You may have noticed that I vanished into thin air for about three months. I’m sorry about that. It wasn’t intentional. It just kind of happened.
Why did I poof? For a lot of reasons. The biggest one is that my life has been hectic for the last year and, somewhere around July I just couldn’t juggle all the balls I needed to keep in the air. I felt crushed beneath an ever-growing pressure to keep up with way too many things. Something had to give. Somewhere, somehow the burden had to be lessened.
Tumblr ended up being one of the things I had to set aside. Not forever, just for awhile.
Why Tumblr? To be honest, I’ve never been entirely happy with the kind of content I share here. It took me a long time to get a sense for Tumblr and the kind of content people are interested in ingesting here. And while I do feel like I have a pretty decent grasp on that now, I’ve never felt like I quite managed to provide the right kind of quality or depth of content.
It’s always been my intention to change my Tumblr feed to suit that vision of what I feel is good content for this site. But for a long time I felt like I just needed to keep posting - that speed, that any content at all was better than quality content.
I thought, perhaps, if I walked away for a little while, it would be easier to come back and do something new.
I never meant for the hiatus to last as long as it has. I would like to say it’s over now, but I’m not entirely sure how long it will take me to start posting the kind of stuff I really want to post on a regular basis.
What does the future look like? In terms of how things are going for me, personally, outside the interwebs - my husband and I finally found a house. It took us a year and it was a long, grueling, frustrating process, so we’re really quite happy to be at the end of it. BUT that also means that November is going to be a high-stress month full of painting, renovations and moving. So while things are going well, and I do feel like I have my writing and publishing work back on track (it teetered for quite awhile), we’re not quite in the clear as far as extra and stressful things we need to tackle.
But I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I’d like to do for this blog moving forward. I’m thinking I’d like to do themes every month and make everything I post relate to them. Obviously, I’d like them to be writing / creative related, since that’s always been what this blog was supposed to be about.
I would really love to feature some Inktober stuff next month, if I get the chance. (This will all depend on how things on the moving front are shaping up.) I’ve also got a re-release of Eternity’s Empire coming up, so it’d be awesome to talk a bit about that while it’s happening.
November is, of course, NaNoWriMo, so I’d like to have a lot of novel planning and writing info on the blog for the month for anyone who is participating and looking for information or tips. Not sure how that will shape up with us moving (and me trying to participate o_o;) but I’ll give it a shot!
After that I might like to focus a month on planning. A month on maps. A month on first drafts. Stuff like that. That way I’ll really feel like I’m posting useful things the bulk of the time instead of filling up with memes just to keep the blog running.
For anyone who may have been worried when I vanished, I apologize. As I said, it was never my intention to vanish without a word, things just sort of happened that way. I hope I’ll be back soon, and I’m looking forward to re-connecting with all of you <3
AYO I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT THERE MAKING BBC!SHERLOCK CONTENT!!! I was like “welp the shows over the fandoms dead byeeee” BUT ITS NOT
Haha no it’s definitely still alive
IT IS!!!
Oh we’re still at it
Short version: not dead.
I love curating the amazing content that y'all still have to offer! <3
Bring me to life.
The fandom never dies
Aw shucks, went to screencap this post because it was at exactly 221 notes — how lucky! — and while I was fiddling around with keyboard, someone else upped it to 222 notes. Well, good, keep passing this one around.
The perfect shot from the show to go with the still. Not. Dead. fandom.
#everything is still about BBC Sherlock after all these years
Ehe, hey. . Might be back around here I guess cause I just need somewhere to be that ain’t Twitter or Insta. . Not as if I hadn’t been posting random sh*t already before dipping, but this is you’re cue to jump ship now if you don’t wanna be around for a potential mess. . Not gonna sugar coat it. . I’m not really alright mentally (who really is anymore?? I’m not special lmao), haven’t been for a while now, but I just want to go back to having a place with the cute/comfort stuff I used to enjoy. . Imma try my best to not be a downer, but that may or may not slip through the cracks every once in a while, real sorry in advance (╯︵╰,)… Gonna keep my header and pfp probably (mostly cause I don’t know what to change it to and cause those mfs bring me comfort ig??), but just fyi I’m not doing AoEx fandom stuff anymore, also sorry for that too >_>
All that being said, pause the pity party, Cap! ( ；∀；)
The last couple of years have been pretty f*cking hard for all of us (no doy!), If any of y'all wanna talk, my dms are always open. . Was never clear about that before, but if anyone needs a listener. . I am here for you, zero judgement; just here for you, promise. (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ
[[ If you got this far, thank you for even reading this, seriously <3. . This isn’t some, “pls pay attention to me awoo!” post, in fact I don’t expect much from this period. . Just kinda wanted to give an update, this blog ain’t dead, I’ve just been hiding ig lol ]]
Thank you sincerely for reading or even following me!! ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
What started out as one simple sketch to commemorate a decade of BBC Sherlock turned into a ‘no-impulse-control’ series of sketches capturing certain intimate and memorable moments from A Study in Pink (which I may have watched 4 times while drawing these.)
If only I had the time, I would draw every single frame of this episode with its two men and their chemistry igniting to epic proportions, but alas!
I have only been into this fandom since a year, but my heart goes out to all you veterans who’d been with Sherlock from the inception, during the drought of the Hiatus, to the WTF-inducing end.
Oh shit. Hey yall, I forgot to update you on that last exam. I got an 85%!!! Which means I got a B in the class!! Additionally: I should have all A’s (including calc 2) with the exception of chem 2 and physics 1. (They are weed-outs and tbh just glad I didn’t bare minimum pass both) I moved out of my dorm. I officially am done with my first year of college. I might have two jobs this summer? I bought two super cute dresses for Hawaii. I am free from my shitty roommate. That concert last night was amazing.
Sidenote: I was like half on stage for most of Sorority Noise’s set because the crowd kinda shoved me up a set of stairs. But me and the photographer next to me became the unofficial keyboard holders when a crowd surfer came towards it. It was so much fun. Also, the venue had a max capacity of 350 and I found out I knew 2 other people there. Cool right?
Hey guys ! I took a big hiatus but I’m still very much alive ! Work and life kept me busy, but I’ll probably get back to post art some times soon, so see ya !
So I haven’t updated in a long time. Mostly because of time constraints but also because there hasn’t been anything I wanted to write.
Regardless.
I am back and hoping to begin updating more regularly again. I may change my page and make it look a little bit better in the future, but overall this is just a quick post to let everyone know that I am not dead since I’ve noticed that I’ve picked up quite a few followers. Welcome!
At the moment, I have uploaded aHawks Fanfic to get me back into the spirit and mood of writing. I am slightly rusty so I kept it short. You can read it here, if you’d like.
On another note. I have recently been playing Genshin Impactand was wondering if anyone would be interested in me adding it to the list of fandoms that I am willing to write for?
Otherwise, I hope everyone is doing well and that the week ahead treats you kindly :)
