I'm doing something with gacha right now and it includes all my versions of 4 and this gives me a very important question

Why do I have so many versions of my 4???

I have 5 in total

Like what???????

She is tied with my 8 for the most versions of a agent character right now(possibly will get even more for the next 4 art contest (I PROMISE I'LL FINALLY DO IT AGAIN WHEN THE DATE IS ANNOUNCED))

An update.

(Created June 9th, 2024)

Hello my lovely readers (both old and new). It has been a very hot minute since I have posted anything and I recognize that. I just wanted to give a short little update on some asks/comments I've been getting recently about my very low activity outside of reblogs.

A lot of stuff has happened personally over the past year or so that has left my thirst for writing completely dried up. I won't go into a lot of details, but there have been a lot of changes in friendships, amongst me training to be a supervisor at work (and completely changing my location of practice and working through a company merger), some more internal conflicts about whether me and my partner are having/adopting kids, amongst many other things. The time I would usually spend writing was during downtime at work, where I had no charting and many cancelations, and that has not been the trend lately- plus there is now a security blocker on my computer that completely blocks Tumblr from use, as well as Google Doc, which were previously the only two places I would draft my writings.

This is not me saying goodbye to writing all together. I still really love and enjoy it, but am needing to find some more free time and get back up the motivation to continue writing, which I have been hoping for over the past 9 or so months, but never happened. Because of this, I haven't moved my blog into "Hiatus", which I'm thinking I'm going to do now to avoid shame over having it open reciecing requests, and feeling too overwhelmed to even respond to them.

So for now, I am putting my blog into Hiatus.

Tips on Kofi are still accepted, but I will absolutely not be asking for any since I know I haven't been giving my all to writing lately, plus there are much more important things your money can be going to rn, like victims of the genocide in Palestine and Palestinian liberation.

In regards to my ongoing series:

I will eventually return to Melancholia, I really just don't know when. I likely will need to do a re-read of everything I've done with it and the parent series before that happens though, which is a lot to go through. I'm not making any promises, but my goal is to finish the series- I will say that much.

As for 5-sides: I completely stopped writing this one for now because I am going through a re-write of the series. Mostly because of the friendship shifts which resulted in 1 individual in the series being removed from my life, plus some shifts in other dynamics in that group. In addition, there were some things I felt I rushed and I could have done better at writing or incorporating devilgrams into the story, so I want to go back and comb through that one as well. I know this one didn't get much engagement because it's OC/my insert content, but it means a lot to me and I will be taking time to re-do it.

As for requests: I am going to put a pause on them until Melancholia is finished (which, like I said, doesn't have a clear timeline). I will also remind folks who do send in requests once they do open back up:

I am not your therapist, so please don't ask me for specific help with a problem you're having. I'm professionally trained and licensed as a therapist, but it is unethical (and illegal) for me to provide services without any agreements, HIPPA compliant technology, or respect for licensing laws that vary state to state, and even if it was, it is not something I want to do in this space. If you need help, please utilize Google or Psychology Today to find any services in your area.

Please keep requests somewhat simple and generalizable to a wider audience. I'm don't necessarily like writing for an mc with a Laundry list of diagnoses/problems occurring at once that seem *very* personal to the individual requesting, as I have many content enjoyers who want to relate to the writing I produce for free. This also takes up a lot more of my time researching to ensure I'm depicting everything correctly. This type of request is much better suited for a commission, given how much time and personalization goes into it. That doesn't mean you can't request writing for a specific diagnosis or problem (such as an eating disorder, self harm, or trauma) though. That I do encourage!

I am a person with a life outside of Tumblr. I have a full time job, an elder pet who needs significant attention, and a decent sized chunk of family and fiends that I am engaged with regularly off of the internet. Please don't harass me about your requests unless I have given you a clear timeline and am not providing updates. If you're just checking in that I have recieved them, I will reply to that and inform you that status of your request. However, you DO NOT need to send me a ton of messages asking the same thing when I had clearly indicated I was/am going to be working on it or that I'm not quite in the space to work on it, but would inform you when I was or tag you in it when its completed. This makes me far less likely to want to write your request. While it doesn't happen often, I've gotten it about commission requests a few times over the past few months and I just wanted this to serve as a gentle reminder.

I do look forward to getting the motivation to write again, and I appreciate all my readers who have supported me (not just with comments, likes, reblogs, and engagement, but financially as well when times were tough). I am so grateful for all of you and I appreciate so much that you all enjoy my writing enough to want to see more. I hope you all understand where I'm at, and can respect that while I take the time that I need ❤️

How do your friends describe you?

i think my friends would describe me as someone who is kind and aloof, maybe a bit confusing. though some of my human friends would describe me as a companion :]. does this seem accurate, @chaosofshadow and @morai-toast?

Adrien's Best Is Never In The Show

At the time of writing this, the Miraculous Paris special has not long gone by (only a few days ago now). And between this special and the movie not terribly long before it, it has highlighted that Miraculous is never at its best when it is in its primary form.

The show is never the best form of the show.

And, in my opinion, it always comes back to the same reason. Oh, sure, there's a lot of reasons that I love the movie, and there's equally as many as to why Miraculous Paris is great, but there's one thing that stands out:

Adrien exists as a character independent of Marinette.

Now, this isn't a perfect metric of course, a lot of his drama in Miraculous New York tied back to Ladybug, and he was honestly rather superfluous in Miraculous Shanghai, but the movie and Miraculous Paris gave him some real characterisation. Even New York, for all its flaws, managed to land some points on that front by giving him a bit of trauma related to accidentally using Cataclysm on Uncanny Valley.

Miraculous Paris doesn't do terribly much with him, but he gets a nice little scene alongside Claw Noir, showcasing some vulnerability and internal pain that clearly gnaws at him.

And the movie? It has its flaws, but we are really getting some insight into his thoughts about his mother, about how deeply the loss of her wounded him.

This is what Adrien's fans have been clamoring for since we realised that the title of "Miraculous: The Adventures Of Ladybug And Chat Noir" was more than a little misleading: giving him some time to exist as a person that is independent of Ladybug/Marinette, as well as independent of his father.

Adrien in these pieces of the franchise gets to be Adrien, rather than Marinette's Love Interest, or Gabriel's Son.

So, going forward into the as-of-yet unaired Season 6? More of that please.

do you ever set up your workspace and become some sort of brady bunch-adjacent hell

[with-love-from-hell]

I haven't seen much of this take so maybe I'm alone in this (spoilers for Nightbringer ahead btw)...

...but in this whole "if humans go to war against demons and angels" thing that's being hinted at by Solomon, I see my MC saying she wants no part in any of that.

Like, as much as I see her understanding Solomons perspective of humans being a play-thing for angels and demons alike, she just wouldn't be able to deal with a full on war. Not only because that would mean hurting the ones she loves, but she is also pacifistic by nature and the idea of a war would outright cause her to panic and become immobile. Also, I really think she would see Solomon's pushing to be on the side of humanity as more of a "We could use you as a weapon" type mentality, which would make her think he's doing the same to her what he claims angels and demons are doing to all humans.

So she would probably flee and fuck off somewhere, or beg Lucifer to just hide out with her somewhere (though he likely would ensure she was safe and unable to be found alone, as much as it would pain him to do). She's definitely not a fighter, and having Solomon pressure her to do that would make her lose it. If anything else, I'd see her allying with demons more- especially considering her background, and how awful most other human beings she had encountered in close relations had been to her and religious trauma stuff, plus the demon brothers being the closest thing she's had to a healthy family since she was very young, and even then it wasn't great. I feel like she would feel that Solomon is pushing a moral alignment on her without considering anything about why she's so close to the brothers in the first place, and while she would hate to disappoint him, she just can't bring herself to fight a cause that she feels isn't worthy for bloodshed, especially between the ones she loves.

She would also probably try to convince Solomon to change his mind, and beg him to reconsider- and his stubbornness on the matter would only drive more of a wedge between them. The angst potential is so great...maybe I should write it out. Lol

I love this ethical dilemma that Solomon is giving us. It makes me want to tear my hair out but these are the types of questions that made me interested in philosophy and make it my minor in college.

Also, (just for clarity), when I say hate Solomon or hope he's more of an antagonist, I don't mean I don't like his characters existence. If anything, I love it so much more because his character grinds against my pallet in a way where conflict can be present in my interpretation of the game and writing of my fic. I love that for him lol
