hey gang so. last i posted was in 2020, i had big ambitions for the works i had here but, to put it plainly i will likely no longer be touching these works, here nor ao3. 
          	
          	i received a heartwarming  message on my tumblr today (how they found me idk, i have a new acct name than i did before) that reminded me that i started here almost 10 years ago (I'm 22 now lol) and grew a lot since. but it was you all who inspired me to become a writer. 
          	
          	I kept pursuing my craft, I graduated recently and, in the face of this awful election, have been reminded why I do this—in a world where the masses may not care about art, there are people who do, people who need just a little something to get through the day. Whether its to be heard, or to be seen, or even to laugh. I've had people reach out then and now telling me how much my work had an effect on them, and that's what I hope to achieve. 
          	
          	My new ao3 is lamentingmidna, I've already written some things on there but I'm planning more. Outside of that I write short stories and screenplays, and in my writing endeavors I found my girlfriend (I *really* struggled with my identity while I wrote for you all.)
          	
          	I hope you all are taking care of yourselves. Read more, write more, amplify BIPOC and LGBTQ voices. Diversify your palette. Never be afraid to use your voice, even on a silly little word doc that no one sees but you. 
          	
          	Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. 
          	
          	-Artemis

Also I unpublished Limey and the Psychopath. 
          
          A little too many “Killing Stalking” parallels.

@ArtemisSilver478 Ok, I understand. I'm kinda crushed, that was my favorite story. You and Erin Hunter were the people who inspired me to write, and I will miss you and that LATP. :(

The thing about LATP was that it didn’t portray a healthy, nontoxic way to form their relationship. I’ve changed the way I write Melvin/Mariku since then, so it’s difficult to go back and see how I wrote about death, kidnapping, and non-consensual situations so casually. If I do post LATP again, which will be hard since I’m in college now, it will be on Ao3 and will be different.

Hey pals.
          
          So, buckle up, listen for a sec.
          
          Wattpad is hella sus. I know I still have quite a few stories here, but I'm about to relocated to Ao3 offically. This account will still be up for you to read my old stuff, but I'm gonna be taking my new/ongoing ones down and moving them to Ao3. Hence, I will be inactive.
          
          I'm also going to take down Alone, Together and Guilty Pleasure. Since writing them, I've learned a lot more about mental illness and the importance of treatment and medication 
          (and how that doesn't work for everyone), justice, s*xual assault, s*icide, and many more things that I was ignorant to while I wrote these stories. I do plan to rewrite them (on Ao3), now that I'm more informed on the issue. I also plan to get better with trigger warnings as well. 
          
          While I'm here, just know to stay on your guard. Wattpad was hacked at one point and now people are after your info, so DON'T give out your email to people you don't know, and DON'T click on any links. 
          
          Alright, gang. Remember to respect everyone, don't be the toxic fandoms, and register to vote :)

@ArtemisSilver478 Ok. I really love "The Little Mermarik" and "The Limey and the Psychopath". Those are great. I just wanted to make sure those will stay up. ☺️

I bought myself a Nintendo switch bundle, an iPad, an Apple Pencil, and AirPods, all with the money I made this summer. I’ve got a little left over for college spending...
