life updates for fun and profit

HI FRIENDS!! 

As you maybe just saw in the post I reblogged from six months ago, my life has changed dramatically since I gave up tumblr rp. I mean, I’m writing a damn novel, that’s a little time-consuming. 

My MFA program is a place of warmth and welcome and belonging I am so grateful for. Unfortunately, we won’t be having our twice-a-year residency this June, for obvious reasons: the US handling of covid is utter garbage. 

Why am I showing up here, apart from nostalgia? Well, I wanted to see if I’d left anything of use on this blog, because I’m about to get semi-serious about writing the story of my best friend and I’s digimon ocs. 

Basically, as much as I love my thesis project, it’s stressful. I want something I’m a) excited about, b) has a lot of plans already, c) isn’t being looked at critically or graded, but which I can still d) attempt to have scheduled progress on. 

So, while I’m hoping to update a fanfic or two soon on my Ao3 account (which, post below has links if y’all want some DaiKen navigating trauma with bdsm nonsense), I don’t really... have a solid plan I can just write towards on anything there. I do have that, though, for our digiverse. 

Most of the work has been done privately on discord, which means for everyone else, it’ll hopefully feel fresh and exciting, as it’s an original story in a familiar world. I will be posting installments on ToyHouse either biweekly or monthly, starting in late June, around when I’d normally be driving 8hrs to my residency but this time will instead be staring at a lot of zoom meetings. 

You can find our world here: https://toyhou.se/~world/41638.digiverse

One more post to come, but for anyone still around, please just know what the digirp community meant to me, what it still means to me. It was a place where I could be dark and messy and horrible and playful and loved all the same. It was everything I needed to survive those years of my life. Thank you.

Whoops!! Guess who just passed her second term of grad school last week! Hint, it’s this bitch. Reblogging the above for the link info; brief update post to follow :) 

briefly shows the fuck back up out of nostalgia

HEY FRIENDS. I don’t do much RP anymore, but every once in awhile I come reread old stuff on here and my other digiblogs. What do I do instead?

Well. Whoops. I kinda just started a bit of fanfic some of y’all might enjoy. It’s DaiKen, and much more canon-adjacent than this fucker ever was. I’m having fun. 

I also found out two nights ago some news that made me incredibly happy and wanted to share. 

I just passed my first term of grad school!!!

I’m currently a student in Seton Hill’s Writing Popular Fiction MFA, aka I just got my project fully approved, aka I’m writing the novel of my dreams over the next two-ish years. The first 50 pages is complete and polished. Outline is better than any I’ve ever written for any writing project. 

I still talk about digimon a ton lol, and have been considering a series of analysis essays someplace! And, my dear friend Trevor and I plan to start posting some of the work we’ve been doing on our American Digidestined storyline. So far, setting-wise it incorporates Adventure and 02, as well as Cyber Sleuth and Hacker’s Memory. It’s all OCs with unique crests and canonical digimon. 

Where can I be found, if anyone wants to catch up? A few places. Twitter is easiest: I’m @ LadyOfSparrows there. I’m also on discord, same handle which you can poke me for if you don’t already have it. My fanfic is on ao3, also LadyOfSparrows, and I have a Toyhouse account I’ll be using for that OC digiverse storyline I mentioned. That’s just LadySparrow. 

Here’s links, though:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/LadyOfSparrows  AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/LadyOfSparrows  Toyhouse: https://toyhou.se/LadySparrow 

I’m not sure I can ever express how much digirp meant to me. I still look back on all the shit I did here fondly. I was in a dark, dark place for a good chunk of undergrad and after, too. But I’m maybe finally pulling my shit together as an adult. 

Much love to everyone who RP’d with me, chatted with me, sent me memes, liked my posts. Thank you for helping me form who I am today.

“Ah, shit--!”

She had just dived straight into the first gate she saw, failing to check if it would lead her home or send her to another realm entirely. The moment she passed through, though, Zorana could tell: wherever she was headed, it wasn’t back into her home in Washington, DC. 

When she tumbled out the other end, she landed on her front, letting out a sharp yelp as Dracomon fell onto her back immediately after. 

“You’re a sack of bricks,” she wheezed, pushing her partner weakly and struggling to get upright. 

“Sorry!”

Seated now, she rubbed her forehead, glancing at the Digimon beside her. “At least you shrank back down,” Zorana said with a sigh. Slayerdramon would have crushed her. 

“I was trying to warn you not to use that one, you know!” he huffed back. 

“Too late now.” Trying to orient herself, Zorana scanned the area, noting a stone archway above her, a small town at her front, and a forest behind. As well as--

Oh. Crawling up to her feet, Zorana gave the young woman a hesitant smile, nudging Dracomon to get behind her. There was no telling where they were, and what this person might think of a talking dragon. 

She ran her hand through her hair, clearing her throat with a timid cough. She was still a bit winded from the chase in cyberspace, and the landing after their escape. “Um, hello. This may be strange to ask, but, ah, where exactly are we?”

Dangerously-Determined started searching for Shinzo

@dangerously-determined

The sun had risen in the East and hung at the mid-morning point, warming the back of the lone traveler as she made her way West to the second town she had come to on her journey. It was a sweet relief on her part, having yearned for a bed along her body at night, rather than the ground and her meager sleeping bag, which was tied around her in the form of her backpack.

She had barely reached the edge of the town, a small stone arc marking the entrance the fringes of the marketplace, which seemed to be bustling in the daylight. Yakumo smiled, glad to be able to fill her rations once more.

However, she faltered for a moment, gaze peering at the archway that held itself as a barrier between forest and town, the stones formed perfectly to hold up and keep an entrance steady for all. But something was far from the sturdy feeling it should invite, Yakumo could feel it welling in her chest. Was it a portal? Some eyes on her? Her gaze flicked around, trying to locate the source of this strange feeling crawling up her spine.

Shizuoka. Her aunt had taken her to explore for the weekend, and seeing as she knew enough of the language to get by, she’d been given free reign to wander. Said wandering had led her to this shrine. 

She’d just been taking a glance around when the girl who must have been a shrine maiden greeted her. “Oh! Hello there!” She bowed in return. “I’m just looking around, but I might pray as well... It’s very peaceful here.” Something had drawn her to the place, probably that sense of peace. 

Her partner was in his lower form, Babydmon, and tucked away in her backpack. She’d told him to try and stay as hidden as possible, so when he began headbutting her in the back, she wasn’t pleased. Turning her head slightly, she listened to him whisper (rather loudly) something about a Digimon nearby. 

Feeling her smile grow more awkward by the second, Zorana reached up to smooth her hair. “Um...you said this shrine is to Orihime-sama and Hikoboshi-sama?”

Virtues Aren’t Easy

@dangerously-determined 

“Ah! Welcome!” Stopping in the middle of her sweeping, a polite bow was given. Raising herself up, she offers a smile to the girl. “Is there something I can help you with at this shrine? Or have you come to pray to Orihime-sama and Hikoboshi-sama?” Given they could pray to other gods, but the shrine itself was mainly for those two.

The overpowering pure aura would be one thing this person noticed hopefully, and that was because of the hidden Crest of Balance beneath her Miko outfit around her neck.

Nearby, Renamon watched, blue eyes locking onto the new person, and the one thing that stood out was the fact they were missing an arm. Of course, Nozomi being Nozomi, didn’t seem to notice at all. Had they been in a fight like that one guy who had the personality of a woken out of hibernation bear?

elysiancode:

“I am not interested in people who would disagree with simple fact,” Zen said. “Just because some people have more flesh than others doesn’t make it necessary. I lack all sorts of things other people have. Some say social graces, for instance.”

He looked up at Zorana with a blank face, flashing an unsettling but clearly purposeful grin before turning to the side and pulling up some sort of interface.

“I can fix it,” he said. “You’ll need to stay still so that I can do it properly, but I should be able to bypass server resets. The patch your friend Aster put on your avatar isn’t bad, but whenever we do maintenance that sort of thing gets reset. I can make it permanent but I’ll need to rewrite part of it.”

Zen set to work without really asking, looking between the pulled up screen, full of the typed code itself, and Zorana’s phantom arm, which seemed to glitch in and out, becoming translucent for a moment before opaque again, but any sensation of its presence should’ve begun to dissipate. For this level of digitation Zen could hide the image, but needed to remove all the code for the arm itself, and add in something to prevent the standard rewrite which occurred on reset. Some people’s customizations had been entirely wiped at the last maintenance reset. They practically had to start over.

It was during this phase of testing and writing that the duo would receive several visitors. Not unwanted, but not necessarily invited.Not directly, at least. It wasn’t often that Zen had company. 

What a curious person indeed. Zorana just nodded, giving a brief smile of her own before allowing the man to get to work. It was a relief when the strange sensation of a right arm began to fade, but she didn’t have much time to enjoy it before some voices started up behind her shoulder. 

“Doru, don’t bother Zen when he’s working!”

“But I wanna see the new human, Ryuda!” 

The pair tumbled into view, one of them clearly having toppled from a perch on the other’s back. They’d been peering around the doorway, but now one wandered up to Zorana while the other chased after. 

“Hey there!”

“H-hi,” she replied, giving the--Dorumon?--a smile. The one who must have been Ryudamon bowed to her, coming up behind his companion and nudging him. 

“Be polite,” Ryudamon cautioned. 

“I’m better than polite, I’m friendly! Anyways, what’s your name?” He blinked up at her, expectant while waiting for her response. 

Complying immediately, and having dealt with curious digimon before, Zorana brightened her smile. 

“My name’s Zorana. It’s nice to meet you both.” The pair had curious red triangular gems adorning their foreheads. She had to wonder what that might mean.

Babydmon was bouncing back and forth between Zorana’s shoulders as she sat on a bench in the park and spoke to her father on the phone, explaining she’d be home late. She’d made plans with Aster and their Digimon. Just as she was pulling the phone from her ear, her partner slipped behind her back, falling completely still and silent.

That’s when she noticed the tall guy walking past, who was giving her a curious look. “Uh...sorry, can I help you? Directions, maybe? There’s nothing here to see, really, until you go farther into the city.” Dammit, Babydmon, you always play around in public when you shouldn’t...
