Crying same! — thank you guys for sticking around and im really sorry for missing my own dates, im really stressed in RL and I haven’t been able to get in the safe space to write 😭 I thought today I could binge type but I think the New Neighbours (landlords family….landlord owns the whole building 🤮) and I’m

I hate living in this world sometimes

All that is to say I’m conscious I’ve promised dates and not met them and I’m very grateful for everyone still supporting me / sending me encouragement like this. It means a lot. I promise ch18 will be soon and it will be big! ❤️😭

Announcement: Hiatus Status

Thank you to everyone for loving and liking my game even during the hiatus. It's been 3 (and more) months since Chapter 2 is out and my hiatus. I know there's a lot of you who have been patient (and those who have forgotten about my game, I don't blame you - I write slower than most writers, honestly.)

But I'm proud to say that my practicum's mock teaching is over! :D I mean, I still have a presentation on the 22nd (Next Thursday) but I think I can jump the gun early by saying that I am out of hiatus. (I prepared my presentation slides and finished them last week - just waiting on my lecturer to give me the OK if the slides are suitable for the workshop).

But yes, you read it right: I am back to writing again!

And as a treat, not to mention the reason for another long delay on Chapter 3, I want to present you guys a sneak peek of what I'm planning here:

There are going to be club/community choices for the MC to be a part of to not only improve their skill stats but also build more interactions with people related to these clubs/communities. This also means a lot more branching, so there are four choices in each of them for dialogue purposes too.

I haven't decided if I should make the friendship stats yet, but I try not to think too deep on it when I need to just write what I can/feel is right.

So far, I got the combat club going with some progress. I haven't decided on who'll be in the other clubs, but I feel like R and Desiro will be in filling in for two of the clubs (Desiro in the community get together due to his charisma, and R in the first aid class because of having experience in handling medical care on morons that TOTALLY doesn't involve a reckless MC 🤣 Note; this is said with affectionate sarcasm)

So thank you all for supporting my game. I'm not sure if I should put up commissions/turn on Ko-fi yet since I'm still trying to get back into the writing mindset.

Enjoy! 💜

Happy Philippine Independence Day!

Things to complete:

Write 3 commissions

Write Silverking Chapter 3

Video-edit Destiny 2 for my friend

Also, is it believable to say that I am still having fun doing these more than my practicum?

But man, one of the commissions is a doozy... 🤣

Also, I'm sorry to babble random stuff - feel free to avoid 'author rambles'!

Are you ok? How is your uni practice? I miss you 🐾

I-

I'm a little surprised by this, ngl 😳 I'm doing alright tho, anon - aside from piping into tumblr from time to time? XD And holy shit, things have gotten crazy, huh... 👀There's a few games getting updated or shared XD

As for my uni practicum...

Well, for one, I had some ups and downs with my classes with my students - and teaching online doesn't make things easier to keep the kids invested in the topics I'm teaching. 😓But at least I'm teaching a smaller class than a big one (20-30 students for big class, my small classes have been in the range of 0-5. And no, the 0 isn't a joke; I had a class where zero students were in due to schedule issues, so I had to role-play teaching a class.)

But good news: This Thursday is the last class I gotta teach.

Then 22nd July will be my presentation on Teaching Methodologies for this workshop me and my classmates gotta do for our practicum.

After that...

Just gotta last a little longer...

Ally! Google says it’s 22 in Malaysia already! Good luck with your workshop🤞🍀

(If you aren’t asleep already then go to bed😠 now😡 you need to have rest before the presentation!)

Relax 🤣 I already slept and woke up - I was worried about the side effects of my vaccine kicking in (got injected yesterday with Pfizier), so I slept early.

A bit too early maybe, cuz I woke up earlier than intended ;u; planning to nap in the afternoon after my presentation (which starts in, like, an hour and 15 mins XD)

Thank you, anon, for the luck and good wishes TuT The fact you checked the date is adorable XD

Hey there everyone, I really want to apologize for the long disappearance. (Hides in shame) I can explain as to why I vanish for like an entire month. Please don’t drag me into further more drama as I wish to be left alone and think for myself.

Yes, there is this debacle that has ripped the self ship community that I think is still ongoing and I am getting so fed up with the whole drama one side made (I won’t say who’s to blame for now, but still) against another that made me to almost give up on the community altogether. It nearly broke my heart thinking about it since the last To My S/I Event I participated in.

Then my aunt got tested positive for C19 as the virus didn’t left her body immediately after she first recovered. My mom got paranoid about it that she had us go through a Red Cross saliva test and, out of everyone who did it, I was tested positive and it’s off to be stuck in a mostly vacant house of another of my relatives for 2 weeks for me: trying to get sunlight, taking Vitamin C/Zinc supplements, eating mostly warm food, sleeping early, and being mostly bored out of my mind. I spent most of the time on DWRP and watching YouTube instead since I didn’t want to distress people over my health and I was depressed from being tested positive.

So my cousin’s fiancée arranged a swab test in a test site in Mandaluyong to make that the virus had left me, and after 16 days in isolation, I was in the clear for good. And since I couldn’t shake off the mess, I mostly avoid Tumblr for over a month.

I just don’t know where to go from there, but I am hoping to get back to the swing of things soon. Not immediately but slowly. Here’s hoping that May and the rest of the year will be kinder to me.
