YEAAAH Oh my gosh I really liked that, that was such a fun read!! I love Dazai's Very Rapid descent into madness over everything aksdjfksdfj I found him very sufficiently pathetic!! I am always a huge fan of Dazai just. Malfunctioning. Eeeee thank you for sharinggg <333
Doodle page to try and teach myself how to draw again! :D (I got a new job and it has been taking up all my energy and brainpower so it has Been A Bit lol)
Ahahaha I suppose you could put it that way — I have been having a ~ T I M E ~ (Here, have a Chuuya I doodled recently, anon!)
(General life ramblings under the cut, CW for talk about a sick animal)
This year has been such a mess, but some things have started getting better! One of my roommates got displaced from her job a few months ago, which made our housing situation kinda iffy for a bit there — fortunately she just managed to be rehired somewhere else, which puts us more on an even keel for now. My own financial situation is still not great though, so I very much need to Work On That aksdfjksdjfksd but I have a whole lot less work experience than both my roommates so that's. A problem. Especially with the current state of things. And in the meantime we've had a sick cat for the last...
...
Actually, I'm not exactly sure when our cat got sick, a big chunk of the last year has turned into a blurred mess of stress in my head — but basically, earlier this year my other roommate decided to get Four New Cats and one of the four was a kitten who turned out to have FIP, which is a real nasty disease that almost killed him before our vet figured out what was wrong with him (it's pretty rare, and there's no test for it, so it was a process of elimination that very nearly took too long)(plus the way his symptoms showed up was a bit unusual for FIP)
We managed to get the right treatment for the kitten, and he got through the series of meds and has rapidly improved in terms of FIP symptoms, but after he went off the medicine he immediately got a bad herpes flareup (which is not uncommon, sounds like, FIP is really hard on the immune system) so he's continued to be sick for the last couple months, and got some, uh... I'll just call them 'nasty skin effects', in the interest of not being graphic, which have only recently begun healing properly. He also keeps sneezing, because herpes in cats is also a respiratory disease, which I wasn't aware of. So we're still having to give him a set of antivirals/anti-inflammatories twice a day, as well as keep him in a cone to keep him from reopening anything by scratching his face (again -_-), and the kitten is very not happy about any of it. It takes two of us to get the meds in him, it's a constant arms race between us figuring out new ways to hold him in place and the kitten figuring out how to fight out of our grip, and the whole thing has just been real draining — but! Definitely worth it, because it still seems he has a good chance of pulling through and getting healthy again.
Anyway! Between that and some family troubles (my grandparents have been having a real bad time this year), plus the general state of the country I live in, I've just been reaaaal exhausted lately. I started hating all of my art and writing for a bit, mostly because I haven't had the energy to work on improving and making things how I want them to be, but I'm slowly getting out of that headspace and getting myself to have fun making stuff again! So, progress. If a bit slow, but progress nevertheless! 👍
By my calculations, with the extras added in, I now have this amount of sentences to write on each WIP:
60 for Howl AU, 33 for Skyline Pigeon, 37 for Teleporting Nonsense, 21 for the OC horror-romcom, and 6 for Rose! That is a really good baseline goal for all of them, tbh :0
Thank you to everyone who helped give me more sentences to challenge myself with! I shall begin this very day >:3
Rules: Make a 24hr poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It’s fine if you only have one, still make a poll for the vote count). Whichever WIP title gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.

Hm! I think I will also go with the rule of "will write a sentence for every vote on each option" rather than just whichever gets the most votes, because I do genuinely want to work on all of these :D
Zero-pressure tags: @feralrookie, @iwritenarrativesandstuff, @macavitykitsune, @moonsoupstar-ao3, and anyone else who sees this and feels like joining!
(In reference to the WIP poll game) Why must you make me choose? I want to select all of them. Such difficult choices…
(I’ll choose one eventually/before the poll ends, but the decision is hard lol)
Alsksjdjf that’s so nice to hear anon, thank you!! Tell you what, for you I will add +1 to the count of each option, and also for the other people I saw say that they wanted to choose more than one :0
(My intent is to give myself a lot of sentences to write on each project, so that hopefully by the time I’m done with the challenge I’ll be in a better writing habit — so adding extra works out in my favor lol)

(would you mind if i tag you in more of my art/comics?)
Go for it!! I've been kind of inconsistently online lately because of ~more life events~ (hahahahassfksdjkfsjdkf) so it may take me a little bit to respond sometimes, but I would love to see! :D
