#final goodbye

[thedeceitsharemau]

...I have bad News, I Don't know if My account will make it after being Falsely flagged. I'm scared if this will ever get banned, I don't know if this will be a final goodbye for all my followers of the Deceits Harem au, even from all the story I tell and the joys of this au. I am scared of what will happen in the future... Just let you know that I am thankful for the followers who supported me on this journey.

Edited: TURNS OUT IT WAS ALL A FRAUD AND A SCAM!

[the-thursday]

Hello everyone, this post was long overdue, and finally, prompted by our beloved Howls also leaving, it's time for me to rip off the bandaid as well.

I would also like to announce a sort of departure from Ranger's apprentice fandom.

I do not know how many from RA fandom era from few years back are still here but I assume mostly newer blogs keep up with this account.

Take a lil history walk with me, if you will. I joined this fandom around 2017-18. I was very active around here, posting all kinds of stuff, fics, takes, incorrect quotes, art and whatnot. I made many friends with whom I had a great time and I am happy and honoured that I am friends with some of them till this day. Fandom became the second home to me as things hadn't been exactly easy irl and maybe I fixated on it too much, but gods know I loved this place so much. And I wish for everyone to experience this happiness and just as I made friends who became a significant part of my life, I wish that for you as well. Being surrounded by amazing and wonderful people and sharing similar interests is one of the most pure joyous feelings in this world.

As 2020-2021 rolled around, some of you know that things in my life picked up a harsh pace and I started to drift away. In 2021 I left the fandom because of that and unpleasant things with one of the people here. It was one of the most gut wrenching decisions I had made.

In 2022, I started gradually getting worse, but also had the courage to come back at the end of the year. I felt happy and welcomed and I am so grateful to everyone who made it happen, who supported me and gave me another breath. My mental health kept getting worse but I wasn't alone and that has been everything to me.

Now it's about a little more than a year since I've been back and again, I've met wonderful amazing people who I am happy and honoured to call friends. I don't regret coming back and I am happy I did, however I think it's time for me to go again. And below, I hope to explain why.

Like I said, I've been getting worse. Last autumn and this winter have been very difficult for me and I had to rethink some priorities, as life is going on the time left for me to invest in fandoms is getting thinner and thinner. Unfortunately, among them, isn't keeping up with this fandom. With my next words I hope not to insult anyone. The truth is, I don't find enjoyment in the fandom and content itself anymore, or more like, as much as I used to. I don't exactly vibe with posts for roughly the past half a year and I don't mean this in negative way, I just think it's for me to move on. All of the new people that I've seen have wonderful content and while I don't exactly vibe like I used to, I can see that you're having fun and that's important! People come and go and I do wish all the newcomers and seniors who are still here to have a great time, but I don't think I have energy, capacity and vibes to be part of it anymore. As you know, my blog has been very much inactive for a long time, aside from dumping my dumb sketches or reblogging something here and there. And rather than letting it rot, I'd like to cleanly move on. Anyhow, on self deprecating note, since really it's not like I've been someone prominent I don't think this is a loss to the fandom and this makes it easier for me.

So to summarise, my leaving is about personal things, my life moving and the fact I don't have the mental capacity or motivation to actively keep up.

So what does this mean? I won't be posting RA related stuff on this blog anymore. This blog will turn into a neutral main blog and I'll create one side blog for art that I hope to continue to make and maybe one blog dedicated to the work of Brandon Sanderson.

However, it doesn't mean that I am not up to goof around about RA anymore, however this will be done in DMs. If I sometimes get to draw and post RA related art, it shall be posted on my new art blog with RA tag. However, I don't think there's a high probability of public RA art from me anymore, because 1) need to move on and 2) I have a very strong and maybe confrontational opinion about art in this fandom that has given me a bad taste and discouraged me from enjoying making it and posting it. I won't go into details because I don't want to sour this post for myself and for y'all with it.

I want to thank this fandom for everything it has been for me and for everyone and I wish y'all some happy fandoming!

Yours only,

The Ranger Thursday 11

Samson by Regina spektor RadioApple

This song has been churning in my head nonstop for the past 2 days so of course I have made it Radioapple flavoured 📻🍎

I know a lot of people believe the song is supposed to represent Delilah’s perspective of Samson in the bible… but holy crap it fits so GODAMN PERFECTLY and could easily be seen through Alastor’s eyes.

I guess it could be seen as a kind of AU where Lucifers original title was Sam/Samuel/Samson, Alastor found and watched over him in his depression for 7 years, this would be their goodbye.

Lyrics with notes:

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth [Alastors unspoken chains holding him back]

I have to go, I have to go [Lucifer berating himself for not being able to rule over hell and care for his daughter]

Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of Wonder Bread

And went right back to bed

And the history books forgot about us [Alastor being forgotten on earth after his death]

And the Bible didn't mention us [Hinting towards Lucifer being ignored by heaven]

And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once [and that it’s probably for the best]

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads [Remembering the countless attacks from heaven]

But they're just old light, they're just old light [Reminding Lucifer heaven is in the past and to look forward]

Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

Told me I was beautiful

And came into my bed

Oh, I cut his hair myself one night

A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

And he told me that I'd done alright

And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light

And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of Wonder Bread

And went right back to bed

Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down [Mentioning their failed attempts at trying to discreetly negotiate with heaven]

Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one [Laughing at the stupidity of heavens council]

And the history books forgot about us

And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first

*He had a proper funeral but I didn't want to drag you guys through another one so soon.

[thecluelessdoctor]

its not long now before KOSA is going to congress, and likely approved.

I want to say goodbye. Being on here has been wonderful, and I'll miss everyone.

Maybe by some miracle this bill won't be passed, but it's unlikely. So take this as my final.. goodbye.

We're all gonna miss this trainwreck..

Most of all..

Thank you all for everything. Thank you.. so much.

But before it's finalized, let's do everything we can to stop it. We need to stay determined!

Stay strong. For everyone

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr

And any other petition

Who knows

Maybe a miracle will happen

Damian's Letter To Raven

from the fanfic: From A Dearly Departed

My beloved Raven. If you are reading this it means something bad has happened to me. I wish it wasn’t the case, and I wish I could hold you in my arms and tell you that everything will be okay.

But I know everything won’t be. Not for you who I left behind. I hope I died fighting and even more so, fighting to protect you. 

I hoped that I had at least got to tell you I love you and gave you that ring I always promised. I hope I got to call you my wife and we built a life together. The one we kept talking about.

But if I didn’t do any of those things I promised, and I didn’t get you that ring and that house. There is still something I can give you now. 

We talked about having kids. And if that is something you still want beloved, I have frozen my sperm. I wanted to surprise you. But if you're reading this letter, it means that I've died and didn't get to tell you.

Beloved, you must know, however, that I didn't plan this in the event that I die. It was my failsafe in case something bad happened to me on a mission and I couldn't give you a child. You know how I always worry about all the chemicals being tossed around on missions which might make me sterile.

If you still want a child with me, I'm giving this option to you. I know it's not exactly what we talked about. And I wished it wasn't this way, but beloved if there was something I could give to you, it's that dream of having kids with me.

I have given instructions to my mother, if there is anyone, I trust to do the procedure on you, it would be her. She is more than capable.

Raven. I love you. I hope this letter is something you will never get to see. But if it does. Know that I love you more than anything. And whatever you do, my love will never change.

Raven. Live well for the dreams I couldn't fulfill. And I'm sorry that I've hurt you. I wish I could wipe your tears and hold you in my arms.

I love you, Raven. My beautiful beloved Raven.

With love, always, always with love. Damian, your Robin.

~.~.~.~.~.~

The full letter without Raven's breakdown.

I think I did well (in writing this), what do you think?
