Hello, everyone. Long time no see.

I started writing this on the 16th. I haven’t logged onto Ahri in at least 2 months. I’ll be adding to this bit by bit, because as it stands my thoughts aren’t completely collected. Or rather, I’m still not prepared.

Ask blogging as been in my life for a good chunk of years and has brought me close to many people whom I love and care and cry for. It brought many fun times, many days and nights of ceaseless drawings, many frustrations but just as many joys.

September 26th, although it’s only 1 minute past midnight. As I thought about this post and went through my inbox, I started tearing up and felt a lump in my throat, stomach sinking a bit too. At this moment, I’m 21 followers away from 3,000. 3,000 people. I have messages of people loving this Ahri, people checking in on the blog, saying they miss my art and stories on their dash, they hope things are going well. ah, i didnt want to cry but it looks like that’s what its coming to haha. This post is going to be all over the place, so please, please forgive me if there are errors, or I jump around, or I’m not clear.

I fell in love with Ahri when i first started playing league and i can’t believe it took me 2+ years of askblogging and roleplaying for her to take her place as my main muse. The AU idea was even out of a joke in a stream. I was scared what people might think. But almost 3,000 people think it’s good. They agree with my idea of Ahri, AU aside. I felt proud I was presenting her in a way that was so widely received beyond the regular perception. But even as I write this I feel I haven’t done her justice. Because I love her so much. I love her character, I love her design, I love her for bringing me to new people, bringing me opportunities, bringing me inspiration and drive. Yet, I wasn’t able to ever be consistent. Mostly due to outside influences and mental issues I still struggle with daily, but I still feel pain knowing I haven’t done more. There’s still so much to do, but I can’t deny it any longer no matter how much I cherish Ahri and this blog and the people I’ve met, the memories I’ve made, the art I’ve drawn, and all of the followers who’ve supported me.

As much as I love all of that, I don’t like league anymore. It doesn’t interest me. I can’t remember when I last played or cared. School girl Ahri was released and I didn’t feel a thing, yet if it had been released a year before I would’ve been begging for commissions to have her. And with that, the blog follows. I’m still interested in Ahri, and writing her, and ask blogging in general, but I can’t maintain this blog. I can’t. I don’t have the time, I don’t have the mental capacity, and it’s impossible for me to work on something I have no interest in anymore. How can I properly interact anymore like this? IT hurts me so much because it came riht when I was trying to be more active, and I created this community project I was so excited and motivated for. It took me so long to admit to myself that I can’t do it, because it’s not something I can hiatus. I don’t think anything will reignite my passion for League, or MOBA’s in general.

It truly breaks my heart to do this, and even now I hesitate. I think, maybe someday, you know? maybe. Maybe just a long-term hiatus. But how long is that? Half a year? Years? Too much will change. I can’t imagine getting back into League enough to warrant time away from commissions and personal work for Ahri. But I feel the lingering guilt and doubt will tear at me if I leave it like that. Because I Really, really don’t want to. I cry and think to myself, I don’t want this, I wish it were different. But I feel it is for the best, even if it hurts.

So, for a too-long-didn’t-read, it is with a very, very heavy and somber heart that I must close up Humble Ahri. I’m sorry if I dragged this post out too much, or made it too cheesy or over-dramatized the situation. It truly does pain me which is why it’s taken so long and the post is just as long. Because this blog, and everything it encompasses, was, and is, invaluable to me.

Thank you, to all of my friends who most closely helped and supported me, and to this day I love endlessly.

Thank you, to all of the mun’s who interacted with me, through art or writing, and put up with my mistakes and not-so-timely responses.

Thank you, to everyone who followed me, sent me messages, asks, fan-mail, and supported me from the start and all the way through.

Ahri and this blog will forever hold a very special place in my heart. I will be keeping the blog up for archive and, perhaps, someday, long, long down the road ahead, if I find a yearning for her again. I will make a follow-up post to where you guys can keep up with my artwork or me personally on social media Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much.

"Sona considers her mutism a gift" - Citation needed

Issue 15 of the JoJ. It’s been taken down from the official site, but the wiki has it mirrored here.

“Is there any way to recover Sona’s voice? Every time I summon her she talks to me in my head and I find her voice very lovable I was wondering if there was any way to help her?” – Summoner Anybody

Since her rise to fame, many doctors and mages have offered to help Sona recover her voice. Some have even taken steps to determine the cause of her mutism through divination, although to no avail. Sona has always maintained the same stance on the issue: anything she wants to say can be expressed through her instrument. In fact, she has written that the most wonderful part of conversing through her music is that the true meaning is never lost or misinterpreted, as can sometimes happen with words. On more than one occasion, she has stated that her mutism is both a gift and a defining aspect of her character.

Of course, a lot of the JoJ is explicitly no longer canon, but given the “comic book canon/canon until stated otherwise” approach to old lore aspects and characterization that the lore team (ha) takes, there’s nothing to suggest that this tidbit no longer holds true for Sona.

Ruby, Emerald

Ruby: A happiness headcanon

Ahri cries everytime a child is adopted, not of grief but happiness, because many times the children are absolute saps when they leave and go on about how grateful they are to her, and some still come back to visit or provide gifts, donations, any of the sort which gets her sniffling again. Seeing her children succeed or even just live their lives how they please is one of the most indescribably happy feelings she ever has.

Emerald: How my muse tells someone they love them without words

Outside a relationship, it’s very subtle but you can tell if you pay attention. Ahri will touch them sometimes with her tails (people touch them often but it’s rare she does it purposefully to others besides the kids). When they visit she’ll only serve the treats or foods or drinks she knows are their favorites, even if those favorites change over time or they’re not easy to obtain or make (usually she serves whatever is readily available.) When they’re together, she’ll open up more about her feelings and stresses and her views on the world and the like. A lot of it isn’t as apparent as it sounds though.

[ask-humble-ahri]

--> Quartz <--

Quartz: How my muse thinks other people see them

While Ahri tries her best not to fret over what others think, she does work a bit to maintain appearances; she worked hard to change herself from a soul devouring temptress to the humble matron that she is today, and would like to keep it that way. From what she’s seen and heard, she believes most see her as surprisingly different than her “character” on the fields, not what they expected sort of thing, but not in a bad way, though she’s sure some prefer that character on the fields...

[ask-humble-ahri]

galena/garnet?

Galena: What it’s like to be in a relationship with my muse

Ahri has yet to actually be in a serious relationship. She’s had plenty of flings in her past (that she prefers to keep that way; in the past.), but nothing ever long-term. It’d be hard to say what it’d be like for sure, but despite her business she’d do her best to tend to her partner and shower them in affection. Plenty of cuddles, thoughtful, heartfelt, sometimes surprise gifts, dates to her favorite spots on the mountain/in the city below, and overflowing dedication. She would struggle to be selfish in a relationship though, both due to her inexperience and her practical motto to put others before herself, which she does on a daily basis with her kids. It might be a struggle sometimes with how busy she is with the kids, but every relationship will eventually find a balance.

Edit: oops forgot Garnet! Sorryyyy

Garnet: What my muse's perfect partner would be

Ahri’s perfect partner would, first and foremost, have to be willing to basically have 10+ children at any given time. If you’re not going to help in what she’s worked and is working so hard for, then you haven’t a chance. Eventually they’d find out about her past, so they would also have to accept her despite that. Ahri would want someone who is hardworking and dedicated like her, and someone she can rely on. She’d want someone who can play the devil’s advocate for her sometimes, bouncing ideas and the like off them to come to a more objective decision on certain matters since she tries her best not to take sides.

Agate, Moss Agate, Amethyst (x3), Ammolite, and Apache Tears. (I wanna know ALL about Ahri)

Agate: how my muse calms down

As much as Ahri loves her kids, she IS one of the only caretakers. She may not like to admit it but it does take a lot out of her! Ahri has several methods though; if available, she’ll invite guests over to talk and relax with; some days she’ll go strolling in the bamboo forest behind the orphanage. She likes rainy days the most for relaxing though, sitting on the deck with a cup of tea and listening to the pitter patter of the rain.

Moss Agate: if my muse has a high or low opinion of themselves

Ahri has… an inbetween opinion. She’s hard on herself if she makes a mistake, but she doesn’t deny her good qualities. She’s generally always working to improve herself though.

Amethyst: what my muse would most like to be able to shape-shift into

Ahri’s not particularly interested in that sort of thing; She’s happy with her current form and would hate to negate all she’s been through by changing again (at will).

Ammolite: how lucky or unlucky my muse is

Ahri is rather lucky; she likes to tell the kids that the goddess of luck and fortune used to be worshiped in the temple that was turned into the orphanage… though maybe it’s not all fable :V

Apache Tears: A sadness headcanon

While Ahri doesn’t get sad often, she does feel a lot of grief when she makes a mistake with her children (accidentally breaking a promise, etc.) and it can take her a bit to get out of that funk.
