An update

Hi, so y’all have probably noticed I haven’t really been posting as scheduled. This is for many reasons: The writing is a lot of work and I suck at managing my time correctly, the set up I had intended this podcast to be (a compilation of submissions and an advice column) hasn’t panned out, and my mental health issues are becoming more stressful as the school year progresses. Those of you who are really paying close attention will have noticed that I deleted my SoundCloud account and the two episodes that were put out. I will be deleting the posts on this blog that contained links to the episodes. The reason I have taken them down is that I was unhappy with the quality and would like to do this podcast when I have the time and resources to do it properly. I LOVE the world of E.U., and I want any art I put out that bears it’s name to be something I am proud of. I will still answer asks and post submissions if they are sent to this blog, maybe occasionally reblog things or post some original writing. If asks and submissions pick up to the point where I can make the compilation-style podcast i originally intended, or I find myself in a better place to produce higher-quality content without it being detrimental to my schoolwork, life, and mental health, I will resume producing the podcast. @elsewhereuniversity, my dear archivist, I express my deepest regrets at not being able to carry this project through to fruition at the current time, and hope sincerely that I will be able to do so in the future. (I think I worded that correctly to avoid indebting or just generally fucking myself). My regrets and appreciation, dearest listeners, and my hopes that we will again meet and sing and revel (once I get my shit together),

Whats up, some of you may have seen me around campus already, but my name is Bear. (I mean I'm a pretty big guy I dont exactly blend in.) Until now I have been a bit of a shut in but I finally got the courage to make my own blog.

Foxes

Out of curiosity the fox I met the other day had two tails. Is this normal? I thought it impolite to ask the fox so I did not, but must admit I'm rather curious.

She goes by Saturne. If you feel the other eyes, never mention them, and by god and iron, never look.

Some Backstory

Okay. So I didn’t actually apply to EU. I lived in West Virginia in the woods surrounded by trees and had plans all worked out until the letter showed up. There have always been dozens of crows around my house and the crows are the ones who brought me this letter. My grandmother leaves bird seed out to feed the crows sometimes and so I gave the one carrying the odd old looking letter a handful of seed and it flew off. My grandmother turned pale when she saw the letter and left quickly to the spare room where she works on her projects. Upon coming out later in the evening she had handed me a necklace of fine silver chain with thirteen wooden rings around it. She told me to never take it off. I applied and declared my major to elsewhere especially after I saw the amount of scholarships I was being given to attend. So the week before classes started my grandmother helped me back my bags and off I went to start university. Grandmother had given me a list of very specific rules but most of them were the ones I followed at home anyway so it hardly mattered.

The Crows

So I kinda wanted to talk about my experience with the crows. I think they are quite majestic, especially here. I talk to them sometimes about almost anything, mostly if I feel a bit lonely. They listen, even though they might not care for what I talk about. Maybe its just the sweets I occasionally bring, who knows. I know they understand me, you see the intelligence in their eyes. Lately I was talking to then about how I made my blog and one of the crows perched on the bench right next to me. So I told him(her?) about things and how I enjoy helping Marigold with stuff she doesn't know. (like otp and other info) The crazy part is that when I talked about that the crow seemed to nod at me almost in thanks, it was probably my imagination though. Regardless, I used my emergency m&ms packs and let the crows have a few extra sweets. They're pretty cool.
