The worst part of writing a Renkaza fanfic while being obsessed with Senjuro is that I want Senjuro to have a bigger part of the story, so now i have to consider if I want to traumatize him even more than he already will be.

Hello! I'll be attempting to participate in this year's AkaRen Week, which is hosted by some lovely people over on twitter (linked below). I already have plans for each day of the week, and I hope more people participate!

And, a fun fact, Day two takes place on my Birthday!

Me, writing Kyojuro's POV: WHICH EYE GOT SMASHED?!

[tobytothemoon]

I have this little drabble that i sent to friend a while back, and she just now told me that she regularly re-reads it. Why is she so fucking kind???

I don't even know why she likes it so much, I could 100% do better if I gave it more than 20 minutes to fix it.

Anyways, it was a short drabble in a modern setting where Kyojuro and Senjuro have an 18 year gap, Kyojuro got custody of Senjuro at 22, and Akaza works at the daycare center. Nothing even happens between RenKaza, but Akaza ends up being the only one able to get Senjuro into the daycare center.

I've gotten a couple comments on my latest chapter of Scene of Wisteria, and I did just want to say that I haven't abandoned the fic, just that writing has been a little hard for me lately due to my own issues with focusing. I'm at a point where I've including so many little things that I have to go through the earlier posted chapters and see what all i've made canon to try and not contradict myself.

SoW isn't going anywhere, I love it a little too much, I've just got a huge procrastination issue 😅

If you're seeing this and have questions about anything I've written, feel free to send an ask or even just comment.

(Don't start posting a fanfic until you're sure you can follow through lmao)

I'm tempted to do an "Original vs Rewrite", where i share what I originally wrote for Scene of Wisteria, and then what i have for the posted version.

I really love talking about my story, especially differences between what I thought i'd write verses what I did.

if you have any scenes from The Scene Of Wisteria you like and you want to see what was originally written, I'm all ears!

Progress with the Original vs Rewritten version of Scene of Wisteria

SoW updates

I'm so sorry on the radio silence lately! I've been going through some rough writer's block recently, except for the fact that I can think of ideas but not write them that well.

I'm currently working on the next four chapters of Sow, which will continue to go in the akaza-kyojuro-akaza-kyojuro pattern that i've established.

If this changes, i'll make sure to update again!

Also, I moved into a new place, one friend moved back, and then my other friend moved FIVE FUCKING HOURS AWAY. I'm also back to full 10+ hour work days for 3-5 days a week, and i'm still broke. It's ROUGH right now.

I also wanted to update you all on Keifuji’s name, because I figured out what the FUCK it was supposed to be. “Kei” comes from the first character of Keshiki (景色), and it means scenery. If you isolate the first character in google translate, it becomes Kei (景), which simply means view. Fuji is wisteria, something which I already knew for sure.

This means Keifuji’s name is (extremely roughly) “Wisteria View”, hence, “The Scene of Wisteria”.
