& then, as swiftly as Murphy’s Law could work, I got hit with the flu 😷
I’m still here ! 🌷 I promise I didn’t just post an inbox call & disappear 🥺 I actually just got a new job & they wanted me to start IMMEDIATELY, so my days have been consumed by various types of training 🫡🌱🌿

though Ari is not the sort of kid that engages often with technology, she can still navigate certain features on devices ! for example, she knows how to text ! I imagine she uses emojis to help fill in the words she doesn’t know how to spell yet 😭 oh, & she definitely types in all caps OFNSOXKSKD

“ I … I hug Pissy … I do, ” the child insists, wrapping Percy in an embrace most loving. “ fff … fuh … for hatey - hate mi … hate minutes! ”
@earthssprout || what is a boy to do 😔
When you think about it, a hug lasting longer than, say . . . thirty seconds was usually considered a long hug. (And sometimes awkward, depending on exactly who it was from.) Percy was pretty sure being stuck in one spot for eighty-eight minutes would probably be the death of him—
But then again . . . Who said he needed to stay still?
“Alright,” he relented in a sing-song tone that was concerningly close to resembling a mom allowing her kid to do something stupid just to teach them a lesson (or in his case, usually because he wouldn't listen anyway). “Eighty-eight minutes. Timer starts now.” Laughable. Percy would lose count after about fifteen seconds.
With Ari still clinging to him like some baby koala, he went about his business on the Argo II's deck, commanding the sails and steering their course while Leo got some well-deserved rest down below. His hand occasionally swung out to hold Ari in place against him, but Percy otherwise acted like it was the normalest thing in the universe.

happy new year to you & yours, friends ! 🥳🌷🍃 I hope you all had a wonderful & safe time while celebrating, if you enjoyed any such kind of merriment at all 🥺
as I mentioned in the tags on a previous post, I've been meaning to share how I intend to handle Ari's blog as I struggle to balance real life responsibilities & writing. after much discussion with close friends & exploring important parts of myself on my own, I've decided to put Ari's blog on an EXTREMELY LOW ACTIVITY status, of which will remain so until the end of my studies. seeing as I'm pursuing an English degree, there will never be a semester when I'm not writing a bajillion things a week to satisfy course requirements & perform well academically. this, of course, takes precedence 🥺 it is my future, after all !
with all that being said, I don't want to separate myself from this space entirely, so I won't be putting Ari's blog on an indefinite hiatus. however, during the rare opportunities given to me throughout the semester which allow me to be somewhat present on here, I'd like to keep my "obligations" to roleplay as low as possible. therefore--for at least the foreseeable future--I will no longer be accepting new threads or engaging in starter calls/posting my own. if we had any threads going before, consider them dropped. I plan to make this blog what you might call ... " ask - centric " ... meaning that the only method of interaction I will be accepting for a while are asks. I will be answering prompts that are sent in to me, as well as sending the same to others. any asks that I send, however, will not be continued ( except for perhaps on the very rare occasion ). my partners are welcome to continue the ask if they would like to, but just know that it's highly unlikely I'll respond to anything that is turned into a thread. I may, however, toss the response into the treasure box tag ! 🌷🍃
I understand that this, in turn, somewhat prioritizes the relationships that Ari has already built with other muses and, in a way, limits opportunity for her to create new ones. while this restriction isn’t something I’m intentionally enforcing — rather, it is a passive effect of the current state of affairs — given the busyness of real life & all else that is equally important to me, I simply don't have the energy to juggle many things at once on here--in fact, I've been unable to do so for a long while, & I'm only now facing & accepting that fact 😔 the most meaningful & important relationships that Ari has made with other muses were primarily built by lots & lots of ooc discussion, so while I am not opposed to starting new things & building similar relationships, the chances of such happening are much higher with those that are willing to engage in thoughtful discussion about our muses despite my circumstances — plotting over interaction, to put it simply 🌱
regardless, I will still be very slow on here, and I expect I will keep a similar pace when responding to im’s as well. even though asks will be the only interactions/things I respond to on here for a while, please don’t expect me to reply to such with any haste either. I may have the time and creative energy to respond to five asks in a single day, or I may lack both for a month straight. this is, unfortunately, something unpredictable, and therefore I cannot make any promises about how often I'll be here 😔 overall, the greatest shift this blog will be experiencing is how much creative energy I can spend on it and where I decide to invest that. I don’t want to abandon this space entirely, as it is a comforting place to be, and Ari is still very much alive and well in my heart ! I want to comment on posts to support my fellow writers, participate in the occasional dash shenanigan, post random thoughts and ideas I have about Ari throughout the day, and maybe even still actually write ! however, some balancing is in order; I want to improve upon my writing through practice, but most importantly, I enjoy this hobby again 🌷🌼😭
to anyone that isn’t interested in writing with a blog that has such sporadic activity and limited methods of interaction, I completely understand. I always want to be a person that encourages others to do what’s best for them, so if parting ways because of this change is what you need to, then please do so. you will be missed, of course !🌷 but know that this decision to limit my interactions so severely is because I have the same desire in mind — I have to do what’s best for me, in a way that cares for my mental health and nurtures my creative spirit 🌻that being said, this may change. I may limit my interactions even more in the future ... I may open everything back up again ... who knows 🥺
since everything in my ask box is covered in about seven thick layers of dust, I'll also be deleting everything in there too--starting completely anew !
to those who remain, thank you for your ongoing understanding, patience, and support 🌿 at some point, I’m sure, Ari and I will see you outside again ! 🐸🌱🪻🌷🌳🐝
