regarding the rangshi american au
hi!! for most of y’all who don’t know, i’m the author of illuminated by moon and fire, a modern american au rangshi series on ao3.
i probably won’t be updating it anymore. i started writing the series as a senior in high school, and in the beginning it was a cute way of interacting w my fav ship + fandom as well as helping me cope with the stress of college apps, but a lot has happened and i’m just not in a good space to write for it anymore lol. at best it’s touched so many people’s hearts, at worst it’s a constant reminder of the worst few months of my life and someone i used to care very much about.
maybe in the future i’ll have recovered enough to get back to it, but at the moment, i’m still so incredibly drained and upset from what’s happened that it doesn’t look possible for me to work on it in the next few weeks (hell y’all might’ve probably noticed i haven’t drawn any kyoshi art in over a month, same reason). i’m sorry, it’s important to me, and i know it’s touched a lot of people, but i’d rather leave it up hanging for an unprecedented amount of time instead of stumbling through the rough outline i have. i know it’s mattered so much to some, and i’m sorry i have to leave it like this.
for other kyoshi content, i want to make some so badly, but everything has kinda been really awful for the past few months and i’m under the impression that i won’t get better until i finally move out and/or get help, so hopefully that’s soon lol.
but i did wanna thank all of y’all for y’all’s support. i’ve only been posting fan content in this fandom for not even a year, but y’all have been the sweetest and your support has been life-changing. i have an album dedicated to messages and comments i’ve received, and on darker days, those are what i look at to remind myself to keep moving. i don’t regret writing the american au (i think), but i just need time.
love y’all very much. i hope the rest of the season treats y’all well 💞
