Ruin: I’m sure you know it but I sincerely want you to go to therapy. And I will beg you to go as your friend.

Solar: I think Sun is asking for help, hold on.

Hello, Tumblr. I have an announcement.

My parents have this thing called detox, where we stay off electronics for 7 days in the beginning of the month. Now that it's getting nicer out, it is restarting.

Days I will not be online:

April - 1st to 14th

May - 1st to 7th

June - all month

July - all month

August - 1st to 21st (school starting up frees me from the agony)

September - 1st to 7th

October - 1st to 7th

November - 1st to 7th

December - 1st to 7th

My mom also said that I couldn't pull my attorney act (aka use evidence that if we all agree on one thing to watch we can watch it) at all. So that rules out me using the web browser on the TV.

Therefore, posts on those dates will be queued, including the one where it is my one year anniversary on Tumblr (August 15th).

The only exception is when I'm having a sleepover at @murder-drones-3' house. They are my real life best friend, and we play video games together all the time. The reason I even got Tumblr was because I saw a post on Pinterest talking about it.

I will miss you guys. The summer is long. Not to mention that if each day is 31 days, then that means 62 days free of electronics. I do not know if I can handle that.

@multifandomcutie13 @weirdcoregal35 @f1zzyst4r @ze-slaughtermod

Would you guys mind spreading this news?

Yooooooooo, I’ve finally finished queuing up Round 2… well, kind of.

It’s taken me all month to queue up Arthropoda and Chordata. Mollusca and Round 2.5 (the redemption round for Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Tardigrada, and Ctenophora) have yet to receive their captions, which takes a lot more time than you’d think.

So, on November 1st, we will start with Arthropoda, and instead of having polls every 12 hours, they will be every 24 hours. Probably at 8am USA Eastern Standard Time. This should give me enough time to get the captions for Mollusca and the rest finished, though I will likely need a short break in between. After which, I may go back to having polls every 12 hours. We’ll see how things go. 🙃

As a side note and shameless self-promo, I’m also gearing up for this year’s Archovember. That is also taking up a considerable chunk of my free time. Archovember is an annual paleoart drawing challenge that I’ve been hosting every November since 2019. It focuses on dinosaurs, pterosaurs, pseudosuchians, and other archosauromorphs, giving less popular or lesser known species a chance to shine and get drawn. Paleoartists from beginners to professionals have joined in the past, and even if you don’t draw along it’s also fun to just learn about a new prehistoric reptile every day! It’s usually not that big on Tumblr tbh (oddly enough) but gets a lot of traction on Instagram. You can check it out on my paleo account here on Tumblr @saritapaleo, or on Instagram under the same username (you’re also likely to see a lot more people participating on Instagram.)

Anyway, shameless self promo aside, this is also a heads up that my attention will be divided between these two events in November, and I’m likely to prioritize Archovember. 🫠 I’ll still be here to answer asks and share propaganda, but everything will be a little more automated and I might not be as quick to respond!

Oh and on that note, I’m very sorry if you’ve sent an ask and I haven’t answered it. I wanted to save asks and spread them out over time but apparently Tumblr is eating them. At this moment it is telling me I have 6 asks in my inbox, but when I click on it it says “no message found.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All that aside, I am looking forward to seeing how Round 2 goes, even if it will happen a bit slower. Stick around as we further narrow in on Tumblr’s favorite animal!

Nivannedy Week: Day One

I am queuing this on November 30th, because I'm driving home from visiting the family and will be grateful to be conscious when I arrive home on December 1st. lol I have a couple prompts done but not all, so here's hoping I can post the rest of them this week!

DAY 1: sacrifice | underwater facility

In the After

Leon Kennedy knew Piers Nivans before everything went to hell, but he didn’t really know him despite Claire’s repeated urgings to just meet the man for a cup of coffee. Leon knew Piers as a good soldier, Chris’s second, and as the man who once spit out his coffee the first time he heard Leon make a bad pun.

Afterwards… Afterwards was a different world, broken into shining, fragile, bloody fragments of glass. 

It was Chris, afterwards, who shared the details Piers would -- could -- not. How Piers had been the one to save Chris from himself and drag him out of the mire. How Piers had been the one who refused to give up on the mission. Chris admitted that he lost sight of their objective, but not Piers. “Kinda like you,” Chris said wryly. 

Leon didn’t bother telling him that Claire had said that to him in the great, vast before. “He’s stubborn,” Claire had said. “Goal-oriented. He looks at the future and sees something bright, sees a world worth saving.” She raised an eyebrow at Leon. “Kinda like someone else I know.”

Claire didn’t get a chance to tell Leon all this after. She was too busy helping clean up the mess left behind in Tatchi.

Chris brought up Tatchi once. Only once. “We thought you were dead.”

Afterwards, Leon discovered multiple things which Piers had never shared before. Piers claimed he liked his coffee black, but that didn’t stop him from putting sweet syrups in it when given half a chance. He liked cats but loved dogs. Even in war zones when there was a good chance of a dog transforming and tearing someone to pieces, Piers would stop and pet the dogs. He had a family waiting for him in the States: a rarity in their field. Apparently him spitting out his coffee was an unusual event and hard to mimic. Chris caught him singing in the shower at BSAA once, but Piers denied it to hell and back. 

All of these things went through Leon’s head as he stared at the empty casket being lowered into the ground. Most caskets in their field were either empty or filled with the person’s ashes. Piers Nivans was no different despite the screaming in Leon’s heart.

He sacrificed himself, Chris had said. In the Underwater Facility.

The place Leon had sent him to.

Claire had told him before that she thought they would be a good couple, and after Chris had agreed. Leon knew better. Leon’s touch meant death, as this funeral and the president’s funeral showed so clearly.

He threw a white lily into the empty coffin -- a private favorite of Piers’s, Chris had said -- and watched with dry eyes as dirt covered that, too.

Day 9 — Christmas Ambiance

Word Count || Around 900

Contents & Warnings || Fluff, very mild Angst — no warnings.

Advent Calendar 2023

During the holiday season, Christmas songs held a deep significance, not only for you and Bucky but for people all around the globe. Without iconic songs such as “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Mistletoe,” “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” “Feliz Navidad,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” and “Last Christmas,” the festive spirit would be boring and bleak, making the season dull and joyless.

You and Bucky refrained from listening to any songs before December 1st. But, the preparation for your annual Christmas playlist started weeks in advance. All the iconic songs made the list, as well as spicing it up with new releases.

On November 30th, a few minutes before midnight, you and Bucky found yourselves nestled on the sofa, each engrossed in a book. Your eyes occasionally darted to the clock, anticipation building for the stroke of midnight, signaling the start of the holiday month.

With your phone synced to the Bluetooth speakers, playlist queued up, and finger hovering over the play button, the moment arrived. The clock chimed midnight, and you pressed play.

The opening jingle of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” resonated throughout the living room, and, unable to resist, you started singing along, your voice blending with hers.

“Come on, Bucky! It’s time,” you urged, pointing at him to join.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas.”

“There is just one thing I need.”

Bucky closed his book, meeting your gaze with a smile that spoke of his affection. As the song continued, he joined the serenade.

“Make my wish come true.”

“All I want for Christmas is you.”

Bucky cupped your face, pressing his lips to yours, firm and determined, sealing the song's sentiment with a kiss.

“It’s true, doll. All I want for Christmas is you. Only you.”

Cliche yet heartwarming, his words elicited a giggle from you as you exchanged kisses.

You and he danced and spun across the living room as the song continued, singing your hearts out to the classic tune. In between verses, Bucky took the opportunity to steal affectionate kisses and tender touches, adding a touch of passion to your laughter and joy, making the experience memorable.

Throughout December, Christmas songs became the soundtrack of your days. During car rides, you would sing your voices hoarse with upbeat Christmas tunes. In comparison, playful days had you and Bucky twirling and laughing to the classic songs in your living room.

Amidst the joyful chaos, your favorite times were the quiet evenings of Christmas ambiance, when the two of you engaged in a slow dance guided by the timeless melodies of Bucky’s beloved 1940s Christmas songs.

Bucky placed the cherished 40s classics onto the turntable. The classic holiday tune, “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin, began to play, casting a warm, sepia-toned ambiance across the living room. The aged melody conveyed nostalgia that enveloped the dimly lit space. As the needle delicately traced the record’s grooves, a soft hiss accompanied the music, adding to its charm.

“Dance with me, doll,” Bucky invited with a boyish smile. Pulling you into his arms, he planted a tender kiss on your forehead. You hummed in contentment as you placed a hand in his and the other on his shoulder. Bucky’s free hand found its place on the small of your back, drawing you into a gentle yet firm embrace.

“I would love nothing more,” you giggled, allowing him to lead.

Your bodies melded together seamlessly, like two pieces of a perfect puzzle. Your head found a comfortable spot on his chest, near his heart, while his chin rested atop your head, creating a cocoon of protection and closeness. The dance was slow and deliberate, synchronizing with the tempo of the music. His movements were smooth and practiced—a testimony to his bygone era.

Bucky’s focus extended beyond the dance itself; it lingered on you. Amidst the nostalgic atmosphere, he showered you with whispers of sweet nothings, tender kisses on your forehead, and soft touches on your back—deepening the dance and connection.

As you and he immerse yourselves in the music and each other, your thoughts wander to a younger Bucky—charismatic and a true ladies’ man in the 1940s. A hint of jealousy flickered as you envisioned him gracefully dancing and wooing women with his youthful charm. However, these moments were part of the tapestry of his life, contributing to the person he is today. So you embraced those memories with a bittersweet taste, understanding and cherishing them.

Meeting Bucky’s gaze, it’s as if he could read the currents of your thoughts. His smile radiates warmth, his eyes reflecting adoration—a silent reassurance and affirmation that your love is unique, different from anything that came before.

“You’re everything to me, doll. You’re it. You know that,” he murmured, gently pinching your chin and caressing your lips with his. “You’re the love of my life. My one true love.”

“I know, Bucky. I love you—past, present, and future. All your stories, all your scars, you. You’re my one.”

Bucky’s charm shines through as he gracefully twirls you around, eliciting a cheerful giggle as you spin in his embrace.

As the song comes to an end, Bucky delicately dips you, sealing the intimate moment with a passionate kiss. With a smile, he brings you upright, cradling you in his arms, the steady beat of his heart syncing with your own.

You continue to dance the night away, celebrating your journey and cherishing your shared and personal scars and stories. The ambiance of Christmas songs envelops your home, creating a backdrop for your celebration.

Feedback through a comment is highly appreciated! Or let me know through an anonymous ask if that feels more comfortable. As well as a reblog to share my work with other people!

🪶October/November Housekeeping

Hello to my lovely flock!

First of all, I'd love to thank everyone for supporting me thus far. We're almost exactly 10 months out from the first post on this blog. It's my first time serializing a comic, and I've definitely learned a lot, and struggled a lot, too. No doubt I've been deeply unprofessional through much of it due to my inexperience. I'd really like to keep my supporters more in the loop about what I'm working on, so I've decided to write monthly housekeeping posts to update everyone about the roadmap of what I'm planning to do. This time I'm combining the October and November notes, since we're already so close to the end of October.

Updates on CHORUS serialization

At the time of writing, I've just posted the last page of ACT 2 for Ko-Fi supporters. There will be a weeklong break before ACT 3 starts serializing on November 5th, 2024. For our regular readers, ACT 2's final page will be posted on November 1st, and ACT 3 will begin on November 12th after a similar weeklong break.

Additionally, I've been quite sloppy about keeping links between posts updated, and I've concluded that it's because I can't link posts which are still in queue. Starting with ACT 3, I will continue to update the comic on Tuesdays and Fridays, but the timing will be "whenever I get a chance to update it during that day in my time zone", instead of queuing it for a specific time. This way, I can immediately update all links to the post. I will also be self-reblogging new pages more frequently.

Ko-Fi Membership Updates

I've been sporadically updating the Tenor tier with character design and other miscellaneous scans, but I've only worked through about half of my backlog. It takes a bit of time to edit and annotate the images, and I hope to get the rest of this batch uploaded before the end of November. Additionally, there's a rejected ACT 3 title page that I also plan on finishing and posting to the Tenor tier. However, considering my workload elsewhere (trying to finish the Christmas Kaishin bundle, zines, etc.), I find it unlikely to complete this before November. December is certainly a more conservative estimate.

Closing Notes

There are a great many other things that are floating around in my brain (switching from digital to traditional illustration in ACT 4, possible hiatus after ACT 4, new Soprano tier with merch rewards after hiatus), but these are all so far away it and up in the air that I feel it's more appropriate to announce those later down along the line, so I'll be calling this post here.

Once again, thank you all so much for the support, and I hope you'll stay with me on this journey.

Love, Soh Arsquare Oct. 25, 2024

[qu1cks1lversb1tch]

So there was this thing I got the idea for this year, but as I've been super stressy and procrastinate-y, it's not happening this year. It's the 15th of November. I'm writing day three. I wanted it all done by December 1st so I could just have them queued up to post every morning and not worry

But now, I'm giving myself a year. . . So long as I remember. I wasn't joking when I said I had a kinda big project planned out

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Moon: Sure I could admit I was wrong but why would I give you that gratification?

Sun: Shut up and just say you lost the damn bet and fork over my 50 bucks.

[typingwithmyhandstied]

Funny story, I now have flf incorrect quotes queued until November 1st. I have never used a queue before, so this should be fun. I mean I'll probably end up posting other random ones that I'm excited about tho---

[nerdgatehobbit]

So, has anyone else been having this issue with their queued posts lately? This has been happening semi-regularly for a bit and I don’t understand why.

Also, when I did the most recent app update it now largely won’t let me re-schedule queued posts, telling me to do it on my computer instead. Which is weird & new; was that on purpose (why though?) or is it a bug that slipped through in the current update?

Anyway, while I’m here! 10/21/24

I’m still greatly enjoying Leverage and I liked seeing Richard Kind in the last The Librarians episode I saw. Recently I read The Con Job, which has a few hiccups mostly relating to being set in early 2010s geek culture, although there is a moment where Hardison acknowledges the amount of whiteness present. Interestingly, a notable part of the book’s premise is that Nate is giving Hardison opportunities to step up as the mastermind, with one at San Diego Comic-Con being perfect for that purpose, whereas I have gathered the actual shows make Parker the next leader. It’s unclear if the author wasn’t read in on that, was oblivious to that (whether due to preferring Hardison or due to sexism), or if there’s an aspect of Hardison wanting to be mastermind before shifting gears that’ll pop up in the later seasons that I haven’t seen yet. Cha0s appears and Wil Wheaton is mentioned, but the fourth wall is maintained. Overall, it was a decent read but not especially memorable. Up next is either The Librarians And The Mother Goose Chase or The Book of Earth. Which is the 1st book in The Dragon Quartet, not an ATLA novelization.

Speaking of Wheaton, I have reached some of his voice work on Star Trek Prodigy. It’s definitely interesting to see a grown Wesley being the caretaker of the timeline, what with his character’s origins as a partial (?) expy for Roddenberry on a Doylist level.

Last week I obtained Hallmark’s Sense & Sensibility as well as The Slipper & the Rose. Yes, I’ve been reblogging posts on the former without seeing it; in my defense, I ordered it as soon as I found out it had been released on DVD.

This is mostly why I’ve been ‘eh okay’ about the queue not letting itself be modified on the app. I want to take screenshots & make posts on these movies. That needs to happen on my laptop, not the app (unlike this one). Hopefully I’ll ease back into doing posts for tv shows. Like Star Trek DS9, for example.

There are probably going to be just one or two posts about “Replay” before I move onto Static Shock’s 1st season finale.

I’m still behind on TROP, but I do want to catch up so I can justify reblogging the great posts I’ve seen from later in the season. Hopefully one of the changes will be Tar Miriel surviving. She could end up like BBC Merlin’s Queen Guinevere, ruling alone at the end, given Elendil’s predetermined fate as the LOTR books are the canon used by the show. Huh, there’s a thought: will the final season end on Isildur’s death or will there be episodes showing what happened afterwards? Or will TROP also get cut short? I hope not, but the recent cancellations mean it’s definitely a risk. :/

Uh, I want to end on a happier note than that. Let’s see. I’m probably going to keep the current daily posts through November, but I’ll probably do BATB (1991 & 2022) posts in December again, replacing either The Librarians or TROP. Leverage & BBC Merlin’s Gwen/Queen Guinevere will likely switch over to being in the mornings for 2025. Star Trek DS9 might slow down or not, depending on if I resume my re-watch. This might change as I actually approach 2025, but this is my plan at the moment.

[honey-and-sims]

I am strongly believe that we need a Lawrence lookbook. Unfortunately, men are often forgotten(

I can certainly do that :)

I think the 24th of November & the 1st of December already have some "extras" queued but I'll start working on his lookbook soon.

I appreciate these suggestions for some 'extras' though since (spoiler!) starting next week Thursday, The Baudelaire's will be going through some somber times.

[wardrobeoftime]

Good to have you back! My dash and I have been missing you!

Awww thank you. Yesterday was mostly a test run but I will be back either next Monday or November 1st. Depends a bit on what the plans for the weekend will be and how much I can actually work on my queue in the next few days.

EDIT: I decided on next Monday because I only really work well under pressure (definitely something I need to address one day). I already queued a few posts, so I hope this will keep me going.

I did it! Caught up on messages and notifications (I hope?? If I missed anything, do poke me).

Also went through the Abdirak tags and queued everything that I missed so I don't spam everyone haha.

ANYWAY writing so far has been going well! Over 13k words written since November 1st and just finished a rough draft of chapter 32! As I say, nothing will be getting posted until some time in December as I am doing no editing, it's all write write write until the end of November. After that though, it should hopefully be fairly consistent chapters for a while! Wheee!
