*Bender Voice* I'M BACK BABY! · 3:11am Dec 18th, 2016
... Probably.
So! What's happened since I last updated Visiting Chaos? (And since my last blog post?)
Um. A lot.
I mean some good things! I started college, (School of the Art Institute of Chicago, whoop whoop!,) I turned nineteen, I got a dog and I got a boyfriend! That's all really cool!
And I also did convince my parents to take me in for diagnoses on mental stuff, and... drumroll please...
I'm autistic. This wasn't at all a shock to me but everyone else seems to be kind of in disbelief, because I'm good at acting NT in public, but whatever. Also got diagnosed w/ OCD, which I was kind of surprised by, but makes sense in hindsight.
I also had another surgery this year, (less major than heart surgery, thank god,) but my health is not good and I've been having a lot of weird symptoms not explained by my diagnosed chronic illnesses, so... that's fun. I've started walking with a cane on bad pain days, which really helps, but people definitely look at a nineteen year old with a cane weirdly and... yeah it's been another weird year and Visiting Chaos has always kind of been in the back of my mind, but I got very little work actually done on it.
Luckily, my boyfriend started watching MLP at my urging, (and I started watching Moral Orel at his, which is really good,) and he immediately latched onto Dis and Pinkie. (What can I say? He has good taste.) He kinda got me back into a Discopie writing mood, so... I'm actually thinking I'll continue Visiting Chaos, which I honestly wasn't sure I would be doing.
Some headcannons have changed in the last two years, in part due to some of my own personal issues, and in part because of the fact that two whole season have passed and so has a lot of character development, (can anyone say Hearthbreakers?) so the story might go in a slightly different direction and I see a few things, especially regarding Pinkie's relationship to her family back on the farm , a lot differently than I did two years ago.
As always, for sticking with me, have a few extras that may or may not have to do with Visiting Chaos, but should be fun to see
One-- My headcannon Screwball voice, for anyone who wants to listen to her the way I write her:
*Screwball voice* Pound, Pumpkin come here... Listen, I'm pushing you because you have talent, babies, and I'm gonna take care of you, oh, you'd better believe it. But first, you have to make some chaos for Screwy. Okay babies?
(Also, something i never got to incorporate it because FOR SOME REASON I DID NOT THINK TO PUT BILL ON THE LIST OF CHAOTIC ENTITIES DEAR LORD I'M AN IDIOT but I think the idea of Bill and Discord knowing each other is hilarious and Screwy's voice really freaks out her "Uncle Bill" because voice actor jokes are really funny to me)
And a (spoilery) preview of something very special that is yet to come...
Omg! A blog post about Visiting Chaos? This is one of the stories I enjoyed so much I reread all the uploaded chapters. I'm very excited to hear that an update will be coming. Glad to have you back!
4345426 Aw, shucks! I'm glad to be back, honestly. I had a lotta mixed feelings about the story, but trading discopie HCs with my boyfriend got me back in the right mindset to my ass back to work. I'll probably be polishing some stuff in old chapters too, because after two years my writing has changed a lot.
But I appreciate it! I was surprised to come back and see so many people asking me to continue it, to be honest!
