Hey, lovelies. Wanted to share a personal update. TW: Death

My mother-in-law passed away last week. This was a woman I knew for over 21 years. She lived over 800 miles away (and actually planned to move closer so she could be near her grandkids), which was why I had to make a long drive over the past weekend to try and pack up her place this week and get other affairs in order (which is going to be a lengthy process). Her service was yesterday and we plan to drive back home this weekend so the kiddos can get back to school and daycare Monday.

My hubby lost his father a few years ago and has no siblings. This loss of his mother has been, understandably, tough for him and family overall. The kiddos don't fully grasp what has happened. Between this and other things, I'm trying to stay strong for everyone.

As always, I write when I can and won't answer any fic update questions. Once they are ready, I'll share once available and hoe out when time allows.

Love you lovelies. Please take care! ❤️

Personal update

As you might have noticed, I usually try not to leave too much personal information about me on Tumblr. Both because I am a bit paranoid, and because I want to be known as an author, as Kal, the side of me that can use gender neutral pronouns, that can be creative, and vulnerable, and free.

So this post might come as a surprise, but I have this weight on my chest and honestly, I have almost no one to talk to in real life. Consider this a vent, or a confession on my part.

I have not been shy in admitting I suffer from some mental health issues, mainly anxiety and depression. I have also admitted that my games and the community around them have been the only thing to bring me joy the last few years - when the anxiety has quickly become debilitating and then completely crippling.

Most of my issues were due to my academics. You may not know this, but I was enrolled in Medicine (I think it translates to pre med school). It was my lifelong dream to become a doctor, however ever since I started uni, my life has been quickly falling apart. So, more than four years later, I have taken a decision that was incredibly suffered but which has lifted an enormous weight off my chest.

I am dropping out of med school.

And while I am aware I am far from the first person to do that, this decision feels so final. The burial of a dream that had become my whole identity. But even though I cried, and I mourned the loss of the doctor I could have become, I feel like I can finally breathe. And that is what matters.

This means that I will be taking a year off of school. So I will be able to dedicate time to therapy and maybe to working on TKH, if my mental health manages to get a bit better. I would like to do more commissions, maybe even set up montly content for Ko-fi supporters, but we'll see.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the joy you all have brought me over these past incredibly bleak years.

I think it’s time for a break. Not an official hiatus or anything like that, but time to take a step back. I’ve really been struggling on this platform lately, and that makes it really hard to be present in a way that’s meaningful or positive. I’ll still be around, but I’ll probably be a little quieter for the time being. Hopefully I’ll talk to you soon ♥️

Requests are CLOSED!!!

There is too much shit going on, i’m busy enough in real life, I have more than enough requests to work on along with multiple series to start plotting out and to be completely honest? Some of y’all have been pretty fucking annoying & demanding recently, so everyone has lost the opportunity.

Personal Update

Hey everyone hope you are doing good. We had a little bit of a scare over the weekend, came home to our doors wide open. Police came and searched the property and nothing seems to have been stolen but it kind of messed with what I thought was gonna be a free evening to finish everything up plus ruined the nights sleep for everyone. The patreon update is going to be delayed a couple of days and probably drop sometime this week while I install new locks and security. 

Thank you all for your understanding! I look forward to all of us taking these next few steps closer to a part of the outline for the Operative I simply have titled.

Reunion.

Hello shapeshifters! We've been quiet! It's 'cause we finally got COVID!

woooooo.

We're all fine now. Honestly it's a point of pride that it took nearly four years for the plague to get to us, and then only because we have a toddler in daycare now.

Anyway, if you're waiting on an email from us, that's why! I'm working my way through the ol' inbox today and there will be a massive shipment of binders in the middle of this week.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness, and understanding. What a way to start the year.

-Eli

Apologies for falling off the face of the earth, folks. I got all those lovely tags and notes for stuff and I am cherishing them very much for posting later; at the moment, I'm just a bit out of brain-space to engage with much of anything because my boss (whom I've known since I was sixteen, and was basically an uncle, except that I actually liked him) died last week quite suddenly. I'm coping, I'll be fine, I just wanted to update everyone because it felt weird not to.

Sorry.

In personal news, I have decided I want to phase out "she/her" pronouns for myself and solely use "they/them". In the past few years I've disliked more and more hearing people associate me with fem identifiers. So! Going forward, please allow this adjustment! When in doubt you can also just refer to me as "Vic". Thanks everyone!

Baking an apple cake because I’m 20 tomorrow (mild disgust at the passing of time, glee because I’m one year closer to being the old wacky maths teacher I dream of being)

Also fun little guys I crocheted

Sad Update Guys

Liberty's campus police finally figured out I was sleeping in one of the pc labs on campus and escorted me off campus (I'm not enrolled in any classes nor do I have some job on campus.) Thankfully because I told them I'm homeless, they offered to drive me out to a local shelter called Miriam's House so I could spend the rest of the night on their "porch".

I recently met with one of the Street Outreach agents from Miriam's House to explain my situation. She's gonna check and see what local programs I qualify for. I also visited the local Salvation Army's Center for Hope and filled out some paperwork as well, but am waiting for them to do an in-person interview with me.

So as of now I don't have a safe place of my own to stay at, and this is my first-ever night on the street. I haven't given up hope, but I am feeling super lonely and cried for a few minutes earlier. I'm gonna start offering commissions to try and get some money while I continuing appling for a job. I also have a Patreon where I offer mentoring in creative writing:

I’ve been reflecting on a lot of things during my slight “break” from Tumblr (you can see how good I am at actually taking a break from this place 🤪)

I think a major reason I was feeling so unhappy around here (besides PMS) is burnout. I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to produce content as if I’m a machine, and it’s taken all the fun and joy out of it. So moving forward, I have some goals for myself around here:

I’m going to try my best to write what I feel inspired to write when I feel inspired to write it, without any feelings of guilt attached. Whether that means I update my masterlist every few weeks or every few months, I’m not going to try to force myself to come up with ideas just so I can say I posted a new story.

I know it’s going to be very hard, but I’m going to try my best to detach from the number of notes my posts get, or the general level of engagement on my blog. Those things don’t define my worth or value, or my place in this fandom, and I’m tired of buying into the lie that they do.

Along that same line, I’m going to make an effort to stop comparing myself to other people in the fandom. Everyone has their place here, and I’m not less than just because my talents and skills are different than other people’s.

I’m sure I’ll still stumble and struggle with these things, but I’m going to make a genuine effort to keep these goals in mind from now on. And if anyone else is struggling with these things, know that I’m always available to chat ♥️

So I've started taking Zoloft about 2 weeks ago to finally take a step in tackling the anxiety that is withholding me from living my life the way I want to. Like I'm so fucking done with being in a constant mode of nothingness.

One of the things I've done today is sign up for theatre class, I've always been a theatre kid when I was younger but throughout my adolescence that changed because of my anxiety.

I'm taking back my life, one step at a time and eventually I'll be able to write and publish the stories you guys deserve. (I love writing vampire smut, my anxiety and depression just kept fucking me over to the point where I could do nothing but lay in bed watching comfort shows and sleep).

As a bit of a personal update, I graduated from law school this past weekend!!! 🤩

If you didn’t know — I got back on Tumblr during the spring of my 1L year after I reread acotar and decided we needed more Nessian content. Our little corner of the internet really kept me going, and many of the wonderful people I met on here have turned into some really amazing friends that I couldn’t have gotten through law school without. Major shoutout especially to @arinbelle, @talkfantasytome, @c-e-d-dreamer, @dustjacketmusings, @werewolffprince, @gimme-mor and a fuck ton of other people (GC I’m looking at you hehe) for helping me to push through.

I love y’all a lot and this summer I’ll be studying for the bar, so I’ll probably be less active BUT I’ll definitely still be writing to keep me sane. Can’t wait to get up to plenty more shenanigans and stay tuned for Cassian Week in July and Nessian Week in September 🩷
