*glances at svsss' vol 4 worth of extras, aka 'the whump and smut pile'* you haven't seen anything yet

You guys are seriously taking an axe to my self-control;;; I'm trying to make this series last longer than a single month!! I'm trying to savour things!!! I'm trying to read something else and give the series a bit of breathing room before I pick up the last book but I want the "whump and smut pile" I want that so much I feel like a dog that's getting a treat waved in front of its face .·´¯`(；´д｀)´¯`·.

I'm like 21 chapters into Siege and Storm and as much as I enjoy the story and most characters I want to rip my hair out every time I have to read Alina and Mal interacting. I never liked him in the show tho I went into the book open minded and couldn't stand him in book one either but I was like "hey maybe hell have some growth" but no he is like the only characters who stays the fucking same. and it's not even like oh he is a good written character and doesn't need to change much because he definitely isn't. and the fact I spoiled myself that him and Alina will end up together makes it even more infuriating be cause just... WHY. it's not even that he is a flawed character he is just a straight up asshole and especially towards Alina. I so much more prefer her and Nikolai even they at least have some chemistry and he is a good example of a flawed character. anyway idk if I do even have hope he'll change because I don't know what Mal would have to do for me to be able to see them as a good couple. ugh.

Did Richard Papen really compare him dreaming of Henry Winter to Achilles dreaming of Patroklos or am I tripping?

HI I think I sent an ask a while back about having recently found TaTA and a) if it came off as trying to rush/guilt you. I am so sorry because that was NOT my intent, and b) I can hugely guarantee you have at least one person who will eat up any return, no matter when it happens, because I care about the guys so much 🥺 really looking forward to whatever comes next!!

Oh, I appreciate this a lot thank you!

Tbh it's a stress I would have regardless of anyone asking me about it, I'm probably the biggest one rushing and guilting myself on it. Which might contribute to some of the burnout I had...

My complaints are more about people who are demanding "more content daddy" or asking me if I'm dead or asking on every single post I make where it is... Wondering when it's coming back is completely reasonable, it's been a long time! but there's definitely a line haha

my editor also keeps randomly scheduling me and then saying "oh, btw you're scheduled to return in 3 weeks. Is that alright?" And I have to keep saying no, that's not alright??? And then dealing with that process...

I could write an essay about all the reasons it's not back yet, but that doesn't help me feel any less pressured, and it doesn't help you all get the rest of the comic any faster...

As of right now I'm scheduled to and trying to return october 21. No official announcement yet cause I have to do a lot of work in that time, but it's my official goal at least. When we get closer I'll be able to say for sure whether it's coming back on that date!

As I continue to plow through and adore Little Mushroom I'm trying to figure out how to sell it to other people to convince them to read it and it's like

(there are spoilers for the first half of book 1 in the below)

So it's a danmei book about a sentient mushroom whose self-budded vaguely mpreg offspring has been stolen. Yes, a literal (mutated) mushroom. No, mushrooms don't have gender but the mushroom uses he/him pronouns and I trust people (and mushrooms) when they tell me their genders so I guess this mushroom has a gender.

And it's about the state-sanctioned mass murderer whose path keeps crossing with his.

All of mankind has been locked into two small cities to protect them from radiation and the monsters formed by radiation. Yes, it's exactly as dystopian and awful as you'd expect. Insert every dystopia trigger warning here. See also: half the main ship is a state-sanctioned mass murderer.

As of about 200 pages in, every named character aside from the mushroom and the mass-murderer has died.

It's really clear the state-sanctioned mass murderer is falling in love with the mushroom. No, he doesn't know he's a mushroom. As for the mushroom's feelings...he's mostly vaguely confused and annoyed and intrigued.

The mushroom isn't wrong. Humans make no sense.

Look the mushroom just wants his spore back okay? GIVE AN ZHE BACK HIS SPORE.

It's amazing okay. It's amazing.

Read Little Mushroom. I mean it.

[thatvampireenthusiast]

the proclamation plotline is great bc you get to slowly see jaania descend further and further into what one might argue are some Very Bad Decisions and perhaps also Madness
