#her exact text was 'oooooh that makes sense!' and she dropped it right away lol

Hi. This is so late and I’m a failure oops. Cause while me missing last week has an excuse (ala my siblings coming to visit so i wasn’t around a whole lot lol) me missing the week before that was just being too lazy to make a post. So I’m here to (hopefully) fix that. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of writing’s been done to my ever expanding displeasure, but I did get some minor stuff done before the visit so you can all have some minorly angsty chrashley for my last kiss prompt to tide you over.

And yet, despite the near-panic with the pork, the rest of the morning had gone well enough that Ashley actually felt brave enough to leave the safety of her home for the first time since the mountain. It had taken a not insubstantial amount of time to try and convince Saundra of that fact though, almost an hour of begging and pleading and even then she only barely relented. The fact that the place in question would be the Hartley residence meant very little to her, only agreeing after Ashley swore that they would turn around or leave the second it looked like she was about to start freaking out.

And yet, while she had agreed to any and all stipulations in a heartbeat, Ashley almost hadn't been able to even make out the threshold of her own front door. When she turned around after locking the door behind her, the sight of the thick and heavy layer of freshly fallen snow was nearly enough to make her want nothing more than to bury herself under the safety of her blankets. The sharp whistle of wind through the couple of trees just in front of the building certainly hadn't helped matters either. Involuntarily, her body froze on the front step as she held her breath. The only reason she was able to move again after that was the realization that although the sky was fairly overcast, they didn't come out to hunt during the day and she was safe. Still, she tucked her head down onto her chest and all but ran to the idling car at the end of the sidewalk. Just in case. 

The second she opened the passenger-side door, the warm air buffeted against Ashley as she practically threw her herself in the vehicle. The warm air was like a wall, strong and thick enough that it made her feel safe again and she let out a sigh of relief and was brought back to her senses just in time to see the suspicious and worried frown on Saundra's face.

Due to seeing a couple of my sibs for the first time in nearly four years, I also didn’t get any time to sew either. But considering my last sewing update I was barely even half-done with baby timon, it’s a decently large improvement nonetheless. Fully finished previously mentioned timon, added an arm to a sentient bell, half of a purple ball of literal ghostly gas, and got a magnet boy looking—dare I say?—magnetic. So pretty close to finishing this page all in all, just three more pokemon left to fill in before I can finally move on to the last one for this particular quadrant!

#wip wednesday #my writing #cross-stitching #until dawn #pokemon #at least one fun result happened with my siblings coming to visit #the day after they arrived back home my sister texted me to let me know that i had won her over #and she had immediately boughten the dark pictures games that were available lol #so far she's only played house of ashes and little hope though #and hoa she played here #she did say that she liked lh though and when i asked about her thoughts for the ending #she said that she liked it actually! #she (like me) hadn't expected the ending at all and enjoyed the twist #she did admit that she thought that the diner would be more important because i pointed it out to her when she played hoa as a callback #but when i explained that it was likely more of a fun callback and proof that dpa stuff likely existed in the same universe #her exact text was 'oooooh that makes sense!' and she dropped it right away lol #told her that the devil in me was probably gonna be releasing in hopefully october this year #and that a bunch of us on here were freaking out about the quarry releasing in june and that it was gonna be a spiritual successor to ud #though whether or not she remembers any of that and looks into is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #but the important thing is that i brought an actual family member into this fun little obsession of ours lol #apparently she also played the walking dead game and borderlands too so she'd fit right in sdkfhjdsjkh #hell! she's doing even better than me in that regard sjdfkhskddhfksdfhj
