    PPA Announcement (It’s been a while)

    Okay, so, I had been looking back on Papers Ponies and Attitude… and I’m not gonna lie, to me, it did not age that well. However, I’m still somewhat proud of it. That being said… I want to delete a few chapters. I think one person said it best in the comment section in the last chapter of the second arc: This is a good posit to end. And it was.

    Waking Up

    I jolt awake as I yell in surprise, sweat pouring down my back and neck as I look around wildly.

    “Oh God, how long have I been asleep for!?” I ask myself as I scramble for my phone. I check the month and see it’s April. “ah… okay, a few months, that’s… not too bad-“ I then see the year. “… Damn, no wonder that nap was so good.”

    Isolated Room (short vent story. Trigger warning: depressing)

    The walls surrounding me mock in shadowy jeers. I stare at the ceiling in my arm chair, feeling my face slide down more and more as I grow tired. I’m always tired. My shoulders feel disconnected, my muscles are reluctant to move, the constant crawling of invisible insects haunt my skin. A pit sits in my stomach as the mockery of production continues. The days slipped by since I have last slept

    Short: staying alive

    A silent room is suddenly woken up as a familiar figure walks in. The room is mostly empty, with a desk and chair in one corner. A computer sits on top of the desk, which comes to life from the push a button. With that, the man sits in his chair, and sighs.

    So... it's been a while. Almost ten months. Where have I been? That's a good question.

What’s going on? (Updates) · 2:39am Jan 7th, 2021

just so we’re clear- PPA is not dead, I’m just really not up for it right now. I’ve been disappointed and depressed from a shit ton of outside factors, so writing the next chapter started feeling forced and it felt like the plot I’m doing is too convoluted- despite how simple it actually is.

In detail, I’ve been feeling an extended depression-slump (that’s what I’m calling the monthly slumps) ever since November ended, I’ve thought of six different ways to take PPA (none of which I liked, since it doesn’t go with what I’m already doing). I thought Cyberpunk would snap me out of it when it came out, but the numerous crashes, freezes, bugs and glitches made me slightly more depressed since it basically felt like a repeat of Mass Effect Andromeda. Then I thought family time would snap me out of it and it kinda worked.

Now, obviously I’m not dangerously depressed or anything. I feel sad most of the time, but I’m just as hungry as usual and I talk to a couple of friends a lot so I’m probably fine. As you saw, I still like making blogs here (as random as they seem) and it kinda makes me feel better. But I’ve also gotten something new. Recently, after Christmas, I’ve been thinking of making a YouTube video (just like the other fifty dozen times) of just retelling Ace Combat’s history. I know, not PPA related or a TTISI, but the latter may come one day if I get enough good footage.

In the meantime, while I’m trying to get over this depression-slump, I’m gonna try to do other things to revamp myself (I.e., continuing other stories, making something else, etc.)

I hope all of you are having a good year so far, have a good day.

harness your sadness and funnel it into a story, it helps, try wrighting a super depressing fic where in the end everyone comits suicide. that's what I do

Take whatever time you need to get your head cleared.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a heads up on why we haven’t had a update for a while. I sincerely hope you begin to feel chipper soon. If it’s not clinical depression, do things that make you happy and maybe exercise, that tends to release endorphins which makes you feel better. I like the story a lot, but your health mentally as well as physically is more important.

Everything is ok! We will survive without new chapters of this good story, especially if it means that it will stay a good story!

Hey, if you are in need of a book that always brings s smile upon my face, then look no further than the Dresden Files!

Best of luck to you and yours, fellow man of culture.
