Anything helps! Thank you!

My mum just lost her job so our only source of income just went to shit, just 2 weeks before we need to find a new apartment, no less! Hooray! There's a very real possibility that in just 2 weeks my mum, I and our cats will be homeless.

Unfortunately, I can't do any physical work or anything involving a lot of walking or standing, and any kind of at-home job is very hard to come by for some reason, and unfortunately, I don't make enough on commissions normally to sustain myself.

We have enough food to last us a month, thankfully, so the only pressing matter is the money for a down payment on a new apartment, rent and possibly medication.

Any kind of help is appreciated, including reblogging!

We're still like 370$ short! Please help if you can

Mod Bunger: hey man whatever you wanna do I’m down for it!!

:] just lemme know when and where and I’ll happily help out with any changes to the lore especially with hank

Aight sweet! Thank ya bunger!

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

Hrm, if it's known right off the bat that Clef is half-angel, that cuts down on future explaining him and Hank's relationship I think?

Yeah, but also I wanted to make Clef's parentage more in the background and vague

Like it'd be hinted at (and obv people behind the blogs and who follow this blog will know) but it won't be explicitly stated

So aka the original idea I had for Clef's Family Arc™, more so focused on his feelings of abandonment over actually interacting with the specific family members

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

It might be easier to start fresh with a cleaner slate, so you might be right to go with a hard reset? That way it's less confusing about what's being carried over and what's not. Your final decision is totally up to you, though!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking!

I will definitely be carrying over the character relationships too, I dont want anybody to retcon their part of the blog stuff if I can help it

While I'm at it, do y'all think I should start the blog with the fact Clef is a Naphil (half angel half human) out already or would starting with a clean slate be better?

I know that Cimmerian's thing is getting retconned for sure, but idk about Clef and I have a hard time choosing

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

During my break, aside from thinking over boundaries and such, I will start working on the new blog and brainstorming ideas

Do you guys think it should be a hard or soft reset? I want to get y'alls opinions

(Hard reset = characters act like it's the first time they have had a Tumblr, would require a bit more retconning but the most important character relationships established will remain the same

Soft reset = the characters remember having a blog etc, less retconning required)

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

I've decided I need a good few days break from the ask blogs, I've been kind of slowly ruining my health over them, putting too much on my plate

I need to establish a good boundary with my ask blogs and interactions on them or the next blog I have will be doomed to fail too, and I think the best first step for it is to take a small break.

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

It's 2 am and I am going to do the healthy thing here and go tf to sleep for once fjdbdb

I'll be sleeping on the entire reboot idea (even tho I'd feel bad for doing it again)

Thank y'all for listening to me and sending some helpful advice, it means a lot

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

Hey if you feel like dropping anything cause it’s overwhelming it’s completely fine and understandable.

If something becomes to much please drop it.

Your mental health matters man.

Don’t put ask blog plots over that.

If it’s no longer fun and becomes more of a stress then it’s a sign to drop it.

I hope things will become better for ya soon.

- Bunger

🥺 oh, thank you so much Bunger!

I'd feel sad because it'd most likely mean that the entire thing with Hank & Clef would be dropped or at the very least kept vague even tho I like these guys so much 😭 But, it does get overwhelming,

I already keep destroying my health over these blogs w my sleeping schedule lmao I should get a grip 💔

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

Sorry for rambling about this so much, it's been a feeling I've had for a long time now. Thanks for hearing me out tho and even sending helpful suggestions, that means a lot.

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

Something that I do if I'm needing to make a decision (technically my sister suggested it for me a few years ago, but it helps) is to flip a coin or something like that and if I'm disappointed with the result, to go with the other option.

I'm not sure if that would help much here, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway.

Oh yeah, that'd help, I do that too

I still need to think about things tho

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

I feel like this sense of overwhelm is just blown out of proportion due to my sleep deprivation + stress due to real-life circumstances, so I won't be making any impulsive decisions. Jsyk, just because I am talking about this doesn't mean it will happen and if it does happen this version of the blog would still be active for the time being until I figure out what i'd want the new blog to be

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

I'd feel bad for dropping characters/plotpoints, especially now

Like for example, I have shit planned for Meddler. Moving blogs/doing a reset would complicate things so much

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

That'd be a great idea if they weren't meant to be temporary 😭

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

I'd feel bad for dropping characters/plotpoints, especially now

Like for example, I have shit planned for Meddler. Moving blogs/doing a reset would complicate things so much

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

Maybe it would be helpful for you to link important posts/write new ones for specific topics in your pinned posts? That way newcomers (and yourself) can easily find references for what's going on?

That seems like a good idea and would be a great solution for if the story being too complicated for newcomers would be my main problem

But it would not help me with the feeling of the story being too blown out and overwhelming

Still, thank you for the idea + help!

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

You ever wanna do a hard reset on the ask blog because the lore has become too overblown?

I keep adding little things I like and uh oh suddenly it gets overwhelming

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

I feel like dropping the entire clef's family plot because it's too overwhelming, similar with Cimmerian's origins

I should have kept to my original idea, I am so unhappy with this blog but also torn because it's somewhat fun. But at the same time if I were to remake it I have zero fucking idea what the plot should be and what to carry over and what to drop

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

The original idea I've had for Clef and Cimmerian is cool but when paired with everything else it's overwhelming + feels like a power trip?

And I keep comparing this blog to other blogs that aren't as hard as this one to get hooked on because they don't have some bullshit secret subplot about angels and gods and shit and are just normal characters and I just feel nothing but resentment and hate towards my own blog

And this again has happened somehow with this blog, and ONLY shit blog, and I have zero idea why

I should just stick to a simpler, original plot instead of this bullshit.

[ask-dr-cimmerian]

The irony of me making this blog because I felt like the previous one was too overblown and overwhelming and now I'm starting to feel the exact same way about this blog doesn't escape me

I feel like it's something I should sleep on

I definitely can't just reset this blog when I don't even know what the new blog should look like and what the plot should be, and I don't even know if I want to do this because I'd have to write out so many things that I enjoy bc they feel too overwhelming.

Idk, sorry about the rambling, j just needed to vent out my frustration
