Heyo, peeps!! I am officially restarting IHP. (Details on the Archive Vers. of IHP) A few questions for IHP readers tho (about what you think about what I'm planning on doing in the new IHP):::
          	
          	Do you remember why I wanted the bonding age to be 18? (or why I initially made it 16 - either perspective is appreciated. Or if you have your own opinions, feel free to share those! Because I am once again wrestling with bonding ages....)
          	
          	What do you think of me fixing my original OBA system? So omegas will be submissive like normal OBA AUs. Technically, a normal OBA AU would mean no more Abnormal Heats, Izuku acting alpha-like, Shouto acting "omega"-like, etc. Aaand I just realized Dr. Theseus literally specializes in that, and that's why... (grumbles to self) Well, I'll figure it out, I guess.
          	Anyway, I'm thinking of maybe keeping things like a scale, just with omega being the submissive end and beta being the middle of the scale, or maybe making alphas and omegas potentially reversed instead of alpha--beta--omega, but what do you guys think?
          	If scale or omegas and alphas being two sides of the same coin (I feel like I am not explaining this well....), what about abnormal heats? Keep or no? Some highlights of abnormal heats: Izuku and Shouto losing their minds, Shouto learning-- ... that was the whole reason Shouto finally learned how to submit to his Master.... Frig. Okay, between that and the fake "Abnormal Heats" protest, I'm sold; keep Abnormal Heats. SOO, scale between alpha-beta-omega or alpha-omega?
          	
          	Finally, check out this link and tell me what you think of the new timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VvJtAB2elhs0-X8dDcCg4-RGH4c9-9CXQFDYJIuGGRQ/edit?usp=sharing

If you're too lazy to click on the link, a few of the big changes include the following: We'll be starting at the end of the students' 2nd year (assuming the bonding age is changed to 17). I'm adding a few encounters w/ the villains. The slave festival occurs in between 2nd and 3rd year, and the costume round is unrelated to Halloween.
          	  Btw, the original timeline is available for reference in the History of that doc or in the "Stuff for My Records" Folder (the TtR doc in there).
          	  
          	  Anything else you want to say before I dive into rewriting IHP?

Me: I've always dreamed about marriage, raising kids, etc..... There's no way I could live without someone special like that, that I feel fully comfortable around. I need someone to snuggle with, etc..
          Also me: (cannot frigging handle digital communication) ... How am I supposed to go from where I am to marriage.... Seriously. (Deflates into a pile of mush on the floor) Maybe I'm not ready for dating after all.... Maybe God's trying to tell me to just live a life of abstinence instead....
          
          (Gets burnt out by messaging back and forth with people I might be interested in) Okay, definitely limit myself to one dating app at a time. And I have got to regulate how much time I spend on this stuff. One message per day for each person - yeah, that sounds good.
          The next week: (period depression and irritability keeps me from messaging as soon as I've recovered)
          The week after: (being crushed by guilt for not responding)
          [Not to mention the check-in messages...]
          
          Someone help me ;w; Dig me out from this guilt mountain....

Me trying to navigate disagreement is like a newly blind person bumping into **LITERALLY EVERYTHING.** "Oh, sorry" (proceeds to bump into someone else) ... (and then proceeds to bump into that person repeatedly)

Okay, I think it's time for bed.... Maybe I'll feel better in the morning after I get some sleep.
            
            ... Frig, I have work in two days; I need to make sure I get good sleep. A'ight, no more computer for me; time for bed.

My parents when I say I'm journaling: What are you journaling about? What I just said?
          Me: ;w; I'm just journaling what I do (because I'm so forgetful)....
          My mom: Is it bad? (As in, "are you writing how horrible your life is?")
          My dad: It's not good to be too rigid in your routine (because people can figure it out and target you).
          Me: ;w; This is why I didn't want to tell you what I was doing....

Me explaining why I went to bed so late to my psychiatrist: I got distracted.
            My mom: Yeah, that's her new thing, getting distracted.
            me (inwardly): (whips around to my mother) B*tch, whatchu talkin' 'bout? I have ADHD; this is not *NEW*. (mutters) It just hasn't been this bad so consistently before....

          It was fun to watch! It also gives the actual vote counts for the top 10 or so.

Super Appreciation Post: Ch 42 (If you're mentioned here, read the paragraph addressed to you, and then, I'd really appreciate if you could check your emails – details below in the bottom half / the last comment of my thread here.)
          
          [In case you have no idea wtf I'm talking about... I realized my email has records of comments made on my story. Not my comments, but everyone else's. If it was made on a paragraph, it also includes that paragraph, word for word. So, I can base Ch 42 on the comments you made. ☺️☺️☺️]
          
          (And btw, more appreciation is coming  I will be thanking every last one of you who commented a lot on my story.)

... ＿|￣|○ The comments from Ch 43... None of them quote the missing section.... And 41 has nothing but A/Ns....
          I got valuable stuff for Ch 42 though – including the title.
          Not to mention all my precious comments...  It's so encouraging to read all of these over again.... I had started to doubt that I had a lot of repeat commenters, but these emails are proof that I did.... I will count them later lol.
          For now... I think I'll do an appreciation post for the commenters on these chapters.

Whew! It took a long time, but the first chapter of MSiMS?!! is FINALLY posted!!
          As I said below on my MB, I'm actually on Chapter... whoa, what, 8?!! Okay, we are farther than I thought. I recently started Chapter 8, but I'm revising the chapters before I post them because my vocabulary has been inaccessible, so they're currently ridden with "/etc." and comments saying "Idfk". Not to mention lots of repeat words that don't need to be repeated.
          I also have an extra chapter written, btw, but that's in a similar state. I probably won't address that one until I'm finished posting what I've got for MSiMS and M?MLBS, so. But that's just like an origin chapter about Deku's first day at his slave school. Lots of trauma; not for the light-hearted.
