I know I should have posted this months back but here's the thing. I will be putting this blog in a semi-hiatus mode.
Semi (but really more like two-thirds) because while the muse is going really strong, I'll be having even less free time to write when I start my job this month. Also at the moment, I'm wanting to prioritize other creative projects, mostly involving a One Piece OC I made a couple months ago.
And so with the even more limited free time I have, I'm not certain when I'll return to being fully active here. Maybe if I need a break from OP stuff, I will drop by here to work on the really really REALLY overdue replies (I'm really sorry) or engage in occasional dash shenanigans but I can't guarantee that'll be soon because I honestly feel very excited about these fics I'll be writing.
It doesn't feel right for me to actually say "goodbye" since I'm not actually leaving. It's more like taking a very very long vacay. I'm still available for IMs via my personal or discord which I am open to RPing as Kita or just have fun trading muse interaction ideas!!
But for now, thank you all for understanding! I absolutely miss and love every one of you. And I will see you later 💖
// I really miss being here. I'm having stronger urges to return to writing but I do have other creative projects that I want to work on as well so I'm not certain on how soon that will be.
So this isn't going to be easy for me to say. And I'm not really one to ask for help. But I'm currently in a very dire situation. I'll put the info here below a read more. Warning there is some negative stuff.

Long story short and to give context, I have been living with my ex boyfriend and our daughter. More so living in parents house. About a year ago, I was cheated on and dumped because my ex of several years had an online affair. For a while we decided to live together so we can co-parent our daughter.
I am currently disabled with a chronic pain condition that effects my spine that forces me to move very slow and hinders my ability to work greatly. Right now I'm working with a lawyer to help with a claim.
Originally I was told by my ex's family I could wait until my disability claim was approved by spring of next year (2025) Mind you that going home to my own family is out of the question. They have been extremely abusive both verbally and physically and they are refusing to let me back.
The issue now?? I'm being told I need to move out within the next 30 days (by November 19th, 2024) And I'm currently on the verge of being homeless.
All I want is to find a way to have a roof over my head and survive so I can be there for my daughter. Because of the financial situation she will be living with her father. It's just me that the is being kicked out of the household. I have contacted a social worker regarding this case.
Anyways I'm going to to provide links to my paypal account for anyone that wants to donate and kind of help. Any little bit would be greatly appreciated. Optional - In exchange the best I can offer is to make character art, sprite art, or custom icon folders.

This being said...if anyone is willing to give a temporary place to stay. That would be of help to. But in the mean time, just any financial help would be appreciated.
Today is one of bestie's birthday. Soooo I decided to make some gift art of both our Pokemon OCs. Lynn surely hopes the lavender chiffon pokepuff will be enough to suffice so she isn't yeeted into the woods again by Kita. jdkslakjl
anyways!
Aury, it feels like I have known you forever and I'm glad you have entered my life ^^
Chaos and Her Children (I'm sorry, I didn't really plan a sketch ahead so I couldn't fit Yuna in the eldritch fam group shot lol)
Wanted to make a post about Yuna's biological family. They are all originally Pokemon OCs, but Yuna's vague resemblance to their mother compelled me to put them in the OP verse as well. This is just a placeholder, but I like to refer to the children as The Chaos Sibs :D Excluding Yuna, the siblings take inspiration from the Velvet Room attendants (from the Persona series), the Three Mothers (from Dario Argento's films), Chthonic gods, and certain fears from The Magnus Archives.
Eriza
The mother. While she usually appears to others as a very tall and exceptionally beautiful woman clad in robes and with a gentle voice, she is actually an ancient, primordial god-like entity in disguise. Her true name is unknown but in the human language, it means "The Singer of Unreality." She is largely absent from her children's lives but nevertheless continuously watches over them from afar. Although she finds amusement in mankind's suffering and discord, she ultimately does not want its complete destruction. Her resemblance to Nico Robin is purely coincidental (during the time I created her, I was not into OP and was unaware of Robin's post-timeskip look).
Moira
The eldest. The most serious one in the family. She is a bit of a misanthrope, preferring to stay away from human affairs. She comes off as a stern and cold person, this being considered ironic by her family since she carries "the fires of hell" within her; her main power is to emit and control heat, to the point where anything or anyone she touches, breathes on, or is in her vicinity can burn into ash instantly. She can negate the usage of Busoshoku Haki, and quite painfully, making the user feel as though it is burning and melting off of them. Her animal symbol is the dragon. Her design is largely inspired by Sumika Warakubami from Kakegurui (because as soon as I saw her I just went "omg she looks like a perfect mix of Eriza and [insert father's name])."
Kita
The 2nd child. The most chaotic one of the children and the most involved with the human world. She is often seen hanging out with the Red Hair Pirates - having a brother-sister-like bond with Shanks - though she will occasionally spend time with the Thriller Bark Pirates as well, considering Perona like a daughter. Her powers are associated with darkness, ghosts, and nightmares; she becomes most powerful during the new moon and the solar eclipse. She can also attack by manipulating her sleeves, which includes being able to sharpen them into blades. She can prevent the usage of Kenbunshoku Haki. Her animal symbol is the cat (including big cats, especially panthers). She is the first of the siblings to meet Yuna when she was a child (although Yuna does not remember this).
Carmen
Was the youngest until Yuna was born. Uses male, female, and gender-neutral pronouns. They are similar to Kita in seeking fun and pleasure in the human world, often reveling in their festivities. They are like a walking mix of a mirror funhouse, a haunted house, and a kaleidoscope. They have the ability to induce hallucinations, influence ecstasy and madness, and generate glass shards out of thin air (this being dependent on how much light there is present). The glass shards can be used simply as attacks, build shields, and construct false realities. They can prevent the usage of Haoshoku Haki, or more accurately reflect its effect back at the user. Their animal symbol is the fox.
[Below cut are picrew images that served as insps & refs for their outfits (except Eriza)]:
be proud of your original characters. it's no easy task to create a character from scratch, to make them believable and real and human. it takes time. it takes dedication. so what if they aren't perfect right away? so what if there are still things you're only now figuring out after time? characters evolve, they go through changes and arcs and stories just like real people do. and it's okay if your character develops over time, you don't need to have it all figured out right away. there are some things that will only ever clear up after writing them for a while, finding their voice, and seeing the way they interact with other characters. but this is your character, your creation, and you deserve to feel proud about it no matter what.
