ONE DAY (2024)

[wantshimsorely]

“Would you worship me like a god? Would you kneel before me?”

Yes, exactly like that!

Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true.

That you love me.

And I love me.

I realize I have not provided an update on my BG3 adventures and a few of you seemed invested, so...

I now have around 420 hours in the game (a little over 10 work weeks full of gameplay), I have two concurrent playthroughs in progress and 6 or 7 finished, I have many mods installed, my Tavs are beautiful, I'm playing on tactician, and I keep romancing Gale and Astarion to experience various permutations of the relationship. I have also considered making a side blog for this specific interest because I have nowhere to contain my feelings about it 😭

Agent Carter is like the hidden gem of the MCU. It's like the Marvel show everyone forgets to talk about—until you mention it.

Fusion idea: Mayor Mare + Princess Twilight Sparkle (the ultimate ruler of Ponyville)

For sure!! I've been thinking of this fusion as Lady Twimare, which isn't as elegant as some other fusion names but... I think it matches her overall vibe ^^

Also want to take the opportunity to recommend an awesome fic about these two: Paperwork. It's a shipfic set in s1 (but written quite recently) that is just a really fun read. Hope you all enjoy!

Hello to you both! I've been meaning to write a response about the hiatus so consider this an answer to your question as well as others who are wondering!

We did update Patreon with 2 pages on Monday to start a weekly buffer, having two pages ready to post while others are being made. We will update later today so stay tuned. :) I fully intend to return to GUG this month and we've already started on Patreon.

There are also some personal reasons why we haven't updated the public.

(cw: death mention, child death)

I've been busy with my middle school teaching and there was an event that made it difficult to post the public pages. The reason I started GUG was to help come to terms with my father's cancer treatment so GUG was a way to cope with the idea of mortality and the relationships with the people who raised you. I intended to keep this theme as there is a major character death coming up in the public pages.

A month ago I had to deal with the hardest reality of being a teacher -- losing a student far too early in his life. It was a difficult time for the students, the school, myself to take the news. I wasn't ready to post the upcoming pages while dealing with these issues IRL. Sometimes art helps us cope with reality, sometimes it hurts too close so I kept this in mind for myself as well as the audience for GUG. I was able to create these pages last year with a better mindset, but it was hard for me to post them now.

With that in mind, I appreciate your patience and I look forward to updating all of you again with this comic. :) Bad things will happen in GUG, just like growing up in real life, but I assure you guys that there will be sweetness in the end.

Here's to the New Year!

to blogs with muses that belong to small rpcs, possibly nonexistent rpcs, OCs, or are otherwise obscure: here’s a reminder that you’re amazing.

i know it can get discouraging when nobody seems interested. yet still, you soldier on, you introduce people to your funny little critters, you talk about your characters and post about them. crossovers are made, creativity is nurtured and niche bits expanded upon—it is inspiring!

the love you pour into your muse(s) is wonderful. the dedication you have to simply enjoy your character—even if you have little interaction—is awe-inspiring. every drabble you write, ask you answer, worldbuilding you do… it’s all magnificent.

you are a sweet reminder to everyone that roleplay is for fun, and that you don’t have to be in a big circle or have a large audience to have a great time. you are amazing.

I’ve gotta sit down at some point and do a proper classpecting session for the Hermits & co, but for some quick musings Prince of Time!Grian feels appropriate

ONE DAY (2024)

[askquarantinedredheart]

It's the 1 Year Anniversary of Ask Quarantined Redheart! Thank you all so much for following this silly little blog. As of this post, 195 of you are following Redheart's time in quarantine with tuberculosis. That's honestly a whole lot more followers than I ever expected for this story, especially for something that I've always considered a labor of love.

With working on the blog for a year, a couple of things popped up that I have mused on a little. I wasn't expecting people to latch onto two things that were originally very minor in my plot point document at the current point in the story: Redheart's crush on Dr. Stable and Moony. In my original plot point summary, I actually have Dr. Stable's first appearance right at the end of Volume 1 (no spoilers beyond that...) and Moony was just a nameless schizophrenic stallion. With Redheart and Dr. Stable, I figured that readers would be into it but it's been much more popular than I thought it would be.

And of course, Moony gets a paragraph to himself. In my original script, Moony wasn't a bat pony or even specified as a unicorn, earth pony, or pegasus. Like I said, he was just a nameless homeless schizophrenic. It's fairly recently that I realized that Quarantined Redheart isn't just about Redheart anymore. It's become just as much Moony's story as it is Redheart's. Their stories have become intertwined. There's a part of me that feels his popularity comes in part due to my medical training. I've mentioned a couple of times that I'm a medical student and schizophrenia is one of many medical conditions that we learn about. Even if I don't go into psychiatry, there's a part of me that felt that if I didn't put as much accuracy into portraying schizophrenia as I did with tuberculosis and its treatment, it would've been a reflection on me not just as a storyteller but as a doctor in training. Clearly, it paid off.

With all that said, what's next for Quarantined Redheart until the 2 Year Anniversary? I said a little while ago that I wanted to try to get Volume 1: Isolation finished up around May 2025, probably June 2025. This is also likely a very optimistic timeline due to clinical rotations, the next round of board exams, and needing to think about residency applications at around that same timeframe. But assuming the timeline does work out, Volume 2: The Other Side of the Door would get started about a month or two after Volume 1. And before anyone asks, there is no planned Volume 3 for Quarantined Redheart. It was always planned to be a two volume story. Maybe in the future there'll be some stories with the characters people like. But it wouldn't be specifically Quarantined Redheart and that would be very far in the future.

Anyway, that's enough rambling. Thanks again for sticking around!

So

I might be... a teensy bit stupid-

One of my main inspirations for this project is Don't Hug Me I'm Scared...

AND YET I'VE NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED MAKING OBJECT PUPPET CHARACTERS FOR THIS?!

THIS GIVES ME SO MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHARACTERS UGHHHH...

I am but a fool...

Anywho!!!

Have a book stack lady, while you all wait for your asks to be answered!!~

She might end up a librarian? Or maybe a secretary? I haven't decided yet!

Update on your mod's BG3 playthrough:

Like seemingly everyone else in the Baldur's Gate 3 tag, I'm working on romancing Astarion (something about my concurrent reading of Carmilla, etc.)...

Which had me thinking about vampirism in general. Here's a book chapter that discusses the historical and literary evolution of vampirism as well as its transformation in science fiction settings.

JESUS CHRIST is a MUSE of LIFE!

[primamchorus]

"And...these islands you say you come from..." his voice was gentle, patient, though was a window into the him that sought to learn. "What was it like there and would you ever like to go back?"

"I'd love to go back," she sighed longingly. "My family still lives there, and after...after everything with the Final Days, it should be my first priority to go back. But..."

She shook her head.

"But...to answer your question... It's balmy on good days, the warm sands perfect to walk on as the sounds of the ocean break upon the shore, a backdrop to the seabirds that fly overhead, or nest around. Wild fruits grow all around, the islands offering its incredible and sweet bounty to our people." She smiled, a distant, though warm look in her eyes. "And the people...oh, how they all come together -- be it times of sadness, times of mirth, or simply just...times."

He chuckled lightly. "And what does that mean?"

"It means your cousins, siblings, aunts, uncles, and friends coming over whenever they feel like it!" she giggled. Calming, she only offered a last amused scoff before going on, "But it's always just...that... Family, community. Sometimes it drives you wild, but at the same time? They're always there, sticking their necks out for you -- for each other."

"Do you miss it?"

"Sometimes."
