Hi! I hope you are doing alright. I'm just passing by here because I recently got back into content involving Kirito and Eugeo, and I felt a sense of deja-vu in rereading the first chapters of Starship Centoria... turns out it's because I read it back in 2019 ("Last visited: 14 July 2019 (Update available.) Visited 14 times" on page 67 of my ao3 history) and I found it to be a fantastic coincidence that I found it again the day after it was completed! Thank you for the hard work these six years!

Oh, I'm so touched! I apologize that I'm not super active anymore. I am doing okay, just removed myself from tumblr a bit because just being here seemed to be causing people to get bullied by someone or several someones claiming that I was telling people horrible things. I couldn't deal with that, so I stuck to just writing on AO3.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my fic. I was admittedly wondering if anyone liked that fic beyond it getting into the more serious plot, and I'm glad to know it was enjoyed!

Hey, do you still have that discord link for Eugeo?

If you mean the Eugeo-specific Discord, it appears like that server was deleted or something, as I cannot find it in my server list anymore...

The only link I have for an SAO server is my own, which is just a handful of people sharing artwork and such at the moment.

I apologize if you were looking for the Eugeo server...I guess the owner gave up T-T

[phoenixyfriend]

Reblog if you write fanfic and would be totally down with your followers coming into you askbox and talking to you about your fic

[e-rated-beardo]

YES PLEASE OH MY GOD

Asuna wants nothing more than for herself and her husband to live their lives happily as trans people, no matter what obstacles sit in their way. As they approach parenthood, one such obstacle lies before them. She feels strongly about upholding the traditions passed down through the generations. But one tradition related to becoming parents is particularly tricky to navigate: especially for Kazuto.

Misumi isn't saying she wants to look like the mushy-gushy couples around them. But she is saying she'd like a little more attention when they aren't alone. The only thing stopping her from asking? She knows her girlfriend's a little...old-fashioned. She doesn't think she'll try any of that PDA stuff.

I apologize for how little I've been on tumblr in the latter half of 2023. I know there's a lot of people on here who used to look up to me as a fan and some who still do. I'm sorry for being disappointing.

This year started out really good. I thought most of my absence would be because I'm doing really well in school, and I'm so so close to the final step to becoming a doctor in my field. In fact, my goal for 2024 is to start my dissertation, and that's a huge step and grand accomplishment that has taken hours of dedication, and I appreciate my readers' patience as I write during this time.

I passed (unofficially, just have to do some cleanup) my final doctoral qualifier. I finished up two fanfictions after trying so hard to get back into my pace after my accidents in 2021. I got engaged to the love of my life, and I reached spiritual and emotional peace over a 14-year-long trauma that I've been fighting. These were such good things that happened this year, and I'm ready to receive what goodness lies in 2024.

October sent me into a spiral I am just struggling to recover from. Not only is my family in a war zone, but that war zone is one of the most controversial ones in the world right now. And I have spent hours, days, weeks wailing over this genocide. I cannot help the people I love in either Palestine or Israel, who are caught in these crosshairs. And I drag myself to my university, where people scream and tell me that all Jewish people should leave or be accountable for these crimes. It was everything in me to make it to break. I rarely want to go home to my parents for extended time, but I practically fled my campus, and I broke down in tears in my mother's arms. I weep both for the injustice and for the guilt my own community forces on me, as if I am responsible for the sins of Israel.

I cannot promise a lot of activity from me in 2024. As long as Israel behaves this way, I will most likely remain distant from tumblr. Please don't take it personally. The flood of activism isn't wrong; I am just very weak from those voices which are loudly being antisemitic instead of critical of specifically Israel's government. Those voices are so loud I could some days barely get out of bed.

In 2024, I do ask people to be kind. Being kind will not fix everything. But it is one of the greatest things an individual can do during hard times. Kindness is treasured so much right now, especially as I am at such a low from the antisemitism around me. Give a compliment. Do a nice thing for someone. Sit in silence with someone who is too hurt to speak. And, most crucially, love those who struggle to love themselves.

Happy New Year, Shana Tovah
