Ok so, some of you may know, others may not, I've been having to stay with my grandmother a lot lately. She's been feeling weak and having an issue doing things like cooking and with a hungry 8-year-old boy and working husband, she needs my help. She actually goes for another chemotherapy session next week on Thursday so I'll be over at her house Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly the rest of that weekend, maybe more (it is all dependent on how she's doing and my grandfather's work schedule. I can't say for sure, but I think I'll be there for a while because I think he's having a hard enough time being off Thursday to take her to chemo). However, there is some good news behind this. After this session she just has one more. So I do want to say thank you all for your patience and kindness, and prayers if you've been doing that through all this. I so, so appreciate it and to those of you that tell me that you hope she's ok and that she'll get better, I tell her that too and I really, truly think your positivity has been helping her a lot. Like she literally smiles anytime I say that kind of stuff to her so thank you bunches for that.
Of course, you all noticed it's been keeping me from replying (again thank you all for your patience and kindness and understanding through all that) but it admittedly isn't the only reason I've been lacking on replies. I've been drained lately and honestly just mentally and emotionally sad (like as I type this I kinda feel like crying). I'm not sure why, I have a theory as to why but I am truly having a hard time believing it is the only reason. And school hasn't been helping, with one teacher specifically that somehow multiplies my stress more than all my teachers combined.
So, the point of saying this is..... I'm thinking of going on a hiatus with roleplaying. Most certainly not permanently, roleplaying is a hobby I've grown to love and I've met amazing friends through it. Though, I do wanna say it's not a typical hiatus, if I get a day where I feel good and motivated, you and can bet I'll be typing away immediately. And I don't want to cut it out fully during this time either cause I wanna stay in touch with you all (who I'll tag at the end) because you're amazing, each and everyone of you. So, if any of you want we can do a more simple rp, one where messages are more or less shorter (even then I can't guarantee a reply everyday because some days are busier and feel worse than others).
Another way I plan to stay in contact with you all is opening up drawing requests. I plan to get my brand new sketchbook (maybe 2 if they're cheap enough) either tomorrow or next week and even then, I do still have clean pages in the books I found (in fact I'll be posting something up tomorrow as part of an OC challenge) and I love drawing mine and your alls OCs and I'm excited to open this up to people who maybe haven't requested anything yet. On top of this, I will be making a book shortly after this chapter is published where you all can comment one shot requests between our OCs too since I've been working on writing and drawing. It'll be titled simply "VIP Requests".
To end this I wanna apologize to you all for this so suddenly, for this being so long, if it seems like I'm trying to get sympathy or pity or if this is annoying by now, or if I'm being annoying myself. I don't intend for any of that. I just want to fill you all in and explain why I haven't been replying and to say that this may go on at least another month. I wanna say sorry again but I love you all so much and thank you for reading. Remember to leave requests here and in the VIP Requests if you want to, you by no means are expected to. If you want, we can also do a shorter rp. One final thing I wanna add, if you all are going through anything at all, whether it be a bad day or something going on in life and you want to get it off your chest (only if you want to, no pressure here, friends) please don't hesitate to pm me about it. Even in this funk of a mood I want to help those who mean most to me and honestly, knowing I'm able to help in some way, makes me feel a little bit better.
(If I tag you it is purely because we've roleplayed recently and I want to continue roleplaying with you but my mood has been stopping me (final apology for that))

My Art Book
RandomI had one of these a long while back but it wasn't really MY art. I was young, dumb, and used bases. Now though, I've improved with my own drawing (only using bases as drawing references on rare occasion) so I wanted to try again since I'm too scare...
