Well, I told you guys I'd make a post when I made a decision. I went on ahead and made a separate blog for another muse. I'll keep this one for Mana / DGM, but I'll admit, having multi-muse blogs may not be entirely doable for me-- that, or just multi-fandom multi-muse, lmao.

If you want to interact over at my new one, it's Hazbin/Hellaverse related, so if you're not into that, I understand! Just wiggle on over a DM if you want. ♥

That being said, this officially marks my indefinite hiatus from this blog! As much as I'd like to try, it has been struggling with activity for quite some time, and I really bit off more than I could chew, muse wise. But I don't want to abandon this account entirely, either, since it has memories of my little fluff nugget. ♥

Muse / Blog update!

As I continue contemplating returning to rp on blogs, I'm gonna just write who I intend my two main muses to be;

Mana D. Campbell ( dgm ) and Alastor ( hh ) and possibly Kuutar ( gi )

And only from there will I decide if I want to have any secondary muses, but even then I'm going to be incredibly selective.

So, after saying this, if you don't want to continue following me due to a major drop of muses, I completely get it.

I'm still on the fence on whether I should just re-adjust this blog, or make a new one for this in general.

I'm far more accustomed to single-muse blogs, and a multi-muse has proven to be more exhausting than I anticipated. I'm considering just separating fandoms with blogs or making a 'base' with side blogs as the single muses... but considering I use side blogs for my art and such, I don't think I'd do that, plus the notifcation styles of those drive me bonkers.

Any thoughts?

[arkclipse]

I keep wanting to return, but I'm going to have to be realistic. If I do come back to writing here, I'm going to shelve quite a handful of characters. As much as I adore writing a plethora of characters... I've come to realize that doing it on a blog is not for me. At all. It causes me far too much stress and confusion. I'm better at many muses on dc than I am on a blog.

And secondly-- I may archive everything on here. It's either that, or I start a fresh blog and keep this one as a keepsake / memento, or for the muses that I want to shelve.

All I know, is that I really have no desire to log into this blog, but I want to write. So I'm wondering what the best course of action is for me, personally. Of course I'll keep you all updated.

[arkclipse]

To add to this: My only main muse from DGM would be Mana D. Campbell, both younger and my own alternate version of him. I love OjiMana don't get me wrong but in writing I want to explore my own fun little shenanigans.

+ Robin, + another muse from another series. And maybe Vincent, but that's it. Anyone else I feel like I'm forcing it, or that I just can't do that sort of thing in a blog. I really just want to cut out a bunch of muses since it's overwhelming. Even logging in again feels overwhelming.

May shall always and forever be a favourite month, now. Because it was the month Jigu was born. It's technically the 31st in Japan, thus the anniversary for DGM. Tomorrow is the last day of May, here.

DGM... when I was rewatching it for the trillionth time with my mum ( it was her first time ), I remember how Jigu cuddled on my lap. Or went on her desk and watched it with us.

And how The Fourteenth's Song holds very important significance, as I sang that to him. I still remember how my baby cried. I still remember how I held him in my arms, even when he had parted -- when he became spirit and was no longer in his physical form.

I still recall his final moments.

His final gaze.

His final meow.

And I recall how the dear doctor held my hand, and told me that she was administering the liquid that would then cause his heart to stop beating.

I recall how his body reacted. The last beats of his heart.

He was put to sleep in my arms. And he died in my arms.

While writing this out, I burst out crying again. It hurts fresh. I don't think this is a wound that can ever get easier to cope with over time.

I miss my Jigu. I miss his meows. I miss his headbutts. I miss him pawing at me. I miss him running up to me and meowing whenever I said things in certain voices. I miss him doing so when I was playing games, or when I got especially excitable about anything. I miss him telling me when to eat, or demanding I get myself to bed. I miss him meowing at me to stretch my legs out so he can be the biscuit baker extraordinaire and knead on my legs.

I miss wake up to his cute little face right there. Waking up to him purring. Or rolling in my sleep, only to wake up to realize there's fluff and he's right there.

I know, now, that it's inevitable. But with someone who struggles to grasp reality because of my dissociative disorders, it only amplifies that inability to grasp onto things.

I keep thinking that I'll see him around. I keep thinking he's physically right there, because he's such a big part of my life that I can't imagine my life without him, even when he's now a box of ashes at my desk.

You may have had your first physical form for shy of 14 years, my little love, my loaf of love, but you gave me an eternity of love and cherished memories.

[arkclipse]

TOMORROW!!! Tomorrow the Iconic Moments Zine will be published, and I'll be sharing the ever loving fuck out of it, I swear.

It already looks so so gorgeous!! Everyone did amazingly and I really can't wait to share my pieces!!!

[arkclipse]

Mine buttocks is aching -- and solely because I've lost a bit of weight since April... understandably, of course, but I'm already so easily blown about by the wind -- I can't seem to gain any weight with how I eat, anyways. My body is way too sensitive to mess with my routine, too.

That being said, dear Gods my fingers are ice cold. It's most likely due to my autoimmune, because even if I run around and exercise, it won't get any warmer.

Also my notifications are broken--

[arkclipse]

Make my muse talk about one of their...

{ For Mana! }

👑 Role models / mentors 💚 Friends / family members 🧠 Expertise

👑 — "Ah— That one is quite easy to answer, dare I say. My role model and mentors... My dear mother triumphs them all! She's been my role model and mentor since I was but a young lad... However, I've had my fair share of tutors to help me learn other things..." Should he mention The Bookman? How the old man would listen to his curiosities, and answer what he needed to know? Should he speak of that absurd, goofy uncle that loved to tinker with the unknown? Ah, perhaps some things were best left unsaid...

💚 — "Mm! Why, my mother, Caterina Eve Campbell! A lovely woman, that she is. I couldn't have asked for a better, more caring and loving mother as she. Then, there's my younger twin brother, Nea! Ah— don't allow his demeanor to distract you from the fact that he's actually quite a softie, deep down! He can also be quite adorable when he's all huffy and puffy— I do so love to have playful banter with him. I've also stolen from his secret stash of candy before, it was funny watching his confusion afterwards— Ah, but... don't tell him I said that.

🧠 — "Expertise..? Well... I quite enjoy poetry, writing, painting... Photography is also a work of art in itself, you see? Capturing the right moment, at the right angle within the right light, to savor such memory— But... if there's one thing I have the most confidence in, it would be... performing. I do so very much enjoy watching others smile... Bringing joy and laughter to people's lives, if even for but a moment of time..." He daren't speak of anything else. Not his innate skill with magick, nor the knowledge that seems to be ingrained into his very soul.

[arkclipse]

{ Toraido to Tyki } "Okay - if you're going to keep dropping things you need to put them down."

"Tsk—" Tyki clicked his tongue in response. As comical as this could be, it truly was no joke.

Ever since the incident in The Old Ark, Tyki has found himself in many an unfortunate situation wherein he'd have a strange blip that would affect his functionality. First, it started with extremely brief hiccups where he felt something... strange. Almost akin to a poke, or a jab. Nothing to pause and think twice about — after all, what made it different to when his skin would itch, or he'd feel a sneeze incoming while he worked at the mines?

However, it had progressively started to get worse. It felt as though something was crawling beneath his skin, snickering and trying to claw its way out. It had gotten progressively worse since The Fourteenth decided to start making his appearance on center stage, stirring not only the Noah's side of the Holy War, but the Black Order's, too.

"... Yeah, yeah. No need to stage the obvious now, Toraido." Tyki grumbled lightly in response, making a genuine attempt to conceal his very real concerns.

It burned. That damn scar left by Allen Walker was excruciating and searing in pain.

[arkclipse]

7. What is a sound that makes you happy?

Always and forever, the sound that will make me the happiest... will always be Jigu's meows. Even though, now, all I have to remember them is captured in a couple of videos, and the sound engraved in my heart -- I don't think there could ever be a sound that will take that spot. The sounds after would be Midnight and Kurochan's meows.

Before, a question like this would really have me stumped -- since it's not something I really... think about? But now, more than ever, it's an easy answer.

[arkclipse]

{ Nea to Cross } "I think I just burnt my fingerprints off."

Did he just hear him right? Cross took one glance over at his companion with a raised brow. Crimson gaze ventured from the other's face, down to his hand which trembled, indicating some damage to his nerves.

Brows knit together as a grunt left the other — now, Cross could easily harp on to Nea about how he 'shouldn't be so careless' and 'pay better attention' — but when it came to Cross Marian and deeply caring for someone, no matter how harsh his words may be, it was evident that it was done out of love.

"You — You goddamn dumbass." Cross huffed out as he made his way to Nea's side, taking the burnt hand in question into his own, gazing upon the damage done by the flames which had so greedily lapped up at the Noah's hand.

A look of concern washed over him, then and there, a deep frown settling upon his visage as he mulled over the best course of action. Perhaps it was then that Cross recalled having some ointment in his bag. He quickly got back up to head over to his bag, rummaging through the items before pulling the desired objects out; ointment, and some bandages to boot. Making his way back over to Nea, he knelt down and pushed his own hair out of the way, a look of concentration on his face.

"I told you to be careful, damn it..." he mumbled, inspecting the severity of the burns on his companion's hand, before delicately applying the ointment. "Of all the times to get yourself a burn this severe, there's not a damn lick of ice anywhere nearby." Honestly, this man could harp on as much as he'd like — but the way he was so delicate with Nea's hand showed just how dearly he saw the other. "Stay still."

"Next time, allow me to start the camp fire. Next thing you'll blow off is your bloody face."

[memepocalypse]

Something's Wrong With You (senses)

Eyes

"Can you focus on me?"

"Hey... I'm over here?"

"What are you looking at?"

"Whoa, hey - sorry, didn't mean to startle you."

"I'm - I'm right in front of you."

"Can you... can you not see?"

"When did you lose your vision?"

"Hey, it's okay - it's okay. Let me take your hand and lead you."

"Don't be scared - it'll be okay. We'll fix it."

"Don't flinch - I'm going to touch you."

Ears

"Hello? Hellloooo?"

"Are you ignoring me?"

"God, you never pay attention -"

"I'm talking to you!"

"Why aren't you listening?"

"Pay attention!"

"Listen!"

"Can you not hear me or something?"

"Why are you looking at me like that..?"

"What - wait... you can't hear? Why am I saying this you can't hear it."

Mouth

"Why are you making that face? I spent ages cooking that."

"Why are you adding salt to that?"

"Whoa, you're drooling like crazy."

"Are you choking?"

"Bland? How can it be bland?"

"I can't taste anything."

"My mouth just tastes like blood."

"Everything tastes of nothing."

"My tongue's gone numb."

"Bleh."

Nose

"Eugh, can't you smell that?"

"Oh, that smells hideous."

"It reeks in here!"

"You stink."

"I think I broke my nose."

"I can't smell anything?"

"I think I've gone nose-blind."

"Should I... be able to smell anything?"

"I think I burnt my nostril hairs out."

"Everything just smells like smoke."

Feeling

"I think I just burnt my fingerprints off."

"My hands have gone numb."

"I can't - I can't feel anything. At all."

"Are you touching me? I can't tell -"

"Your hands are shaking."

"Okay - if you're going to keep dropping things you need to put them down."

"Can you feel this?"

"I'm going to run my fingers through your hair."

"I'm taking your hand."

"It's okay - it's okay. Just take a breath. The feeling will come back."
