You use "aces and aros can be in relationships" to justify shipping canonically ace and/or aro characters. I use "aces and aros can be in relationships" to justify headcanoning characters canonically in relationships as ace and/or aro.
We are not the same.
Apparently, trying to finish a book, school (both B.A. and MFA), and a couple hundred thousand-word interactive fiction book and a normal book is tough as hell. Bright side I graduated school! The book (not the IF) is finished and going through editing and beta reading. It's currently under a NDA, so hopefully, I can talk about it in the next couple of months. Now it's time to get back on the IF horse!

Me neither, I'm pretty sure I sent that ask like literally years ago...... But it doesn't matter, SOUP!
So I was trying to finish a essay when I pleaded with my sister for soup because my allergies are acting up. She went upstairs and came back with this
I don't know if this is funny or annoying but mark my words I'm going to find a way to put this in the Entity Saga so her stupidity will forever be immortalized by one of my characters.
My gosh this is where the one scene came from! I knew i got the idea from somewhere
Looks like good soup to me
I no longer knows what this refers to but I'm always down for soup!
You doing ok?
I'm doing great! The last few years been rough but I'm back on my feet!

Update:
Sup void I exist again.
A lot of stuff happened to me this past couple of weeks but whatever after tomorrow it's in the past and I start working again on The Entities Saga.
I'm going to be taking a look at the code and story so far and see where I'm at exactly. Once I get an idea of where I'm at I'll update you all on what I'm doing, both for the story, code and as well as engaging with the void in this blog.
On a personal note, has anyone taken the GRE before, my test is tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated.
On a SUPER IMPORTANT PERSONAL NOTE
My beautiful little kitten (well she's not really a kitten anymore but she will always be in my heart) is getting her eye removed. Her eye doesn't seem like it can be saved (according to 3 different Vets) and it's getting worse with each passing day so as soon as I can save up some money I'm paying for surgery for her. Does anyone know tips on how to help her with the transition. She was born a bit blind so I don't think it will be to bad of a transition but I want everything to go smoothly for my kitten.
Anyway Void till next time
Happy holidays from my little princess, Kira, and me Koi!
I tried to get a holiday picture of her today but she's being her little sassy princess self atm. So enjoy a month old photo lol
look at you!
you've made it.
through all the bad days, and sleepless nights, and all the times you asked yourself if it was worth it
you've reached this point, and whatever you're feeling wherever you are in your life, I promise you it is beyond worth it.
keep going, there's so much goodness in store 💗

Alex, author of Forgotten Names
You’re one of the five Northern Gates Council members. Your territory is strange to say the least, with eerie, sentient woods and something beyond your border that no one speaks of. You’ve assumed the position as one of the rulers recently, so you’re still trying to figure it out.
That would be hard enough by itself, but one night you receive word from the Silent Throne that you’re being summoned to the court, because something happened. So you must depart immediately.
An uncanny forest, magic, a lost legacy, royal problems and conflict between regions. Welcome to Eblur Kingdom. And be careful not to forget your name

Adrian, author of The Twilight Order & The Mystic Pawn
You are a Seer: a respected member of the Twilight Order. Seers are bound to a Nightmare, making them the only mortals capable of Void magic and, thus, the only ones capable of neutralizing the Nightmare threat. Seers are honored for their sacrifice, as their power, while necessary, is a death sentence. Most die violent deaths from the corruption or simply go insane in only a few short years.
Not you, though. You are special. You didn’t choose the position, train vigorously for years, or undergo the binding ritual that would forcibly meld a Nightmare to your psyche. Your Nightmare has always been there, seemingly because they want to be.
You were brought to the Order as a child when your abilities became known. After many years of study, tests, and training, you have made a name for yourself as one of the most potent Seers in history.
Now the Order is sending you to investigate Void activity reports out of Alli vi Piugio, capital of the merchant kingdom of Chepria. While there, it has become quickly apparent there is more going on than meets the eye.
Figures that being ’special’ would mean you have to literally save the world.

Hollis, author of The Starless Throne
You play as an inquisitor, a member of the de facto law enforcement in Blasse, the largest city on the continent. You transferred into this division of the guild 2 months ago, and funnily enough, you also joined the guild 2 months ago, when you took an inquisitor out behind a tavern in the dark, murdered him, and took his job and identity. You know, for work.
Truth is, you’re a private contractor of sorts, and the job you’re on now has brought you to this wing of the guild. Everything is going great, until on what’s supposed to be the last day of the job, things take a turn for the worse. An old partner in crime has popped back up out of nowhere, and things are getting complicated (more than they already are that is) fast.

Jess, author of Fields of Asphodel and co-author of Diaspora
Fields of Asphodel is a game in which the player takes on the role of the Greek pantheon’s deity of spring, on the eve of their (decidedly political) marriage to Hades, Lord of the Dead. After the constantly-simmering feud between Zeus and Demeter results in the rather unfortunate circumstance of a marriage neither party really consents to, the PC is whisked away to the Underworld, an unfamiliar realm that is all but the antithesis of fair Olympus.
There, they have the chance to make what they will of the lot they have drawn. The residents of the Underworld are an unusual, and unusually-accepting bunch, and there are friends or possible romantic connections to be made as well as a rather odd supporting cast to get to know, from the ever-bickering Moirae sisters to Hades’s young adopted daughter Makaria to Kerberos, the gigantic, fire-breathing, three-headed dog.
But for all its charms—if indeed the PC should find any—the Underworld is not without its problems, and when a mysterious wasting disease afflicts Lethe, the river goddess of oblivion, the entire balance of life and death may be in jeopardy. It will take the PC, as well as the rest of the cast, to not only cure the affliction, but solve the mystery of what’s causing it, and deal with the ever-spiraling fallout of the dead beginning to remember.
Of course, I shouldn’t be misleading—the game is mostly about the relationships between its characters, and found family.

Tori, co-author of Witches of Ferngrove
The game focuses on you, the eldest of a family of witches from the small, idyllic town of Ferngrove where nothing ever happens. Your family are witches in a town of humans, and as a result you grew up sheltered and unaware of the magical world, besides the little your parents deemed safe enough for you to know. Other than weak charms and potions of luck, you don’t really know anything about the supernatural world. You left Ferngrove when you graduated from high school and never looked back, becoming a successful journalist at the Echo Gazette in a big city like you always dreamed. Depending on your choices, you have Skyped with your family and they might have taken trips out to see you in the city, but you have not stepped foot back in your hometown.
That is, until you get a call that changes your life forever. Your mother is dead. Aleia Craft. The woman you thought invincible. You must travel home for the funeral and contend with a darker conspiracy. As you begin to unravel the mystery of your mother’s death and the secrets she left behind, you begin to realise she is a woman you didn’t know at all. Soon, you see that there are things at play here bigger than you could have ever imagined. Dark forces conspire against you. It will be up to you whether you can withstand the storm brewing on the horizon. Make allies and enemies, fall in love, hone your magic, and discover your legacy. Be careful who you trust, even those closest to you are not what they seem.

I survived! I will return soon
I have … a tip.
If you’re writing something that involves an aspect of life that you have not experienced, you obviously have to do research on it. You have to find other examples of it in order to accurately incorporate it into your story realistically.
But don’t just look at professional write ups. Don’t stop at wikepedia or webMD. Look up first person accounts.
I wrote a fic once where a character has frequent seizures. Naturally, I was all over the wikipedia page for seizures, the related pages, other medical websites, etc.
But I also looked at Yahoo asks where people where asking more obscure questions, sometimes asked by people who were experiencing seizures, sometimes answered by people who have had seizures.
I looked to YouTube. Found a few individual videos of people detailing how their seizures usually played out. So found a few channels that were mostly dedicated to displaying the daily habits of someone who was epileptic.
I looked at blogs and articles written by people who have had seizures regularly for as long as they can remember. But I also read the frantic posts from people who were newly diagnosed or had only had one and were worried about another.
When I wrote that fic, I got a comment from someone saying that I had touched upon aspects of movement disorders that they had never seen portrayed in media and that they had found representation in my art that they just never had before. And I think it’s because of the details. The little things.
The wiki page for seizures tells you the technicalities of it all, the terminology. It tells you what can cause them and what the symptoms are. It tells you how to deal with them, how to prevent them.
But it doesn’t tell you how some people with seizures are wary of holding sharp objects or hot liquids. It doesn’t tell you how epileptics feel when they’ve just found out that they’re prone to fits. It doesn’t tell you how their friends and family react to the news.
This applies to any and all writing. And any and all subjects. Disabilities. Sexualities. Ethnicities. Cultures. Professions. Hobbies. Traumas. If you haven’t experienced something first hand, talk to people that have. Listen to people that have. Don’t stop at the scholarly sources. They don’t always have all that you need.
I … LOVE reading the replies and tags for this post! I’m happy that, out of all my posts, this is the one that’s blown up so quickly.
I love the people who are a part of a minority, that are gushing about their favorite fics or books that seem to have done this and offer proper representation.
I love the people who are bringing up the toxic mindset that is very popular on tumblr, the “you can’t write about it if you haven’t lived it” ideology that makes writers feel guilty for providing representation.
I especially love the people who are mentioning how they should start doing this. I love the people who are probably young or inexperienced writers that are seeing this and thinking of doing this for the first time. I love that there are people who read this and then think to better their writing because of it.

I know I've been afk for a second but if ya'll can help them out by spreading the word or what not that be awesome. I learned a lot from this dude marcos.
Hey Void,
So umm my personal life is trying to go to shit. I won't go to much into detail but for those who care (and saw my deleted post) my father is in the emergency room. My younger brother who lives with my father the one who helps me learn how to code was the one to deal with everything.
He's trying not to act like it but he's pretty shaken up. I hate to do this however I'm the oldest and my family needs me atm. So I'll probably disappear for a second while I deal with... Everything.
I'm sorry to have to delay my preview again. However my siblings come first.
On the brightside I already scheduled some world building post for this week so enjoy those!
I hope everyone in the void is having a better week than me :)
Truly! I hope you're happy and if not that everything starts looking up as soon as you see this post. If I'm going to be slightly upset and stress for a second then I want all those that support me and others in the void to be happy.
Till next time Void
Koi
Can I have a role in your TV show? I'm willing to be a weird extra who shows up from time to time to weird out to the main cast
Joking aside, I hope your dad gets well
😂 No problem you would actually fit perfectly in my show. If I ever do end up getting the show made I'll be sure to shout you out.
And thanks I hope so too!
I feel this in my soul
