HEART'S COURAGE HIATUS

Hello! I have not been on here for a while, not beyond re-blogging a few posts. Joining University has been a ... wild ride. 10/10. Would not recommend.

Heart's Courage was the first fic I wrote - not the first I published, but the first I wrote. it's my baby. But in two years, I have also grown as a writer, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not finish the story as it is. I really want to rework it. I don't want to abandon it, but I can't complete it as it is now.

I am not going to be changing everything - the basic premise will remain the same, but I want to do a better execution of it, so to speak. I will put the fic in a hidden collection in 3 days. I don't know for sure when I will be revealing it, but I'd like to do it by July if everything goes well.

Thank you all so much for all the love you have shown my work. I cannot express in words how much each comment has lifted me up on a bad day. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the love.

Much like Welcome to Nightvale, I feel like a lot of people have forgotten just how big and influential Yuri on Ice was. It fully broke into the mainstream. It was everywhere. Evgenia Medvedeva, the top female figure skater in 2016 and 2017, had YOI plushies thrown to her on the ice and wore a Victuuri tshirt to an interview. Japanese pair skaters Miu Suzaki and Ryuichi Kihara skated to the YOI theme at the fucking Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics. The Olympics. Canadian ice dancer Joseph Johnson did the ‘J.J. Style’ hand symbol in the kiss and cry. Johnny Weir made me cry by talking about how he wished the homophobic world of figure skating he experienced could have been more like the kinder world of Yuri on Ice.

There were cameos and references to it everywhere. Everyone was talking about it. People who had never watched anime were watching it. It was so big it crashed Crunchyroll and Tumblr. Twice. And all that for what was at its core, a queer love story that helped pave the way for more queer stories to come.

#yuri on ice #yoi #i got a little fired up at the implication that voltron was somehow #more iconic than yoi #objectively untrue statement #anyway yoi healed my queer heart and helped me find the courage to come out to my family

a silly shoujo concept with jade where he picks up your notebook after you've left it in class. resourceful eel that he is, he flips through the pages out of curiosity. he's certain he'll just find your notes or doodles you've made out of boredom, but it never hurts to pry just a little. he won't tell a soul if he finds anything embarrassing. certainly not!

to his surprise, he finds a bucket list of sorts, which details all of the things you hope to accomplish by the end of your time at nrc. you're quite methodical about this list. there are academic goals. personal goals. social goals. you've checked some of them off: do well on this year's midterm. commit to an exercise routine. make more friends. etc. etc.

but then he happens upon the romantic goals. things like holding hands, kissing, cuddling, going on dates, sharing meals... he reads through every item on this specific list and finds himself blushing like a lovestruck maiden. it's not because of the nature of this list but, rather, the notes you've made in the margin: possible people to try this with: jade leech?

and his name is the only one you've written! :O is this...an indirect love confession? do you have feelings for him? is now a good time to hopefully try to kindle a deeper bond with you after he's spent so much time pining from the sidelines??????

tl;dr - jade wants to be the one to complete the goals on your romance list, but you're too prideful (and suspicious of him) to admit you'd ever think of him in such a light! that's too embarrassing! too much opportunity to be exploited. and jade's a bit of a shameless coward.

so he decides there's only one solution: he's going to try to court you. the mer way. the human way would be much too obvious, after all. ^^;;;;

#meraki mumbles #the climax to this story is that you both spend all of your years at nrc fooling around and toeing the line of romance #it's a 'will they won't they' when it comes to possible confessions #and it all comes together at graduation when jade finally confesses after four long years :) #jade who gets drunk because he needs the liquid courage or else he'll ramble #and maybe everyone's doing karaoke #party the weekend before graduation week #jade grabbing the microphone and drunkenly confessing his heart out #OOOOO HE'S SO *squishes him* #forgive so many ramblings... the eel is living rent-free again

Thank you cass, your series has really created such a happy little fandom that I find is not my safe space. You have inspired thousands of artists and if it weren’t for you. A lot of people wouldn’t be where they are now. I’m excited to see what else you make, rise or not. You’re an incredible person and I’m glad I was able to follow along this comic. It truly gave me something to look forward to.

Thank you, cass

‘I’ll be grinding a conclusion animatic…

#rottmnt #cass apocalypse series #cass apocalyptic au #I mean it when I say that cass apocalypse means so much to me #it was the first rise comic I started reading #I’m so glad I stumbled across you and tapa #I was going to do a university degree in psychological science knowing it’s not what I want. because I want to be an animator #but because of you and tap #I finally gained the courage to do what I want #and now I found comfort in animating and making things for people. #your little dynamic makes me so happy and I feel honoured to have been able to witness it #thank you #from the bottom of my heart. thanks you.

To send Jiang Cheng away was understandable, justified even. The Wens would hunt down the Jiang Heir, and his safety would assure the future of their sect.

However, making a last stand at Lotus Pier would not save YunmengJiang.

Wei Wuxian feels his heart race, his breaths coming in rapid gasps, as he thinks of his shidis and shimeis. His martial siblings, who in all respects, are the responsibility of the Head Disciple. His responsibility.

They need to evacuate.

His mind quiets, settles. From within his sleeve, he brings out a talisman, the cinnabar still fresh from being drawn this very morning, and as Yu-Furen embraces Jiang Cheng, lets his qi set it into action.

Skeptic Velma who treats science like iron clad rules that can't be broken, is extremely close-minded and doesn't believe in the supernatural: boring, overused, nothing new, not funny at all, girl you know that is NOT how science works Believer Velma who gets SO HYPED about the ghost haunting this bank that she barges in with a home made ghostbusters ghost vacuum backpack, has a little recorder where she makes her observations about what kind of creature this is; Is it a poltergeist? Is it a haunted object left behind in one of the safes acting up?? Is it a secret murder??? She doesn't know but she will damn well find out!!! She has sample tubes where she puts all that glowing goo that is all over the floor and a EMF meter attached to her waistband. Then she is later super disappointed that it was actually the manager trying to scare people away so he could steal from the coffers: New, innovative, would watch a whole show where she is like this, a true scientist spirit

My Oswald Kingdom Hearts design!

Here's my design for Oswald for the 1st Kingdom Hearts game. I'll probably make changes once I get to work on the KH arc. (But he will be mentioned in the Twst arc. So check out the script on my profile when you get the chance.)

[acknowledgetheabsurd]

I have just received your letters from Monday and Tuesday. Yes; my darling, this patience is exhausting, and I imagine and understand so well your jolts, your suffocations, and the immense silence that hovers around you and in your efforts towards a being whom you love and cherish. Thank you, my darling - thank you for giving me so generously your heart and this part of life that would be forbidden to me if our love were not absolute. You may. Jela understands and I also love her in a slightly shaky way and with all my delicacy. Patience. Courage. Soon there will be no more snow on the roses and the sun will soften this continual struggle. As for the rest, I don't know. No matter how much I turn and turn the problem, I can't see anything. But, for the moment, don't dwell on it. Forget everything, let yourself go. Forget about me as much as you can. Be as happy as you can. Work and do whatever you feel you can do. I'll always be close to you. See you tonight, my dear love.
