Just wanna say that I think Ekko and Mel slander makes sense when you understand that 85% of the Arcane fandom views both of them as characters less worthy of fandom attention.

In their eyes, they are afterthoughts to more interesting relationships, so when someone in the 15% dares to give them anything outside of dutiful lamentations ("Mel and Ekko deserved better!"), they can't help but feel those analysis would be better suited for a character they *actually* like and so they lash out.

Fans of both characters have to constantly argue that these characters have loved and have been loved. They want Mel "independent" because she doesn't "need love" and they want Ekko focused on The Tree and the unnamed Firelights because they want it to be easier to carve both of them out of the interpersonal narratives that attaches fandoms to characters in the first place.

They want Mel and Ekko to "save the day" because they don't want their roles in the story to interfere with other characters that they like. Better for them to beat the Bad Guys™ than to be given more material that would validate their personal connections with other characters in ways that the fandom would prefer to ignore.

And the fact that Ekko and Mel are completely different characters who have never once interacted with each other and yet somehow both of them are being treated the same way with how the fandom constantly diminishes their relationships with the rest of the main cast leads me to believe that it does have something to do with the One Trait they do share.

Okay... I'm definitely not ready to say anything about this elsewhere so what u read here stays here PLEEEAAAAASE 🙏😭 I'll split it into sections so its easier to digest LOL

Okay, I finally admit it aloud:

Reading orion's reply to this post about me having "I turned my hobby into a task"-itis really struck me. I've felt it to be true for about a year now but kept it inside...

When writing my super doc in April, I thought "I can't wait until I never think about Daybreak Town again." And the idea of me restarting all over with KHML if it gets overly-complicated too... ugh

So I think in a year at the earliest, I'm going to try leaving the KH community. I will keep this beloved blog and still play future KH titles, but I want to focus on my real life. I want a career, but I'm 26 and have made no strides towards it at all. I want my driver's license and an onsite job! I don't want my life to revolve around sitting at my computer anymore.

what this means for my projects:

But I can't stop now since I'd let down people I made promises to. I said I would release all of X-position as videos, and I literally just started a new podcast with my friend Hannah like 2 weeks ago... Both projects I said yes to while still thinking about how burnt out on KH I am... What is wrong with me!

the podcast: I double-checked to see that Hannah doesn't follow me here because I really I don't want to hurt her, I love her and don't want to let her down. I want the podcast to continue at least a year before breaking this to her. I counted our topics up to DDD, and that already gives us 50+ topics, plenty for a weekly release. Plus, I do like the idea of helping new KH fans learn without being spoiled, it's why I said yes to begin with!

as for my youtube channel, I'll make an announcement after X-Position is entirely out. I will give my Patreon a heads up beforehand, so they can decide to keep supporting until the end or not, but I will close it entirely when the channel ends. I planned other videos outside of KHUX, but they'll have to be good-ol'-fashion text analyses here.

And as for my webcomic, this hurts too because I LOVED writing it! I want to finish the 7th chapter I started long ago, then release the entire story as text, and then finally release a certain chapter that I was really looking forward to illustrating.

leftover feelings:

It sucks too because my IRL friends are new KH fans, so they're all learning things I've known for years, making jokes I've heard for years. They think I'm still in it for the long haul, one of them just bought all of us matching seasalt icecream charms 😭 How do I break it to them that I want to move on from KH. I feel like a movie where a washed up gunman wants to retire LOL

I have journaled (and sometimes cried lol) about this almost daily for the past 2 weeks, but that comment orion made (with multiple seconding replies!) made me go ".... ok yeah I have to talk about this." It just feels SO cathartic seeing people say aloud what I have been feeling. It gives me the courage to continue until the end and not like... fake my death online LOL AAAAAA—

if this was 2019 I would have thought "yeah I'll just stop, people won't mind that much" because my philosophy was what I did online wasn't THAT important to people (tone I truly say this with: at peace, content, meditative). But ever since 2020, it feels like the internet is so important to people's values and focus, it's scarier to leave things!

Anywaayyyyyys- I really loved @djpachipikachu 's DTIYS so here it is! Your art is gorgeous, btw!

[chronically-enthusiastic]

ELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HI HULLOOOOOOOOOO

also like saying Eli out loud its such a nice name like eee liI it makes me think of mountains and this one childrens picture book I read where the name is long forgotten and it was about these two kids going on an adventure in these mystical mountain forests in summer (I think it was possibly set in the aotearoan bush)

anywaayyyyyy how are youuuuuuuu my dear eli

HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO THERE LINNN!!!!!!!

hehehe Eli is the first few letters of my irl name but its pronounced like Ellie in my real name but I really dont like that name so I always correct people when they abbreviate to my full name but then my real name is long and hard to remember but I much prefer Eli to Ellie so I am thinking of changing the pronunciation of my first name to Eli[rest of it] so that Eli actually makes sense as a nickname. Because I dont like Ellie as a nickname.

Yeah that was a long tangent and i have no idea if that made sense but i wanted to tell youuu hehehe XDD

I LOVE THAT MY NAME HAS CONNOTATIONS OF THAT FOR YOU!!! XDDDD

I'm good!! I broke up for half term today so I'm looking forward to the holidays!! you?

[miraiq]

I don't have the energy or time to update my muse list atm--- BUT I'm probably going to add:

-Marth (Smash/Engage focused cause I'm a fake gamer and perma-death in earlier titles scares me)

-Ashe and Sylvain (possible Yuri) from Fire Emblem 3 Houses/Hopes

-Ahiru/Duck and Fakir from Princess Tutu

-Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket

-Keith from Voltron Legendary Defenders

-Sakura and Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura AND Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles

-Link from the Legend of Zelda series (with a focus on Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, BoTW, and ToTK) I'll keep on his own blog located here: kawenan -Childe/Tartaglia will also stay on his own blog found here: krepkiy

Muses to be tested will be:

-Chrom from FE:Awakening (Engage applicable)

-Leo from FE:Fates

-I wanna add someone from Honkai Star Rail but I don't have anyone yet besides the MC that I could possibly write for/have a muse for....

I'm trying to branch out a bit more and not be so Fire Emblem oriented but it has been such a large and dominant part of my roleplaying life that I also don't want to let it go. And some things I may love with all my life (for example Digimon) but I won't have a muse for the series. But I am always willing to try if asked-- especially if it's from a series I know.

Anywaayyyyyy~ that's all I got for an update at this point in time.

[thefatalmarksman]

also other than what i got in drafts, smol wishlist:

t.wisted w.onderland threads. i have mutuals but i have been garbage at approaching. and also??? a chance to play either sweet babey luxu or xig posing as someone from the arcane response unit or the most recent addition to their staff that crowley definitely would never question??? yeah yeAH YEAH

b.orderlands things. bc i'm missing my pointy alien version of xig

uuuuh horror stuff. i've been in suuuuuuuch a horror mood. probably would have to piggyback on my RE verse.. but hey, anything can be horrific under the right circumstances B)

anywaayyyyyy if you feel like.. any of these........ you should love on me. js.

[foxymoxynoona]

Heellloooo I swear I didn’t faint after I told you I was going to pull an all nighter to read everything (okay maybe I did, I’m sleep deprived but ANYWAY) I think I just processed that flux is over 🙂 I’m this close 🤏🏻 to going in my email inbox and mark all the flux emails as “not read” so it’ll feel like you’re still updating. Delusional, I know🥰. Regardless I’m so happy another story is done because 1. I can now download it on my ebook😉 and 2. we’re leaving Sasha and JK in such a nice place. Way better than Little Bean’s ending, at least now there is no sugarcoating those “I love you”s🥹. Also, now that’s it’s over, I can finally say: reading flux has been like going through the 7 stages of grief😀 we literally had it all! I’m not forgetting the pain I went through while reading THAT part of the story but I’m so glad it was worth it in the end (as usual, it’s your work, it’s always worth it😌)

Anyway I’m so excited for the next book! I have a feeling this will be the book that will definitely break me☺️ third time’s the charm💀 in the mean time don’t stress yourself too much! Stay hydrated! Relax! I don’t know, book a vacation to the Maldives or something! I’ll be here, waiting for every update and re reading amended for the third time probably💃🏻

🌸

If you're like me, those dark days feel sooooo far in the past... even though they're not LOL. They got back together THREE MONTHS ago basically. I enjoy your comparison to Little Bean's ending. I think each book ending will get warmer and cozier because each book we build a stronger, deeper, more multi-faceted relationship. They're growing, their relationship is growing, and it leads to a more gratifying closeness for all of us. At least I hope so!

I'm so excited to see how people respond! It's part of the reason I want to take this period of time before I just start posting, I need to go through and figure out what adjustments if any I want to make to books 3-5 to pull in actual events that have happened since I wrote these, and I don't want to be doing that on the fly so I can fully enjoy the emotional ride with everyone. We'll get through this together and I think i mentioned before, what I *think* will be the final arc of book 3 is one of my favorites I've written to date.

In the meantime, hopefully I'll have some other member content in that verse coming out (like the Namjoon things) to tide everyone over 🥳 I'd really like to get all the side books started so as I have ideas while I write, I already have a place to put them. I wish I'd done that during LB and Flux, but it'll just have to happen now as I read those.

Anywaayyyyyy thanks for reading and your nice little notes, as always

Me, looking at my lair of already more than 100 dragons: I feel personally attacked...

To the people complaining about the lair cap, staff hasn’t said no outright to expanding the lair limit. They’re exploring ways to sort and organize dragons easier. I’d rather be able to easily organize my lair rather than have another 200 dragons.

Plus how can you feed 200 dragons? How can you dress and level and write lore? How can you get sentimental with 200 dragons!? Do you really need to horde that many dragons? I get wanting more space for fodder but I really can’t believe that someone can have a genuine attachment for hundereds of dragons.
