Little chit chat post update-

I'm trying to set up my online shop in Ko-Fi instead so I can offer a wider variety of options by ordering the products directly on Wooacry.

Encountering some difficulty figuring out wtf to do about shipping prices haha- but we'll make it :D eventually, at least- I may limit shipping to specific regions, idk... Still figuring it out.

On a brighter note, this lil 1 by 1 inch goober should be available once I do figure that out!

I'll keep y'all updated :)

Advice / suggestions are extremely welcome, I'm very confused lmao

Romancing Davrin is so damn fun in part because he's just so damn healthy. He's not facing a big crisis or great loss, he's just navigating having the new responsibility of taking care of and training Assan. I mean, that's not a little thing, but it's a very normal thing without heaps of angst.

And how he deals with the romance? Yup, I confidently like you and btw, you need to know this reasonable thing, that you have to accept Assan as part of the deal, to be with me. Like, that's some mature boundary stating right there.

No shade for the other romances (I love the Zev and Lucanis romances after all and they're all about a partner with Issues), it's just that it feels good to have a model of a stable partner and healthy romance.

I also love that the friendship with Lucanis is so important. Being his friend is at least as important to him as being his lover.

I feel like I've been left to grow up by myself. It feels like my parents don't know what to do with me now that I'm an adult. A lot of parents seem used to their children being small; once they hit puberty and become adults, the parents don't know what to do with them anymore. Once the children are no longer malleable or moldable into a version of themselves, the parents lose their way.

I'm left to figure it out by myself. There's no guidance on how to navigate the 'adult' world. I was so sheltered during my adolescence, but now that I'm on my own and my age is getting serious, I've been abandoned to figure it out alone. No guidance whatsoever. I think my parents don't know what to do with me anymore, and the saddest part? I don't know what to do with myself either.

You know what's even more pathetic? I wish I had a big sister. Someone I could depend on and learn from. Being the 'tough' one and the 'knowing' one all the time is exhausting. I wish I had a big sister to guide me and be there for me as I navigate this next chapter. I don't need permission on how to live my life anymore, I'm not a teenager. I'm allowed to live the way I want to.

And I know they wish that one day I'll change, that one day, I'll figure it out. But right now, I'm lost. I can't lie. I feel lost. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. It feels like there's no way out. I'm just going in circles, stuck in a loop. It's exhausting and tiring, trying and fighting just to survive.
