2023 Writing Round Up!

Writing Round-Up: Share what you wrote this year! It can be works you posted to Ao3, Wattpad, Tumblr, or anywhere else! You can share everything you wrote or just the ones your most excited about.

i honestly didn't think i wrote/published a lot of fic this year, but that actually turned out to be a lie when i went back and checked out my stats this year so i'm pleastantly surprised and impressed with myself! so here's my writing round up!

January

Drabble Life 2023 - Jan 2nd, 2023 - (Schitt's Creek, 1.9k)

new year, new drabbles! drabbles based on weekly prompts from schittscreekdrabbleblog on tumblr

A Lesson in Flirting - Jan 3rd, 2023 (Schitt's Creek, Teen, 1.9k)

a 5+1 fic where patrick is oblivious when women flirt with him and 1 time where he knows when a man flirts with him

Public Relations - finished Jan 31st, 2023 (Schitt's Creek, E, 38k)

Patrick Brewer and Rachel Davis are everyone's favorite rom-com actors, and since this is the sixth time they're playing a couple and with the public demanding when they're going to start dating, their PR manager, Alexis Rose has them perform a PR relationship for two years to help promote their latest movie. Patrick, however has recently been casted in the new book to series adaption of The Thief and the Prince alongside David Rose, making his fake relationship with Rachel go into jeopardy

February

Month of Love - all month long (Schitt's Creek, 11.8k)

My attempt at doing 28 drabbles in 28 days!

Patrick vs. The Sexy Vets - Feb 7th, 2023 (Schitt's Creek, Teen, 461 words)

"Smiling quizzically at Dr. Miguel, Patrick was about to ask what he meant but his question died on his tongue when Miguel set the kennels down so he could take off his shirt."

Or, a little drabble of what if Patrick was there when Miguel shot that photo for that add of his?

April

Keep My Hands Tied - April 4th, 2023 (Schitt's Creek, E, 2.4k)

Right now David was on his knees in his and Patrick’s bedroom, taking steadying breaths as Patrick loped the blue rope around David’s body slowly around him. It wasn’t often David asked Patrick to dominate him. When they first got together, David found out his inclination of Patrick to be slightly wrong. But the way Patrick said, “Oh, I’m gonna get the money,” or, “You’re going to sit here and think about what you’ve done,” that time when they got back together… That tone never failed to leave David’s vivid imagination or fantasies.

June

What We Don't See At The 118 - June 20th, 2023 (911, 381 words)

Prompts I've received on tumblr*

*lol this only has one entry so far, this fic was supposed to be for little drabbles but some prompts i've recieved have grown to one-shots in my wip folder whoops

It's Photoshop - June 30th, 2023 (911:Lonestar, Teen, 567 words)

TK meets a friend who also likes bearded dragons. And Carlos' secret comes out.

July

cause i believe that we were supposed to find this- July 10th, 2023 (911: Lonestar, Teen, 3.2k)

As soon as they are at the scene a cop is already there waiting for him. He’s younger than TK expected. He greets his dad before letting him take the lead of the scene. TK doesn’t get a good look at him, doesn’t bother interacting with him - too busy to do his job of getting Allison out of her car. In fact, he even forgets about the timer on his wrist.

If he did, he would’ve noticed that the countdown is less than a minute.

When the 126 find out that Allison has another baby - one not still inside her - it doesn’t take long for Paul to figure out the baby miraculously landed in a tree. And isn’t that a news story. The cop comes up to TK and asks, “How the hell-” when two distinct buzzing sounds go off.

Both men look down at their wrists.

Or, you're born with a timer on your wrist that counts down to when you meet your soulmate.

Castles Crumbling Down- July 14th, 2023 (911, Teen, 1.5k)

Eddie sits down on the bench, laying his head back against the cold stone wall. With his eyes closed and arms crossed, he hopes it fools the guards into thinking Eddie is more calm than he really is. That they can’t tell how much his heart is pounding or how his skin itches to start punching things. Again. Just like how they found him when his hood fell off and people let out cries that the Princess Assassin is here amongst them.

OR: i had a tumblr prompt in my ask box and when i watched nimona things finally clicked.

You Can Take the Man Out of the Midwest... - July 29th, 2023 (911, G, 1k)

At first, Bobby gets trolled for all things midwest, it isn't until later he can use his teammates non midwest knowledge to his advantage...

September

yes i know that he's my ex but can't two people reconnect? - Sept 25, 2023 (911:Lonestar, E, 2.8k)

seeing him tonight - it's a bad idea, right?

(fuck it, it's fine)

Today marks the year anniversary since ONE 17 came out, and that means we've seen Airy's true form for a whole 365 days.

I've not been normal about him this whole year. I looked through my files and found out that I drew him a lot more than other characters I like, so I figured eh fuck it. Art dump.

Here's all the doodle's I've drawn and liked of him in chronological order, dating from roughly 15th Aug 2022 to 7th July 2023. They all range from digital, traditional, to even mixed media for the Airy page.

Under the cut are a few pictures of some physical things, like keychains and my goddamn Halloween hat.

Alrighty, first keychain. It was mostly just to practice cross-stitching but he's still on my bag. Idk how I feel about it, it's wonky but idk. I like it. The left is the quick pixel art I did just to see what he'd look like so low-res, and I obviously did some tweaking before sewing it.

This one turned out a lot better. Near the end of the images above you can see the sketches. I think it's funny how this thing came from some absent-minded doodle on my science work in class. And you know I had to make each side different! That's like 90% of the fun with shrink plastic.

I can't believe I forgot to take pics of the just hat after I'd finished it, but luckily I'm a hoarder and keep everything. It looked a little better in October, but I can't go back in time and take photos. If you wanna see the costume and wip pics they're in this post btw.

#I had to reorder those images so many times it's not funny #this is like an art timeline of sorts #it's making me realise I need to start drawing him as the horrors #like it would be good for the ecosystem #like he's not looking horrifying enough in the ones May and onwards #hfjone #hfj one #airy hfjone #osc one #osc #object show community #art dump #ms paint doodles #ms paint #mixed media

20 QUESTIONS GAME

Thanks @practicecourts for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What's your total AO3 words count?

15,980

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly HP.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Rain (179 kudos), Hand Cramps (87 kudos), Rules Don't Apply (86 kudos), Do You Want To Know A Secret (72 kudos) and I Saw Her Standing There (56 kudos). Hand Cramps and Rules Don't Apply are for another fandom, though (Julie And The Phantoms).

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always. Always. Who doesn't? They literally make me so happy, they're all so nice and kind!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Definitely All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers, since it's set right after Halloween 1981 and it's from Remus' POV.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Either I've Just Seen A Face or I Saw Her Standing There. They're both get-together fics so I'm sure James and Lily were rather happy about that.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, thankfully!

9. Do you write smut. If so what kind?

I don't, but I'd love to. I just don't feel confident enough at the moment so I suppose I'll wait until I have more fics under my belt.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No, I even struggle writing outside of canon so crossovers are out of the questions (for me, at least).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of and I'd be surprised if that happened. I'd be a bit flattered, though, not gonna lie (I absolutely don't condone it, of course).

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I've considered translating some of mine in Italian (my mother tongue). However, I physically cringe if I really think about it because I don't think I can write fiction in my mother tongue. It feels foreign to me (lol). It doesn't come naturally.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nope. I'd love to, though!

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Honestly I have no idea, because I've been in so many fandoms in my 27 years of life but I guess Jily. It's weird to think about it because I've been a HP fan since I was a kid, and I had always been fascinated by the Marauders but for some reason I never thought about reading fics about them, and I've created stories in my mind set in the HP world but with different ships or OCs, and their dynamics were exactly like James and Lily's (enemies to lovers, soldiers in the war and so on). It's like my subconscious was trying to tell me something. I got into Jily fairly recently, in late 2021 and usually I hyperfixate on a fandom or ship for 5-6 months max, but i'ts been over two years and I'm still as obsessed with them if not more. Jily has been the ship I've been looking for my whole life.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

It's either my 7th year get-together canon fic I'm Looking Through You (I've posted the first of three snippets in August 2022 and I haven't worked on it since March) because it has angst and canon-typical violence and they're exhausting to write, and I have written maybe 3k but I expect it to be at least 12k and I've never written anything over 4k and I don't think I'm capable; that, or my Muggle AU All Things Must Pass, which is sad as fuck because James dies in it and I have only written two scenes and I wept like a baby (also, this is supposed to be a long one too, 10k at least, and I don't think my heart can take it right now).

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, I think. I love writing it so much, I'm usually very proud of it and I've gotten a few compliments about it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Literally everything else. I don't know how to write descriptions, they feel forced most of the time and the few times that I write something I like rest assured that it took me hours to make it work.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

That's technically my whole thing since I'm a native Italian speaker lol; I also speak French and Spanish and when they randomly appear in a fic, I can tell when they're written by someone who isn't fluent. I don't mind it though. I'd probably feel comfortable writing dialogue only in Italian, but I suppose I could try with the other two languages.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Either The Chronicles of Narnia in 2008 or something, or One Direction in 2011 (I hate myself for it now, because I don't like fics about real people).

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Ah, this is hard! Should I say Rain? I'm really proud of it because it was a real challenge, but I have a soft spot for my Blackevans friendship one-shot Do You Want To Know A Secret? and I've wanted to write a sequel to that for the longest time.

I'm tagging @kay-elle-cee, @nodirectionhome-ao3 @jamesunderwater @startanewdream @annasghosts and whoever wants to do it! I don't know if you've already been tagged and it's okay if you don't feel like doing :)

Pinned post

Hi! My name is Arcee and I am a worldbuilder with a BIG interest in neography.

This blog is nothing more than a stash of ALL of my neographies that I have documented since I began doing neography by the beginning of 2022. You can view the scripts faster by using the archive.

Mainer blog is @thecrazyworldbuilder, visit it and also my other blogs, @444names, @cryptolangsguy, @schooloftieflings and @verical.

I will begin listing my neographies from the very beginning of the documented list, tagging each with the blog's tag, as well as couple more.

I have open commissions for artistic designs using my neographies, or I can create a neographic script for you!

If the project takes less than an hour to finish, you get the end result free of charge (accepting tips, you pay what you think the script is worth), longer than that depends on the amount of symbols and time spent designing the script; the standard English alphabet cipher with 26 symbols costs 30$.

On my pfp is Ahimiko, the mascot of this blog. She is an anthro canine of mixed heritage, and is a powerful symbolomancer (mage specializing in casting via projecting symbols of different kinds: the stronger the symbolism, the deeper the mysticism, and the more complex the symbol the more precise and specific is the spell she casts). Say hi! :D

Most of my scripts are purely ciphers for English. I do not care to make conlangs for every single one of them, for I enjoy the act of creation.

On creation: Some anon asked for the methods I use to create cohesive and constant-style scripts. A good post on my other blog might help, listing the methods.

NOTE THAT ALL OF MY CREATIONS ARE FREE TO USE, BUT YOU MUST CREDIT ME AS THE CREATOR/NOTIFY ME BEFORE USING THEM IN YOUR COMIC, ART, BOOK OR ANYTHING

As well - feel free to ask for assistance and guidance in usage of my scripts in DMs; Some of them lack explanation, and might be bit confusing.

ASK BOX RULES:

Refrain from using anonymous asks, since it cuts off the possibility of me responding more directly into your DMs if I deem them impossible to answer via post and won't be able to notify you about it, making me look rude.

You can send positive feedback - it will be stored in the bottom of this post (see below).

You can send requests for scripts, like "Futhark but more like Ogham", or "a Katakana chart inspired by Klingon". Those are free, unlike the commissions, hence I am not required to do adjustments, follow the idea 1:1, nor I am required to make them in the first place.

Don't ask for tips, guidance, or tutorials: This blog is purely an archive of my works. If you need help, go to @conlangcrab where I will answer your asks directly, just remember to address them to "Arcee", since the blog is run by two people there.

Updates on this post below:

I make neographic scripts for already existing writing systems (like Latin or Katakana) because I can't create a conlang for every single aesthetic I can come up with for a writing system.

By Ides of March, 2023, this blog has 350 distinct scripts documented, all created by me.

A pinterest user has been repeatedly stealing my works I've posted on Reddit without notifying or crediting me.

By 4/4/2023, there are over 400 scripts documented.

By 3rd of May, there are over 500 scripts documented.

By 27 of June, there are exactly 600 scripts documented.

By 7th of July, there are exactly 700 scripts documented.

By 25th of August, there are exactly 800 scripts documented.

Another pinterest user has been stealing my works from Reddit.

By 17th of October, there are exactly 900 scripts documented.

By 12th of November, there are exactly 1000 scripts documented.

By 23rd of December, there are exactly 1100 scripts documented.

By 2/10/2024, there are exactly 1200 scripts documented.

By 3/29/2024, there are exactly 1300 scripts documented.

Positive anon asks under the cut (you are encouraged to send more!)

Sure thing! Thank you UwUb

Thanki ;w;b Well, I do have some WIP or UFO (never meant to be finished WIPs) conlangs, but I don't have scripts for them really. I do ciphers because they are A) Simple to make, B) Are a good display of just enough symbol styles for a demonstration of an idea, thus, a good "advertisement" for my product, which are neographies.

QoQb I will never stop indeed, as long as I can move my hands xD

In fact I answered this one, but didn't say thanks for the warm words Q~Qb

It got so bad really.

When something feels like it's gotten so bad, what are you supposed to do?

The psychological and emotional, heart bending trials and tribulations, inner and outer spiritual warfare, encompassed with the essence truth embodiment of one's own self, yet in so much relation to another, compassion for another, yet conviction and integrity to uphold and stand strong and clear in intentions, yet can feel so breakable and mutable while in the despair of seemingly deep dramatic entanglement, which story to tell though, and how to tell the story?

And when your partner flies into another world 15 hours ahead of time and space, and when just days ago you thought you were on the brink of losing what is actually so precious to you, yet at the same time over and over and over and over again you knew you deserved and longed for better, yet also you tried to hold the faith that this was but some infancy birthing stage of much deeper grand picture of life quality relationship that would over many more years mature and season itself with time and multitudes of dimensional growth and evolution as you see, reflect and hope the same for the world.

Laying in bed, this bed where I will be for just two more nights, this bed I have slept in for a little over a month, having taken a deep breath moments ago, while listening to piano music, warm, safe, and missing you. I move into a month to month in two days.

When we said our well wishes, and love dotings yesterday, as a couple hours approached where you had to be at the airport, we held each other and tears flowed from both our eyes, the way your voice broke, the way I could feel such big space about to come into motion. Starting to tear as I write this now. Even deciding how big I want to allow myself to feel that emotion right now.

It's been so hard moving from place to place, packing up, shifting, unpacking on repeat as I have bounced between pet sit and sublet on repeat since end of July or beginning August, whichever it was. I only lived in the trailer with you for a few months of April last year. 8 days into the new year now, here in 2024. I also go to Hawaii soon, in 8 days. You left for Thailand last night, on the 7th. And you won't be back until the 25th. I feel overwhelmed really. I feel myself wanting spaciousness to process a lot tend to myself. Still there's too much to do right now outside of that it seems.

I still try to imagine being in the tiny house. It finished, the wood stove, a fire going, beautiful, warm, mood lit, cozy, comfortable, gentle, loving, sweet, a home we share. I try to imagine us healthy, happy, in resonance, even the garden in springtime and growing into summer, and the gardens last hurrah in fall. I imagine green, and flower colors, and sunshine, birds singing, the neighbor's cat, more apples on the apple tree, even better raspberries than last year. The garden box filled and two more filled, the climbing jasmine spreading out more, and more fires in the pit we created. Can these imaginations become real, and solid, and flowing, and true? Have these last 2 years truly been a painful birthing stage set for something grander? I really really hope.

I couldn't stand the thought of taking a break, of space, or it being declared even before you go on your trip, and me being left with just feelings of insecurity and potential heartbreak. I pounded my fists on my own head, I clenched at my skin on my legs and knees and the back of my neck and even tugged at my hair. At the trailer, and here where I've been subletting for only 2 more days, recently those two places had such intense deep cries of something in me that did not want this to fail, that did not want heartbreak, that did not want all my energy and hard work and dedication to just amount to nothing. I couldn't stand the thought of it.

It also takes so much out of me. All that emotion. The energy embodiment and the exhaustion and the feeling as I have even shrunk or lost some of my own magic, is hard for me to rebuild and regain within myself. I still haven't gotten it back. I noticed how I felt singing at Kirtan yesterday as well. Not so bright and confident feeling. Self conscious rather and insecure. Even despite the love in the room and the eyes and smiles on me that I know loved seeing me on the stage and even though I could feel their support. I was drained somewhere in myself, yet I still showed up devoted for the cause.

I haven't been able to process or feel any excitement for my Hawaii trip. I think after this work week some room will come in. Also I am remembering I need to pick a song for Sunday's sound bath.

Anyways, I got distracted for a bit there actually. I had found a potential song I want to do for this Sunday's sounndbath. I think if I practice it enough I can make it sound smooth. I just need to project my voice in the day time and sit more upright. I also need to connect more to the song rather than just try to merely play it. Remembering knowing some of the words would be helpful too.

I hope that this time apart can feel like some kind of good reset for us both. It's not that I have never forgiven you for things, it's just that it feels like it's taken so long to heal and rebuild and feel confident again and feel secure again, because new things kept piling up on top of the other...

It's 12:06am now, I should sleep soon.

Although I do want to mention that I came across a thought of imagining myself doing affirmation journeying....as a role a modality of offering healing with sound healing and whatever else, maybe song circling too. I dont know. Figure that out more later.

Hey, the last time (first time) i wrote here was back in june. A lot has happened (not really). School has been a bitch.

The end of June my dog got sick but he pulled through in July, thank god because I don't know what i would've done without him. August was just a bit overwhelming because of that and school didn't help with that feeling. September was quite hectic, the first two weeks were rough just because I was way over my head and they started assigning so much shit. And the fact that i dont have wifi doesn't help. Because how am I supposed to do my work if i dont have wifi? Also I've been missing a lot of school. Anxiety kicks my ass every year. I feel like sometimes I'm just dramatic about stuff because my parents are always saying I am so then I just feel like shit about it and end up crying later on. But i wish people were just mindful about shit like damn keep your opinions to yourself if they're not gonna be helpful. Anyways, I saw Bruno Major since he went on tour this year. If you don't know who I'm talking about. He's a singer, quite talented in my opinion. Genres are r&b and soul. If you like that then you should check him out. His concert was quite fun and I enjoyed my time but the crowd was kinda lame. A week or two later I went and saw arctic monkeys. I was over the fucking moon. They've been my favorite band since the 7th grade. The first song I acknowledged was ‘no buses’ if i remember correctly and jesus christ i've been hooked on ever since. I was like a little kid all over again. Like I had no worries in the world and I was smiling with my teeth as if I'd forgotten what insecurities were. I was so joyful. To this day I still can't believe I saw them.

Now it's october. Still on cloud nine from that day. But the only difference is that im filled with anxiety, stressed as hell over the fact that i have an essay due, two pieces of class work due, a packet to finish for tuesday, a stupid mock trial to read, plus i have to move all my shit out of my current room because my sister is moving back in, AND i have to get a gift for my dad, it's his birthday soon. And my parents wonder why I'm stressed. ‘You don't work, what the hell are you stressed about’ (they didn't say that, they don't speak english but they said something similar, just not in english of course).

But yeah, if you read this then that's cool, long as hell but thanks.

Until later, bye lovelies, take care.

(if you're wondering how i managed

to upload this, i go to coffee shops a lot.)

SEPTEMBER 1ST

I started to work on another new art piece. This time, it was created digitally. I figured that if I can't complete any traditional artwork, I might as well focus on digital work instead.

I didn't have much reason to be sad. Today was the day I created a new poll for my website. This poll will help me decide the new character for MEOWCO. You can send your vote here!

SEPTEMBER 2ND

Saturday seemed a little uneventful. I finished that new artwork from yesterday. However, I won't be able to upload it to my website until tomorrow due to personal reasons.

When it came to Pokémon, Shelgon evolved today. It was a good thing I focused on his Speed before he evolved.

While in Sandgem Town, I decided to talk to Dawn to see if she had anything new to say to me. To my surprise, I unlocked the ability to fight her.

If you want to see this match for yourself, you can watch it here. Seeing her use Magmortar reminded me that I should train my own at some point.

You don't say?

I managed to find a Sneasel on Route 217 that held a Quick Claw. Naturally, I caught it.

Since I didn't need the Sneasel, I took her to the Global Wonder Station to start a chain of Wonder Trades.

I didn't get any new Pokémon. But the events that happened in the GWS were still pretty interesting.

I don't know who this Cog person is. But they must have teleportation powers if they can be in two places at once.

After my next Wonder Trade, I marked my 250th point.

I thought I wouldn't see this screen again until I marked 300 points. The Rare Candies will be of great use in the future.

SEPTEMBER 3RD

I finally finished my new art piece. (The first real piece of artwork I've drawn since July.) I based it on an official crossover between the Pokémon franchise and Hatsune Miku. (Yes, that is something that ACTUALLY exists) You can view it on my website.

SEPTEMBER 4TH

I visited the Jubilife TV Station to win my daily lottery prize. I was expecting something like a Lucky Egg or some PP Up. Instead, I got the first prize:

It's not a Master Ball. But it's still something handy. I knew visiting this place every day would pay off!

After another battle, I went back to Pokémon Violet to add more Pokémon to the Paldea Pokédex. One of the Pokémon I needed was a Primeape. And luckily, there was a shiny Primeape available for trade on Pokémon HOME's GTS. I got it in exchange for the Cresselia I caught last month.

I knew I'd be able to trade her for something someday.

SEPTEMBER 5TH

I struggled to complete some assignments because of the air quality. It was just as bad as the middle of the summer. Despite that, I still managed to get things done.

I thought about taking on the Wi-Fi Room in the Heartgold Battle Tower again. This time, I'll use a Ditto with Quick Powder to deal with the hacked Pokémon in the 7th round. Even though it sounds like a solid strategy, my current internet connection doesn't support non-DSi enhanced games. I'll find a way to connect it someday.

In Pokémon Violet, I was going to fly somewhere until I came across a wild Sliggoo. It was a roaming Tera Pokémon that was at a low level. Fortunately, Braixen was enough to lower its health so I could catch it.

In all honestly, that might have been one of my difficult catches in this game.

Speaking of catch, these Poké Ball descriptions are a little confusing.

Is the Dive Ball more effective than the Lure Ball? Is it the other way around? Someone should have written these in a way that explained the Ball functions more clearly.

While trying to find Flabébé, I decided to talk to one of the nearby picnickers. To my surprise, she gave me some new sandwich ingredients.

The interaction made me talk to other picnickers. Sure enough, they also gave me some things for sandwiches.

While the ingredients were cool, I was disappointed in the fact that I couldn't join in with the other people on the route. (Like with camps in the Sword and Shield versions.)

I used Pokémon HOME to transfer a few Pokémon I needed to complete the Paldea Pokédex. While I still had the game open, I converted some of my HOME Points into Battle Points for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond.

I spent some of the new BP on a Muscle Band for CHAIRMAN.

Back in Violet, I was looking around for a Masquerain. I stopped to fight this Poké Maniac just for his dialogue.

But Pokémon ARE like the monsters in movies. (At least most of them are...) I thought I had to reset the game because he had a Pokémon that could help raise the stats of my Pokémon. That was until I realized Bagon was the only one he had on hand.

This might be the first time I've heard Pokémon be referred to as "monsters" since 2005. (And outside of Japan, too.)

But Pokémon always win.

After I beat that guy, I went off to hatch a Slakoth. But not before witnessing a Magikarp aimlessly flop around, waiting to become dinner for some predator.

After racing around on Miraidon for a bit, the Slakoth finally hatched in one of the Ten Sights of Paldea.

Secluded, this is not.

With a nearby Crabrawler, the caught Pokémon total rose to 355. Now there's only 45 more Pokémon for me to deal with.

A task I'm sure I won't have any trouble with in the slightest.

AUGUST 6TH

I managed to speed up my schoolwork and completely embarrass someone by getting better grades than them in my classes. I wish most of my school days could be like that.

When I went to see the Pokémon I got through Wonder Trades in Pokémon HOME, I managed to get a Chatot.

It came from the DP series and belonged to someone named Concert. I was about to trade it. But stopped after I learned about this Pokémon's value.

This Chatot is actually an event Pokémon. Given away in honor of the 10th Anniversary Concert held for... ...Pokémon's 10th anniversary. This explains the name and why it came from the DP series. What makes things more special is that I obtained this little guy through a Wonder Trade as opposed to the GTS or regular trades.

XXY -- July 7th. 2023 - Launch Update (Author's Note)

AO3 was glitching on me, so for whatever reason, it wouldn't post my full note, cutting me off about halfway through. I decided I'd just post the full note on here in a separate post to the update so anyone who wants to read it can.

Hello, everyone! After all this time, we've finally reached the conclusion to the first batch of chapters (I consider 7 an extra chapter, for reasons I'll get into when it releases lol). It feels like yesterday I had officially rebooted the fic by uploading Chapter 1 back in February. If you told me then that the job I started wasn't gonna work out, I think I'd cry haha. But if you also told me XXY would have the sheer amount of support it's gained over the last six months, I'd cry too (but happy tears <3).

Before I let myself get too sappy, let me talk about the happenings of this chapter. Butch closes out the first round of POVs, and we get a bit more insight into how he views things. This version of Butch is a lot more reserved than the Butch I've read in others' stories, as I interpreted his canon self to be less talkative than the others and more focused on the battles ahead. Don't get me wrong, I think I've taken that interpretation a lot harder than I anticipated, but I think having the parallel to Buttercup's outspoken nature is nice. He's also (albeit closeted) femme to foil Buttercup's tomboyish personality, which admittedly wouldn't make sense in canon, but it was a change that I felt worked well.

Speaking of Buttercup, while she's still harsh and snappy with his brothers, she's got a bit of a soft spot for Butch. But unlike the blues, who have openly expressed feelings for each other in front of everybody, they've kept the story between them hidden. And for the most part, it's still hidden… (Sorry guys :'D XD)

Also, XXY has its name officially! Roll credits! Yeah it's a mitosis motif, looks like middle school science class ingraining that stuff into my head was worth something haha. Their logo would look more like X><Y. It represents how though they're a full team now, they started as two separate teams (PPG & RRB). Science isn't even my favorite subject, I just thought of the name somewhere along the way and it stuck. XXY actually came from me merging XX and XY for the teams' acronym pattern (AAB), as well as the whole Chemical X and Y thing referring back to their genetic codes, but finding out XXY is an intersex variation was pretty cool too!

Now to the sappy part, sorry in advance lol. I know I say this a lot, but being able to share my work has been keeping me going during this near-drought period I've had with writing over the last few months. It's been so hard not feeling guilty for my lacking progress, but I know there's been people who have kept up with this fic since its original run in 2020-2021 who waited over an entire year through 2022 to see it reboot this year, and their patience made writing these new chapters all the more worth it.

Before the re-launch, the last chapter I wrote of the original (Chapter 4) was uploaded in September of 2021, and I had made numerous updates throughout the in-between period on that last chapter so everyone knew I was still working on it. I'm so very grateful for everyone who waited through that time frame for the soft-reset.

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, all of you, for your support. Whether you've been here from the beginning, just finished your first read through the whole thing at 3am, or you stumbled upon this fic anywhere in between, I'm so grateful you're a part of this journey with me and appreciate the time you've taken to read through this. I hope you've enjoyed it so far.

As always, thanks so much for all the things, including hits, bookmarks, comments and kudos! Stay hydrated, and have an absolutely wonderful day or night!!! <3

My Top Posts in 2022:

A remake of something I drew back in 2018. At the time I only had two Ocs. Now I've got a few more. These are all characters of an Undertale story I've been working on for a few years.

Betty (the first character on the left) belongs to Camila Cuevas. Luna (the second character on the left) belongs to a friend of mine. All the other characters belong to me.

A drawing of Berdly inspired by a fanfic named Level Up where instead of using Noelle in a Weird Route setting, the player decides to use Berdly.

It's a really good story. If you want to check it out, here's the link

However, it's not over yet, so you might have to wait for futur chapters to come out.

There's two versions cause I couldn't decide which one I liked the most

I'm currently in artblock and I'm real sad I can't draw anything for the Undertale Anniversary.

I'll just post this here, don't know if anyone will read this, don't know if anyone will care, but well...

Happy 7th anniversary Undertale !

My #1 post of 2022

A few years ago I made a fan screenshot redraw of that scene from episode Dust of Glitchtale. Here's the link for those who might want to compare : www.deviantart.com/makishimuky…

Anyway, I've wanted to redraw it for a while, and I finally did.

Gotta admit I'm quite proud of the result

(Glitchtale belongs to Camilaart)

🚨TS7 ALIVE THEORY🚨

GUYS this is INSANE i just connected A LOT of stuff and now i’m gonna put it all here... ENJOY:

PS: SORRY for the length but it’s worth a read!!!!

*read the OVERALL CONNECTION AT THE BOTTOM if you don’t have time*

1. **why she disappeared poem:

okay so the ending of this poem has always struck me as something very important and here’s why... so in the rep tour on netflix, the why she disappeared poem is played right before getaway car all except for the last section: “and in the death of her reputation, she felt truly alive” however it is played at the very end of the movie and it is written on the screen in gold glitter (umm just like the hearts on her countdown........)

i’ve always thought that ts7 could be called alive because the way she phrases the last part makes it sound like “and in the death of her *ts6 album name* she felt truly *ts7 album name*”

credit to @july-9th-one-fiftyeight for realizing this part: in the credits for the rep movie on netlfix it has a little description under why she disappeared and it says: “(video interlude, sequel to “...more”)” hello? ummm this is suspicious.... so this implies that there is something, an album perhaps, that preludes this poem and that very well could be ts7 but i’ll connect this more later tho

2. the “ts5.5” idea:

so if taylor followed her typical album release schedule, ts5.5, as i call it bc reputation is actually ts6, would’ve been released in 2016, but it wasn’t... the kimye drama all occurred in july of 2016, giving taylor enough time to put ts5.5 to the side and to make reputation and release it by 2017

this implies that ts5.5 might have something to do with ts7 and if that’s true, taylor was potentially working on what we now know as ts7 since the 1989 era (or maybe even sooner...)

3. the 1989 album foreword:

okay so i know this could be a stretch but there is a possibility that taylor knew what she wanted to do for ts5.5 (which could be connected to ts7) before she released 1989...

in the 1989 album foreword, taylor says “I've told you my stories for years now. Some have been about coming of age. Some have been about coming undone. This is a story about coming into your own, and as a result... coming alive.”

in the foreword she literally explains her stories for different albums and states that 1989 is a story of coming into your own, but the next part seems imporant... she follows it with an elipsis and then says that the result of coming into your own (the story of 1989) is coming alive (the story of ts5.5? or even ts7??)

4. nostalgic vibes:

so taylor liked @mustlikeme4me ’s post on insta today and the caption was about how ts7 might have nostalgic vibes...

this brings me back to the pictures from her childhood house that she posted on july 13th of 2018... the two pictures are taken on huji camera so they literally say the date in the pictures too so i am pretty sure the fact that the july 13th is literally on both of the photos is significant... not to mention it is also a wax seal on the 2019 calendar *gasp*

one of the pictures is her in her childhood room with others and she captions it “take pictures in your mind of your childhood room...” which is a lyric from never grow up, a very nostalgic feeling song

the other picture is very striking to me though... it’s a picture of taylor outside with a scrapbook and she’s holding it open to a photo that was taken where she was standing... in the photo she is standing on pavement... if you zoom into the picture closely, you see that the picture in the scrapbook shows taylor as a child standing on the pavement and in the picture the pavement is covered in.....sidewalk chalk.......

ok you probably know where i’m going next... back to why she disappeared... in why she disappeared she says “When she fell, she fell apart. Cracked her bones on the pavement she once decorated as a child with sidewalk chalk” once again, this poem comes into play... this nostalgic picture brings us right back into the why she disappeared poem which ends with the word alive

5. why she disappeared video:

when you watch the why she disappeared video, you notice that taylor is actually wearing a floral dress... i can’t tell for sure but they might be forget me nots which connects back to when she was wearing the forget me not shirt in her scrabble picture (and the five holed fence picture but we won’t go there) where she says “let the games BEGIN” which was the first obvious hint at ts7... forget me nots are known to symbolize remembrance which further hints at the nostalgic vibes

the whole video is backwards... why? here are some ideas... in the nostalgic picture with the scrapbook she captions it “take me home” perhaps the backwards video is hinting at the nostalgic feeling of going back in time and reliving her past

another possible idea could be that it symbolizes that she is literally going back to before reputation, before the darkness.... now that she has killed her reputation she is ready to go back to what she was working on before the kimye drama, aka ts5.5.... this would mean that she used reputation to address these issues and kill her reputation and now she can move on (or should i say step into the daylight and let it go) and get back to what she was working on before...

**as you can see, the why she disappeared video seems to play a HUGE part in ts7 and i think that it is a VERY important clue that we have overlooked

🚨 UPDATE thanks to @tullyandtaylor 🚨

6. intagram pics from february

the first picture had 7 palm trees because this is the 7th album

the second picture had 12 stairs because the first single (or album?) comes out 4.26 and 4+2+6=12

the third picture was, of course, the 5 holed fence and ALIVE has 5 letters in it ahdjjdk

7. elle us article:

in lesson 7, which is bound to be important because this is the 7th album, taylor says “We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears”

once again this is the 7TH lesson and she says in order to truly feel alive which, first of all, brings back the truly alive from the why she disappeared poem and it also shows how she is not just alive, but she is truly alive because of the death of her reputation *gasp*

🚨OVERALL CONNECTION🚨

if taylor knew what she wanted to do after 1989, she was definitely hinting at it in the foreword by saying “and as a result... coming alive” and this implies that she felt alive after 1989 was finished and that could have been the title of her next album... however, then there was drama and as a result... resputation... she used reputation to address all the drama and to “kill” her reputation... she published the poem why she disappeared along with reputation which could likely be a transition into her next album... she hints at nostalgic vibes in the poem and the video has a brighter color scheme too it, but not too bright... the video goes backwards, perhaps it is leading her to where she started before reputation, only this time she doesn’t just feel alive, she feels truly alive... she says at the very end of the poem “and in the death of her reputation, she felt truly alive” and this is the perfect transition back into ts5.5 / ts7 which would be called alive... this would also explain the netflix credits because why she disappeared (whent taylor feels truly alive would be the sequel to ts7 (or ts5.5) which will be called...

ALIVE

I'm gonna infodump about 6th-7th grade me first getting into mcr and you cannot stop me :) also I probably messed up several dates because my memory of middle school is real fuzzy thanks trauma

since last july I've been making playlists of songs I've been rly obsessed with that month and the august one is where you know that I had some revelation bc demolition lovers was the first song. what happened was on july 2nd, 2019, I was listening to it, and entirely blacked out for a solid 5 seconds and I was probably just dehydrated or something, but I choose to blame it on the song just being That Good. also when I was first listening to mcr (not hyperfixating yet though) I accidentally went right into deepcuts or at least their early stuff because my first voluntary (not shown to me by a friend) mcr song was all the angels. it was a bmc animatic but still (I can't find it anymore I think it got deleted) (this was probably circa late late 2017 or 2018). at some point mid-late 7th grade (probably march or april 2018) I got REALLY into not that kind of girl and sort of demolition lovers too, mostly ntkog. I listened to demolovers while doing school work but I downloaded ntkog. idk when in 7th grade but I know I listened to give em hell kid, na na na, sing, the light behind your eyes, vampires, and a lot of tbp (plus everything I've already mentioned except for demolovers. I didn't appreciate bullets enough). I remember listening to the light behind your eyes for the first time on spring break during 6th grade and I know this cuz I was in minnesota. I also remember crying. I know I knew the pumpkin pie motherfucker quote and "I got so emo I fell apart" around the same time too. also I knew about frank kicking gerard in the balls but I hadn't seen the lotms clip yet. I specifically remember at some point probably in the summer between 6th and 7th that I sat down and listened to revenge the whole way through in one sitting (and didn't remember half of it afterwards :/ ). I tried to do the same with bullets and I don't think I finished it but I remember liking cubicles best. I remember watching most of the music videos around this time too (somehow I blocked the sing video from my memory until I rewatched it and recognized it). I think the ghost of you mv was my fave video and crying when mikey died in it even though at this point I couldn't name any of the members. at all. I know after my first breakup I listened to i don't love you and disloyal order (fob) on repeat.

infodump over and I'm probably missing some stuff sorry for the wall of text :'D

as sincere as i could be: to be good and keeping it real

It is deadly hot here, all over Indonesia, and it's been all over week.

It is also getting sweatier with the fact that i've been waiting for my master's degree unconditional offers since last December, however none of it were here yet. Thus in the past few weeks, i just keep wishing and praying for the best, because seriously i had been telling everyone that i will depart on late August this year, and resigning per July. Hence, i must realize it, manifest it, and make it comes true.

Anyhow, last night i had a call with my prior co-worker, the nice one, the one truly care and feels like losing me when i was transferred without prior discussion nor notice back then on July. Let's call her Tess. At first she asked for my help to nudge one of my acquaintance. Then, our talks escalated to spilling teas, about how things carried out on the 7th floor. She literally told me, how those people, my previous co-workers, are now bossing around like professionals tho they actually aren't and being very childish. LOL. Guessed so, as they were being mean to those "outsiders" and "newbies", which not good at all. They were being bossy and complaining all the time, and they were also just keep talking and blaming others, while their works are not good at all. They were arrogant, as fuck, without realizing how they can be replaced all the time, well, most likely because they were greens yet they got so much power behind my boss.

One more shocking thing is that they were even blocked from some directorates, due to their attitude. I mean wtf, as annoyed as i am, as insincere as i am, i'm trying my best not to fuse any heat with anyone. Wtf man, it's fatal, like wtffff, i can't believe that those young people dare to bring up some problems, it is very fatal for them gosh, don't they get any of those professional guidance or something wtf.

On a final note, as sincere as i could be, i am trying my best to accept and be grateful for where i am now. As sincere as i could be, i am trying my best to be good all the time, to maintain good relationship, to not be bitter and finish all of my work well. To keep it real and keep it as frank as it could be. Because i realize that maintaining relationship with even the ones that we might feel like not worth to keep, is important. It is, once again, important to be good, to keep a low profile, to not be arrogant (which very hard for me as well indeed).

I realize how important my thrive for acquaintances, maintaining networks, and how it had come to my fortune as well. Those good people i met from various CSOs had recognized me as "the one" and they praised me, and they told me all the time that it will be very hard for them to let me go to my master's degree. Somewhat feeling content and satisfied, yet i also sorta cannot wait for it, because as sincere as i can be, again, i feel fed up witnessing the toxic environment in this office. Observing those practices of embezzling billions of rupiahs under the people's nose, toxic relationship and coordinators, infidelities, and unprofessional traits. Gosh, i really wish that i will find better place, more professional co-workers, better revenue and income, and better opportunities.

Thus, as sincere as i could be, i thrive to be good, and to keep it real, in spite of every storm of messed up things that comes after me. And please, i hope the missus will keep her word on taking me to Geneva in the next few months!

I've been following you guys for about a year and I've been wondering... How did PSI Scans come to be? What made the you decide to start the group? Do you still have all the members you started out with?... Etc. I'd just like to know more about the history behind your group, if you're ok with talking about it.

Thank you so much for asking!

We've just passed the two year mark from when this group was first created- so here's a timeline of PSI Scans history under the break:

Late October, 2015: eyfey received an anonymous message saying:

"A small (and by small i mean BIG) part of me wants you to translate saiki kusuo cause nobody's donating for it on spinyback to get translated (no i don't have the money to donate either) but that be dependent on whether YOU want to do it"

SpinyBackTeam was the group scanlating Saiki at the time, but it had been months since their last release, and no one was sure when the next release was coming out, if ever.

eyfey said they'd be on board to do translations if someone else would handle redrawing/typesetting.

October 27th, 2015Shortly after that message, seirui and milaza contacted eyfey, and the three of them formed a team and began working on chapters.

Sadly neither seirui or milaza stayed around past the first couple releases- leaving eyfey as the only founding member who's still currently working on the scanlations. Without seirui and milaza though, this group never would've been created and we never would've made it to where we are today

Late November, 2015At some point as we were working on the chapters, Spinyback re-did their website and ended up removing Saiki completely. We thought they had dropped the series for sure at this point, so we kept working at our slow slow pace.

December 9th, 2015Before we could make our first release, SpinyBack released a new chapter out of the blue! We has 4 chapters translated at this point and weren't sure whether or not to continue with the scanlation or just give up and let SpinyBack handle it... We decided to wait and see if they would start updating more regularly.

December 24th, 2015 Just for fun, eyfey solo'd chapter 33 for a special christmas release. (SpinyBack still hadn't released any new chapters since the one at the beginning of the month)

December 29th, 2015Spannersq joined the team to help with cleaning! (and did basically all the cleans for - Spannersq is still on the team today!)

SpinyBack still hadn't released any new chapters, so we decided to just go ahead and do it ourselves. (I still regret not messaging SpinyBack about it though. It didn't occur to me at the time, but it hindsight it was pretty rude to just start on a project someone else was already working on... we just desperately wanted people to be able to read more of this amazing manga.)

December 31st, 2015This was the day Spannersq came up with the name PSI Scans for our group! With a name we were finally ready to release some chapters!

Janurary 5th, 2016Our first official release! After 3 months of uncertainty, we finally released chapter 31~ ...in pretty poor quality. At this time, we were using low quality magazine scans as our raws and no one on the team really had any experience with cleaning or redraws.

Luckily! Shortly after our release, Otafreek joined us: bringing high-res raws and informative typesetting/cleaning guides, causing the quality of our scans to skyrocket. Otafreek also had raws for volume 0, so we were able to go back and translate those chapters as well.

...and that's not all! We also got another new member that day: Snazzyhelmet! Who joined as a translator!

Otafreek only stuck around for a chapter or so, but Snazzyhelmet has been doing translations ever since and is still one of our current active translators!

January 15th, 2016We released the first chapter of volume 0: our first high quality chapter!

March 26th, 2016No new chapters yet... eyfey and snazzyhelmet had been keeping up with translations (we were already done with vol0 and about 6 chapters into vol4) but unfortunately life had gotten busy for both Spannersq and Otafreek. Spannersq ended up taking a break for about a month, and Otafreek retired completely. In their absense eyfey took over typesetting, purchasing/scanning raws, and cleaning/redrawing.

March 28th, 2016We released the 2nd chapter of vol0! This was also the end of month long gaps between releases.

May 2nd, 2016The Saiki anime was announced! Spannersq was back cleaning at full speed and we'd been keeping up a steady release speed (about one chapter per week)

May 7th, 2016Le joined the team as our new typsetter, and took care of typesetting for most of the chapters in volume 4 + the first half of vol5 before retiring~

May 15th, 2016As we were getting close to the end of vol4, we decided to go back and re-do the first couple chapters of vol4 before starting on vol5 - it meant a few more weeks without "new" chapters, but this way we could have decent quality versions of all our releases.

This was also the day a Meho7 very generously donated raws for vol 7-8~

May 20th, 2016Misterquire joined as a redrawer - providing us with beautiful beautiful redraws for many months, but eventually retiring ;v;

July 4th, 2016The anime was released! This doesn't really have anything to do with the manga scanlation, but hype was up and the number of Saiki fans was increasing! (the anime managed to overtake us pretty fast though, and soon it was releasing episodes of stuff we hadn't translated yet TvT )

June 8th-9th, 2016Sroa joined as our 2nd designated redrawer, and a day later LAR joined as a cleaner! (Sroa was a huge help with redraws for the next couple months until they retired, and LAR is still an active cleaner today!)

July 16th, 2016Teleport-teapot joined as our 3rd redrawer! They brought us beautiful, fast redraws for months until they eventually retired~

July 18th, 2016Nashi joined and took over typesetting for Le and has been creating beautiful typesets for us ever since~(Nashi is currently one of our two active typesetters.)

July 20th, 2016Kamo joined as a 3rd translator- working hard until January, when they had to take a 10 month hiatus for computer problems, but that hiatus has just ended and now Kamo is back as one of our current active translators!

August 3rd, 2016Six joined as a translator, stuck around for a handful of chapters, and disappeared as mysteriously as they came~

August 19th, 2016On this day: Sisselwolfgang and maou-shoujo joined the team as beautiful beautiful beautiful redrawers. This truly was a golden age of redrawing for PSI Scans TvT

Sisselwolfgang worked for a good long time before eventually needing to take a break from scanlation, but Maou-shoujo is still consistently creating godlike redraws with us today!

October 31st, 2016Dollyl joined the team as a second typesetter, bringing gorgeous speedy typesets to us all~ Dollyl is still typesetting today alongside Nashi as one of our 2 current active typesetters!

At this point, we'd also passed the one year mark for the group! In that first year, we'd made it all the way to chapter 65- meaning we finished about 45 chapters total, if you include vol0 + the one shots~

To compare that with the previous groups working on Saiki: DarkMurmur = 11 chapters per year (2 years to finish the first 22 chapters)SpinyBackTeam = 12 chapters per year (technically they only did 8 chapters, but their pace averaged out to about one chapter per month)

So we were working at a pretty good speed- especially considering that we didn't actually release anything for the first couple months, haha.

November 22nd-23rd, 2016Miyo-sai joined the team as a translator, and Toumikasa joined as a cleaner!

Miyo-sai stuck around and translated a handful of chapters before moving on in life, but Toumikasa is still working as one of our active cleaners today!

Dec 15, 2016Ichi joined the team as a redrawer! They did a number of redraws over the next couple months before going on indefinite hiatus~

January 1st 2017,We decided to make the switch from ouph to offu starting in vol 9- since the author released a chapter with it spelled out as OFFU in English. So long ouph~ You will be missed~

April 1st + 11th, 2017Ykun and Jeddle joined as a translators! Both of them are still translating with us today!

May 10th, 2017Rupali joined as a redrawer- by this point maou-shoujo was the only other active redrawer.

Rupali is still with the group today, but is on a sort of semi-hiatus while they're busy.

May 22nd, 2017sefway3 joined as a redrawer! They're one of our few current active redrawers!

June 16th, 2017We finally reached the last chapter that was featured in the anime ;v; (almost a year after the anime first aired)

July 22nd, 2017peaceful-waldeinsamkeit joined the team as a redrawer! Hooray!

September 4th, 2017vulpi111 joined as a cleaner! Hurrah!

September 10th, 2017femalecorpse joined as a redrawer! Huzzah!

Peaceful-waldeinsamkeit, vulpi111, and femalecorpse are all still active members of the team today~

And that brings us to where we are today! We've just passed the two year mark of when the group was founded, and we've just released our 142nd chapter (including oneshots + omake chapters).

It's also worth mentioning, there are many many more members not on this list that have joined and left our team over the years: Some only doing one or two chapters before moving on, some who have joined recently but haven't started working yet, and some who joined and then left without ever finishing their first chapter...

Scanlating is hard work and it takes up a lot of time, plus most people who work on manga like this are also trying to balance school and/or jobs, so it takes a very dedicated person to be able to start scanlating and then stick with it. But even those who only finished one or two chapters before needing to retire were a huge help to getting us to where we are today! (but if I listed all of them this list would be way too long, so we're sticking to just the people who stuck around a little longer for now~)

But yeah! That's the history of this group!There's still a little over 100 chapters left to go, and more coming out every week, so it looks like we've still got at least another year at this rate before we catch up (though that could be much much sooner if we got more redrawers and translators...) But in any case, we'll keep doing our best to work hard until the day all of Saiki Kusuo has been translated into English!

Thank you all for reading!

Can't remember if I said this already or not, but I finished the drawing I had made, I'm just nervous about posting it XD Bianca's not really in Ch. 6 outside of the beginning if memory serves me right, so it doesn't exactly fit with the chapter but I might release it with the next update anyway

Incoming ramble, only adding the Keep Reading thing so this long post doesn't clutter my blog as you scroll haha, it's kind of an XXY mini-update but also just a blog update in general

I think my main thing is that initially, I wanted to keep my Tumblr & AO3 separate from my main accounts but my art style would very clearly give me away if you happened to find my main username. But at the same time I also...Don't really care??? Like I'm a very passionate person about the things I make, and while it may be seen as cringe or some stupid shit, without fanfiction, fan art and just fan work in general I would NOT be nearly as good at most of what I do as I am now. Fandom over the years has brought me a LOT of like, unruly mess, but it has also brought me so far along on my creative journey.

In fact, the only reason my username here & on AO3 is different is because I had felt a sense of like shame in it at first ig, especially since I started on AO3 posting XXY at 17 and wanted to be able to abandon the account if I felt the need to. (Don't worry, I no longer feel that need, I wouldn't have made a Tumblr blog for my fics if I did)

But now I'm the furthest into XXY than I ever have been, and Ik the pacing has been relatively slow (we've progressed a grand total of like...3 days within the span of 5 chapters XD) but a lot goes on in the beginning and dynamics are re-established for the characters and the Teen AU thing -- point is, I'm proud of how much work I've put in and with I believe a 22k word count by the time Chapter 7 drops, that's already a lot of work I'm proud of for me.

Also since G3's release last year I've been working on releasing my Monster High AU character designs around this October/November (1 each day for a total of I think 33? Cause Jackson & Holt and Meowlody & Purrsephone were gonna have their designs posted together, I have to double check my list), along with a few one-shots if I ever find time to get around to them, and those designs do NOT take a short amount of time for me to complete so I was gonna be like "idgaf" either way eventually XD

Thing is I like both of my usernames so instead of altering all of my accounts to one or the other, my main will be where I'm more professional and focusing more on developing a portfolio of completed works, whereas here I'll just be a little more unhinged lmao

Might make an alt Instagram to match this account so I can focus my fanfics and art and stuff over to that account XD But idk

Now enough about me and my self-reflections, here's what to expect next month:

Chapter 6 is looking just fine for release on July 7th, I'm feeling pretty good about it (probably because it's Butch's POV haha) and I'm excited for his and Buttercup's dynamic to really be shown off since Chapter 3 didn't have them around each other much. I've got an event to attend tonight and a couple of things to do tomorrow but I should be able to give Chapter 6 the usual final edit on Sunday.

Like I said before, I'll probably share my Bianca & Barbara drawing on the Chapter Update post and I'm hoping I'll have a drawing of our 6 leads by the time Chapter 7 rolls around. I've been very much in an art mood lately so it's been taking up a lot of my time, and I've also felt really rejuvenated by drawing to get back to writing little by little.

Also before you ask, unfortunately I might have an update gap between Chapters 7 & 8, as my writing has been very slow over the last 3 or so months. I do apologize for that, but I hope you understand. The last few months have been a lot on me to say the least, but I love sharing XXY with you all, and I just really enjoy seeing emails from AO3 when I check it pretty much every morning. I'm so happy to have others enjoy my work. That being said, I'll do my best to make the gap as small as possible, and hopefully I'll only have to skip a month or something.

Thanks for reading my rambles, and as always, the link to XXY is in my introduction post.
