HIATUS.

If it isn't obvious from the lack of activity ww

Basically put, I need to lock in and finish up some stuff and take some time away from worrying about posting art to focus on my personal life and health. I assure you all that I am well, or improving, but I just would like to put my blogs on a pause for now while focusing on myself more directly.

[bright-and-burning]

hi im eve :) half on hiatus (trying to work on my brain w/o guilt) half off (still chronically online and will post abt it). tags and such are below the cut for ease !

tags

drivers and associated people tagged by first and last initial (i.e. esteban is eo. unfortunately some people have the same initials, so los is logan and las is lance)

pairings tagged by car number, larger number first (i.e. lando/oscar is 8104, george/alex/lando is 632304, etc. pairings involving someone without their own number use initials instead i.e. lando/max f is 04mf)

mine.ww - web weavings i've made

mine.vid - video edits i've made

mine.snip - snippets of fic i'm writing

mine.fill - short fills for prompts that aren't part of a larger wip

mine.primer - deep dives i've done

art - fan art that im obsessed with (all of it)

ww - web weavings that make me Crazy

vid - video edits that make me feel things

fic rec - literally anything i've read that's brought even a modicum of joy

lore - old stuff unknown to me that i like to go back and look at. funny or interesting old facts, cute karting photos, primers, etc

meta - people's meta; sometimes fic/characterization related, sometimes real thoughts about contracts or whatever. but mostly fic/characterization related, tbh

neither created nor invented - my self indulgent hand tag, from a julio ramón ribeyro quote ("...we find only one tool, neither created nor invented, but perfect: the hand of man.")

where might have lived a world - my drivers being cute with kids tag, from the poem reprise by maya c. popa (“you were a child, and i will never have a child with you, that wasted tenderness where might have lived a world.”) except the full poem is kinda sad and that’s not the vibe. i just wanted a pretentious tag abt wanting kids i won’t lie

a whole block of dandelions - my wedding vibes tag, from the poem let’s get married by josé olivarez

follies and nonsense - regency vibes tag, from jane austen's pride and prejudice: "Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can."

queue turn towards meteor showers in august - queue tag! but im including it here because it's from the same poem my url is from (jane hirshfield's the falling) and i love talking about it and how i feel like it fits the f1 vibe. ("You turn towards meteor showers in August, wishing yourself like that: bright and burning wholly out.")

[carrs-universe-writes]

Well what in tarnation-

Um hello 👉👈 funny seeing you guys here...uh...come here often? Still wondering about my silly little writing? Oh haha...yeah...about that...

Crazy how fast time flies when you have time blindness.

So let's get the big stuff out of the way. I am no longer writing Wolfwater, WCA, or M715 as interactive fiction. I am still writing the stories, but no longer as interactive fiction.

No one knows what's happening with dragon smut because it was just a silly little side project so as of right now it's on indefinite hiatus/canceled.

But the other three are still deep in the holes of my brain. These characters mean a lot to me at this point. But I've lost the passion to make them IFs. Not only is it way too much work for my Swiss cheese ADHD brain to stay focused on, writing is also something I can just kinda do mindlessly. But with IF I have to pay WAY closer attention, and that makes it a stressful thing, not a fun, relaxing form of expression.

To put it simply, it's way too much work that I don't want to do.

So where does that leave the stories? Well, as novels.

I've already started rewriting chapter 1 of Wolfwater, and I'll post it in it's entirety here when I'm finished. Some things have been changed, like now Alex is the protagonist. And given Alex obviously isn't interested in a lot of the romance options, one of the subplots will finally be Ezra and Aim kissing all on their own. Big day!

WCA will be split between Casey and Quincy’s POV's mainly, but there will be no serious changes to the plot, other than the fact that...well...you aren't there.

And M715 will be changed so that Zelda is the main protagonist. Again, very little to change in that story, other than shifting who things happen to.

The original playable IF version of WW ch1 will stay up forever if you ever want to reread it. And nothing is being deleted or changed on the patreon, all the original drafts will stay up. But they are not going to be edited again.

I know Wolfwater especially has been in the works for like 4 years, but unfortunately I used all my dopamine up writing Far Cry fanfiction when I was in middle school, so I'm now a very slow writer.

If you've been here a while, get ready for some deja-vu because: I'm leaving my job at the gas station soon and starting basically my dream job driving a truck. Just me and my dog in a truck all day, not a single customer interaction to be had. Hopefully around the end of summer I'll be there full time and can quit the gas station, which will be better for me. (I feel like I've seen this movie before....)

Um I struggle with genuineness but ummmm thank you to those that have stuck around while I was doing absolutely nothing. But I am writing again, I am back, everything is sorta back to normal.

Now stop looking at me 😖

[purrincess-chat]

Glad the LOZ ask didn’t bother you ❤️ if you post any LOZ fics let us know! I’m sure people who love your writing and LOZ would like to read them (I know I’d be one of them, lol)

I personally have a weakness for pre-calamity Zelink because the possibilities? And the angst? Ugh. Another pre-calamity fic I love a lot is “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” by Dayhaven (they write so much Zelink, pretty sure any of their fics is great). It’s a To All the Boys AU where Link and Zelda have to pretend they’re together pre-calamity 👀 not sure if that would be your cup of tea (because of that and because it has smut) but it’s a fun read as well. Anddd I also loved a post TOTK fic by mitsuboo (apricatus) so much but it’s been on hiatus for a long time, it’s basically about Zelink not having gotten together yet even after the events of BOTW and TOTK and still being in the mutually pining stage, but it looks like it might not get finished and I know reading fics on hiatus can be frustrating, so ignore that one 😅

Hope you enjoy the recs if you check them out! ❤️

Not at all, I've been wanting to talk about it for a while, but I don't know anyone in the LoZ fandom and I've also been busy with school, so writing fic for it to break in has been slow going. 😅 I have so many ideas in the AOC timeline for similar reasons! Like the calamity is over, but they're still entrenched in the society that suppressed them prior. The post-botw fic I'm writing has its own challenges but bc basically everyone who cared about high society is dead, Zelda and Link can be a bit more lax and open, so Link talks more and they're more playful and silly at times, and Zelda falls more in love with him as they travel and meet all of his friends and she hears more about his kind deeds from the people he helped while she was sealed away. (Also Purah tags along with them a lot for fun purposes)

But in the AOC timeline post calamity they are still under the watchful eyes of the kingdom and Zelda has more clearcut duties as a princess, so I have a few different ideas. A couple of them involve King Roam being like okay, Calamity is over, and you're a woman now, so you need to settle down so I can pass the throne on. So, he starts inviting nobles to court her, but she's in love with Link. I have one that's more serious where Link enters a competition to win her hand both bc he loves her but more bc she's annoyed with it bc she can make her own choices and he's her friend so he supports her. Another one is more cracky in that there's a competition that he accidentally stumbles into and enters, and he keeps showing up the others on accident mostly. Zelda thinks it's hilarious.

I have another one post-AOC where Zelda is trying to understand her powers and gain better control over them, but Roam doesn't care about them now that the calamity is over, which kind of pisses her off considering how hard he pushed her to unlock them. But that one delves into deeper loz lore, and she has visions of her mom.

I have another one that's a crossover between post-totk Zelink who have faced two crises at this point and are just married and scraping their kingdom back together, and they get sucked into the AOC timeline with all of that crew bc the AOC bunch haven't dealt with the Demon King Ganon chilling under the castle yet. But it's interesting the differences between totk Zelda and Link who are way less suppressed and kind of doing what they want bc they're reestablishing the kingdom and the AOC Zelda and Link who are still stuck in the old ways and more high strung. And also totk zelink seeing all of their friends again.

I also have another ambitious one that is a OG Hyrule Warriors style crossover between a bunch of the mainline games where their worlds are all colliding with the BOTW verse, so you get Links and Zeldas from OOT, SS, TP, WW. And they all have to refight their Ganons. I'm most excited to write the WW duo in that one bc I love the idea of all of the other Zeldas being really proper and then there's Tetra who is literally a pirate 😂

I have so many ideas, and I've been slowly chipping away at my first one. I'm working on the third chapter of it, but that one is gonna be really long. I know exactly where it's going to end bc I literally want it to span the end of botw to just before totk starts and cover a lot of their journey to rebuilding and whatnot prior. I have the outline broken into arcs depending on where they're going and who they're seeing. And because I'm so busy I want to get through a couple arcs before I start posting it so I can avoid long hiatuses 🥲 I've been working on it in my little amounts of spare time.

But those fics sound really fun I am also a sucker for pining, I don't intend to put them together right away in my fic so I can play with that and basically all of their friends can see it but they're both still oblivious. It's the absolute devotion and mutual pining for me. And they're both just so broken and understand each other in unique ways no one else does because of their shared experience. 😍

[selinascatnip]

Hi 👋 @selinascatnip bestie when you have less on your plate and I hope that you will update the next chapter of your awesome 😎 Dickkory fic, wandering worlds soon 🔜 as well as post @ambeautys birthday 🥳 fic soon 🔜 and some titanstober fics. :)

Hi Vanessa, I hope you're doing well.

C's birthday fic is currently in revision phase, first draft already done, and will be published on the 24th.

WW is kinda on hiatus, because my heart isn't in it at the moment, and every single time I forced myself to finish a fic it didn't when I didn't feel like it I ended hating the story.

But I don't ever abandon a fic forever, the Naruto girlies just got the ending of I fic I planned to finish five years ago lmao. I don't think it will be the case for WW because unlike AOH, WW has a script, but the new chapter will come when it is ready, that's all I can say.

I won't say anything for sure about Titanstober, but I don't have anything planned and October has always been VK month to me, I should give my VK girls some love maybe, or even Sailor Moon in general, really, I feel like I'm in debt with a lot of my friends from that fandom.

What I do have planned is to publish another DK for @feaap on December that I haven't started yet, and I plan to give @cyanis-art a hand with the NejiHina Week, because since I'm back here in Ninja Hell, I might as well, and a palate cleansing was long overdue, I've been writing and reading DC fic only since 2018.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Although i will/do write fanfiction from WW - I do not condone the thoughts, actions and words of JKR. I am independant from them; using their works as a source of inspiration / basis.

Majority of my work will be SFW but may focus on more mature topics and/or sexual themes. Works that contain more mature themes will be clearly labeled. I currently do not feel comfortable with writing straight up smut so do not expect this from me as of now.

I am a nursing student, so works may go on hiatus often or have snail pace updates due to my work load, but if need be i will put out a small announcement.

I do not own any of the characters I write about unless I state they are one of my OCs

Tournament Report, 2 League Cups and 2 League Challenges (It's been a minute)

Hey y'all, it's been a minute so I felt it's time to make another tournament report. I've been in a bit of a depression lately and lost motivation to do pretty much anything, so sorry for the long hiatus. In the month or so I haven't posted, I went to two league cups and two league challenges, and I managed to earn championship points in three out of the four tournaments I went to. Here's how they went.

League Cup #1, September 16th, 2023, 8/24 +25 Champ Points

For this cup I played Miraidon ex with Path to the Peak, which was a break from the norm of me playing Lost Box in these types of tournaments. Honestly, I wanted to play Lost Box before tournament, but I just decided on a whim to play this instead. There is no other reason why. With that out of the way, lets get into my matchups.

Round 1: Single Strike Lugia w/ Dunsparce. WW, 1-0

At first glance Single Strike Lugia seems like an auto-win, but good players will always find a way out of that loss. Fortunately for me this round, my opponent just couldn't get set up at all in both of our games, so I took an easy 2-0 victory. Dunsparce was a little scary to see, though.

Round 2: Single Strike Lugia LL 1-1

Round 2, I hit another Single Strike Lugia player, but this time they were able to set up and were also able to minimize the amount of Lugia in play, so I was always taking a bad matchup against either Stonjourner or Tyranitar V. I don't have Zapdos in my list, so my Miraidon could never take a ko onto a Tyranitar, which is a huge boon to my opponent. Game one ended up being really close, but game 2 was a bit of a loss.

Round 3: Miraidon w/ Path mirror, LWL 1-2

In my opinion, the mirror is very unfun to play sometimes, especially if you lose the coin flip and go second. Whoever goes first has the opportunity to straight up win on turn one if they start Miraidon and get Path down on the first turn. There's not much the player going second can do in that situation other than to hope they have a Research in their hand. Unfortunately for me, I lost the coin flip and went second. Not much I can do. At some point I hit 0 Lightning Energy off of 2 Electric Generator and couldn't attack in game 3. Very unlucky game, but I still had a chance to make it into top 8 if I won out.

Round 4: Gardevoir, WW 2-2

In this round I ended up playing against the one Senior division player in the room. TPCI tournaments uses age divisions to try to prevent children from playing with adults, with the youngest division being Juniors (think elementary school), then it's Seniors (think middle school), the it's Masters (think high school and beyond). Since there was only one Seniors division player, they had to play against either the best performing Juniors division player, or the worst performing Masters division player (me in this instance). In our game this round, I ended up winning 2-0, not much else to say other than my opponent wasn't the best. We take those though.

Round 5: Chien Pao Baxcallibur, WLW 3-2

This matchup is heavily favorable for me, so I was very happy that I hit it. My opponent, however, was very disappointed since this was both of our win-and-in round. I did make it a little too close by miss playing quite a bit. During games one and two, I would use Miraidon's Tandem Unit ability to put two Mareep into play, then they would immediately be ko'd by Radiant Greninja. I adjusted in game three by only putting one into play, and I ended up winning pretty convincingly afterword. I was a little nervous of bubbling out at 9th, but I ended up being the 8th seed, guaranteeing my top cup berth and some championship points!

Top 8, Single Strike Lugia (round 2 opponent) LL

I hit the same opponent as round 2 in top 8, and unfortunately my games went a similar way. Game 1 was super close, but I just couldn't close it out. Then, in game 2, I started a Raichu V and Squawkabilly. I used Squawk and Seize, and drew zero playable cards on my first turn, and then another on my second. Unfortunate way to go, but that's the game sometimes. I was just happy to make it to top eight and earn some championship points.

Overall, I had a blast! It felt great being able to do so well with a deck I hadn't had much practice with, so I'd say this tournament was a huge success. In my next post, I'll write about my second league cup I played in this past month, so stay tuned!

~*~

12.  Hi, Mojo! I was wondering if you could help me find this one fic? It’s a one-shot, maybe 4-10K? It features vampire!lwj and vampire!wwx and it’s kind of dark. I think they hide under a glamour of sorts. Um...Xue Yang is featured in there, too. Along with Lxc and jc. Have you heard of it? Thanks. ❤️☺️💞

FOUND! @sssrha​ thinks this one could be The Way You Tremble by themunchking (E, 6k, wangxian)

~*~

13.  I also have a submission for your next Fic Finder post! It is one of the Modern AU, baby A-Yuan gets left with WWX so he and LWJ adopt him and get together in the process type of fics. I distinctly remember a segment where they go to LWJ's apartment for the first time and it's super posh, and WWX enters the hallway to see LXC standing there, meets him for the first time, and realizes that LWJ has told his family NOTHING about his new bf or kid. It is NOT The Simplest Way Forward NOR Take My Hand Take My Whole Life Too, I checked through both of these and this scene doesn't appear in either. Help? @mikkeneko [I’m pretty sure that IS a scene from Simplest Way Forward, though?]

Not FOUND?  I don’t think it’s this one but... Let's Play Pretend and Live Our Lives by Tassos (E, 51k, wangxian, my bookmark)  is a modern au where wwx has A-Yuan (saved from rescue work) and he and lwj play chicken until they’re ACTUALLY married & co-parenting and meanwhile lxc and lqr are clueless.

FOUND?  @artemisisdiana thinks this one might be  your heart, two doors down by ghostsgf (G, 10k, wangxian)

[dojae-huh]

Ten already spoiled the hair color (green) back in September 9th, through which he posted a black and white photo on Instagram, and so it's for sure that his participation in songs were recorded back then. Moreover some people said that when he posted a video of himself diving/dancing in the water, it's a preparation for SMCU or so. He's an important part hence can't be left out. Also if WW joined (as we would love to), it would all be "Why give him so few lines?" and so, better let WW (1/2)

(2/2) plays his role in China as well as to finish his acting period. Also I heard news that WayV will go back to China around spring next year. The worst part is that because of L's scandal WayV may not be able to release their second album, which Kun had mentioned during the SM Conference with LSM (He really did say WayV plans to release the second album THIS YEAR <sorry just to highlight the part this year>)

---------

WayV was scheduled for an album this Autumn actually, and to tour in 2022. But we also were promised a new group and a new unit. It looks like this year we'll only get an announcement for them. There was smth else beside Lucas' scandal that postponed everything, I suspect. For example, NCT's album drops 2 days after MAMA, which probably means no NCT2021 performance. But we'll see about that.

I don't think re-recording Lucas' parts would take a long time, when TY got sick, Sungchan, Jeno, YY and Shotaro (I think these neos, but my memory is fuzzy) took his parts quickly. It's more to do with taking a cooling-off period and focusing on NCT2021, I suppose.

Last and this year many groups lost members, yet the comebacks happened. There is no statement about Lucas' hiatus, so it's still unclear whether WayV will become a 6 member group or not. I know about the NY greeting, but a temporally missing member is not unusual for NCT units.

[measuringlife]

Fresh color after 15 months! . I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I saw how I looked after we finished! . As much as I adapted to life in quarantine and found different pockets of self care, some of my out outward aspects of self care went on permanent hiatus - like coloring my hair, wearing earrings, wearing clothes besides comfy PJs workout gear, or putting on makeup. . I’ve been fully vaccinated for 3 weeks and yesterday I celebrated a friend’s birthday at Top Golf with 30 others then went to a few breweries. It felt like the first day of my new post vaccine life. . I’ve missed dressing up, going out, and reconnecting with acquaintances. It was nice to talk about my ability to really focus on WW journey over the past 14 months, my last 3 months as a WW coach, and all the BodyPump I’ve taught in gyms while wearing a mask or in my basement with all the equipment I’ve collected this year! . I went into quarantine as one person and I’ve re-emerged as someone new and improved. It took yesterday to fully grasp it starting with my hair! . #transformation #haircolor #quarantine #quarantinelife #theafter #selfcare #wwcoach #ww #groupfitnessinstructor #lesmillsbodypump https://www.instagram.com/p/COqXriIBw-h/?igshid=bb4nusr7gnwd

Best Element Week 4: Will they Wed-nesday? II

Here we go, y’all. Last poll results of 2020. 

For purposes of these results, “BE” is short for Best Element, the poll which we just completed. “WTWD” is short for results from the first round of Will they Wed-nesday?, the bracket challenge from this fall.

Also, just a reminder- in Wedding Wednesday, the bracket was seeded chronologically by family, but WTWD was randomly seeded. So don’t be surprised to see some random matchups!

Additionally, I will use the following colors to highlight the winners on each table:

Location

So, interestingly, there’s a tie for first in location in WTWD: Josie & Kelton (vs. Jill & Derick) and Erin & Chad (vs. Josh & Anna) got the exact same number of votes for first overall in WTWD. Only Josie & Kelton placed in BE, where they were second overall. Carlin & Evan are first overall in BE, and second overall in WTWD (vs. Josiah & Lauren). Tori & Bobby are third overall in BE, but they didn’t place in WTWD, where third went to Zach & Whitney (vs. John & Abbie). 

Jessa & Ben’s Thorncrown Chapel engagement is a favorite overall, winning both BE and WTWD (vs. Joe & Kendra). Jinger & Jeremy got second overall, and Josh & Anna got third (ok, I might have caused this with my “vote for them, I dare you” post. Or people are really into Corky Bells. But, 10/10 hilarious meme, I love y’all.) Joy & Austin are second in WTWD (vs. Ethan & Olivia) and John & Abbie are third (vs. Zach & Whitney). 

Jessa & Ben are once again first overall in both BE and WTWD. Carlin & Evan are second in BE, and third in WTWD (vs. Josiah & Lauren). Josie & Kelton are third overall in BE, and tied for second in WTWD (vs. Jill & Derick); they’re tied with Erin & Chad (vs. Josh & Anna). 

Here this is in chart form: 

Personal Touch 

If you need a reminder of the proposal personal touches, click here. 

Carlin & Evan’s first dance is first overall in BE, and third in WTWD (vs. Josiah & Lauren). Zach & Whitney are second in BE, and first in WTWD (vs. John & Abbie). Erin & Chad were third in BE and second in WTWD (vs. Josh & Anna). 

Jill & Derick were first overall in BE, and third in WTWD (vs. Josie & Kelton). Josiah & Lauren were second in BE, but did not place in WTWD. Jinger & Jeremy were third in BE, and first overall in WTWD (vs. Tori & Bobby). Jessa & Ben, who were last place in BE, were second in WTWD (vs. Joe & Kendra). 

Carlin & Evan are first overall in BE, despite not placinging in WTWD. Ethan & Olivia are second in BE, and third in WTWD (vs. Joy & Austin).  Zach & Whitney were third in BE, and first overall in WTWD (vs. John & Abbie).  Erin & Chad are second in WTWD (vs. Josh & Anna) despite not placing in BE. 

Here’s that info in chart form: 

Takeaways

Overall, I am surprised how closely the WW/WTWD results tracked with the BE results. When they didn’t, that person was almost certainly competing against a fan least favorite, like Josh & Anna.  But on the whole, the WW/WTWD polls were a better metric than I thought they were! 

What’s Next? 

I mentioned before that due to the bar exam, there will be a short-term poll hiatus until March 2021. If you’d like to suggest poll topics between now and then, here’s your link.  [Quick note: the long term guessing polls, found here, won’t be impacted by the hiatus.] But there’s one final piece of these polls, the first of which will go live in half an hour, the second of which will go live in 45 minutes: 

ask and ye shall receive :)
