Nominations for The CRiT Awards opened today! For those who aren't familiar, The CRiT Awards are a peer-driven TTRPG awards show where creators can nominate each other to be recognized for their work in the TTRPG space.

For those of you deciding who you’d like to nominate for each category, I hope you’ll consider nominating me for the category of Best Game Master | Indie.

During the eligible period I GM’d two seasons of Monsterhearts: Freshman Year for Girls Run These Worlds and 6 indie one-shots on my own channel. I also facilitated 7 GMless indie games and Shall We? a Wanderhome limited series. (GMing and Facilitating are very much not the same thing, but I want to highlight the number of indie TTRPG shows I've produced/facilitated as well as GM'd.)

In 2023, I started the Incredibly Indie series on RollForFelicity, which is a series specifically intended to get more eyes on games with few (if any) examples of play. I consider myself a huge supporter of indie TTRPGs.

Not only do I increase the visibility of indie TTRPGs, but I’m also very good at running them. I get to the heart of the mechanics and lean into the stories and moments each game is hoping to achieve. When I run a game, I try to run it as the quintessential example of what THAT game can be.

I have a deep love for indie TTRPGs, but more than that, I think I’m really fucking good at running them. So if you’ve enjoyed any of the series or one-shots I’ve GM’d, I hope you’ll consider nominating me for Best Game Master | Indie.

Was looking forward to going out beer hopping today, I’ve only a few opportunities left before dry Jan/Feb, but everyone is sick. Except me. I’m sure my symptoms are just a day behind so instead, I’m at home telling my granddaughter dad jokes.

Me: Hey Rosie

Rosie: What pops?

Me: You know your alphabet right?

Rosie: ABCDEFGHIJKL….

Me: Yeah yeah good so do you know why E is the only letter getting a present from Santa this year?

Rosie: Uhm why?

Me: Because all the other letters are Not E.

Rosy: They are not! They’re good! All the letters are good pops!!! You don’t know anything!!!

Me: <sighs> I could be drinking.

……well

i guess the seoul concert really did put me in my grave cuz i done disappeared again 🙂‍↕️ call me the boy who cried wolf atp w how many times i’ve said i’m coming back lmfao i’m sorry guys

even tho i’m obviously v late, i received some really sweet messages after my last update in may so i’ll be responding to those as well as……… drumroll……… finishing some old drafts and potentially answering some asks that i’ve received since then that are just too yummy to pass up 🫣 but don’t quote me on that y’all know how inconsistent i am

i told myself that i wouldn’t hurtle myself back down the rabbit hole of this blog but after spontaneously reading through what i’d had written so far of the prof soobin fic (…a moment of silence 😔🪦…) i’ve been itching to write again lately AND EVEN MAYBE FINISH THE FIC AHHH IDK just ask berrie she’s been witnessing my inner turmoil abt this soooo i might just fuck around and make a comeback against my better judgement 😗

take that w/ a grain of salt tho it probably won’t last long knowing me i’m also really busy w life these days so if i come back here it’ll be inconsistent for that reason too, just a warning !

i’m sad cuz back in jan/feb i had hit 1k while i was on my hiatus, so i never got to do an event or anything, and it’s been so long now so i probably won’t but still thank you guys so much for enjoying my works that much and for even still being here despite my absence!! an event will come eventually if i’m still around for 2k lol 🤧

@ my mooties be ready for me to pop up in your dms or inboxes 😳🫵🏼 i’ve probably lost all my nonnies atp but if y’all are still around come say hi kiss kiss kiss

today’s my day off so maybe expect some posts soon….. now time to go try and remember what tf my tags are 😀

The perfect 10 liners got its trailer released today and it's airing on sundays, Saturdays are already occupied with Pluto, Kidnap is airing on Friday which is still only halfway through the series, so that means if we are getting The heart Killers it will be mostly on weekdays right? Unless they wait for Kidnap to end which will be almost the end of November

Also knowing gmmtv I cannot trust them, The heart killers is the most anticipated series this year and I'm hoping that they give a weekend slot to it, what do you think?

Traditionally, GMMTV has reserved all their BLs (and now GLs) for the weekend slots (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Their weekdays are for non-BLs or reruns (usually).

So, I don’t think they will divert from this. I think you kinda of hit in the head there. I suspect The Heart Killers will be replacing Kidnap, which is scheduled to air its final episode on 22/11/2024.

I know Dunk mentioned November as the anticipated period for THK release. But Khaotung mentioned we will be getting it “before 31/12/2024” [that cheeky boy!!!! 😆]…

I suspect we will either get our first episode on 29/11/2024 (Friday slot) or if we are getting a special episode before that (please do 🙏🙏🙏🙏 - The Eclipse had a special episode and it was so much fun!), then we will get episode 0/special episode on 29/11/2024 followed by episode 1 on 06/12/2024 (or sometimes they do the special episode a few days prior to episode 1 release)

Either way, I’m fully expecting The Heart Killers to be like Last Twilight was for JimmySea - the series will cross into 2025 to Jan/Feb 2025 🥰

2024 Tumblr Top 10

So what I’m getting from this is that i posted a lot more fic snippets this year than I usually do.  Not a super high notes year, but I’m glad that there was some positive response to things I wrote, both fic and meta.  Thanks everyone!  ^_^

1. 251 notes - Feb 16 2024 A-Fei and Xiaobao sharing the same left-of-normal relationship brain cell. (Pfft. Of course it’s the one I threw together in like 2 minutes as a joke that is my top post.  XD  Love that.  Very representative of this year for me...)

2. 117 notes - Mar 4 2024 Li Xiangyi leaving A-Mian on read for months. (There were quite a few meta thoughts that I sat on for a long time before actually writing them up.  This was one of them.  I have quite a few more that have been percolating for a while that I really ought to get to one of these days...)

3. 85 notes - Mar 17 2024 A-Fei the hooligan. (Another post that was super tongue in cheek and tossed off in under a minute. XD  Thanks again to @kingsandbastardz​ for the added information and corrections! ^_^)

4. 69 notes - Jan 24 2024 The first part of the fic that would eventually be posted as “Done Playing Games” (See #9 below).  Teaser of my take on the episode 13 dual cultivation outtake.  ^_^

Q:

5. 57 notes - Jul 9 2024 My attempt to recreate Lianhualou in the Sims.  I need to go and update the picture to this one.  I’ve made changes and done the interior since posting this.  XD

6. 53 notes - Apr 12 2024 Snippet of the Li LIanhua birthday fic that I never got around to finishing.  I should do that at some point... XD

Once again it's long past WiP Wednesday, but I started work on a new fic that was supposed to be short and is looking like it...

7. 52 notes - May 17 2024 Oh I really need to put this one on AO3.  It’s the threesome modern AU I wrote based around some amazing photoshoots done by Cheng Yi and Zeng Shunxi.

Hey, MLCB fandom. We've been bombarded with some amazing photoshoots today, and I've been losing my entire mind over them all...

8. 52 notes - Mar 17 2024 Part of my long running canon divergent AU for MLCB.  I never really did WiP Wednesday, but I’ve been having fun sharing pieces of this.  Maybe as I have time to get back to working on it, I”ll post more. ^_^

I never manage to catch WiP Wednesday on Wednesday, but I'm particularly happy with this passage, so how about a WiP Sunday? ...

9. 51 notes - Sep 7 2024 The episode 13 dual cultivation fic we all wanted!

Done Playing Games (2201 words) by eirenical

10. 46 notes - Mar 29 2024 Another part of my long running canon divergent AU for MLCB.

I'm having fun posting these every week even if I never seem to actually hit Wednesday, so how about another snippet? ^_^ This...

Horoscope for Friday, January 17, 2025

Aries (March 21-April 19) This might be a challenging day at work for you. Very likely, authority figures, the government or some kind of behind-the-scenes energy will block what you want to do. Ironically, a boss (or a parent) might be sympathetic. (That’s small, but it’s something.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Children might be an increased responsibility today. Likewise, plans related to vacations, social outings, the arts or the entertainment world and even the hospitality industry might be stifled. No wonder you have strong feelings to escape. “I’m outta here!”

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today you might want to have some quiet time at home; however, to your chagrin, you might be challenged by parents, authority figures or others who don’t agree with your plans. Don’t get caught up in a power struggle with anyone. Sidestep this with grace if you can. (Use your clever words.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Meanwhile, you might feel a bit worried today because no matter what you try to do, you’re challenged by authorities or people who tell you that you can’t do something. This can be discouraging.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) This is a poor day for important financial discussions because, very likely, if you challenge someone today their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” Poor day to deal with banks. Poor day to ask for a loan or a mortgage. Even shopping is not ideal.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In one way, this is a positive day for you because the moon is in your sign, which gives you a small advantage over others. Nevertheless, discussions with partners, close friends and even members of the general public will not flow easily. Someone might block your plans.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Do not expect things to go your way today. Even if you keep a low profile, whatever you try to do, even in small ways, will be blocked by rules, regulations, authority figures or even the restrictions of health issues. Therefore, don’t push the river. Take it easy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep things light when talking to friends as well as members of groups and organizations today. This is not the day to get on your soapbox and espouse your views. Au contraire! Others, especially younger people, might not agree and they’re vocal about it. Take it easy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Responsibilities with home, family and parents cannot be ignored today, as you will soon find if you try to press on with other matters related to your outer world. Therefore, face your responsibilities and deal with them as well as you can. Just do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Avoid controversial discussions, which might soon mushroom into arguments today. Likewise, be careful dealing with issues at colleges and universities as well as making travel plans because your efforts will be blocked by someone. Knowing this ahead of time, pull back.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Avoid money squabbles or disputes about shared property or possessions because they could become nasty and petty today. You don’t need this. In fact, you want some peace and quiet right now. You don’t need headaches with others who are telling you what you cannot do. You’re an independent soul!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be as diplomatic and accommodating as you can be today to get along with others because even then, it will be difficult. Someone you know, perhaps a partner, spouse or close friend, might raise objections to whatever you want to do. Or they might accuse you of doing this? Bummer.

hi Sage! I’m having a little issue with the coral theme on my sideblog @finrodingoldo (in case you need to check it out!); the back to top button doesn’t work/get activated at all unless the updates are turned on. is it possible to tweak the code for the back to top button to be on by default and not restricted by the usage of the updates tag? Thanks in advance! 😊

oh yes sorry, the code has been updated but for those who already have the theme i'll show you what to do below the cut, it's a simple fix!

go to the scripts section at the very bottom of the code (you can also search '// date') and find the following:

// Date function updateDate() { let today = new Date(); // return number let dayName = today.getDay(), dayNum = today.getDate(), month = today.getMonth(); const months = [ "jan", "feb", "mar", "apr", "may", "jun", "jul", "aug", "sept", "oct", "nov", "dec", ]; const dayWeek = [ "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", ]; // value -> ID of the html element const IDCollection = ["day", "daynum", "month"]; // return value array with number as a index const val = [dayWeek[dayName], dayNum, months[month]]; for (let i = 0; i < IDCollection.length; i++) { document.getElementById(IDCollection[i]).firstChild.nodeValue = val[i]; } } updateDate();

we just need to wrap this section in {block:ifUpdates}{/block:ifUpdates}

put {block:ifUpdates} above // Date and {/block:ifUpdates} below updateDate();

it should now look like this:

{block:ifUpdates} // Date function updateDate() { let today = new Date(); // return number let dayName = today.getDay(), dayNum = today.getDate(), month = today.getMonth(); const months = [ "jan", "feb", "mar", "apr", "may", "jun", "jul", "aug", "sept", "oct", "nov", "dec", ]; const dayWeek = [ "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", ]; // value -> ID of the html element const IDCollection = ["day", "daynum", "month"]; // return value array with number as a index const val = [dayWeek[dayName], dayNum, months[month]]; for (let i = 0; i < IDCollection.length; i++) { document.getElementById(IDCollection[i]).firstChild.nodeValue = val[i]; } } updateDate(); {/block:ifUpdates}

Non-sleeping baby is here for his weekly overnight stay. It took him a while to get to sleep as per usual. I can never convince him to drink much milk at bedtime so tonight I put most of his bottle of milk on to a weetabix which he gobbled down. At least I’ll know he has a full tummy when he wakes in the night.

Booked an adventure to Finland for April to round off our child free travel before we get ready for another foster placement. We’re holidaying at a rate of one country a month at the moment ✈️ Ireland, Portugal, Germany and Finland for Jan, Feb, March and April.

In other news, next week I’m taking two siblings, a toddler and a baby, for a week of holiday care. As well as 2 yr old twins one day, non-sleeping baby for his night, and a 1 yr old for an afternoon. It’s going to be a busy week. The toddler is in nursery three days though. The only pinch points are one lunchtime when I have my final counselling session, and 9am one day when toddler needs to be at nursery at the same time that the twins arrive. Thankfully H is super flexible with his working hours so he can help out.

And in yet other news, the car electrics have gone a bit weird and our headlights and reverse lights keep turning themselves randomly on. I woke up this morning to loads of messages from the street whatsapp telling me we’d left the lights on. The car has been to the electrician today, and he hasn’t solved the issue but he’s stopped the reverse lights coming on randomly. Unfortunately he’s also stopped them coming on at all, even when the car is in reverse. He’s sent the car back to us to see how the lights behave over the next few days. Then we’ll review. Ugh cars. Why do they have to go wrong!!

My girl today ✨✨✨ She has 3 of these dresses, one in pink, blue, and this one. Kevin went a bit crazy when he saw all the cute stuff for like $7 /piece 😂💕 She has another classic Mexican white one with colorful flowers, and I found a newborn version of the same dress for my cousin whose expecting a baby girl in JAN/FEB 🥹

We also got surprise news that K’s cousin and his wife had their second baby boy today after almost a handful of miscarriages - I’m so happy for them 🙏🏽

They’d been trying for a couple years for their second and I guess they stopped telling absolutely anyone except their nuclear family after so many losses (which of course, I’d do the same).

I’m just so relieved to know that they got their baby safely earthside, I can’t imagine that pain 😓

Hey, so it looks like my issue with Etsy will not be solved. Not only did they put my shop on “vacation mode” they also decided to hold my funds, so people who paid for my art got their money taken by Etsy. I had three choices: 1) Honor the orders and pay for the items from my own pocket. 2) Cancel the orders and pay the cancellation from my own pocket or 3) Refund the orders and pay them from my own pocket. I chose 1 and all the orders should now be shipped. I just hope Etsy will pay the people back, if they’re not going to give me the money…

This week has been super shitty to me. I’m probably re-doing my kofi shop to deliver prints & stuff again. At least Printful has been pretty good to me.

Anyway, as such, I’m holding a “Fuck Etsy Giveaway”. The rules are very simple. Comment on this post and tell me something that gives you joy in your life or something that gives you hope for the future (or why not both, if you feel like it!) I think because of how the world is today, reminding ourselves about the good might actually be… well… Good.

Use the 🌕 emoji at the start of your comment when writing about joy and the 🌑 emoji when writing about hope.

There will be two winners and they will be chosen randomly. There will be two prices. First one will be a free “detailed style” commission from me and the second one will be a “simple style” commission from me. Winners will also receive prints of their commissions, the first place prize will be 21 x 30 cm matte art print and print-ready digital file of their commission and the second place will either get a sticker or a postcard (the winner may choose) + the print-ready digital file of their commission! The prizes will also be chosen randomly between the winners. Multiple comments will not make you any luckier btw ;)

More details about my commissions here: vindersart.carrd.co

Deadline to comment is 31st of December at midnight (UTC+02:00). The winners will be chosen during January 2024 and their prizes should be delivered between late-jan or mid-feb.

Good luck!

What’s your publishing schedule looking like?

That’s a great question. I have no clue (kidding but also not?)

Kidding…not kidding lol…send help pls. But seriously.

Rough Schedule (As it Stands)

I’m currently working on a follow up to Relinquish that sort of fell by the wayside. That is nearly done (75-80%) and it will be up before the end of week (ideally today or tomorrow). This will just be added as a second chapter to the original.

Leather Black I’m actually planning to post more frequently on because that’s meant to be a short series similar to how I did Empty Rooms. I’m planning to resume updates for that this week/weekend with weekly updates but will ideally be more like every 2-3 days depending on my schedule. I really like this one so I’m eager to update for it but I think I just started tackling it at a time where there was a lot going on in my personal life that messed up my schedule quite a bit.

After Hours is reaching its end with maybe another 2-3 chapters (the last likely being an epilogue) so I’m trying to wrap it up by getting back to (at minimum) a biweekly update schedule. Max I’m giving myself to finish is through end of January since that’s around when I first started it. Should have an update to this by the end of next week.

Similar to After Hours, I intend to wrap up Promise Me very soon as well with, likely, another 2-3 chapters. The alternating updates really worked well for me as I would just toggle between which one was the previously updated fic. (Unrelated) Promise Me I’ve actually been debating on because I already set the layout for a sequel in my head. I was thinking about whether I wanted to just keep it going or create a separate fic for it and right now I feel like the latter so we’re surprisingly wrapping that up soon. Should have an update on this in about two weeks if not sooner.

I want to lighten the load before I tackle anything further so I think this is the point where I kind of stop the addition of any new fics until I get a better handle on my current WIP. That said, I most likely won’t be updating Hour of Need or When We Serve until I finish After Hours and Promise Me. Encore is there as well though I’m feeling a little iffy on whether or not I want to come back to that but we’ll see. HoN and WWS will likely follow the pattern of alternating biweekly or even weekly updates between the two once After Hours and Promise Me are done. We’re going to give these a hopeful return in early February but may come sooner.

I’ve gotten several Tumblr requests in my asks that I do see and will definitely get too. I have a tendency to overload myself and I’m very susceptible to burnout so those are just a little behind but I’m hoping to add a few into my update schedule resuming in Mid-Jan/Early-Feb if not sooner once I wrap up Leather Black and my other two bigger fics.

As always, thank you everyone for being so patient with me. I hope that I’m fortunate enough where I can eventually just write for a living and just play with words all day. Until then, I most resume my normal day to day life which isn’t nearly as exciting but keeps me equally busy. I write most of my fics on my phone but also try to sit at my computer to write which tends to motivate me more. Unfortunately, my computer has been inoperable for a few months now as I’ll likely need to replace the CPU I’m pretty sure I broke lol. It’s had to take a backseat to a few other things but I’m planning to get a replacement in mid January and hopefully that’ll help with a lot with my productivity.

I hope this provides anyone looking for their particular favorite of my works, a bit of relief knowing that updates are coming soon. Thank you all for being the best part of getting to do this, truly. 🩵

it's been a minute since i posted one of these so..

here’s some of colby’s tweets from 2021.

i don’t have proof that these are his tweets, but believe me, they are his.

if it’s bold and italicized, it’s someone’s tweet to him.

(….interesting lol)

fan: @/ColbyBrock do u have any advice on keeping productive on something even though it isn’t ur favourite thing to do but u need to get it done

set goals and make sure you do things in little pieces. if you don’t like something you’re doing just make sure you’re getting it done in the way YOU want to. take it day by day instead of procrastinating and doing it last minute

fan: y r u awake @/colbybrock

fan: @/ColbyBrock how often do you not sleep at night because your mind is too loud?

i sleep terribly most nights. i have this weird insomnia that forces me to be up at 3am daily

so assuming you’re in highschool, just know that you might think your social circle means the world to you right now .. but everything can change (if you let it) after you graduate. life changes so much after graduation! focus on making good relationships and having fun :)

here’s a breakdown of my breakdown and my former company’s marketing department breakdown. (this is for myself for future reference if i ever question why i left bc I’m scared of new things sometimes and romanticize past things) - me telling my boss i’m overwhelmed every month since july 22.  - my boss and I having an offsite meeting in oct 22 where she asks me if I’m “really in this” and that she will only help me if i’m “really in this.” a bee lands in my cup. i acquiesce and say i’m “really in this.” - my boss, is and has been, really shitty towards all of us (june 22-nov 22) and i’m afraid the whole department is going to quit and so I call her bosses, the ceo and the president (because if i’m “really in this” then i’m going to do it the “right way”) and say “if this doesn’t change everyone is going to quit and you won’t have a department anymore.” - i take a week off for thanksgiving and can’t get out of bed. decide to also take a week off in between christmas and new year’s. - i get called in during PTO on dec 28, 22 for a very important meeting* that is then cancelled 5 mins before it starts. - i am also not very good at getting out of bed this week either. - i get a new job description and a new report on jan 1, 23, except there isn’t really a job description just my boss telling me once exactly what she wants me doing which was this sentence, “own the leads.”  - my one report is on a vacation and the brand team utterly falls apart because they are running a brand awareness campaign with a digital component that is meant to drive interest but they have not thought about funneling that interest literally....anywhere and I must create a whole upper funnel marketing program by myself in the span of two weeks.   - i hire another report to help out with the leads but a person gets hired to the general marketing team (and reports to my boss) and I am responsible for training them so I spend over 40 hours training them and then they quit three weeks later at the end of feb 23.   - mar 23 - my original direct report goes on maternity leave and I start getting pulled into these interrogation type meetings in the board room. everyone with chief in the title on one side of the table and me, marketing manager (1 of 3 marketing managers on the team) on the other side of the table. it was the only logical seat because it was also the only vacant seat. i was actually terrified. these 2-3 hour long meetings happen every. single. day. until i breakdown crying in the middle of the 14th one (that’s business days only, readers). I lie and say that I had a family emergency to attend to. so I got up and walked out.  - the following monday, march 27, 23, I tell my boss I’m putting in my notice, without a plan. she responds, “can’t say I’m surprised” - that next week, the multi-hour meetings continue except they have pulled in the other 2 marketing managers so I am not the only one on my side of the table anymore. before the end of the week is over, they fire marketing manager #2.  - monday, apr 10, 23, i’m told to work from home the rest of the week and that my last day will be that friday.  - monday, apr 17, 23 was my first day of funemployment. I slept 15 hours. I have slept 9-10 hours every night since. - today, apr 25, 23, they fired my second direct report.  I could not eat well due to stress and anxiety during this time. I could not sleep well due to stress and anxiety during this time. I could not go to the gym due to stress and anxiety during this time. I could not take care of myself due to stress and anxiety during this time.  I will NEVER let that happen to me again.

happy birthday to kujiloid(utau) and ihiro(utau) !!! [apr 13]

kujiloid

ihiro

they are both windows 100% utaus (look at 1 feb post for more information)

 kujiloid comes with the starter-pack or can be gotten with the jan 2012 mook. (am i going crazy or does that not work with her release being 13 april 2012) (it might be the july 2012 issue i honestly could not tell you what the hell) (fuck no i think its the may 2012 issue, released on 13 apr 2012) her release is listed as 13 apr 2012 on the fandom wiki and vocadb though so im saying her bday is today. i think 13 apr 2012 was when she first appeared on nico douga. she's voiced by Matsumoto Wakako aka Kujira, and illustrated by Romilio 

 ihiro/ ihiro-chan first appeared on nico douga on 13 apr 2013, they're voiced by Igarashi Hiromi, and illustrated by kakao. they are one of the last windows 100% utaus to be released, and were released as a giveaway (i guess ?) 

 good fuck, finding anything about the Windows 100% utaus always takes years off my life, there is like nothing anywhere, and where there are things they contradict eachother or don't site sources and I have no idea what's going on !!

also I'm not doing very well recently, so I might miss some days of posting, especially in the coming couple months. or I might not post at all maybe. if that's the case I'll say when the birthdays I'm missing are and whos birthdays they are in one big post just; all the ones I'll be potentially missing will be posted at once and with no information on the synths. sorry !
