Chapter 5 shifts the current just enough to notice.
A calibration, a hesitation, a line spoken too lightly to be harmless.
The Room listens. So do they.
“Progress through imperfection?”
“Don’t make it a motto.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”

Hey y'all! So I've gotten Clip Studio installed on my iPad, all my brushes returned, etc. so this is at least a temporary fix to ensure I can keep drawing until my main tablet either fixes itself (I'll see what happens when that new pen comes in) or until I'm able to finance a new tablet. I'm thinking if I do end up shopping around, I might give XP-pen a try, I've heard great things about them. Anything to prevent me from going back to Wacom, honestly, I know they're touted as the "golden standard" but I've literally used Wacom for like 10+ years up until I got my Huion in 2021 and every tablet I've used from them has wound up being a buggy nightmare. I'd love to stick with Huion but this was my first tablet and while it did last me a couple years, apparently it's a common problem for these guys to not last much longer than that and I'd rather not have to drop hundreds on a new tablet every 2 years.
Now, drawing on my iPad is a lot slower than drawing on my PC as I'm not used to it yet and I'm drawing on a much smaller screen with less keyboard support (my two keyboards that I have are struggling to connect to the Bluetooth for some reason, sigh). So while I'm planning on getting Rekindled back onto its weekly schedule this upcoming Saturday, I might have to make episodes a bit shorter to compensate. All I ask is for y'all to have some patience while I roll out episodes at whatever pace I have to in the comic weeks, I'm just as eager as you are to see Rekindled return but I need to work with what I have and I'm currently operating at about 50% of my normal work output due to the ongoing circumstances. And of course, a huge thanks to @banshriek who's been picking up a lot of my slack while I've been meddling with my tablet issues, not all heroes wear capes ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)
Thank you all so much for waiting through this and supporting my work, I know the wait's ended up being longer than anticipated but I'm hoping it'll be worth it when it returns <3 <3 I've got some great stuff planned for the episodes to come and I'm so hyped to bring it all to you, even if it takes a little longer than I initially hoped for （；´д｀）ゞ
She knew it the minute she parked her car a few blocks down and over as to not be seen when you would eventually come home. She knew it when she hid along the alley's shadows until she hopped your back fence, shushing the dog next door who had come out with a yip.
Dammit, keep it down!
She definitely knew it was wrong when she pushed up your living room window. You kept a few stray milk crates at the back to help you catch rain water in abused kitchen bowls from the gutters you had to get fixed. And for your friends to slip in through if they so chose to forgo the front door or back door.
Friends like JJ Maybank.
Kiara shivered when she thought of him on quiet nights, skateboarding or walking or stealing his dad's truck to come over here. Who knew what you two were up to. Things had gotten a little muddy lately, the jokes you two seemed to be laughing at were those of the inside kind. The secret kind. The slinky kind.
Kiara noticed and would narrow her eyes, and there was a strange new bloom of feelings for the surfing blonde that made her insides twist. After a long night of drinking and laughing and someone thought it was a good idea to start a fucking tickle fight in the Château's backyard, to inquire of that's how Pope had felt.
Did it really hurt like that?
She shut the window quietly once safely inside, pausing to see or hear if you were home yet. Silence. Kiara couldn't risk getting the police called, Shoupe would add another quota and her mom would certainly blow a fucking gasket. She was already mad for a number of years now just why her daughter wanted to hang around riff raff like you on The Cut. So scared she'd end up a Pogue but everyone knew, even before graduation that Kie was meant for the bigger and brighter city lights then stuck out here on the island.
SHIN IN WITH ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE BETA TEXT EDITOR
i have great news! we now have the ability to preview our posts when using the HTML Text Editor in BTE!
it's a little buggy because, for some odd reason, it seems to immediately throw in <h1><br></h1> ( in which i'm guessing has to do with the title ) but it's a step in the right direction with the BTE! all you have to do is remove <h1><br></h1> from the source code and you're able to preview it just fine but still! this is a big deal, guys!
