also please dont take this as me saying im the best writer ever and i know exactly how to write to comfort people thats not it, im afraid i might come off that way. its just that i believe i do know how to write heavy topic matter like this, i have a team that helps me with stuff and they'd all agree that tsast is a great story that handles everything really good. not trying to sound like i have an ego i dont anymore, im way past that, but i do want to clarify that there are people who know everything about tsast and think everything about it is very good, so its not just my say

time frame will span from 2034 to probably 2037, with some flashbacks of previous years sprinkled in here and there
          	  
          	  depressing absolutely worse than old outlawed, but its handled in a much better way. its not sad for the sake of being dark like old outlawed was. tsast is way heavier in its subject matter because i want to use my story telling abilities to send a message about certain things, mostly revolving around mentality. i think the best way to put it is "comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable."
          	  
          	  i wanna make this a story that can be read and enjoyed by anyone because i do think the arcs these characters go on is worth every page, but i also want to make it so where people going through some bad times have something to have something they can be comforted by, because speaking from personal experience, im not going into it but ive been through it heavily. if i found tsast while i was in that state i think it really would have helped. thats my main goal with tsast. use my story telling to make something that can comfort those going through it and to show them why continuing on is very worth it.
          	  
          	  sorry for the rant. deep depressing stories arent for everyone and im not saying thats a bad thing please dont take it like that. if its not your thing then thats alright, i actually personally dont really care for most light hearted stories. its all just preference.
          	  
          	  i just wanted to say all of that because tsast is something very dear to me, it genuinely gave me purpose in life and actually helped me overcome some troubling things in my life. i went on this rant so i could explain why its way deeper than old outlawed, and to explain its not deep for the sake of being dark or edgy, this time its genuinely to create a really good story (at least i believe its great, but then im the author so i feel like my say isnt too much)
          	  
          	  im so so sorry for the long rant i just wanna get across my writing is nothing like it was when i made outlawed and means more now

okay so i have something to announce finally. i got something to post on here at last (well not right now but eventually i will if i follow it)
          
          so in 2024 by the end of it, Outlawed was kind of getting good because my story crafting was getting better. in current day Outlawed which is abbreviated as TSAST now, it basically have no trace at ALL of what outlawed used to be, so mostly everything in the 2024 draft is gone
          
          TSAST handles like extremely serious subject matter, and i kind of want to break into writing with something not as heavy, so im gonna somewhat bring back outlawed but not really as an AU, it's structure will follow more of an actual story. Thomas will return :D it wont be engine ocs in this one (in TSAST it will be ocs in Outlawed it wont be)
          
          im like 99.9% sure i wanna do this but for those who see this what do you think? would you give this a shot if i wrote it? i havent written anything in a good while ive just been story crafting... which TSAST will be a comic so it wont need as much written writing as a story like this would, but its probably a good way to dip my toes back into the scene
          
          and no i wont lose my mind about criticism  ive become a mature(ish) woman
          
          anyways W idea?

Royaility

i mean thats the plan i want opinions on my writing so i can improve
            as for depressing, ehhh not really? it'd start off a little on the sadder side but pick up and get better as the two mains develop. i also have several ideas for some funny bits (toby will be the funniest mf in this thing)
            
            i do wanna say my writing tends to fall onto the sadder side i guess thats just my style of story telling. nothing wrong with light hearted stories at all dont get me wrong, i enjoy stuff like that, i just personally enjoy writing deeper stuff. but i can assure you this will be no where near as depressing as old outlawed :P

@Royaility I’m up for it as long as it’s not as depressing as the OG outlaweds. Just remember to seek criticism, not praise. (One of my collage professors told me that.)

Hiya there. Usually I don't type all serious but I want to make this message as comprehensible as possible. I don't expect many people to see this, but for those who do there's just some things I want to say.
          
          I really want to apologize for how I've been in the past. If you weren't friends with me my personality was pretty rude, and even if you were chances were I'd still be an asshole. Long story short I was a pretty undesirable person to be around. I'm not trying to justify it when I say this, it's more of a message; The reason I ended up like I did was because of how I handled my issues. Bottling them up and laughing at them when I felt fine and just making them seem like nothing, as if they didn't actually bother me. If anyone's going through things, I beg you to explore healthier ways to cope. Apart from harming yourself, pushing it to the back of your mind is the worst thing I believe you can do. Even if you don't think about it, it's still there and it's making you a worse version of yourself. This isn't to say if you bottle it up you're a bad person, it can make you any different sort of way that's not healthy for the psyche. I hope this all makes sense, I'm not very good at wording stuff.
          
          Another aspect of my old personality I want to bring up is my ego. I had an INSANE ego over Outlawed because I thought it was just the greatest piece of fiction ever written and if you didn't like it you were just stupid because you didn't get it. Horrible reaction to criticism but that's unfortunately how I was. Every time I think about it, Outlawed was a shit story. Like I had the idea, I had the message, those were good. The execution was awful in every aspect. I thought the story was so good just for the simple fact I thought it was so deep. It was also super personal to me and it really put me on the best track to overcome the things I suffer with, so when people didn't like it I felt offended so I lashed out. 
          
          Message cap hitting, but I just wanted to apologize.

ErtlBlueBell

@AviaRoya It’s okay, we all go through that at some point in our lives, I forgive you.

So… how’s progress on Outlawed (the current version without any traces of Thomas in it) going?
          
          Any progress? Updates? Anything?
          
          Just curious, that’s all.

Royaility

@ErtlBlueBell its going good. title got changed to 'The Saints are Sinners too,' completely different from outlawed to the point i don't consider them the same. gonna start drawing character designs soon
            
            sorry for late response i don't check this site that often
