#recently realized I never got around to reblogging this- this cannot stand #Heysel is an amazing character and a joy to unravel in her many forms. She's a long and so very satisfying puzzle to piece together #Furthermore: the mun is one of my favorite writers AND artists. Her style is so distinct and beautiful on both sides #an absolute joy to talk to and to write with- and damn funny #friend promo #yellowfingcr

// Here's the new Elden Ring blog!

#ooc #I'll reblog a promo once I have one #for the time being: take this sneaky link to the new blog #remember it's a pretty early WIP #I'll be taking the verse off this blog after a while

[yeleltaan]

// Hello again! As you might recall, I've been meaning to make a new blog for Cayin's Elden Ring verse in hopes of better exploring its themes and aesthetics without diluting those of Cayin's main verse.

I wanted to take this soft "reset" as a chance to overhaul the presentation, make a blog that looks thematic, something that drives home some of the topics covered with just a look. Alas! As excited as I was to implement all these ideas, I've been struggling with motivation and focus for long enough to realize that I can't match my old expectations.

I've also come to the conclusion that if I wait until I'm satisfied with the blog (until it feels "complete" if you will) and continue to let my writing grow rusty and miss opportunities to write with my friends, I might very well never return to the hobby in this form.

With that in mind, I've decided to launch the new blog as a WIP. It's not going to be as fancy as I wanted, but I'm not waiting any longer to write! This isn't a decision I've made lightly as I'm very reluctant to make my work public when it's in an early state. I hate it!

But having made a lot of progress enjoying other creative outlets of mine, and having been unable to be a consistent writer for a little longer than... two years?? I think that taking the plunge is my best chance of solving this.

Now, this might feel a little strange to say so explicitly, but I want to make the following as clear as I can:

If you like Cayin but aren't interested in his Elden Ring version, there's no need to follow the blog. I understand the setting's not for everyone and you're free to enjoy this blog (yeleltaan) without engaging with the other one.

Likewise, if you like Elden Ring and are interested in the ER verse, but don't feel that interest towards Cayin's main verse, it's also perfectly fair to follow the new blog and not follow this one.

For newcomers: I understand that a blog lacking a proper about page and other information isn't easy to get into. It's in the works and I hope to be able to make the blog more welcoming for everyone sooner than later. Until then, feel free to message me for a short introduction to the character, I'll be happy to give it.

It's going to be a slow process, and I'm not sure how effective this change of attitude will be, but I still think this is the best move I can take. I'll be linking the blog shortly!

#ooc #long post I know but you know me :y #it's been like this for so long I just want to change it #I don't have the most energy or focus but I do have a lot of perspective I didn't before #here's hoping that will tip the scales #also: while I fully intend to welcome new interactions #it's going to be easier for me to start with a few people who have gone out of their way to continue to plot and discuss ideas #even all this time in which I've had trouble being proactive #really... I owe it to them tbh. But even if I didn't it just comes more naturally to me to write in those circumstances #that being said just as I've been so low activity I know others have struggled with this too #some period of silence isn't going to suddenly make me not care about what we had been doing up to that point #anyways! I hope you're all doing alright #if not then may that change soon :]

Happy late bday!!

// Thank you Gio!! It was indeed happy -u-

#ooc #infernalpursuit #I need to look into my vaults for more crocodile-based reaction images. I like to make my joy a very visual thing :]

// happy birthday again! double cayin time

// AAAAAAAAAHHHHH look at them!! Two wonderfully squishy Cayins being Birthday boys.

I love them, I love this pic and I love you. Thank you for this gift, it's so delightful and colourful ;u;

#I love the differences in their attitude! Main Cayin looks like he's having a good time. Looking amused and thankful #he welcomes his party hat quite happily #ER Cayin looks intrigued! Maybe he's not sure how he feels about all the attention. He's studying this new custom carefully tho #LOVE that little fang on his mouth and the gentle scales on his cheeks. Incredibly cute #Your art is always a joy. Seeing you dedicate your amazing skill (and the consideration of the act!) to him is forever sweet and flattering #thank you!! 8] #yellowfingcr #friend art

Happy belated birthday!!

// Thank you very much!!

#ooc #today hasn't been as big but it's still been pretty eventful! #I was out for the majority of the day so it took until now for me to be able to hop on Tumblr to respond #creatix-mea

@necrophcge @kanawolf

// Thank you! It was such a good day, I couldn't have asked for anything better 8]

#ooc #went to bed before I could respond to this #went to bed thinking how good it was- it really was that lovely and I'm very thankful

[yeleltaan]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD ONE.

// Thank you my friend, it's been lovely. Relaxing time spent with family and very, very good food.

#ooc #well- I say relaxing but with no time to spare! #It's just that it's all been really pleasant #the sort of Birthday you remember and look back fondly on #derjaegermond

// It's that day of the year again my friends. It's my Birthday!!

It's been a little over a month since my last post, so I wanted to take the chance to let you know how it's been. Since the end of the previous semester, I've been getting back into my hobbies in full, engaging in a lot more physical activity as well as finally putting into practice so many ideas I've had for tabletop games and miniature painting. It's been a pretty significant change and I'm very happy for it.

Writing has resisted me though, as well as making the new blog for ER Cayin. I've found very little motivation to work on it save for a few rare days to my frustration. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what to do about it, what can help get back that drive to write.

I'm not going to mark any deadlines or make promises about what you can expect because I'm tired of having to go back on my previous predictions. Still, I don't want this to sound pessimistic. I'm going to figure out what to do, and I'm only getting closer to that realization.

With that out of the way, let me reassure you that regardless of any setbacks and concerns throughout the way, I feel good. And I've been feeling very fulfilled in places outside this hobby. Now I want to make the same positive change affect this part of my life, too. Have a good day everyone!

#ooc #don't have much time left to talk- this week is a busy one! Just not studies-busy :] #but yeah here's hoping you'll be seeing me here more often soon #I've been well and I hope the coming days treat you kindly too

#there she is! #I can never get enough of Helena- this verse is no different #genuinely though: even if you're not that much into Elden Ring #if any of the concepts covered interest you please take a look #Cat has done a fantastic job at adapting her to the setting #but just the character herself as well as the worldbuilding and storytelling that the mun has added to the world to her own credit #are by themselves worth reading #one of my absolute favorite writers. Endlessly committed to the believability of Helena's characterization #to the coherence of her systems. The inner workings of every piece of her story #tremendous work. And to top it all off Cat is a joy to talk to- if you offer her your interest and creativity she will return it twofold #hexenjagd #friend promo

//Alright, I can finally say it: I'm done with exam season!

While the next semester will start very soon, it's going to be (at least in theory) a very different experience for me going forward. Much less uni work to do, more time to work on my health, my habits and my personal projects. I expect the greater amount of spare time and a (hopefully!) better state of mind to translate into my hobbies.

Like I've mentioned before, I'm making a new blog for ER Cayin, while all interactions and headcanons for other verses (including main/Bloodborne) will remain here. I also expect to start writing here more often soon, though I'd like to focus on the blog first.

As always, feel free to message me if you want to plot, I'm always down for that. See you soon, have a nice day!

#ooc #FINALLY #very familiar story I know- just the cycle I've been in for a while #but this semester I've seen a lot of progress and the end of the degree isn't far. It's helping a lot with burnout #apologies for the quiet! I haven't been around much lately #and so I've barely interacted with other blogs outside of when I was tagged or I was sent a link to check things out #this should start changing gradually #thank you for your patience! #-reblogs-
