Neferirkare

Nefer/Sal • adult • they/them I also have an account where I reblog non pmd-stuff (to prove that I'm still alive): https://www.tumblr.com/htpdjnswt And an art blog (expect a lot of Ultrakill): https://www.tumblr.com/neferirk-art Anonymous asks are unfortunately turned off currently due to high amounts of bot spam. They will be turned on again once it's possible to do so.

Stuff about me you might want to know

Name: I mostly go by either “Nefer” or “Sal”. If you want to give me another nickname, tho, please do so! I love collecting them.

Age: Over 20, but still a little too scared of ye big olde internet to say more

Pronouns: he/she/they(/whatever) Just as with the name, you can call me by whatever pronouns you like, love collecting those as well.

What this blog’s for: I write fanfiction (you can find me here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Neferirkare_Kakai), and have some really cool readers! Although I am scared of human interaction, I do want to connect with others, so that’s what I’m trying here! Giving updates on what I’m working on and why it’s taking so long this time, giving people a way to contact me that’s not the comments beneath my fic(s), and so on. So feel free to interact with me - I might need some time (read: 3-5 business days) to get back to you, but I’ll try my best!

History Repeats Itself

A little sketch based on an old AU that I might or might not rework sometime.

Bonus points if you can identify the Hero and Partner the mural is inspired by (yes, it's based on Pearl and Darcy from the A Veil of Lies fic by @neferirkarekakai, my lovelies).

Here's a PNG of the mural itself:

While your fanfic is on hiatus, are you still fine with asks about it on this blog or would you prefer to take breaks from thinking about it? I hope things are getting better for you!

Hi, yeah, I am! I might just take....... a week to get back to them because I'm currently insanely busy with real life stuff. But! I've been thinking about AVoL a lot and the only thing holding me back from truly continuing it are the long break meaning I REALLY need to read through it again (which will, of course, take a while and lead to me wanting to edit it agAIN), and just being insanely busy with aforementioned real life stuff.

Thank you for the question and feel free to ask away (this goes for everyone)!

It's about A Veil of Lies, again

The good news: No, it is not getting abandoned. It will never be abandoned. I am willing to write until 2050 if I need to.

The bad news: Yes, it is on hiatus. Officially, even, with this post; and I'm genuinely sorry with how long it took me to muster up the courage to officially declare that.

There are many reasons for this most recent hiatus, which I don't really want to go into, sorry. Instead, I just want to say that I'm incredibly thankful to all of you for being patient with me; and for still treating me with so much grace.

In some other good news, I am actively working for it and have quite a few words to look at. However, I won't post until I have created a big enough fallback to keep posting even if I can't write for half a year or longer again.

So yeah, that's where it's at. Thank you to all of you, again. I will attempt to be more active on this account from now on, and to post some of the beautiful art I have been gifted while I went quiet on here; but it might need some time to get to it/get myself to be brave enough again.

Apologies once again. Have a good week <3

Hiya you three :>

I did a little something :D The short version is that I really like the content you create <3

The long version and me literally pouring my heart out is under the cut :> oopsies my apologies for it even getting so long!

From left to right:

Darcy & Pearl belong to @neferirkarekakai

Just Darkrai & Anne belong to @anirritant

Ark & Twig belong to @sincerely-sofie

So two of you might already know, but I will say it again either way. I had a really rough time around the end of September 2024 with stress that left me almost no free time and meant constant work to do. It was one hell of a month that I had to power through and your content and fanfictions were like the only things that kept me going and powering through it all. I remember the days when I scrolled through Irri‘s blog reading all the silly ramblings and looking at all the cool content and art that you created <333! Then continued to check ao3 and found Sofie‘s fanfic filling the little breaks I could give myself at the beginning of all that stress. Once I finished it all I still remember it giving me such a push to finish one of the many huge things I had to complete in that time. And during the peak and end of it all Nefer‘s fic helped me carry the burden of everything coming together and trying to swallow me whole.

I must say most of these days are just such a blur cause I don’t remember anything else than working and reading, but I know I once laid there on the couch in the middle of the night, pmd music playing in the background and reading Avol. It was one of those moments that happened with all three of your works where I could just drift off and unwind free from the stuff I had to do. So yeah :) I finished everything, am still here and kicking! I think not a lot of people actually speak it out loud when someone encourages them, helps them through a rough time or just in general makes them happy :) I always wanted to let others know when their work is just amazing, so thank you three.

Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. Keep being awesome <3

also here's a silly extra:

If you're reading this and are a true Stefollower, boop @forecast-rain @neferirkarekakai @wolfsthyme for me while I try and follow my biology course. If no one does so, I will exile myself to a small country in Central Europe in shame and defeat.

Chapter 28 of A Veil of Lies is up (this time with a working link, unless tumblr is mean to me again). Quite a bit shorter than other chapters, but be nice to it, that just means it's still a tiny baby chapter.

[neferirkarekakai]

Fanart for the story "Darkrai's Guide to the Care & Keeping of Humans" by the amazing @purple-tumbld! The scene where Darius/Darkrai receives a hat so that his poor night-sight adjusted eyes can have a rest during the day always stuck with me, and so I decided to FINALLY draw it.

I'm once again playing with art styles, trying to figure out how I truly like to do things (answer: different every time). The background was quickly thrown in there and cursed with the blur filter, because backgrounds will never be my favourite thing to draw and if I can find work-arounds (like tracing an in-game screenshot and then blurring the hastily put down colours), I will. Unapologetically.

If you haven't already read the story, please do! It's set in PLA and gives you a wonderful manual on how to get along with trainers (but really, read it. It's an order this time)

You can find the story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47912539/chapters/120798196

A Veil of Lies is back from hiatus, enjoy the newest chapter!

(Edit 24.03: Wait was the link never here. What. Tumblr. Tumblr why do you betray me like this. Well. Uh. Guess link now included but in a very unsexy and unappealing way: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28486989/chapters/138046318 Sorry for that! But also it was tumblr's fault. Curse you, tumblr.)

darkrai was endlessly accommodating of others in a way cresselia never understood. she found it wasteful and undeserved, and sometimes it was

[slugghee]

redrew my favoritest scene...

small ramble under the cut

IT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL IN THE DAPPLED SUNLIGHT LIKE. This is such a gentle image of it. The way Darkrai rises from the shadows all menacingly or whatever but then the sun comes out and the sunbeams fall upon it like they do the rest of the garden makes it clear that Darkrai is a harmonious part of the natural world. That one 10 second scene does such a good job at characterizing the pokemon as a whole. it's such a powerful yet still subtle example of visual storytelling ...

Also here's a version without the sunlight (not sure if i like it more or less)
