& so, the story begins! @a-earthssprout - Tumblr Blog

🌻🍯 OOC. hello there, & welcome to the blog ! 💖 this pinned post has everything you might be looking for regarding Ari & the guidelines that this blog follows. a few quick things are provided below:

OC, MULTI - MUSE, MULTI - VERSE & CANON friendly ! 🌻

in case it is not understood despite otherwise mentioned, Ari is 6 YEARS-OLD ! please keep this in mind when sending asks / wanting to interact. mun, however, is 21+ ( 23, to be exact ! ) & despite there being absolutely no 18+ / nsfw content on this blog whatsoever, I do prefer to only interact with writers who are 18+. 😊

Ari is a child that loves nature 🌼🌿 often she’s found outside exploring & placing every little critter that she finds on her body to join her on her adventures. this means that she is often searching for or carrying around bugs, snails, harmless snakes, butterflies, frogs & other creatures alike, & that their company may come with heavy description of feeling and / or appearance in our threads. PLEASE let me know if you have triggers or issues with these sorts of creatures being mentioned in writing or otherwise & specify exactly what makes you uncomfortable so I know to not include it in our threads ! as for content on the blog, everything reblogged that includes the above will be tagged with a TRIGGER WARNING ( i.e. “bugs tw” ) your comfort is very important, so please do not feel bad reaching out with requests for anything to be tagged / things to not be mentioned 🌷

ACTIVITY can fluctuate due to mun’s current afflictions / things she do be goin’ thru. to briefly outline—mun is autistic, has ocd & anxiety, & suffers from chronic pain ( back, jaw, wrists ) sometimes I can get a little overwhelmed by these hurdles & need a bit of time to recover from flare - ups 😔 but I appreciate your consideration & understanding ! know that if you’re going through anything yourself, you always have my support & patience 😊

this blog is using the beta text editor w/ the Trim Reblogs function from XKit Rewritten. any threads that I have with those who are have not made the switch from legacy to beta / are still using Editable Reblogs from New XKit will be tagged as ' legacy post. ' these posts may not look as neat as others. to all legacy users who are writing with me: fair warning that our threads may look wonky ! 😥 feel free blacklist the tag ! thank you for your understanding 🌷

though I'm about 99% sure no one's looking at it anyway, just a tiny psa that Ari's carrd is temporarily down. something happened ( not sure what ) but the formatting is all ... 🥴

it is also in desperate need of an update, which I'm currently working on as I prepare for ... 🥁

my return 👀🌷

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( nearing the end of hell 🥺🍃 with better times on the horizon I feel #I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH 😭 & I miss writing my Bean 🥺🌷 )

tbh I think I've decided to have some belated celebrations for Ari's birthday on the new blog, whenever I make it ... if it's not too late, ofc 😭

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( I just want Ari to share her bday cake w/ all your muses 🥺 that's all )

that being said, Ari would certainly run around with her little cake & offer pieces of it to everyone 🥺 she loves to share 🌷

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( my tags are GONE but pretend this is going into her abt tag aodnakdmsk )

emergency after emergency ... woe after woe ... 😓 it doesn't ever seem to end for me. while I hoped to be moved & back by now, there's just no way for that to happen atm ...

but ( & many thanks to Sammy / @balladccr / @badboysupr / w/e blog you're on rn osndskdk for remembering 🌷 ) ... happy birthday, Ari 🥺🌱

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( it's the second year that I've missed this sweet girl's special day ... 😭#life just won't let me have fun right now 😔#know that I REALLY don't expect anything to be sent in today--esp considering I definitely won't be celebrating /#don't know how long it'll be before I can get to anything #but if a little something happens to appear ... I might do some belated celebrations by taking #that little something over to the new blog 🌷#but I lava you all. I miss being here so much & I really hope to be back soon 🍃#I think we are in the final stretch of Plights ... or at least I hope 😓 so perhaps you'll be seeing me & the little one #around again real soon c: )

peeks head in ... I miss all of you & my sweet, sweet girl terribly 🌷🥺

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( Ari's birthday is on the 19th ...#I wonder if I should prepare to come back by then. thinking ... thinking ...#I hope you all are doing well! )

unfortunately ... this wait might turn into a whole hiatus 😔

I don't want to speak too soon, but ... something pretty big just happened in my life, & I'm not exactly sure what it's going to bring ... lots of stress, undoubtedly ... chaos is also almost promised ...

I'm safe & my family is safe, don't worry ! if you've been here for a while, you'll know that my house has been in disarray for months now. what's going on now is just pt. 4726 of that 😭 we--apparently--can't catch a break no matter how hard we try ...

I will admit that there are other things that are contributing to my lack of want to be here, but again ... I'm not trying to make Ari's space a negative one, even though I don't intend to be active for ... God knows how long, really 😔

since this hiatus is a result of a combination of things, I can't exactly say when I'll be back ... it may be just a quick storm to weather, or it may be a few weeks ? I just can't say 😭 but ... thank you to everyone who has been so supportive & understanding during this time. I hope to see you on the other side of this dip--at the top of the hill, I suppose ...--whenever that may be ... 🌷

I hope )

this blog will soon be archived & Ari will be moved to a fresh one, same url & everything. I'm not sure exactly when I will make this move--perhaps when I can finally muster some inspiration to write something, which is certainly not now--but all relationships & plots will move with it, along with a handful of asks & threads. everything else will be abandoned here.

to everyone who has been waiting months & months for a response from me: I'm sorry 😔 I know that I should have been better about replying--more on top of things--but instead I let things get on top of me. I can sit here & promise you that I'm interested in interaction still, but it helps to also feel it, yes ? 🥺 I've not done a good job ... & I hope, with this move, to be much better about this.

again, thank you all for your endless support & interest. when the new blog is made, I hope to see you there ! 🌻

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( still the intention 🥺 )

#( 🌸 | ooc // .mobile. )#( tbh late hours at my new job haven't been the only thing getting in my way ...#quality of life--as we know--is not linear & I suppose I am currently on a downswing 😔#such is only a natural part of the human experience ... & it is likely to start climbing back up eventually #it's a comforting thought at least #but I'm not going to go into detail as to why I'm so sad. it's not the place for that 🌱#but I also don't want to keep lying--keep masking--& telling everyone I'm doing okay & making false promises #with the hope that I will be okay soon. not only is this unfair to you all but it is also unkind to myself #Ari's place is supposed to be a happy wholesome one & no matter what I'm going through ... I do intend to keep it that way 🌷#I'm sending what little positive energy I have to all of you & hope to see you around again real soon 🍃 )

🥀🍯 EXPLANATION FOR THE RECENT BOUT OF INACTIVITY HERE ! hello, everyone 🌷 I hope you’re have a wonderful day ! yes, I know I don’t really have to explain any silence here, but I do feel comfortable providing some reason from time to time, since the lack of activity here isn’t actually because of a lack of muse 🤔 I’ve had PLENTY of muse for Ari & am eager to get back to writing here ! 🌼however … as you may have heard when I mentioned it a few weeks back, I recently started a new job. it’s real lovely & I thoroughly enjoy every minute spent there—I’m real lucky to have found such a place in RETAIL !—however … the hours are not like the ones at my old job, which were far more … suitable ? 👀

I’ve shared here many a time before that the best time for me to write is in the early, early morning, but this job has me walking out of there at, like, 10pm some nights, which really isn’t conducive to waking up early 😭 before I could adjust my availability, however, I had to kind of … settle into the job. I think that might have finally happened ! 🙏🌿

so yes … that’s my rather anti - climatic reasoning behind the lack of writing lately. I’ll be submitting my updated availability today, so hopefully within the next couple of weeks, things will start to change & I can get my writing rhythm back ! 😊

as always, thank you all so very, very much for your endless support & interest here 🍄 it means the world to me that people still want to interact with Ari despite my slowness ! I hope to be here much more soon 💐

#( ❀ | ooc )#( they've adjusted my schedule to suit my updated availability 😭#I love this job sm. there are literally no words to describe how grateful I am! 🌻🍃#can't wait to be back here & productive. I've barely written a thing for the entire month of march! 😳 )
