When orphan Arryn VanDiir has a vision of the future, he can’t imagine it’s real. Seers know the future. They keep it safe. They live secluded in their tower, rarely interacting with the outside world unless there is danger. Seers are forbidden from forming relationships with the people they are sworn to protect. Called to know of the world but not to know the world. He can’t be a Seer. That would mean giving up the life he knows. Giving up his friends. It would mean the Goddess Fate had taken a special interest in him specifically.

First of all, I appreciate the understanding I’ve received about being on hiatus! Y’all rock!
To use a business term I hate: lemme open up the kimono a bit!
When I decided to take some time off, I was anticipating a new software go-life at work in January being rough. It has been rough every single day for two months! (this is me trying to stay positive) I am on-call most nights and weekends for our late and weekend shifts because the system is now so broken, it can’t operate for more than five minutes without crashing out about something stupid. ✨wow✨
In November, I got diagnosed with PCOS and I have been navigating what that means for me, potential future family, and how to manage diet and exercise when I feel like garbage literally all the time!
In late January, work decided it would be ✨super smart✨ to take me, the Subject Matter Expert, away from my site to go to a week-long workshop to talk about “integrating AI” into an error queue I manage as… 70% of my job right now. I told them they were stupid and we ended up not doing that thing because it’s not possible because nobody in upper corporate understands what “integrating AI” even means, they’re just using buzzwords. I also told them to leave me alone for the next few months because they wasted a week of my time. (the very positive of all of this is one of my layovers on the way home let me hang out with one of my best friends for a few hours over coffee, which was much-needed)
Then I got the flu! 0/10, do not recommend!
This week, I saw a doctor about some chronic pain that’s been getting progressively worse over the last month or two and turns out I fractured my ankle! A few years ago! And didn’t know!! So it seems I have “post-traumatic arthritis” in this joint now. I will take care of this as I would my little dog whom I love dearly.
And last, but certainly not least, I have struggled with depression for the last few years and have taken medication and been seeing a therapist about it (among other things). I’m happy to report this seems to be letting up and I have not had any deep depressive episodes for a long time now. The PMDD attached to my PCOS certainly doesn’t help. There’s never been any immediate danger, I don’t want people worrying about extremes, but being deeply sad most of the time still sucks, so I’m glad that things feel more stable and I really just have the people placed in my life to thank for that.
For my Christian family: please pray for me as I am in a spiritual kind of rut, a valley, that has everything to do with a) I’m struggling at church and finding it challenging to engage and b) the busyness of life is very hard to overcome right now. I believe in prayer, so I ask for it.
Thanks for everything, I appreciate the support I’m receiving!
I’m starting to feel the inklings of motivation creep back into my life, so I hope to return to this project ✨very soon✨
Apologies for the unforeseen break, but we are back! Work travel and life in general have been taking up more of my attention and I just didn’t have the energy to draw at the end of the day. Looking forward to continuing this story. I will take another break once we finish Part 2, but there are still a handful of episodes until then. Now, as a dear friend of mine likes to say: get loved, nerds.
Started with a bit of a recap from a previous conversation Oskar and Corrine had because Now It’s Important. :)
Due to Inklings being in full swing, I am going to give myself the next two weeks to rest from drawing so that I am not trying to do too many things at once as I am so prone to do.
