tua3 was so tough. within the year it after it came out -- june 22 2022 - june 22 2023 -- just 2,679 works under the fandom tag were updated on AO3. that may seem like a decent chunk, but compare this to the relatively even distribution between july 31 2020 - july 21 2021 (the year after season 2 came out), where 5,326 were updated, and february 15, 2019 - february 15, 2020 (the year after season one), where there were 5,637. tua used to have one of the most vibrant, collaborative, active fandoms i've ever had the pleasure to be in, and the sheer mediocrity of season 3 seemed to just take a wrecking ball to that community pretty much overnight. literally cut its fanfiction output in half. still makes me sad.

#and this is works updated. like people are abandoning their fics. ive never seen a fandom implode so badly. #i still keep up with a couple of fics but i don't engage with tua much anymore and it just makes me sad. #it consumed about 70% of my life during lockdown and now i barely care about it :( #the umbrella academy

i just need everyone to know i just wrote a jangobi idea in my fic ideas doc for the first time in almost two years

#getting emotional about how important this little community was to me #i miss y'all #and i dont miss lockdown but i do miss how it brought all the nerds together for a time #cj updates #delete later #dont know why it's so hard for me to come back to sw stuff tbh #also technically it was my SECOND fic ideas doc cause my other got so big mobile gdrive would get angry with me #and it took SO long to scroll to the bottom that id literally forget ideas #.... anyway

Why is my stupid idiot brain sunk to the very bottom of the sea bed like whale fall. I'm on extra strength medication, I'm staying off social media, I'm surrounded by kittens. And yet. My anxiety has turned into full blown agoraphobia and I'm so depressed that getting out of bed is a feat I only achieve because my cats need feeding.

It's been almost seventeen years of being bipolar but I still can't internalise that mood disorders are actual illnesses that disable and debilitate as much as any physical disease. Clearly the only thing wrong with me is that I'm not trying hard enough to crawl out of this. If I really wanted to get better I'd fight through my anxiety and back pain and sensory hell and do stuff like go to therapy, eat healthy, exercise and get a job.

To make matters worse, my brain keeps hollering that I'm 37 this year and no closer to joining the rest of the job-having, rent-paying, independent adult world. The fact that I've been in a consistently worsening mental health crisis since 2020 to the point that I was in greater danger than I've ever been of committing suicide the first six months of last year is clearly irrelevant. Somehow.

Tbh, if it wasn't for my rescue kittens, I'd be regretting that I didn't just go through with it. Not enough to go through with it now, but regretting it all the same. But I do have my kitties so I can't regret it. Instead, I'm just resigning myself to the fact that having something to live for, even when I don't want to, is the best I'll ever get.

#time is a terrible thing when your life stalled at age 20 #or rather it feels that way #because Ive never been able to build on anything I ever did afterwards #went abroad for college and flunked out #got married and got divorced #found friends and lost them all #tried community college and had to drop out again #got a part-time job‚ left and then only had the health and opportunity for one freelance job #between moving out‚ covid lockdowns‚ divorce going south and national economic crisis #my last good year was 2018 #and i wasn't even diagnosed or treated yet back then #losing my #entire adult life to disability is a grief i don't know how to process #personal #tw suicide mention #knee of huss #life update

hello i just read twice as many stars i am going FERAL the way azula takes pride in her younger years despite knowing it was a toxic environment vs zuko HATING what he was when he was younger oh oh oh i love fire siblings you have ruined my month this fic is all im going to be thinking about

NOT TO MENTION THE OCS. THE OCS! YOUR OCS! why would you put us (and yourself) through this torment pls have mercy but also i love your brain i wish i could express this in a coherent way but gosh truly your writing is phenomenal.

i think its a lil funny that ive been meaning to read the art of burning since i first watched atla in like peak lockdown bcs everyone and their damn mother recs this fic but i didnt want to venture into a fic thats unfinished but then recently with atla renaissance with the live action i was like ykw fuck it if everyone's singing its praises i have GOT TO READ IT but also then i saw that it was like 10 chaps away from being finished so i thought might as well wait a bit longer but TAMS WAS SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT I COULDNT RESIST U DONT UNDERSTAND THE URGE and i am so glad now that i did bcs i am: obsessed and im finally FINALLY GOING TO READ TAOB WISH ME LUCK

GIGGLING AND BLUSHING RN

this is so so kind, im so glad you like it so far!! and specifically the comment about my ocs I AM KISSING YOUUUU this ask is singlehandedly gonna get me back to writing tams i mean it <3 and good luck w taob!!! you will need it god bless x

#sorry to my atla people ive got the most ATROCIOUS writers block atm like it's not been this bad in timeeee #to the point im barely even getting through dog teeth despite actively being hyperfixated on it like do u know how insane that is #the bitch who wrote 300k words in lockdown bc of a hyperfixation is struggling to write despite having a hyperfixation. i need a doctor #BUT i do mean it i miss tams in particular bc at least the taob crowd know updates take ages whereas tams i liked being more #consistent and frequent with. I PROMISE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING SOON #and this ask genuinely has reminded me how much i love that fic. tams in my future? tams in my future please queen? #ask #tams asks

"Flaer is out there trying to find him now, Azus...if any one can find Satan, we know its Flaer...but that's probably as good as its going to get right now."

"I know...you have to know how appreciative I am of this. Considering everything that is going on...I know you need to worry about the children too."

Lilith sighed, patting Azus' cheek gently. "You are family too, Azus. I know how worried you are right now, with Pythius and Satan...the family is almost all accounted for, even the Corrupted ones. They are contained for now on Gaea and there is not much we can do to help them."

The demon prince runs his hands through his hair with a slow exhale. "How is Zaz...? Is the compound completely shut down now...?"

Lili winces. "Honestly...it was only a matter of time. Once one of the great grandchildren came back with the Corruption, it spread everywhere...the last contact we had from him was the day after Pythius."

"We're containing the spread to parts of Pythius' domain as much as possible...let us hope it does not get worse."

#{Azus -drabble-} #{Lili -drabble-} #~smol interaction between Azus and Lili #~they were both active and I wanted to do a semi update on San's missing status and the status of some of the Dresiae #~essentially Zaz's compound is now on lockdown and Lili's children are scattered as always #~there was no point in trying consolidate them all to one area cause there's too many of them #~so all of her children and the generations are hunkered down in whatever realms they are in #~though a good majority are in Gaea #~San's status as corrupted isnt comfirmed but its assumed at this point #{q}
