Genuine question.

Soo... I have a fic on ao3 that I haven't updated in two years. N someone commented just to ask about collaborating to make a comic out of it. I only have one chapter uploaded and still working on the second chapter.

But, my main question is, what would be the best wording to turn them down? I don't want to seem too mean but, I do want to be firm. It would be nice to have this turned into a comic, but I literally only have a single 4k word chapter out.

Their art does seem legit, but I just don't have the time nor energy to be a creator right now, I'm literally on the cusp of starting my nursing program.

I hate having to repeat myself so the universe gave me a deaf best friend to make me overcome that personal flaw

Boutta get personal for a lil bit,,,

But the show, The Pitt, yes?, especially that moment with Santos in the bathroom in the recent episode, reminded me about too much.

BTW, im going to talk about seld-harm.

I always thought i was a little pathetic because I still cut myself despite being a nurse aide, and despite being on track to become a nurse in the next two years yk? How can I take care of others when I still do this to myself.

I always thought I'd grow out of it, but its like a bad habit that wont go away, and I've only recently tried counseling to help it. Even then im not comfortable telling my counselor everything that's wrong, because if I do, then he might have to call the cops and put me in a hospital, which I don't have time for yk. Im busy with school, and I don't want my parents to worry.

But it gets harder every time its mentioned, and every day I get closer to becoming a real nurse, a real adult. Cuz, to me, my self harm was a childish thing that I'd eventually forget about and grow out of. It doesnt help that when I did tell one of my close friends (tho I didnt help the situation by trying to make it light-hearted) why I started self-harming, she laughed at me. Or when I told my other close friend that I believed i was going to hell for liking girls when i was younger, they also laughed at me.

It feels like I should be mature and stop doing such a childish act, that im just trying to draw attention towards me, and that im just an attention seeker. But its not like anyone's noticed for the past seven years, but still.

I thought I'd grow out of it already.

Ive been having some financial worries these past few days, so bad I they've bled over into my dreams 😭

Tell me why Shanks, his crew, AND Mihawk were my sugar daddies

Im starting to forget what you look like

Inspo here

[akiko-asce]

This my last semester of being free before nursing school... last semester of being cool.... I have to take out all my piercings and cover my tattoos and stop thinking about the ASL brothers and One Piece and actually lock in....

[akiko-asce]

I had a very intimate dream with Jabber Wonger and now I'm conflicted.

[akiko-asce]

So,,,

My Dad (convicted felon) can't vote, but Trump (convicted felon) can become president?

Make it make sense.

[akiko-asce]

Guys...

I think I just have a thing for older brothers...

Ace & Sabo (One Piece), Neteyam (ATWOW), Vergil (Devil May Cry), Kwei (Predator: Badlands), Kyoujuro & Sanemi & Michikatsu (Demon Slayer),,, there's so much more but I just these eight come to mind first lolll

I think Ace, Neteyam, and Kwei have a special part in my heart because they died for their brothers 😭

My family's cat has been missing since the beginning of Summer.

We still hold out hope that he'll come home.

We still have a can of cat food with no cat to feed.

We hope that those farmers are treating you good. We don't know where you are.

Thinking that I'll never see you again makes my heart hurt.

Please come home.

[akiko-asce]

When we first got our cat, my Dad didn't want him. Just another mouth to feed. We named him "Monty", a fat orange cat with an M on his forehead, lazy and sleepy.

He got kicked out because he didn't listen, he came in for the night and winter though.

He greeted me happily when I came back from college for the weekend and holidays.

Just two months ago, my family got free barn cats, two of them, "Liam" and "Furon".

A month ago, my Dad gave them to our landlord because we "already have a cat".

A month ago, my Mom told me she looks for him along the dirt road on the way home from work.

He'll come home. One day.

Monkey Men

My sister pushed me down the Lego Monkie Kid hole two years ago and I've never come back up

[akiko-asce]

My counselor gave me a study technique which is basically giving myself a prize, and its just me not being able to pull out my sketchbook until I've gotten a task done. Its been working well and I've actually got some good sketches out of it lol

An unrefined Perona and a refined Yamato

That is his scar, not his chest hair lol, but its a refined Luffy.

Who's dumbASS told me that Minho dies!? I've avoided the last two movies like the plague after someone told me that Minho dies, and that man was my absolute favorite in the first one

I just watched the Maze Runner series expecting for Minho to die in the end. Yk what ends up happening instead?

My top two favorite characters were Minho and Newt. Can you guess how that went 😭

[akiko-asce]

My younger sister while we were watching a movie: Yeah— only poor people live in trailer houses.

Me, sitting right beside her: ...𝘸𝘦 live in a trailer house.

My sister: ...oh yeah... Wait— I didn't mean it like that!
