New muse's blog will be posted tomorrow. Finished getting the stuff written I needed to, but I'm getting dragged out for things today shortly and likely won't be back until late. I've been very excited about it and my mutuals are fueling me lmfao.
I'm working on something. Might take me a bit still to get it up and running, but when it is, I'll make a post about it. My brain has been so rotted by them it's not even funny. Paris is going to be sharing my brain with another muse. In the meantime, I'll work on drafts I owe here.
ASSORTED ASKBOX PROMPTS from various sources with dark and / or unsettling themes. The ominous feeling from before is still there, and its prominence has only grown โฆ
* TRIGGERING THEMES MAY BE PRESENT, such as death, wealth inequality, and war. Please exercise caution and curate your space accordingly.
