Howdy, everyone.
Ok, so this kind of occured to me while I am fixing up the fourth chapter of evolution...
A lot of things have happened since this year began.
A lot of it has just been the same general nonsense that everyone else has been handling. A lot of it's been nonsense particular to me. I've spent much of 2020 rambling about said nonsense to people close to me, often (though not always) whilst drunk, and while I don't want to go into much detail about all of it... it's enough to say that I've had a bit more time on my hands than I'm used to since wrapping up 2019.
Sometimes, you have a terrible idea.
I mean, yeah, anybody can have a terrible idea. Just look at this site. Half the time it feels like a prime demonstration of Sturgeon's Law, and half the time it feels like it needs to introduce a corollary to Sturgeon's Law that expresses what percentage of written works will one day be used as character evidence against the author.
To be clear, I've been in the flow of life, and I'm still a season and a half behind. At this point, I'm somewhere between "this show changed my life" and "I'm really annoyed they keep jossing my headcanons".
That's not important.
I'm not usually one to commission artists. Most of my ideas work better in a written context, and even the ones that don't can be incorporated into stories. But sometimes I get moments of inspiration that only work in pictures, and my own artistic skills consist of halfway competent collage skills with preexisting backgrounds and vectors. So, I turned to better talents.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT LAST WEEK WAS? DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHAT LAST FRIDAY WAS? BECAUSE I JUST REMEMBERED RIGHT THIS SECOND AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT.
I'll get right to the point: I got laid off last week and will finish my current job at the end of this month. It kinda put me off of writing. I do apologize for the delays that have been happening lately. This delay, however, was the last, and the finale of "Human After All" will be up this weekend (it's in the editing stages now). While I'm sure that I'll find something soon, things have just been hard lately in general. Still, I apologize in the meantime for the sheer amount of delays
*gasp* I actually have a character design for her? Impossible!
...when this happened:
What kind of fic do you think I'm writing, Gdocs?!
9,000+ words of sombra in a dress
you have been warned
