After editing my already published chaps to ease my writers block, I got the next chapter out of my PHM fic out. Enjoy

Grace is an experiened crash-out artist. A tasteful crashout, for enrichment.
"I asked chatgpt" okay well I asked Tumblr and- wait, one second- there's some new yaoi lore in the space fandom or something- oh my god is that Markiplier?

Nobody tell him the ship's out of coffee already
My one takeaway as I finish the audiobook is how less emotionally complex rocky + ryland's relationship is. In the movie, you can tell that the mood of one affects the other, that they're truely friends that have survived a lot. In the book, their dynamic is more mutual respect and admiration that eventually leads to a kind of co-working friendship.
I'd like to hear if anyone else has a similar impression from the book, I saw the movie first and was kind of let down by the sanitized nature of their bonding. You can have all the science and nerding, while acknowledging the coping mechanisms and codependency that they'd develop over time. It's not mutually exclusive!!
I understand that Andy Weir was writing a certain type of story for a certain kind of audience, and any editor would try to cut out too much touchy-feely stuff to keep it on-theme, but a girl could dream.
Added a new chapter for pain and suffering purposes, enjoy. https://archiveofourown.org/works/84643641/chapters/223857056
Almost 6k words to get this guy to do the bare minimum of talking about himself after over a year of living in space. Some severe emotional constipation going on
is this anything
Losing my shit

Hello.... ^_^ long time no see
On break from posting on Ao3
Hi pals, I'm taking a break from posting until after my manuscript deadline. You want to be mad about it, take it up with the publishing industry. Be back in May, once book baby is delivered. Look out for emails etc. Go well, all. May your work deadlines be eighty million times less stressful than mine.
Will still be here and still on Patreon. Do continue to send questions about THttHoP, they often make me think about the story differently which can be helpful when wrapping the whole thing up. Or questions about whatever, can't say I have the answers but I'm here to chat. And Tumblr is fun, it brightens my day, why not.
I just need some time. I've been writing THttHOP since 2021. I want to finish it well. I want to finish it joyfully. I want to finish it whilst not tearing my hair out over a book that, quite frankly, does not seem to want to be written. He is being dragged into the world kicking and screaming, clawing his way back into the darkness. Yes, I have decided he is a he. First male book and he brings with him all the rage of his kind. Pray for me.
Ichi the Witch Author Interview in popstyle! - Summary/Translation
So yesterday (Feb 4th in Japan), a newspaper article came out with an interview with Usazaki-sensei and Nishi-sensei about Ichi the Witch!
As far as I'm aware there's no public way to view it, but there's like, a newspaper archive you can pay to access in Japanese... long story short, I was able to find it! Here is some of the interesting stuff (imo) that we got from that interview!
(DISCLAIMER! I am still learning Japanese! A lot of this translation is done by me checking machine tl's and cross referencing them with dictionaries! Please understand there may be errors, that the information presented here is best as I understand it and may be incorrect, misinterpreted, or updated later if I find it to be wrong! Thank you for patience with me!!)

Ichi now has over 1.5 million copies in circulation! (Including digitals)
Volume 7 (jp) will come out on March 4th
[From Nishi] The series idea came from Nishi wondering why there were magic women [witches] (majo, the word for witch in japanese is the character for magic and woman), but no magic men. (Statement also made in the author comments in volume 1)
[From Nishi] Originally, the idea had been about a boy who wanted to become a witch, and a knight who protects witches. However, Nishi thought a world with Living Magic would be more interesting. She also thought it would be more interesting if Ichi was "Outstanding", so she decided to make him only interested in hunting.
[From Nishi] "Ichi doesn't have anything. He doesn't have any dreams, he doesn't have anything he wants to do. He's just living day by day[...]"
On account of the last point, Nishi gave him the Death for Death code. She wanted it to be easy to understand (repeatedly a point of emphasis Nishi makes in interviews), and based it off the Code of Hammurabi (eye for an eye). Regarding death for death, Nishi says "But I don't know if that way of thinking is right. It's a very dangerous way of thinking. I'm looking forward to seeing how (that mindset) grows and changes."
Nishi does the panel layout (storyboards, wiki article here) for the series, and Usazaki says Nishi conveys the composition well. Like Nishi's, Usazaki prioritizes readability as well as ensuring fans can see the faces of the characters they like clearly and appealingly. She wants the series to look beautiful and works really hard to make it that way even though the series is weekly! It's tiring, but she enjoys drawing (THANK YOU USAZAKI SENSEI WE LOVE YOU USAZAKI SENSEI!!!!)
Nishi designs the majiks by thinking of an attribute (fire/water/etc), or things that make good attacks. Then, using that kanji as a basis, she builds the Majik around what's most interesting or useful (story wise, i think.) to create an animal or such. She wants to make it simple to understand for even children.
[More under the cut i just don't wanna decimate ur dash. do you love the colour of the ichi interview]
