//First off I am a fail mun for not having been online yesterday!!! I was out for most of the day and just fell asleep pretty soon after getting back...whoops. (If it makes it any better I DID wear a Squall shirt all day???)

I am actually off until Thursday this week, but only because I have a huge art project for a contest to do and I had the vacation time that was likely gonna go unused so I figured -- perfect reason for a stay-cation!

But since I’m going to be working on the project (a pet portrait btw!) I won’t be online much...

BUT ONTO GOOD NEWS!!!

I already discussed this with my manager: as soon as Halloween is over (I’d already promised her I’d do it one last time) I will be cutting down to part time!

I figured now is the best time since I have money saved up from the 3 months of unemployment I got with the pandemic. Now I’m making the switch so I can start to do art full-time instead of retail so I won’t always be online but I will be on a LOT more than before. Promise.

I told my manager anywhere between 2-3 days a week, which likely means it will be 3 haha. But that still means 4 days off a week instead of 2!

My main goal is that November will just be playing around with art again and see where my skills are after all these years of not having the energy to do more than sketches, lol. 

December will consist of finishing pieces that will become prints and with luck, I can officially open my Etsy for the new year!

So starting in November, expect me to online more and also expect some art live streams as well!!!

I will also attempt Inktober this year, even though I’ll still be full time at work...I splurged on the Inktober box from Art Snacks so I figure I might as well try, even if it will likely fail. I’m planning on making it Dragon Knights themed, in honor of that being my very first fandom!

Also will be working on cleaning my room up over the next few months and actually try and organize everything. (Just waiting till it’s cooler outside so I can move things to and from the shed without drowning myself in sweat haha)

Anyways I am sorta online for the next few days??? But in a few months I’ll be back in action!//

[xthelionsdenx]

//I am just...completely exhausted.

Literally every single week since we opened again both me and my sister have had a ton of overtime.

I mean, yay money! But also...no free time anymore.

This week so far was the worst. Today was supposed to be one of my days off but I pulled another half shift.

I mean it does mean good paychecks and I feel bad when they need the help but if we’re so damn shorthanded hire new people! But I don’t think people are applying which sucks. 

It also sucks being the main full timers as well as some of the best workers. It means they turn to us every time they need help. 

Today we had the CEO come in to look around which is why they wanted me in. We cleaned and super organized basically the whole store. The CEO? All he did was chat with my manager. And then he walked out. It was all for nothing!

So yeah, I really want to get on more but even my days off may not actually be days off???//

[xthelionsdenx]

//I FINALLY HAVE PHOTOSHOP AGAIN!!!!

It took forever to get my CS5 on my laptop. I mean I lost the discs years ago and also lost access to the email associated with it, lol. But I finally was able to connect with someone on chat who was able to get me the downloads super quick!

I mainly missed PS’s ability to work with GIFs, I have yet to find another program that can edit them right. There are many other programs that I can paint in well enough but now I can start making edits and promos again for my blogs!

I mean I’ll still be drawing, I recently treated myself to a used Wacom Cintiq so yeah, I’ll be having tons of fun!

I may do a livestream in a bit too, gotta see if I can set it up right first XD//

[xthelionsdenx]

//Btw, reason for me being absent...again...

I’m now back to work. Like full on back to work. As in first week back was like a 40 hour plus work week lmao.

So yeah I won’t be around as much. I’ll try to get on on my days off (like today!) but can’t guarantee much.

My plans for my other muses, now that I had remembered that session box exists, is to keep them as is but log into all them within one Chrome window to keep things easier on me.

But yeah, who knows when or how much I’ll be active. Especially since I’m just not used to working anymore. After nearly three months of laziness it’s downright brutal being on my feet for 8 hours a day again!

But yeah, I am alive! I promise!!!//

🍊 - What are your favourite genres of threads? Fluff? Angst? Etc

I very much love fluff and crack and stuff like that...it’s a great way to unwind but...

Anyone who knows me, knows that angst is my jam! No matter what I’m doing with my characters, whether it be RP here or vocal RP or just writing fanfic...there will be angst eventually in some shape or form!

And Laguna is actually the biggest culprit for it, lmao. Though Squall definitely has his share of angst as well.

(Squall is actually my muse that does the most crack which is...slightly ooc but who cares XD)

Let's try this: reblog if you would be interested in participating or receiving a Final Fantasy 7 Remake zine.

Specify in tags if participate or receive

zukawulfy replied to your post: //Anyone have any idea why xkit is being buggy...

are the extensions all up to date? if not, that could be the problem

You’d think uninstalling and reinstalling would also ensure that everything is updated though, right? I’ll check later but that still doesn’t explain why it works fine on one blog and not the other...they’re under the same xcloud account.

elexricainxania replied to your post: //Anyone have any idea why xkit is being buggy...

Try uninstalling and reinstalling; I wasn’t able to reblog and crop replies like normal. Similarly, HTMLS have been a bit on the fritz. It seemed to help out for my blogs. <3

Tried to uninstall/reinstall already. Maybe it just hates me?

[xthelionsdenx]

//Anyone have any idea why xkit is being buggy again?

Everything is working fine over here on Squall but half the features aren’t showing up on my other blogs even though I have it all synced with the cloud.

Like I tried to download the post archiver extension but can only use it on here. The header options aren’t working, the tracked tags aren’t showing...it’s like xkit lite, lmao.

Why is it only working on one blog? It’s driving me nuts.//

1stclasszackfair replied to your post: //Eh…got a couple of questions. Most multi-muse...

((I don’t think one is better over the other. It’s up to personal preference. Personally, I prefer the one blog but if you think the hub blog idea would be better for you. Go for it!))

I just think that with so many muses, especially with various fandoms, that having it all on one page will be messy? But I don’t know...

Cause I feel that if, for example’s sake, a Marvel blog followed me and saw that the majority of my muses and posts are Final Fantasy that may turn them off?

I just don’t want to make it harder for people to find the individual muses. I will make a pinned post at the top of the hub page (if I go that route) which will list all the muses so it’s easy to find. So maybe it’ll work?

Also I will be posting and reblogging various promos for the individual muses and if those get reblogged and stuff people can find the individual muses through those as well...hopefully.

[xthelionsdenx]

//Eh...got a couple of questions.

Most multi-muse blogs I’ve seen just have literally all the muses on one blog, so you have multiple RPs from multiple fandoms going on at once.

I was thinking of having one main ‘hub’ blog, where I post ooc stuff and promos and stuff like that and have every muse as a side blog off it. So that way they can have full blogs, as in customized pages and url’s and all that.

I know I won’t be able to send asks as any of them, only as the hub blog, and I can’t follow others with the individual blogs.

I like that it would keep the blogs separate and organized and will allow me to have fun customizing them, lol.

BUT, will people be okay with having to look at the hub blog when I follow them and then combing through the muses to see who to follow???

It’s like, having it all in one blog will be easier on others it seems but will get chaotic (I have like close to a dozen guaranteed muses with more likely eventually, and from multiple fandoms). Whereas separate blogs will be more organized but means people have to navigate from the hub blog?

Which is better???

One blog mashed together or separate side blogs?//

I tried to do a little GIF with the process, I don´t always use the same but this one is more or less easy.

Headcanon + the supernatural

SEND IN HEADCANON + A WORD / PHRASE FOR A RELEVANT HEADCANON ABOUT MY MUSE. (ALWAYS OPEN) 

Squall certainly is aware that the supernatural exists, hell he saw his mother’s ghost once, but it’s not something he really thinks about either. Ghosts, spirits...whatever you want to call them, they’re just there.

The idea of after you die just being stuck to wander the earth endlessly, is something he’s not surprised at. If anything he feels like it’s an ending he deserves. 

He’s also not scared of the supernatural at all. Like I said earlier, to him they’re just there. They exist, there’s nothing he can do about it so he just doesn’t care. 

(He feels like Raine’s ghost especially, was just more of what he deserved for, in his mind, killing her. She haunts him, but he a hundred percent thinks it’s what he deserves.)

@sunny-explosions​ continued from here

Not only was Selphie pretty surprised that Squall had somehow managed to find her in the Quad in the middle of the night, but he had stopped to hear her out and even offered a bit of comfort to help her feel better. It was kind of unlike him, and for a moment she thought she may be dreaming; but she was not, and while there really was little Squall could do to help free her from the torments of her own mind, at least he was trying.

“You’re not bad at all,” she replies, shaking her head and leaning over to nudge his arm with her shoulder. “I appreciate it, Squall. Thank you.”

She straightens herself and turns her gaze back out to the view of Balamb’s fields, illuminated by moonlight and Garden’s soft glow. It’s probably much later than she thinks it is, but she still doesn’t feel like sleeping for the moment, and even though she loves the Quad, a change of scenery seems in order.

“You don’t have to stay up with me if you don’t feel like it. But I was gonna go on a short walk outside and maybe take out some Bite Bugs to try to clear my mind. You wanna join?”

Walking up next to Selphie, he leaned his arms against the railing, his chin falling to rest on top as he gazed out. He could almost feel her surprise at seeing him, everyone seemed surprised whenever he actually expressed emotion. But it was something he was working on. Between Rinoa and dealing with Laguna...the two of them seemed hard set at getting him to open up and to learn to trust people and as much as he tried to deny it, it was working.

He broke out from his thoughts at the soft nudge, glancing over at Selphie as a soft smile formed before he gave her a nudge back, leaving his arm pressed against hers. For a few minutes there was a peaceful silence and he closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air, relishing the warmth and comfort against him. Perhaps there was something to letting people in...he could get used to this.

Selphie’s voice broke the moment and he moved away, bringing his arms back into a languid stretch. 

“Not sure if they’ll pose much of a challenge but it’s not like I was planning on sleeping anytime soon anyway.”
