Hellooo

Are u ok?

Yes ish. Just busy and dealing with some emotional junk like i said in the update post a little while back. Ty for the concern though :)

[callousdegenerate]

Hello! I just wanted to say, I found your story a few weeks ago on AO3 and I’m obsessed! I’m dying to see more content about it and very looking forward to more chapters! Would you ever consider writing more of the other number’s dynamics with their doctors as extra chapters after the story ends, like their first visits with them or their relationships with them after they first came into the facility? I’m especially interested in the twins first meetings with their doctors and eights first meeting with Yosuke. I would love to see it!

Thank you for stopping by and reading, I really appreciate it!

I hadn't planned for doing any story snippets with other doctors and Numbers before, as most of my focus on after-story content is mostly going to be on the doctors themselves. I won't put little glimpses of interactions or hints to events out of the question, but I probably wouldn't flat out write visits as part of the extra content. Not at the moment, anyway. I may consider it in the far future as extras, at best.

Posted this on Discord but posting here too.

I need money kinda bad rn since a lot of bills are hitting, so here's some quicko commissions I'm opening for now.

I have 5 slots available, I'll try to work with this and my writing simultaneously. Paid commissions take priority though, sorry.

If you're on discord, please dm me. I've been on my alt account more often than my CD discord but I'll try to check both. If you can't use discord, I'll try to peek in on messages here, then redirect you to my email (same as paypal).

[callousdegenerate]

little update im posting here for anyone who wasnt in the discord, plus the message i put in on that channel. I linked the pdf from the discord but lmk if there's issues

My way of saying I'm sorry for being so out of it lately. It's just a drabble between TO and Luci. 3rd person and past tense. Nothing too important but it gave me a reason to write them interacting. Nobody's said anything about the piece in the discord so I don't know if anyone actually liked it? but I hope you guys do ><

CD Update

Hi, I haven't been on my tumblr enough, sorry!

Life's been hitting me pretty hard. I know it's been a while without a story update and I feel guilty about it, but I've also gone through several chains of losses in a row (one I can't even really talk about publicly to make myself feel better) and I may be up for yet another one with my cat (She's already pretty old). Not sure right now, but me and my family both are all kind of rattled by a lot and I haven't been able to cope in a healthy way or find a proper outlet or support network. I'm taking things day by day, mostly.

My capacity for creativity has been a bit stinted, especially with one of the unspeakable losses which hit me particularly hard. I have so many ideas but it's hard to get them out on a page or on a canvas. I will still try to finish up the chapter because I do like writing the story, it's just a lot has been going on that's kept me from it. Physically and emotionally I'm all over the place.

I know that doesn't make up for my lack of interaction with anyone or the discord. I'm not as active as I'd like to be. I am sorry! I will try to get to questions or try to get creative again as soon as I can. I haven't even been home in about a month by now and I just wanna lay in my bed and recuperate so I can at least try to get back to the things I like.

Also, moving forward, mostly I'll be on tumblr or discord. I can't keep up with insta or DA much anymore, plus both platforms have been a bit questionable or lackluster for art in general. I still won't touch twitter, unfortunately. If you have recommendations of a place I can host my art then I'm all for it, but otherwise, this or discord will be it. I know I haven't been posting enough art on here as it is, but unfortunately the policies tumblr has make it a bit dodgy to post everything.

In any case, that's the news. See you guys around! And if/when I can manage to update the story again, I'll of course announce it.

if Ten and Yosuke met under normal condition, getting to know each other naturally and normally. will she fall in love with him? and how will Yosuke act as her boyfriend? Gentle, loving or possessive and control? thanks anyway!

She might! She thought he was handsome to begin with, and he's pretty gentlemanly generally. Giving him high amount of power over a person as he has in the facility might bring out the worst in him, but normally, he's pretty alright and adjusted.

He might have pangs of possession, jealousy, or control over a partner, but if Ten fell in love with him organically, she wouldn't be the cowering type. She's shown in TF that she's stubborn and I don't doubt that if she was in a situation where she hadn't had all her autonomy robbed and much of her spirit splintered, she'd fend for herself much more easily. So, I think she'd snap a bit more at Yosuke to bring him back down to earth whenever he started acting questionably. He might honestly expect her to help keep his worst self at bay, really.

Otherwise, I do think both could be romantic to one another.

[callousdegenerate]

First I just want to say that you are an extraordinary writer and world builder. Can you tell us anything about who You are? Whatever you're comfortable with... I'm just so curious.

Thank you!

I don't have much to say about myself, really. I studied English/writing in college, then later added some philosophy/psychology to that. I casually watch random shows/anime/cartoons, and I like playing games on my offtime (I still play a lot of Left 4 Dead).

I've always written random stuff since I was little, but I no longer have all the old journals I used to fill with old fanfic lol. I never used to post it online until I got into the Tokyo Mew Mew fandom since I grew up watching that anime a lot. The Facility is actually my first major original work published online. I've always had ideas and stories floating around in my head, and even a fanfic Code Lyoko comic and an original comic I used to draw when in class featuring friends of mine from high school that sort of evolved into its own thing, but I've never really posted stuff anywhere!

I have an interest in the aesthetics of medicine, cyberpunk, and the post-apocalyptic, but I'm no expert on any of that :p.

I was into a lot of random fandoms in my teens/early adulthood. Tokyo Mew Mew, Homestuck, Steven Universe, Undertale, Love Live, Kingdom Hearts, etc. Made a lot of fancharacters for TMM and Homestuck specifically. I like Genshin right now, just because I like the world/characters. I like attending conventions if I can afford it, but I'm not really a superfan of anything and just like to enjoy things here and there.

Otherwise I mostly just keep to myself and try to make money to pay for rent/food. Not much else! :p If you have anything particular you want to know, you're welcome to ask.

[callousdegenerate]

I'm hoping ten and eight end up together 😭

this has been an everlasting ship from the fans since early chapters apparently

[callousdegenerate]

Hello

Is everything all right, it’s been like 5 months since you last updated?

Hope you’re doing well

having some struggles is all i'm still working on it as best I can

[callousdegenerate]

Hi there! I was just wondering if you had an updated discord link for the server? I tried the one but it wasn't cooperative! Sorry for the bother, but thank you!

try this one? let me know if there are issues with it

[callousdegenerate]

How much is done about the new chapter?

over halfway

i have a few scenes left to write but it's taking a bit because my schedule's been kind of hectic with the holiday season

[callousdegenerate]

Do you have plan to write spin off about Yosuke visit before the main story? Where hes trying around to look for the right one? Im really interesting in eight & yosuke and them having similar looks.... (i only reach chap 34 rn if these were touched on in main story then nvm lol)

Probably not something from his perspective. His involvement before the main story may briefly be in someone's chapter after the main story is over and I work on the extra stuff.

[callousdegenerate]

Hii

Is the facility still ongoing?

yes, still working on next chapter

haven't had nearly as much time lately :x

[callousdegenerate]

Apologizes if you already answered this but will you ever do a collection of shorts that center around doctor visits with other numbers? For example, Violet and Micah or Sven and Lav?

I don't have any intentions to do more visit stuff outside of the main story, no. I wanted to focus on story and character more at this point. I wouldn't be opposed to writing it, but I would likely not publish anything on ao3 for it. If people wanted to request or even commission me to write even more extras, I could.

[callousdegenerate]

Idk why I need to tell you this but the Overseer reminds me of Miguel O'Hara from Spiderverse

If I don't draw this, someone should

[callousdegenerate]

Helloo

How is the next update going?

still working on it, going steady. Stuff's just been popping up and then I had to help my mom out with a lot last month. Hoping to get it done eventually but unfortunately I don't have a timeframe, sorry
