It's so good to see you, I hope you're doing well! <3
I enjoy TADC a lot but right now that fandom is so toxic I am scarred to touch it with a 10 foot pole. I know a couple of artists from another fandom that dipped their toes into it and immediately had drama and harassment on their doorstep. If you made a side account for TADC stuff I'd love to see it, I'm just scared to deal with the drama. ^^;
Yeahhhh, I'll probably end up doing a side blog and dabbling with it so this one stays drama-free. 😅 I've heard bits and pieces but haven't looked at the fandom directly, so now I'm a little nervous haha. I just wanna write up dark psychological comedy, and there's soooo much left unexplored!
Either that, or I'll finally write up Edge's date because I figured out that's gonna be a rage room.
Excuse me while I randomly pop back up because inspiration is hitting hard.
I wanna get back into writing, and I just realized I got a ton of good asks about the skelebros, which I absolutely plan on getting to as well, buuuuut...
Hear me out.
Are you guys The Amazing Digital Circus fans?? That's my current obsession, so I figured there's gotta be an overlap, right? I'm dying to write about it, so if you have thoughts, imagines, hc's, etc, please send them my way. I'm up for writing about the main cast or even reader-insert stuff. I've seen the theatrical release, but don't worry -- I won't do anything with ep 9 spoilers until a few days after it releases on youtube (and I'll put spoiler warnings everywhere when that time comes), but you can still send those to me. If enough people send them in, I may do a sideblog dedicated to it or just answer all of them here and do a mix of that and UT/DR? Or hell, if you guys want some cross-over imagines, throw that at me, too! The skelebros ending up in the Circus would be interesting as hell. Red is giving Jax vibes.
I'm out of town right now, so I'm typing this on my phone from the road, but damn, I've got the writing itch for the first time in years, and I'm excited about it. I'm off work tomorrow, so I plan on spending the day writing!
Holy crap, how has it been that long? I'm still laughing over the comments on my last post.
It feels like everyone's life has changed. I, for one, decided to follow in the Landlady's footsteps and take my own advice. I didn't go find a random lodge full of sexy skeles, but I did pack a suitcase, quit my job, and start driving.
I'll throw some musings and SSLL parallels under the cut so I don't clog your dash.
It's no secret that SSLL is self-indulgent. The ex, the family, and the crappy job were all watered-down versions of stressors in my life. Most of you know what happened with my sister when I stopped writing as much, and then the pandemic hit and I was a front-line worker, and it felt like the words just... left me. And then I remember thinking about how much I wanted things to change, but they never would unless I changed them.
When I hit my breaking point, I became a "crisis" worker with an agency and jumped from hospital to hospital, filling in wherever needed help. I spent a couple of years staying in airbnbs and traveling the country, meeting new people, seeing the sights. One year, I think I stayed in 12 or 13 different states. I even lived in Las Vegas for 6 months, and that was the most amazing time of my life. The stress melted away as I traveled, and old friends that I spoke to on the phone began to comment on how even my voice sounded different. Lighter. More carefree. The panic attacks and nightmares stopped, and so did the nigh-constant migraines.
I let go of all of my toxic relationships, and I learned to speak up for myself. When someone started acting crazy, instead of trying to placate them, I would tell them to leave immediately. I stopped being a caretaker. Guilt trips that used to have me crying and apologizing for some imagined slight got shut down.
I tried casual dating and holy shit do I have stories. Wtf is wrong with people?? If you guys wanna hear some funny/terrible tidbits, lemme know because I quickly realized it wasn't for me. My partner now is deaf, and I think of beware the man who speaks in hands every time I sign.
I took a break from healthcare a couple of years ago to work freelance as a writer for MeChat, and if you guys have ever played it... I have a few characters I've written for on there. If you guys wanna hear about that process, I can do a separate post, but I wasn't happy with how tied my hands were. They kept telling me I was too focused on the lore and the story and that the plot didn't matter because it was just a "vehicle for romance" and that I was putting too much effort into world-building and connecting characters.
Then, I decided to quit traveling and settle down in Boston full-time. I just bought a house in the city a couple of months ago and finally got a computer set-up a couple of weeks ago.
Annnnd that's about the gist of it! Nearly every aspect of my life changed, and Deltarune 3&4 came out at a great time to renew my spark in writing and the community. I'm just so glad to have heard from so many of you already, and I hope that I'll be sticking around more now. <3
OH, and did anyone else love the tortoise/turtle representation with Gerson in chapter 4? ;P
It's probably not surprising that Deltarune 3 & 4 have my obsession with the fandom back in full-force, and I'm hoping it's got some of you back into the community, too! I mean... how did I let literal years slip by without being active around here?
So much has happened. My life is completely different now, and I can only hope that all of the amazing people I met on here are doing well and navigating this really fucking weird, horrible timeline that we seem to be living in.
I binge-read SSLL over the last week so I can remember what exactly was going on, and several things stood out to me.
I need to go through and take all of the “y/n” portions out of the earlier chapters because man, that’s such an immersion break.
You guys are really kind to not point out how many typos I missed.
Is SSLL kind of a musical? There’s so much singing and dancing. It seems so spread out over the years I worked on it, but reading it all at once had me side-eyeing myself.
I should’ve included more links to the Q chapters because there’s a lot of context to miss if you’re only reading SSLL.
Crooks asking about the confidence of your butthole is still one of my favorite lines.
But Stretch pretending to be Papyrus is still so much funnier.
How did I write 50 chapters and more than half of the skeletons still haven't been kissed?
All of that to say that I wanna get back into writing, but I also want you guys to throw out imagine ideas like the good ol' days so I can warm up with those.
AND I also want to hear your Deltarune theories because I have so many of them, and I want an excuse to discuss them!
It's been ages and a wild ride since I've last been on here, but I'm back to lurking around here. I chose today of all days to try to log in to Ao3, and it's been down. D; So I spent my time trying to get inspiration by looking through old imagines/fanart.
I hope you've been doing good! Excuse me while I go look through all of your art that I've missed! <33
If only work would slow down, then I could actually watch it.
I bought all of the new Fangamer merch during intermission (except the Fight/Mercy pins because they were sold out).
I looked at the Dating Start hoodie, and thought, "Man, that's busy." Clicked on it. "And loud." Added it to my cart. "I don't even wear hoodies anymore." Clicked check out. "It's too expensive." Confirmed my order.
Is sending suuuper late fanart is okay? Couse I am ashamed of myself, but i find Skeleton Squatter and Landlady last weekend and i fell for it and i have to try draw it, but i am ashame...
I’m so happy that you found SSLL and are enjoying it!! =D
I’ll always accept fanart from any chapter involving SSLL. Thank you so much for even wanting to draw something from it! <3
Oh hey I was curious, would it be alright with you if I DID try drawing your fanfiction? I keep thinking about it but I thought i should ask first before I try actually doing it
Absolutely! If the mood strikes ya, I’d love that. x] But yeah, everyone always has my total permission to use SSLL in any way, be it fanfics, fanfiction, or whatever else.
