“Uhh.. Hello?”

“I’m not sure if this thing works, or if I can even get service this far down..”

“I’ve been stuck in these fucking caves for .. I think a week? maybe two? I lost track of time a while ago..”

“I just want to go home. I want the COI to let me go. I feel like I’ve earned my freedom..”

“Please, bring me up..”

“Uh. I guess you can call me “Convict” … that’s what they call me, anyway.”

Where the hell is everything I’ve been working on…?

This Is a Mental Health Update. Because, honestly, I could try and make excuses, and explain, but when it boils down to it, the reasons behind what will be discussed, is my mental health.

I’ve kept a lot of you waiting on unfulfilled promises, and you all deserve the truth.

I’ve promised a many creative projects to you all. There Are Still Stars in Your Eyes chapter 16, April Showers Bring May Flowers chapter 2, The Celebration Where Nothing Goes Wrong part 9, The Dandy’s world animated series, more convineer art, A Lost In Space Trio comic, the Two-Day movie challenge, more Iron Lung fanart, more Simon Character Analysis, more usage of the Darkiplier RP account, more usage of the Simon RP account, more usage of the Tei-8 RP account.

So where is it all? It’s been months. I’ve been out of school a while now, surely some of it should have turned up by now!

… That’s the thing, though. School this year was incredibly draining, and I’ve yet to recover from the burnout. I thought a few weeks off of school would be enough, but it wasn’t. I’ve dug myself into a deep pit, one I’m struggling to climb out of.

On top of that, because of school ending, I’ve been seeing my friends a lot less, which has led to a bit of a depressive spiral. I’m sure some of you have noticed that I’ve been more anxious, doom-posty, and tired. That’s because I’ve fallen back into a depressive episode, and I can’t deny it anymore.

On top of that, I’ve had severe physical health issues. I woke up sick this morning, for one, but there’s a lot more than that. As you may know, I recently got diagnosed with POTS, after having two seizures. The “cure” is to completely change my lifestyle, and diet; Meaning the comfort I got from my favorite foods, and controlling when I wake up, has been revoked.

I haven’t had the motivation for anything. I have dozens of projects around me, and I just can’t bring myself to pick up the pencil. I know you’re all waiting. I’m very sorry.

This may sound silly, but the latest distractible episode, “Burnout,” almost perfectly summarizes how I’ve been feeling. Wade words it in a much better way than I can; so, if you’re curious or worried, please go listen to that.

I may start trying to force myself to work on some of these projects, but it will be slow. I don’t know if or when any of them will release. I’m sorry. I hope you can all understand.

I’m trying.

Thank you all.

i AM going to get back into roleplaying, but SLOOOOWLY. At my own pace. Some asks might not get answered, or it may take me a while to add on to reblog chains, etc. So. Yeaaah. but i will start again! Just don't expect it tobe at the same rate as it was before

[Incoming transmission.]

This is captain Ava speaking. The shuttle is ready for departure. I am requesting your most recently updated map. We formally apologize for the delay. Do you copy?

@ava-hotp

”Uh- Yes! Yes, we copy! I almost thought you abandoned us— I’m sending over my map right now! Thank you, thank you thank you.”

[He didn’t have the energy to be mad about the delay, flooded with relief at being so close to being saved instead.]

[He took a few shitty photos of the map with the camera, then sending them back up to the C.O.I.]

"Food? Alright, sounds good-"

[Callie wooshes her tail and a mountain of food about as tall as Simon himself appears. There are various crates with conserves, stuff that looks like military rations, but also some other stuff that doesn't go bad fast like chips, other snacks, chocolate, etc. On top, there is a crate of the fresh foods that are gonna perish faster. Various meat, fresh fruit, berries and vegetables, mushrooms. There are also some spices and kitchen utensils like plates, forks, spoons, a knife. There's a couple gallons of water also, in case they need that.]

"Wasn't sure what you liked so I just grabbed a little of everything. And- uhm."

[The cat stares at Kieran, contemplating.]

"Fuck it, worse case scenario it doesn't work. Imma try."

[Kieran's sister is now back, alive, healthy, conscious and human, standing right in front of all of them. The same as Kieran remembered her before she was dying.]

-💖

[fffffoooodholyshit. He tore open the top crate, taking out some of the meat and shit, biting into it.]

[He hadn’t eaten anything but undercooked fauna for weeks(plus some of the shit the anons gave him), so safe to say, this was really good.]

alright. I have been thinking a lot. I’m taking a break from roleplaying for at least a day, if not longer.

I’m so fucking tired. It’s been feeling like a chore lately. I just need to step away for a bit. I’ll come back, that’s a promise. I’m just tired from life rn.

Also! I know I promised monster Simon art by the end of the week. I fucking lied. I have art block. If you want me to draw something you need to give me a hyperspecific prompt rn.. anyway yeah

also TASSIYE might not update for a while cus of finals.

so yea

Taking a break.

Project P.I.T report. Title: The construction completion of the SM-14 Date: 121 days since settlement Location: Groundbase workshop Team members: David, Jack, Maria and their respective teams. Report writer- Ava Objectives:

Prepare for expedition

-> Fill the shuttle with necessary survival supplies for a delayed retrieval. As well as medical supplies for the convicts.

-> Final tests of equipment. Lights, pully and cooling device.

-> Prepare crew. Current Crew members: Ava. (me) Future shuttle members: Ava, Convict one (Simon), Convict two (Kieran).

-> Retrieve final map updates.

The construction of the shuttle got delayed. Instead of the expected 48 hours, were approaching 60. No one have slept. Including me. Were so close to finally getting the answers we need, we cant let a few set backs keep us from completing our mission. This is bigger than us.

Observations: The pulley is able to hold the load of the shuttle and then some. It will give us a safe entry and retrieval from the pit. Hopefully that will be enough.

Conclusion: This will be my final report before the mission. I will continue a log and record any conversation with the convicts over the shuttles radio for later research. We will also keep a connection between the shuttle and the station, to better create a height-map of the pit and a route back. We have taken every safety precaution we could think of. They better be worth retrieving.

[Callie squinted back at Simon]

"Hmm.. oh and also I can like warp reality or whatever so. You said you wanted help? I'm gonna warn you, I can't do anything too groundbreaking like bring the stars back or save you from the pit- or else my powers just won't work. But I can help in littler ways. Or, like, temporarily teleporting yoh somewhere else for example. Not permanently. That make sense?"

@d1e-to-surv1ve ”… Can we have edible food. I’ve been killing and eating fauna for a while and that shit’s not easy to catch.”

[Also not healthy. Who knew trying to eat the pit creatures would give you nausea and shit? But what other choice did they have.]

[The kitty let themselves be squished and pet, grinning widely and purring.]

"I'm barely a child, being short is just very convenient for shenanigans like climbing on shelves, but thank you!"

[And for appearing less threatening.]

"I'm Callie, by the way. An anon- or a watcher, chat, a voice or whatever else you call us."

-💖

[@d1e-to-surv1ve] “One of the voices on the radio… Huh. Okay,… I guess..”

”Well. Uh. Nice to meet you? I guess?” [He knelt down, squinting at the kitty.]

anyone...still there?

[Simon looked over at the radio with wide eyes, scrambling to get it from the dash of the shuttle.]

“Yes! Yes, I’m still here. We’re still here. Who is this? Hello?”

the-mother-eden

this is Starlight, from SM-Eden

i...offer help whoever need it....

simon-hotp

”… Eden..?” [He echoed, quietly.]

“No. No. Fuck no— FUCK NO! I’m — I’m not getting used by you again! I would rather fucking rot down here than ever work for you again!”

the-mother-eden

why would you work for me, I...don't..follow you....

There's no one up here but me...

simon-hotp

”. . . You said you’re from—“

[He stopped.]

“No. No. Eden can’t be gone — They can’t be gone. That- there were hundreds—“

"Okie-dokie!"

[And so just in front of Simon, a cute, roughly child-sized anthropomorphic calico cat spawned. It had a hairclip in the shape of a sparkly heart.]

"Halloo! What can I do for you? :D"

-💖

[@d1e-to-surv1ve (bloodpit is so back gng🥹🥹🥹)]

“…. You see that too, right?” [he pointed at the cat. Either he finally lost it, or this was just another absolutely fucking absurd happening of the pit.]
