Would you be ok with someone making a podfic of your fics?

I personally don’t have a problem with it, so long as credit goes where credit is due. It’s certainly interesting, imo

Hurr durr, almost forgot to post this here!

Enjoy everyone, this took a bit!

[katastrophenearu]

Its been awhile . . .

Hello everyone. 

Man, its been a hot minute, hasn’t it? I know I have not been active on here, life’s been a little crazy (and frankly a little depressing) but I do to want say that I have still been reading comments and kind words people have sent, and that I haven't forgotten about this blog or the community here. This little fandom still means a lot to me, even if I’ve been MIA in it for a bit.

In other news, and I’m sure the news you’re all interested in; my fanfic. What’s happening with it? Well, I’m sure you’ll be happy to know I haven’t given up on it or anything like that! In fact, I’ve been fighting with myself to resurrect my muse, and between life events and mental health, its been a struggle. But I think I’m finally starting to kick this dead horse back to life. I’m taking it day by day, slowly but surely, so I don’t burn myself out again. And I’m getting there. 

Thank you, to everyone who has stuck around this long, truly. And, until I post again, I’ll leave you with this:

With a small smile, Al could recognize Suzie’s brown bob and boisterous walk as she made her way to the front of the building. The woman had told her a little about what she did, and so had Alice, and she couldn't help her interest in the subject. She’d always liked singing. Some tiny part of her was a little jealous she couldn’t go down to see it all for herself, but she reasoned she could always explore when there weren’t so many people.

For a brief second, Susie glanced towards the window and caught Al’s eye, and she could just make out the wink the woman sent her way before carrying on like nothing at all.

That’s when other shapes entered her line of sight, catching Susie halfway up the lot. One Al could tell straightaway was Thomas, perking up as she watched him give Susie a cordial nod. Then a secondary figure appeared beside him, trotting up to the other woman with an excited spring in her step. Al could make out black hair pulled up into a loose bun, a flowery dress splashed with color, and the flash of a smile as the other woman called out to Susie, who had stopped and was returning the greeting with a smile of her own. 

Al found herself leaning over a little more, curious. She can’t see much else, nevermind hear anything they’re saying, but her head tilted only further as she tried to make out more of the situation.

That was when Susie seemed to notice her, just making out the panic on the woman’s face when she saw Al’s admittedly more precarious position. The woman suddenly threw her arms around the girl she was talking with, talking animatedly, all while looking pointedly Al’s way and sharply knocking one hand to the left, a clear motion of ‘get back in’ if Al’s ever seen one. She probably should lean back before someone spotted her, not like she’d get anything more by doing this.

The other woman, after prying herself free, suddenly turned around, brow pinched with confusion, blue eyes reminiscent of a darkening sky before a storm crossing Al’s own, and-

Allison, could you please come down here for a moment?

Hey-o, I know, its been a hot minute, lots of real life stuff happening (including a pretty dramatic job switch), but I did it. 

Its salty muffin time

Hi.

Been a HOT minute, I know. Its been a lot this year, as I’m sure its been for many, but now that this one is ending, I hope we can at least begin to repair the damage it brought. And, in light of that, I finally dusted off my keyboard and finished this poor thing! I hope it brings a little light to the end of this dark year. And thank you all for your continued to support, and to those who reached out during the Dark Age. I appreciate and love every single one of you. <3

@doodledrawsthings thank you for your inspiration, and for the art you continued to create this year. Your ocs and your various AHIT aus have been a bright spot. ^.^

@katastrophenearu

uhm merry christmas if you celebrate….

So I read Through a Mirror Darkly for the first time last April, and honestly have been mildly obsessed with this au since then. I never really made any fanart for it until now though… 

Anyways I decided to speedrun an animatic after hearing this song come on while I was drawing. Even though I’ve never made an animatic, and have only digitally drawn humans 3 or 4 times before this… Sorry that it’s verrrry rushed, but I still managed to post it on Christmas :)

[katastrophenearu]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been active, but this made my heart smile to see. The effort you put into this really shines, and also, I’m lowkey really digging the song! Thank you, and merry Christmas. I hope next year treats us all a little better. Take care. ❤️

[katastrophenearu]

People most likely asked this already but are you alright? We have had too many great artists and writers such as yourself disappear without any warning or notice. Don’t take this as impatient rant just someone wanting official confirmation if your BatIM fic or even this Tumblr will continue or not. Thank you have a nice day!

Hello, thank you for reaching out. I know, I haven’t been active at all, and I’m sorry for that. It has been an extremely rough year, and my motivation has been at a low it hasn’t been in quite some time. Which is just awful, because I would LOVE to get back to this story, and many others. It was a fun and challenging story that really took on a life of its own, and I would like to continue it! But as of right now, I honestly don’t know when that might be. I hope that somewhat answers your questions, and gives you some closure. Again, I’m sorry. I know a lot of people found comfort and enjoyment from this series, and I hope what’s there will continue to be, as I have no intention of removing anything at all.  Stay safe out there everybody. Its been a terrible year, but I hope to see you on the other side. <3

[katastrophenearu]

Are you okay? Stay safe this summer.

Thank you. I know I have not been active on here, and I’m so sorry for that. Its been a pretty bad year. But my family and I are holding out. I hope you stay safe too. All of you. <3

[katastrophenearu]

Hey! Sorry to be a creep but I am very glad to see you are alive!! I was beginning to get worried since you just kinda disappeared, I hope you’re doing alright out there!

I am as okay as can be given the current global times. A little rough, I won’t lie, but I’m better off than some to be sure. I hope you’re doing well too. ^.^

One more piece for wonderful BATIM fic “Through a Mirror, Darkly”, written by @katastrophenearu

Not only I’m still in love with this piece, nor only I’m still waiting for new chapres of this wonderful AU, but ALSO I had recently finished translation of this fic into Russian. And posted it! Yay! That was a really long trip (one year, oml), 

Наконец окончен перевод чудесного фанфика “Сквозь зеркало, сквозь мрак” по Бенди! Кто еще не читал - советую. Уверяю, что чтиво стоит того! (и это не только потому, что переводила я) [читать]

[katastrophenearu]

This is . . . Beautiful.

You truly are such a talented artist. And thank you so much for taking time out of your day during these stressful times to translate the story for others to read and enjoy. Take care of yourself out there. ❤️

Another for the Cracked Glass AU!

@katastrophenearu 's Read the Cracked Glass Series Here, Guys! (It's SO good! AH!)

Pondering it, a little bit of rereading during work to make my day better, then I'm trying out things with Highlighters for my AU, and this came forth!

He's been Watching.

Biding His time.

And if the Story doesn't go His way...

HE WILL

R I P

THE HERO

O U T

I have so many good things associated with this AU, and I didn't have time to ramble with the Val Day post like I do now; so here's some thoughts!

A lot of them!!

!!SPOILERS!!

For certain important aspects of the story!! (And I'm talkin' all over, not just new chapters of Brightly.)

About the Drawing: I wanted to render something akin to C!Henry's Soul, like in Mirror where he feels the chains of what I mentally dub Joey Drew's Script constricting it. Most people, from what I've seen, use the Ink Well for Henry, and I usually don't because of the poision/Death symbol on a lot of the jars In-Game. I decided to use one of the Reels: so I could have writing on it, to show his Role as the the Hero, and so I could squeeze it! Also, you can't just Erase a line on reels, you have to do something More Drastic than that to Fix one. Heehee.

Still the Drawing: The highlighters got C!Henry's Gold Ink hints, his Toon Eyes, and since it's in/from his blood explicitly from the fic, I put it along his Script Skeleton thing that Joey has (I have) in him. And dripping in Ink (the bad Ink for clarity's sake) because Script Corruption; everything is dripping with it, no escape.

About the STORY: OMG I cannot wait for Henry to spill his beans to Al and Tom about the Secrets he's been keeping (Gold Ink, the Script) I've been watching the Pot so Hard ya'll, barely even Bubbles, but it's coming, I know it!

Maybe C!Henry and C!Bendy talk about how terrible and awful being bound by the Script was. Can't wait for that to bubble over to the HS!Crew btw. Joey finding out Henry and Bendy specifically have been in Scripted Hell for YEARS. SENTIENTLY. CAN'T! WAIT!!

And AHHH!!!! PTSD GHOST TRAUMA (IDK WHAT TO CALL IT)!! Henry and Sam seeing people they have seen/known dead/as insane for years Aaaaahhhhh!!

I have predictiooooooons!!!! Ohhhh.. OH! Ooohhhh! Do I DO!!

I want Joey to just SLAM His hands on the Script Controls, and be like: "Ohkay, that's far enough down this 'side Story,' let's get back Home." Just. Completely in control of C!Henry and C!Bendy at least, they just didn't even notice the shackles slipping back on. Maybe some agony over in beautiful Slip'n'Slide Roommate Junction, where Sam has to follow and Sammy isn't bound enough they start to split in the mind. Just, y'know, the same agony as the first time. But the opposite end result. No big.

About Me I Guess: I just. Want to reiterate like I have before in a review. These fics have brightened my life, so much during my Suddenly doing more Adult years. I've told you before that I love to read and reread chapters whole or just scenes and ah!! I'm working on my own Story that I've kindled carefully and kept it smouldering as I slowly try to make content for it. The main premise was set before I found your work, but I have definatly taken notes, and am hoping to put what I learned (am learning) into my own AU.

Keep your own spirits high, and know I can't wait to see what comes next!!

[katastrophenearu]

Oooh, good theories, and this concept itself is so neat! And, that bit with that ‘chains’ being related to the script? Might be more right than you think. 😉

A card for those important to you. Free to use, but please don't remove my signature.

I wanted to make SOMEthing for Valentine's Day, but not romance-y. A World Reflected, Brightly, and subsequently, Through a Mirror, Darkly, was on my mind today, and I got the idea for this.

I was Very Happy when Sam finally got to eat them croissants. And very touched when he realised how lucky he was. To be out. Not even to be alive, because that was part of the hell There, but to be out (of the script) and learning to be sane again.

From @katastrophenearu 's Cracked Glass AU fics.

[katastrophenearu]

Hahaha, this is cute! I’m happy that part gave you inspiration for your valentines! ❤️

[thehealingsystem-deactivated202]

Ya know, I actually doodle a lot from this fic but had never had the guts to actually post anything. But this is just one of them I think belongs right here.

@katastrophenearu

[katastrophenearu]

Oh my god, I had to atop myself from laughing in the middle of my workplace. That said, I’m still smiling HUGE right now! Thank you so much, this is so great!

[katastrophenearu]

Hi! I love your fic, and I have a question about it: do the toons need to eat? Like I know that they need/can drink ink in the original Hell's Studio au, but it never seemed clear to me where food stood with it. I know in your fic that Boris talks happily about candy of different kinds at one point, can he and the other toons eat human food for fun but have no physiological need for it? But do have a need to drink ink?

I actually asked Doodle this exact question, and the answer is; no, they don’t need human food to survive, but enjoy it as the occasional snack! Ink, however, is a dietary must! ^.^

A World Reflected Brightly, ch 10

Tail wagging lesson.

@katastrophenearu I want you to know I’m in love with all the tiny details you put into characters’ interactions in this series. They’re so sweet

[katastrophenearu]

Oh my gosh, this is adorable!!! 😍

I love Bendy’s intense look of concentration, it’s so on-point with what I imagined! Thank you so much!! And I’m glad you enjoy them, I really do! ❤️❤️❤️

[katastrophenearu]

Since its a new year now, I thought I’d leave a little post saying how much I appreciate you all and the support everyone’s shown me throughout the course of Cracked  Glass’ creation! I never expected this story to get as big as it did, but a good chunk of the reason is because of everyone’s continued support and encouragement. To think, this was once just a one-shot, and now we’re ten chapters into the second part of the story!! And so everyone knows, I appreciate every comment, every like, every piece of fanart, and each and every one of you, too! 

And, for a few more specific shout-outs, there’s @doodledrawsthings of course, who’s brilliant and fun au was the source of inspiration for the story! If you haven’t checked it out for some unfathomable reason, I encourage you to do so, and the rest of Doodle’s art too! Her OCs and Hollow Knight stuff is really fun and neat!

Next up, @waruihoshi! She’s been a wonderful source of encouragement for a long while now, and has become a good friend to me in that time! Her art is great too, and you should check out her own Batim au, The Illusion of Living! Its a fun, interesting concept on the story, and her take on the characters is wonderful.

And it wouldn’t feel right to also not give a shout to @lonelydragoness, who’s gifted me a number of fanart and is also working on translating the entire fic into Russian, which is really cool! Take a gander at their art page too, they have a fascinating style that’s neat to sift through!

And there’s so many more, but since I can’t be here all day unfortunately, just now that I appreciate everyone, as well as your support! I hope to continue to earn it as we go forward, and once again, thank you so much for continuing to follow me on this journey, and I hope you all have a wonderful new years!! <3
