Final Announcement

Hey fam! As you may have guessed, this blog isn’t active anymore, nor do I have much intention of bringing it back to life; I realised a little too late that I actually had no idea where the plotline was going anymore, and that the large cast of characters + historical setting was really something I couldn’t manage. However, I didn’t actually want to quit the ask blog because I really enjoyed doing it, and I was having lots of fun with the pairing of Arthur and Gen and Allen and Liz; I suppose that’s why I put this off for so long, because I still had the lingering hope that I could somehow reanimate this blog with new ideas and new art. Unfortunately, I just don’t think I can do it with this blog. BUT! I think I can still have my cake and eat it, too: seeing as this blog was heavily centred on Arthur and Gen, and seeing as it’s my OTP, I’ve gone ahead and created a new ask blog (but on a smaller scale, so I can actually manage it). It’s kind of the same vibe as the one here; a not-so-serious story about an altogether too-serious lawyer and a diva/artist/femme fatale extraordinarie. So if that’s the kind of thing you want in your life, please check it out!! And if you were really enjoying the Liz/Allen interactions, I’ve got you covered too: I’ve started on a new AU on my main art blog which, although it isn’t posted yet, will be tagged as /nyc-au in the near future; it won’t update as frequently, but I really like it and I’m always open to questions about it so that it can keep growing (it’s about modern art and the NY Times and fwb in the 21st century)!

Anyways, in closing, I’ve had a wonderful time here; everyone has been so nice and funny and encouraging and I hope that you had as much fun as I did!! Thank you all so much for your support, we’ve had a great run <3

Hey everyone! It’s the mun here to apologise for the inactivity (which seems to be all I ever do these days whoops), but it’s exam season, which means that I’ll be running on coffee and granola bars until May and will essentially be a zombie which inhabits the university library. And idk if y’all knew this, but zombies are darn bad at drawing, so I’ll be taking another small hiatus until exams are over. Sorry about that!

#delete later #i can't believe the year's over tbh?? but here we are lmao #i'll try to make up for this with some super cool answers i promise #like with colours and feels and surprise event #spirou speaks

((I think I finally found a 30's hairstyle which I both like on Liz and am actually capable of drawing consistently. So yeah if she appears suddenly like this in an answer, this would be why :)
