I made a small mention of this on Twitter but I am letting my hand rest for a couple days.

This past April I had considerable pains in my dominant hand, and later found out I have a cyst on the tendon of one of my fingers. Orthopedist couldn’t do much at the time, and I was going to college soon after that so I wasn’t able to do a follow up appointment yet. (The next step after that might be surgery but that’s for another time) The pain subsided for awhile but in the past 5-6 weeks the pain has come back and with finals it’s only exasperated the pain/exhausted my hand.

Doesn’t mean I can’t still draw though! I just wanted to make note that I may not be able to create much outside of my classes again if the pain persists. Hoping it does calm down a bit bc I have so many art ideas in my head I feel like I’m going feral.

So in short I just have to monitor my hand and make sure I don’t overuse it to the point of searing pain lol. Some things may take longer for me to draw now but by the gods I will finish what I started. I thought I’d give a somewhat thorough explanation since it seems a lot of my followers here on tumblr aren’t people I recognize from my Twitter or Instagram, so I didn’t wanna just make anyone think I dropped art or went on a random hiatus. I know I don’t owe anyone an explanation but I feel it’s appropriate to say since I appreciate the people who take the time to look at and comment on my work.

Going to do my best to keep up with monthly Dislyte art if I can’t sketch silly little stuff like I have been, and try dipping back into drawing my ocs again. Hopefully winter break will be like a reset for me lol.

do u think you could explain to me why lestat laughed. i does not make sense to me. why would he laugh...?????

[from gifs by sophsun1]

lestat laughs bc he sucks and is crazy <3 in all seriousness i think its for 2 primary reasons 1) the idea of louis not being enough is amusing to him as he says they'll be together for a hundred years a thousand. he chose LOUIS to turn louis to be his life partner why isn't he allowed to indulge himself on the side without an inquisition 2) ironically his understanding of louis' perception of how serious the relationship only hits him now. lestat just views marriage this way: having someone to wait for you to come home, someone you love in your bed (or locking themselves in with you in their coffin. the lack of metaphor is striking) a code you don't have to worry about violating once you've sealed the deal. the way marriage frees men traps women etc bc ofc here lestat realizes from marriage louis expects commitment as opposed to just understanding, like lestat does, that its whole point is being able to do what you want without worrying about the other leaving. the laughter is definitely not untinged by the second of panic he feels. theres a manic edge to it. claudia voice and when he's scared? he ridicules......for a second there lestat allows himself to consider the possibility that louis does not owe him the violative right of infidelity but then of course it comes back to how he's the patriarch. and louis is vegetarian and judgemental and not putting out. and its his right to seek entertainment elsewhere. louis is held to different standards bc hes the student (and the wife). ldl is like well he brought louis into this world of violent freedom and seeking a mortal childhood friend w whom to have a one night stand is ingratitude to him. marriage >:)

[brian-kinney-apologist]

random qaf thought i wanted to share

brian kinney was always a very special character for me personally and one particular thing about his writing still feels very dear to me to this day. brian was an openly gay man who always knew who he was, he didn't feel shame about his sexuality, and basically was living his best life as an out and proud queer man (no excuses, no apologies, no regrets etc etc). AND YET he wasn't out to his parents. it was never his intention to come out to them because he knew the exact reaction they would have. brian wasn't scared of their reaction though, he never needed their approval or waited for them to understand him (at least when we meet him in the show (young!brian is a a topic for another discussion though)). brian knew that his coming out would only resolve in useless drama. he didn't owe his parents anything just because they were related by blood. they didn't deserve to have an explanation or to know his truth. that's the point that the show makes with his character: you don't owe people your coming out. (yes, brian did come out to his parents at some point but with his mother it was purely coincidental and imo he wouldn't have came out to his father if debbie hadn't pressured him into doing so)

usually in tv/films we only see closeted queer people (usually teenagers) whos whole story revolves around them being ashamed of their sexuality, being scared about other people finding out their secret, and they also often behave like bullies themselves (chris hobbs moment). they also often outed by someone/forced to come out and end up having to deal with the consequences of them being gay. and yes, storylines like this have a right to exist and there're probably enough people who resonate with these types of stories. but there're other life scenarios too. and brian imo is a great example for people who had/still have to survive in our homophobic world but who know exactly who they are, who don't really struggle with their identity and who are at peace with their sexuality. off the top of my head i can name a number of characters that fit the first description but brian kinney is the only one who fits the second one. (maybe you know other characters with the same attitude but I doubt that anyone has ever openly said the actual words on tv/in films. brian was the blueprint for sure)

to be honest, it was a revelation for a 16 year old me when I first watched the show that you may be confident, out and proud and at the same time you not explaining your sexuality (or gender identity) to random (or not so random) people (proving to cishet people that you are a normal queer™️ OR on the contrary visibly queer enough) doesn't make you any less valid or a liar or a coward. brian being allowed to chose who to share his identity with not out of fear or shame but out of his own free will was and still a very important message to send to queer people everywhere. so many things that were illustrated through brian's character were so true and were ahead of their time imo. there is no one yet to match his level of queer wisdom on tv (and i doubt ther ever will)

I hope this makes sense because idk how to put it more eloquently. I've been thinking about all of this for some time now and wanted to put it somewhere so here you go

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

update.

hi there!! its me, linh. and i have an update to give.

it probably surprises no one, but i think its time for me to officially announce that its the end of my time here on tumblr. trust me when i say that i say this with a heavy heart. over the past few months i just realised that ive just kinda outgrown (that sounds so weird to say) writing, tumblr and even kpop in a way.

regarding love to hate you, im so deeply sorry that this how the series is coming to an end, or well... its not. but i really havent felt the desire to touch it at all. or anything for that matter. i will hold that series near and dear to my heart and forever cherish it for how much fun i had creating it. im sorry for leaving it on such a note but i hope you guys can understand and still appreciate the chapters i offered to you guys.

i will keep the blog up, so you guys can go back and read their silly little story again and again. (for those who really really need to know if they make it or not, i will put it in the tags)

and for those few who care, ive been doing really good! im really happier than ever but busier than ever too (uni has been kicking my ass). still, these past few months have been so fun for me and i hope the same applies to you all!!

if you guys want to, you can send me messages because i will still log on every now and then to check up on things. because even though tumblr isnt really a part of my daily routine anymore, i did gain a lot of love for it over the past few years. and hell if the writing itch catches me again, maybe i will post something. its a big maaaybe and right now it looks pretty unrealistic given how busy i am, but never say never i guess

so, it looks like this is a goodbye. but its a good one, a really good one. and i hope you guys understand and see it that way too!!

linh.

Personal Update - Recovering from burnout 😔

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and new year! I apologize for disappearing for a bit, but as life is, a lot has been going on. Long story short, I started a new job in December so it's been a very busy time as I transition and hit the ground running here.

Also, taking some time away has made me come to terms with: how I'm simply burnt out.

—Which honestly, isn't that surprising considering I've been posting on this blog for almost 4 years now, haha. I know the last year has been a lot less consistent, but for 3 years, I was posting A3 translations almost daily. Looking back, I don't even know how I did it? Like wow, good for me. But also, wow, that was such a different time in my life 😂

Rest assured I still love A3 (and Masumi) and I'm still playing the game regularly! That hasn't changed. But in terms of posting A3 translations—I think I'm in dire need of an actual break.

But seeing as Anni is just around the corner, my current plan for this blog is:

Translate a bunch of anniversary cards

Finish the event stories I have ongoing: Journey to the Colours & Spotlight (Secret): Brothers

However, updates will continue to be slow. I will also come back to translate new Masumi content. But I think it's best if I step back and take it easy for now.

Again, I'm not planning to go anywhere! All these boys mean so much to me 😌❤️ but I also can't deny the current intense burnout I'm experiencing. I'm sure I'll bounce back, but it may take some time.

Thanks for everyone's patience and understanding 🌻💛
