Writing Update

Hello my loves! So life has been crazy lately… I’ve been working my ass off with my job picking up overtime when I can. So I haven’t really been writing lately. Dawn of Love might be put on pause. I just haven’t really been having the creative mind I want for it lately. I have it outlined with how I want this series to go. But my creative mind when it comes to it hasn’t been the strongest and I want to give that series my all!

And lately I’ve been focusing on trying to pump out The GVF guys as Bad Omens songs for a while. The Jake one is about halfway done where the rest are just started. And then I have an ask that an anonymous sent that I am working on as well! I do apologize to all those that are fans of Dawn of Love, I just want to give you my best work and not something that is thrown together last minute.

I put a lot of dedication and time into my work, and don’t want to disappoint you guys. So please understand where i’m coming from :(

Just be patient with me as I get through this little bump in the road❤️

I love you all very much, and am so excited to share all of these beautiful fics with you.🫶🏻

Just out of curiosity, are you continuing the gakuen game translation or did you delay it? I hope this doesnt sound rude lol

Ah, not rude at all! No worries!

So, short answer - I do still want to get it done, and intend to, but am uncertain when it'll be.

Long answer - While I was working on it, I had a huge hyperfixation on Hetalia that kept me going at it. For the past near year, a different hyperfixation and a bunch of projects to go along with it have kept me busy. Between that, a job with super erratic hours, and my unmedicated ADHD making it hard to focus on stuff outside my immediate interest, it's been hard to get myself back to work on it. I do still like Hetalia and working on this - that's not the issue - it's just trying to juggle a buuunch of priorities that's getting in my way.

But I do promise I want to get it finished! It's honestly about 90% done already. I just need to get myself to sit down and finish it. And I can't promise when that'll happen.

I genuinely apologize, I'm sure that's a frustrating answer. <:\

Wikipedia page (it says it lacks citations, though) :

They are described as jungle monkeys with bird-like feathered wings. 

Book descriptions :

1) There was a swift rushing of many feathered wings, yet not of bird. 

2) she was surrounded by a large crowd of wild monkeys, each with a pair of immense and powerful wings on his shoulders

I won't pronounce myself, personally

Ah so it appears more to be just typical wings then. I deeply apologize, I can only go off what I see for things I am unfamiliar with

You cant make this shit up

[remxedmoon]

your friends don’t know what to do.

so!! i redrew every single enemy in the game. in the span of like 9 days (excluding the king i made him right after the last update). that’s abbbout 79* drawings total, with only 3 custom ones for once!! i’m so normal. as always, these are free to use with credit!! go nuts!! spritesheets are included <3

got some notes under the cut, along with As Many Enemies As I Could Fit without making this post obnoxiously long. and i failed. i had to swap between the app and browser several times and i still couldn’t fit every drawing. open this post at your own risk (silly).

okay so first of all. what’s with the asterisk. well. I Drew A Lot More Than 79 Assets Actually. they’re getting posted separately, because this post is ABSURDLY long. you can find most of them in the miscellaneous folder, but for a bit of clarity, i added the teleport map and a bunch of ui elements that reference sprites from the icon sheet. and also the game over and loop back animations but i haven’t finished the spritesheets for those because they’re a pain in the ass so they’re not in the drive yet

if you missed my complaining a few days ago, a few enemies might look a bit crunchy in the actual game? specifically, calamité and désespoir were drawn at the wrong size, because their images in the files do not match the spritesheets! i avoided the issue with most of the other enemies, those two just blindsided me. sorry about that!

^sadnesses having inconsistent designs was actually a running theme with these. détresse rock has an unused design in the files (which i managed to catch before having to redo it thankfully), anxiété has extra spikes that don’t appear on the spritesheet (sorry i was too lazy to fix that one), even the version of the friend rescue in the files doesn’t match any of the frames in the spritesheet. hfjfhfj. sorry about the quality issues.

tangentially related to that, massive thank you to @riggedbones for grabbing the individual frames for the animations for me!! they made my life so much easier. vs friends would’ve been so annoying…

speaking of the animations! hi can you tell i’m not an animator. these were my first time doing Anything animation related since, like, middle school. super sorry for the Jank in some of these! the friend rescue looked way better when i drew it 💔💔.

bourdon’s hands also might act a bit odd, my apologies. the sizing ingame is SUPER inconsistent (why is one of the hands SMALLER than the other????). once i’m able to actually test the mod, i’ll try to fix it wauaua.

the 3 custom sprites are for the triplets! i ended up making two versions for each, one that follows the ingame art, and one with my personal designs for them. i like my own designs for them, but they’re a lot easier to tell apart? so if you want to use the ones that fit the gimmick better, they’re also in the drive 👍

this update. was originally going to have way more custom art. i’ve actually got an act 6 siffrin enemy asset in my art program! but school started and i decided it’d be better to just get the normal stuff done. so the mod can actually come out in a reasonable timeframe. promise that’ll all come out Later! sorry about the wait 😓😓😓

also adding this because i almost forgot: no i don’t know if these are compatible with sasasaap. i don’t have the game still and it’s not my main priority atm, apologies!

okay! that was a lot! and there’s a ton of art down here! thank you for reading all this, i’ll be back with the game over animations and teleport map pretty soon! like. within the weekend. enjoy!!!

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

One thing for those who have watched The Boy and The Heron or will watch it. The Japanese title for it is How Do You Live? And Miyazaki stated he was leaving it for his grandson, saying, "Grandpa is moving onto the next world soon but he is leaving behind this film".

The deaths of contemporaries and friends such as Satoshi Kon and Isao Takahata and also the expected successor of Yoshifumi Kondo were things that have always weighed heavily on the back of Miyazaki's mind.

He recognizes the industry and the occupation for how soul crushing it was, grinding up either the spirit or the physical body of those who work in it. He loves and hates the industry he stands on the peak of and fully recognizes how it will probably be the death of him. And he knows it'll leave him unable to say a lot of things to his Grandson.

So How Do You Live? is a lesson. For his grandson. For himself. For his two sons. And probably for anyone else willing to pay attention.

Hayao Miyazaki is a flawed man that makes things so important to so many people. And I think more than any other film of his, in this you get to pull back the curtain a bit and see him at work. And what should be this giant unblemished titan can be seen for what he is, a sad old man who had higher hopes for himself and has even higher hopes for the people he makes his work for.

It's a beautiful thing to see another's humanity in their work. To look past the artifice and glam of commercialized art and find humans behind it. And humans willing to show their humanity and mortality is even rarer. And something to be celebrated. So when you watch it. Or if you've watched it already. Understand that this film is Miyazaki kneeling down, weary after years of weaving dreams and making mistakes, reaching out and saying to you that he hopes you can do better. It's an old man who's made all the mistakes of the world passing it on to you, hoping you do better, and making sure you know it's okay if you don't.

How do you Live? By making mistakes. By messing up. But still moving forward. And still reaching out.

Messing up while trying to learn healthier coping skills or communication skills doesn't mean your progress ceases to exist.

If you lashed out at someone during an argument instead of using your coping skills, it's okay to forgive yourself. If you reacted based on your emotional urge instead of looking at the situation, that's okay. It happens.

No one is perfect all the time. I think we expect so much more of ourselves. In my case, because I felt so ashamed of who I used to be. It makes me feel extra pressure to "do better". But the reality is, people who aren't in recovery mess up too. And sometimes they may not even notice it.

You don't need to beat yourself up about it. In fact, beating yourself up about it doesn't really help anyone. You can learn from it. Was there something going on that made it harder to use your coping skills? Was there a certain trigger? Maybe a bad day? Take your new knowledge and move forward.

Your progress still very much exists. I promise.

..having to relearn that.. someone having a mental illness doesn’t automatically make them a danger to themselves is.. really hard.

i feel bad for being unable to trust you, i always feel horrible for it but i mean, i cant help but be scared. especially considering thats all ive experienced for the past 4 years.
