Hello Guysss! 2018 is ENDING in a few days!

Actually, very very few days. 

And yes while I haven’t been here for a very very long time, not that much active in posting and as we all know, Tumblr with its change of rules and regulations, most of us will most likely be on Tumblr less for various reasons. 

However, doesn’t mean I’m completely quitting Tumblr. Instead, this will just be one of the blogging/writing/writing-socmedia platforms that I will have less active presence for. Meaning, I won’t be as active, but I’ll be here occasionally. 

Whaaaat? But whatcha gonna do with this blog from now on then? 

Good question. So here are the things that’ll (very 99.95% happening): 

- Complete overhaul: Older posts blah blah the archives will remain, though I need to do a lot of backup. Newer posts will mostly aim to specific Tumblr-only fandom contents that I am into here. For example, if I am on Tumblr and I am gonna post something related to BSD, it’ll only just be on BSD. 

Of course I am in other fandoms as well but that’s why the tags are extremely useful. 

- A bit cleaner, perhaps simpler theme for easier navigation: I haven’t totally figure this one out yet but I’m just thinking of changing to a new theme soon that’ll be more clean and simple, but also concise and direct that navigating will be easier. 

- Occasional Sales Post: Because the thing is, I do have followers and most of my buyers and potential buyers are on this blog, so I think it’s easier to connect and contact through this main account/blog. It’s also easier for me to review on items that are on PO/sold/pending, etc. Basically, keeping accounts will also be easier on here. 

Okay, so you will still be selling things on this blog?

Yes. 

In regards of what I’ll be selling on here, it’ll mostly be Bungou Stray Dogs. 

But there will also be other series. 

Such as:  - Hypnosis Mic  - Akenasasu Shoujo  - Persona 5  - Marvel Universe  - UtaPri  - Others  “But you’re not even a fan of some of these titles...”

Yes, but that’s because if I can offer a split and there are people who want to buy, then I’ll offer for sale. Also, depending on the characters in it, I would usually take 1-2 out of the box split for a friend or myself. Usually for titles I’m not a fan of, it’s the former. 

What about your fanfics? Will you still post them here? 

I’m not too sure about that just yet, tbh. Part of me don’t want to rely too much on posting new fanfic works on this blog just because I have an audience here, but I also want to really start fresh and anew so I am considering making a new separate blog just for my fanfics. 

I already have a NSFW-specific fanfic works I’ve written here:  Go to: Ambrosia Fictions

New M/NSFW written works may be updated there (but as we pretty much know, grey as it is, written p’awrn’ could be compromised).

If I am going to publish in a new blog site, I’ll update as well. 

For general fanfics I write, newer ones may not be posted as actively here anymore, but if I am publishing them elsewhere, will update here. 

WILL YOU STILL POST UPDATES OF YOUR CHUYA SHRINE HEREEE?

Lol yes yes I will =P New shrine pic coming soon before 2019 rolls in, I promise. 

Where else will you be if not here?

WHOO LOOK AT ME as I am finally getting around to making this post hahaha It’s been very sorely late when I had this in the draft since a week after New Year

So... to start with, very belated but Happy New Year! 

How have your 2018 started so far? XD;; Mine.... ehhh... as I had mentioned in the last post, it hasn’t been that great.

Still, that doesn’t stop me from sharing some happiness XD well but better than never!

Here are some pics of some hauls I’ve got so far >w< there’s more but I’ve picked these few. 

The GraffArt Christmas tumbler is very small XD I’ve been using a lot to drink tea mostly haha. The GraffArt illust paper that covers the bottle is removable, just gotta twist open the inner bottle to take it out. 

Fresh up and ready for 2018, I got the 2018 wall calendar off CDJapan on a pretty last minute pre-order. I really like this style more than the 2017 one because this time, most of the illustrations are from the best Animage and PASH ones. And FINALLY, a Chuya that falls on a June. My only problem is only that it’s horizontal so was a bit hard to find space for it to hang on my wall ;w;; 

The 2018 desktop calendar came together with my AGF2017 hauls from a personal proxy (bless herrrr). She got me the file and badge sets for BSD Mayoi Halloween along with the calendar. Initially, I wanted only the badge and file set but then I couldn’t resist when I saw the revealed illustrations for each pages of the month for the 2018 desktop calendar so it was also a pretty last minute addition. So thankful, she got them all for me. 

Autumn (or was it Moon Rabbit? I can’t remember) festival Marui Branch! BECAUSE. LIKE I SAID, I couldn’t resist XD! A lot of my friends joked how his expression is really weird, and even I have to half admit it kinda is but hey I still love him. He looks... well, XD; sometimes... you know... the things you do for love.... 

But to be honest it look more to me like he was uh, looking or trying to look flirtatious. Ohohohooo

Welp that’s about it for now! 

I will be posting a bit more, although I cannot promise too much frequency as well as I am starting my Bachelors this year and it’s going to be pretty hectic starting then. Still, will try to keep updated! 

Am I still going to offer splits and selling merch? Yep. I have some things with me that I still want and need to sell, I just haven’t got around to really set up sale posts for them and offering splits just yet. I also need to secure some preorders first before I officially open splits. 

Thank you to every one of my buyers who had been so kind and patient with me. I know some of you for a very long time, about almost a year I think? Again, I cannot thank you enough. 

I will try my best to be more efficient with my merch selling ;w;; Even though I may not be able to have too much ample time but I’ll still try my best. So, if you’d like to, please do look forward to any future splits and merch that I still have with me to sell! 

Other than that, of course, as this is still my personal blog, I’ll post time to time about what’s going on with my life >w< XD it’ll probably get very interesting with a spice of suffering. 

It’s going to be near the end of January, but I hope you all have a great start of the year! 

Much love, 

Jasmine

Hello!!! I’m not dead but very belated Happy New Year!!  A little update time!

To start off, I’m really not dead. 

Although in a sense of being... not too dead, I fell sick. 

December has been an extremely busy month, I don’t even know when I really did rest but when I did, it didn’t feel like resting. 

And then I caught a cold and cough on Christmas week, just around the time after I had sent out everyone’s belated packages and I still have a few more with me that I have yet to send and I owe a ton of apology to them, as well as dearly indebted to how patient and kind they are of me. 

On New Year’s Eve, I had a fever and that same week, I became swollen and bloated. Which was a clear sign of my relapse [Incase if anyone does not know or have not read my About Me page, here’s a short summary: I’m a frequent relapser of my kidney disease that I have since young called ‘Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome’]. 

Sure as hell, I went to my Nephro clinic for walk-in and confirmed I have a relapse. Thankfully, it is not a full blown one but it’s still a relapse - so I have been starting on 8 tablets of steroids as treatment for remission, and they increased my Cyclosporin dosage from 50MG to 75MG. The reason of suspicion for this time’s relapse is possibly because my last doctor decreased my Cyclosporin dosage too fast and my body wasn’t able to adapt to the sudden drop of the dosage so this time, lesson learned, they are tapering it down slowly. 

That’s... about what is covered with my health and that I’m not really dead, but I cannot really absolutely say I am great. 

I have to admit it has made me feel really shitty these few days and I had been avoiding people as much as I can; even explaining about my condition is tiresome for me. At the same time, I’m still very grateful that there are people who care. 

Just like you all who have been keeping up with this blog, despite it’s lack of activity, I still feel I owe you all an explanation and apology for my absence at least. 

I also need to explain a few things that I have plan for this blog. 

No, I’m not shutting down this blog or discontinuing it. I have no such intention, but the changes would be kind of minor. 

But I need to save that for another post. This post is mainly to be an ‘update post’ of what’s going on with me. And that, again, I’m back and not dead.

Oh wow. Been so long!

I haven't been here in so long, feels like forever (actually it has been forever anyway. Haha)

How things have really changed.

I've been wanting to come here for a while and make a bit more changes to this blog as it still being my main blog and it holds too many sentimental value for me to just leave this behind.

So an update will be on the way soon!

Much love,

Jasmine

[euphorica-smiles]

HELLOOOOOO wow how long has it been

Yes I know. Been very very very very long.

Actually I do check up here once in a while but the thing is, ever since my Tumblr on mobile just got weirder after each update, I really stop checking.

I've actually been dying to do a major clean-up, update and so many things with this blog/main tumblr as I have very very fond memories being here - in a way, this place has really shaped me through the years and part of that is also because of the followers I still have here.

The thing is however, I also noticed that people have also started asking if I still have some of the BSD merch here available with me and truth be told, I really forgot to update as life really got me off track.

At any rate, one of the updates:

I'm still going to keep this blog running.

As mentioned, I have very fond memories being here; I even come here once in a while for sake of nostalgia and stuff. Though because in the recent postings here has been mostly on sales post, I've moved on personal blogging to my other side-blogs and blogs like in Wordpress.

That may slowly change depending on how things go as I want to go back to my original roots when I started here, so who knows.

As I'm working as a part time writer as well, that also means I don't get a lot of time with my own personal and creative writing - which is also why I wish to utilize this space again at a later time to really indulge in that in this space.

That being said, I hope everyone is doing well!

I know in my last update, these two years have been very rough, so I really am hoping in the deepest of my heart that everyone stays well and safe there.

I appreciate you all a lot.

Please do not hesitate to message me here or anywhere out of Tumblr. I am reachable by email as well: [email protected]

Love,

Proper Announcement: No longer doing any Animanga merch.

Well, I wouldn’t really say ‘not anymore’ but more like it’ll be on pending hiatus for a very long time. I think about at least given half the year for many reasons but to boil it down to a few for update purposes here:

1. I really cannot keep up financially and since I’m an independent seller, even doing box splits for characters that I specifically want was quite taxing. It has been fun and of course I love all the merch (especially more for my Chuya shrine) but seriously it’s been eating up on my other side finances, and me being currently a full-time student isn’t really helping on that end.

2. My love for BSD is still very strong, but not as strong as before as I noticed, much as I hate to admit. I’m not disconnecting from it durr but there’s just this sense of need for me to take time to rekindle my love for it. Still love Chuya though <3 numbah one husbando.

3. TBH, I feel like this blog, ever since I’ve mostly been prioritizing updates on merch sales, it has drifted away from being an actual personal blog and I really really don’t like it. Just felt like each time I come here, I have to remember ‘Oh shit, merch. Right. Yeah. Got people I gotta update’. So I feel there’s a huge need to some overhaul of this blog.

I really don’t want to detach from this blog, this blog has served so much for me for almost a decade, and coincidentally it being 2020 that has to be the year I decide to want to affirm my grounds with it.

So who knows, but I think I’ll have more plans for this at a later time.

Anyway, with that, I really want to express my deepest gratitude to the very few who has stuck by me, bought from me, been patient with me and have been returning buyers for specific characters on some splits I’ve done for a while.

You all are what kept me grounded here and kept me on my toes hehe.

Thankyou so much!

Till then!

*SCREAMS* So many BSD Dead Apple Merch! I CRI.

Now you all can probably be ready to cry with me because I have quite a lot of preorders lined up, even the ones that are already in-stock with me which I haven’t really put up for sale yet. 

But I have to make an emphasis on this: 

After this, I am NOT going to take any more request on late payments, personal request (i.e: ‘Please book Dazai for me before anyone else’) I’ve been having A LOT of problems with both of this issues and frankly I’m going to put a stop to it. 

I’m only an independent seller so you have to understand that when you keep requesting without paying for them first and then the order keeps piling, I have to cover quite a lot of loss. It’s really not fair for me. And it’s also not fair to other people who wants the same item as you but because of a ‘booking system’, they don’t get it. 

So simple: You want it, you pay for it on the spot. You can’t pay for it, then it’s not yours. I even stated before that ‘reservation period’ can only be up to 2 weeks at most.

Additional to this: Do note that I have every right to decline your order or your request if I find it inconvenient or under unacceptable circumstances.

So, are we clear? I hope we are. 

I’m already starting my Bachelors so once again I would like to update that I may not be able to open that many splits, and I might be a tad slow with deliveries and such. 

I still want to thank many of you who have not only been supportive of me as a blogger here but also with buying merch that I do put up for sale here. 

Okay so that’s about it! 

Thank you very much!

Update and some serious news. In a way.

So I’ll get right into it:

I have another relapse from my Minimal Change Disease/Nephrotic Syndrome and this time it’s not only a full blown relapse, but I’m also diagnosed with Hepatitis C (after some months of repeats and lab error...blergh). 

Anyway, there’s been a ton of things on backlog and put on hold ever since I got sick. One of them include putting one of the YJ16 project on hold and well uh, long story. 

That also includes writer’s blocks and many other of my writing projects need to be put on hold. 

The more important highlight here that I want to make for this post is that while things are really busy and hectic and being sick is really no fun, I’m still semi-active. 

For those who have bought BSD merchs and other merch from me, as I have notified to some of you, I’ll try my best to really pick up a time somewhere within this month to ship out your goods. I’m tremendously sorry about this. It’s really hard for me to get anywhere now without a wheelchair and some assistance from family to get by as I am more wheelchair-bound now. 

Other than that, I am really looking forward to blogging and being active around here again ;__; I really do. I got so much to share and blah really. 

In any case though, if anyone’s interested, I’m mostly around on Twitter so a lot of micro updates from me there. If you wanna follow me on TW, here it is: @hakureihime

That’s all for now. 

Till then. 

Much love.
