so i wrote a book that comes out soon and having that be real feels like falling down stairs because i wanted this since i was 7 years old so now what do i want after it.

so tell me why today all i care about is the word trundle, that the word trundle exists. of course i have things to do and emails to send and a world of suffering to protect but today my brain won't let me look away from the sheer linguistic improbability of trundle.

i saw a truck doing it. i imagine animals did it first. or people maybe. to trundle comes direct from old english. cows do it on occasion, but more often sheep (in my experience). someone had to name lope and someone had to name slog. the verbs to run and to leap make sense; they are singular and important distinguishers.

but we can bask rather than relax. we can scuttle rather than crawl. sometimes when i move in dance class it is to undulate rather than roll. someone had to name things like sonder and whimsy. of course we had words for tangible things like tree and grass and root. i love those words, i'm eating them.

i don't know the word for this thing. where it's real-now. sometimes i feel it when i am dating someone i actually like-and-love and i realize that is real, i am dating them and it's real that i like-and-love them. sometimes i have this feeling when i have been planning a vacation or an event for weeks-and-months and it finally happens - the feeling this is happening, it's happening right now.

it happens randomly sometimes too. i will be at the carnival or at an ice cream stand or with the last light of summer in my hair and i will feel it again, that sense - i have waited my whole life for this, and im finally experiencing it, and i need to pay attention to it.

but it's real! how amazing! how horribly tragic! it's real. it exists. the moment is here.

i have no idea what to do with it.

Are you done with Scarlet Lady? It hasn't updated since Reflektdoll 5.

Right now I got a lot going on - I've already talked about having a new job, but I'm also moving soon - but I'm not *quite* done. ALMOST done, yes, but not quite done.

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

I Finally Got a Job After 2 Years of Struggling!

After two long years of financially struggling, barely scraping by, and searching for work, I finally got the news I’ve been waiting for—I got a job as a Graphic Designer! 🎉

It’s been a rough journey, especially balancing college while job hunting with very little money to get by. There were times I seriously wondered if things would ever turn around. But I stayed persistent, kept learning, and just recently signed the job offer papers!

I’m starting my new role in two weeks, and honestly, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The relief is unreal, and I’m excited to get back to work and use everything I’ve learned.

For anyone out there who’s still struggling or feeling stuck, hang in there. It took a while, but things finally turned around for me. Keep pushing—your moment will come too. 🙏

Thanks to everyone who’s supported me during this time. Here’s to new beginnings!

So instead of the summoning wheel, we essentially kidnap invite Matilda to our suitcase every year by luring her with Sonetto

Regulus : So we're abducting her every year

Sonetto : Well, she technically comes over by her own will

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.

My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!

So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.
