I managed to leave for a while and now there's 7 Dazai and Chuuya? What?

[ask-omori-ageswap]

hiiiiiii long time no see :3c

So! What happened here?

Towards the start of the hiatus - I'd sayyy around Sunny's Birthday Arc? - I was in a pretty iffy headspace, generally. I was getting burnt out with life in general TBH, which might've been pretty easy to see what with how updates slowed during that time, though I still tried to keep up and continue the story. (That was why I brought on Mod Sock, if I remember - she's such a sweetheart and offered to help <333 ily sock /p)

However! On March 28, 2023, my father died. It was sudden andddddd a LOT of my life was up-heaved due to this. He was me and my brothers' main guardian, so there was a lot going on what with who would be taking care of us, where we'd be living, etc etc. Plus, that was only, like, two months before I graduated high school? Lol. So there was also the stress of trying to do THAT as well.

That was the main cause for the hiatus. I honestly just couldn't really balance my mental state, my family situation, AND the responsibility of this comic on top of that - this is just supposed to be a fun thing for me, yknow?? So, I put it on hiatus. I... wasn't really expecting to ever take it off hiatus. I mean, after all those months? After I've gone and started college?? This blog started the summer before my junior year of high school. That's, like, a WHILE.

But then the first chapter of the official OMORI manga came out and it fucking sucked and pissed me off aghalkdhg;ksdhgalshk

That's happening now, I guess. After some light and affectionate prodding (encouragement) from friends I am... tentatively rolling back the hiatus. TENTATIVELY!!!

If it gets too stressful again I've got no problem dropping it again, but I think that now, with a bit more experience and maturity, I should be better at the whole time management and prioritization thing. We'll see how it goes, though. (BTW if there's a notable difference in how updates from here on out looks, it's because I don't use MediBang as a program anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry lol)

So... next up, I guess, is I'm gonna finish up this bit about BOSS, and then characters will be open to answer asks again!

Thank you guys for all your support, both old and continued <3 Let's see if I can't finish this story before I graduate college now LOL

Welt (and Ratio’s) Disappointment Was Immeasurable And His Day Was Ruined

[beloved-blaiddyd]

Dear Brynlee, Oh, it is quite a pleasure to be writing letters again. It's been far too long for me. Anyway, surely you've heard of that one Intelligentsia Guild member--Dr. Ratio, I believe? A fine fellow indeed. A bit self-centered, but good intentions. What marvelous goal it is to rid the universe of stupidity. I can only imagine Dr. Ratio with an innocent, or rather idiotic, beloved. Or perhaps someone who charges at every enemy with no regrets. I can see him becoming obsessed with curing that problem of theirs, no matter what. Even if it means the poor thing is subject to more than a few acts which could only be described as sadistic. Alas, love is love, even if it's torturous, and who are we to judge? Anyone would go to impossible lengths for those they hold dear. Now I'm ranting on, so I'll cut myself short. I will look forward to our future interactions, Ms. Brynlee. Regards, The Gossipmonger

Dear "The Gossipmonger",

Intelligentsia Guild? I'm afraid I do not know much about them. Perhaps you have mistaken me for an "expy" as my otherworldly acquaintances would call it. I'm from Fodlan, born and raised in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.

However, the name Ratio does seem familiar. I have a professor colleague with the same name, so I would propose a theory that you are referring to his alternate self. After all, the Veritas I know is a professor. Not a "doctor".

Still, the thought of seeing him as an obsessive man does spark a few giggles out of my lips. Here's a sketch. May you find the thought exercise as hilarious as I have. I'd appreciate if you do not tell him about this.

Be seeing you, Gossipmonger,

Beloved <3

@k3ytoheart sent: 🌺 send this to ten blogs you think are wonderful 🌺 @cursedfortune sent: 🌺 send this to ten blogs you think are wonderful 🌺 @tailoringtay sent: wishing you all the best! @experimentalfma sent: Best of luck with everything! @calamitysshatteredson sent: ((Take your time and take care of yourself!)) @dragontamer05 sent: take care ^.^ do what ever is best - happy to see you around tho @lady-quen sent: Always happy when you are around, but remember that this is just for fun and should not be a source of anxiety! Irl comes first. Take care of yourself. None of us are gonna get angry or disappointed at you for not being here as much. (And if someone does they need to reevaluate their approach fr)

just fyi i want y'all to know that appreciate every single one of you and all the messages i regularly receive---i'm just so sorry it takes forever to get to them (and like... every other message and draft and ask haafkjgsldf)---but just know that writing is 1000% one of my foremost passions, and i could never foresee myself disappearing forever so.. yknow..... y'all gonna have to continue putting up with me B)
