Went on a very long hike in the local national park today with @tehri and popped right out of the woods in the middle of a little countryside paradise. I didn't have my camera with me, but some of the phone pics I took turned out decent enough to share.

🍀: Sooooo…I think something’s up with Aiden. This morning, Hazel and Duncan were late to training, and he said nothing?? And he told me I did a good job with my form?? Like, who is this guy??? Pretty sure I saw him smile too
You had snuck away from camp for a bit to explore the city when you saw a girl, about 15, in an alley, fighting off a monster. She used what looked a little bit like a flying saucer made of celestial bronze with razor sharp edges, and it seemed as if she was using the winds to control it in midair. She had climbed out of the monster’s reach, but she was bleeding and bruised, one arm dangling uselessly at her side. Her other arm, a prosthetic that looked like it was also made out of celestial bronze, was busy trying to hold on to the ladder she had climbed.
Does anyone know why the Kazumi Magica artist went AWOL like you said to dreamerwitches?
That’s the fascinating thing, right? I can’t seem to find anything about them deciding to. I feel like someone would have likely noticed if the artist had put out a ‘I’m deleting everything.’ or any sort of similar vibe before it happened.
The Cuddly Despairs event ran in October, 2021. The artist did the CG art as well as art for the newly unlocked *5 stars + new Kazumi. Sometime between that event and potentially July/August ish of 2024 ( since there was no ‘goodbye’ art piece made featuring Kazumi characters when Magia Record EOS when everyone Else did one) is when the artist seemingly deleted their online presence.
Now, the rest is under a read more just because I find this situation fascinating, but is really just pure speculation on my end.
Kazumi Magica is such an interesting existence in the catalog of madoka spin-offs, precisely because it seems as if both the creators ( writer and artist) of the manga aren’t very interested in involving themselves further in the Madoka Magica series as a whole than the story they made. I can’t tell if it’s because there’s two people who worked on it vs the other spin-offs, where the artist And writer were the same person, that’s created this sort of vibe where Kazumi keeps getting excluded from the cool magical girl club. Tart also was a two party team with Masugitsune & Kawazuku (under Golden Pe Done), but Masu alone was plenty active in helping with designing new characters and doing multiple Tart events.
I had a whole thing here getting into it the thick of it, but very much every spin-off artist that had their story shown off in the Exedra trailer (GAN, Masugitsune, Kuroe Mura) have all given some form of contribution to Magia Record during the game’s run, if not still doing artwork for the main series, like the MagiReco anime end cards and other miscellaneous works.
I’m not expecting Masaki Hiramatsu( Kazumi Writer, still around) to have picked up a tablet pen and done something in place of no longer having an artist for his series. He seems to be plenty busy writing for the Bleach anime right now by the looks of things. I want to make it clear : I do not think he does not care for Kazumi. He clearly does with how he didn’t like how the first Magia Record Kazumi event was written, and then seemingly assisted with it on the second go. I feel as if the same would likely happen for Exedra too to ensure the story is properly retold.
anywhos!
Simply put, I believe the artist of Kazumi Magica, for one reason or another, retired from being an artist or does not want their art to be available online.
This is slightly unrelated, but to give you an idea where I’m going with this, I occasionally buy adopts and customs from other artists, and if I had a nickel for every artist I’ve worked with that has scrapped their existence from the Internet entirely due to AI concerns, I would have eight nickels. Again, I cannot confirm nor deny that is why the Kazumi artist decided to scrub everything, as we do not have an official confirmation. However, it would not surprise me if that was the case.
Even if unlikely at this point, the artist could always make a comeback to work on Exedra! I feel like they might leave Kazumi as the last spin-off they'll add, just to sorta see if they could maybe Find said artist. I’m just…not holding my breath for it as of now.
Which comes to another question: When Kazumi inevitably gets added to Exedra, who is going to do the art? I know there’s someone on the f4 team that can do a good impression of Ume Aoki’s art style, but I’m not sure if they can do the same with Kazumi…? I feel like there are many artists around and involved in the series now that there’d be someone who wouldn’t mind picking up the task…
So currently I have my lush in and I’m playing a pattern called “impossible to last all 6 minutes” and I’ll be honest… I have, in fact, never lasted all 6 minutes 🙈🙈🙈 do y’all think I can do it?
so basically this is my new sideblog where im planning on posting all of my writing, doesn’t matter if it’s good or not fdghhhjh
my name is aura and you can find out more about me and the fandoms i write for here. i want you to know that my requests are open, feel free to request any headcanons or short stories ideas for a:tla or the other fandoms listed on my about page i linked above. keep in mind that it might take a while to get your request done or i might feel uncomfortable about a certain topic and refuse to write it.
also for starters i’d like to present you with my new project which i’m currently working on and i’m hoping to get the first chapters released soon!
the tale of a thief and a prince - zuko x reader
“Your life was never simple. You’ve spend a good portion of it trying to survive in the crowded streets of Ba Sing Se, stealing from vendors and trying not to get arrested or worse... killed. After years of living like a stray dog you became street smart, sly and most importantly - a skillful thief. Who would’ve known that one failed attempt at pickpocketing an elderly man would change your life forever...”
or a story in which uncle Iroh and Zuko stay in Ba Sing Se for a little while longer and your paths cross one faithful day. as a result you get a job at jasmine dragon and for the first time in years you begin to feel like your life is becoming relatively normal. except nothing about it is normal because your new employer is not who he says he is, and neither is his nephew, Lee. now it’s up to you to uncover their real identities. also, what does the avatar have to do with all of this? it seems like you got yourself caught up in quite a mess.
i’m currently working on first chapters of the story, i’m hoping to get them posted soon!

I will always eagerly advocate for legal name changes and I firmly believe we need to normalise changing your name for whatever reason, even if you've already changed it before once, twice, hell, even if it's been 15 times. Your name is for you first and foremost, and you should feel comfortable and happy with your name. Yes, even if it inconveniences someone else. And yes, even if your name has sentimental value to someone else.
