Hello there...
          	Long time no see once again...
          	
          	The last year or so since Ive talked on here has been more hectic than I would've liked,
          	
          	Graduated school and Im working on getting my builders license which required me to do a 60 hour long class online.
          	
          	Had a major icestorm up here that knocked out power for over 400,000 people (including me) still cleaning up from that mess, powerlines everywhere, power poles snapped in half, didn't have power for a week and somehow that amount of time made my family lucky since entire towns went around a month without power. Listened to all the trees falling in the woods, was very eery at night.
          	
          	Bout a new-to-me truck, on vacation right now then Im gonna start looking for a job.
          	
          	Other than all that it's just been a few things here and there, I am a lot more active on Ao3 when it comes to writing and reading, haven't really been writing much since the ice storm though. Motivation was hit brutally hard when I had to conserve battery on all my devices, and clean up the yard.
          	
          	Hope yall have been having a calmer year than me, and prayers up for anyone down in Texas where all the flooding is.

          Wage War - Stigma
          Imminence - The Black
          If Not For Me - Everything You Wanted
          Alleviate - DMNS
          In Hearts Wake - Incarnation
          Left To Suffer - Leap of Death
          Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
          Alpha Wolf - Half Living Things
          While She Sleeps - Self Hell
          Windwaker - HYPERVIOLENCE
          
          But we've also seen one of the best UK metal bands recently disband as well, Our Hollow Our Home broke up 6 days ago which is extremely sad to see.

I finally updated the mobile app for Wattpad, and it feels like they got rid of a bunch of features that were fairly new, and reverted back to the old style... Don't know how I feel about this, doesn't really have a nostalgia factor for me... plus I liked being able to see when parts were released so I'd be able to roughly estimate when the next chapter would be if the writer was consistent... But eh that's why I am not really on Wattpad much anymore and mainly focus on Ao3

Parts for Times of Strife are set for releasing on Froday all the way to August 23rd, which at this current time would have the story be all caught up, obviously I'm going to be writing in that time so there will be more chapters to add later, but if you don't feel like waiting head over to my Ao3 account to read it since that version is 100% caught up my Ao3 is DeepState

Just gonna take a moment to appreciate how great the metal scene is this year, Imminence, releasing The Black, Wage War releasing Stigma on June 21st, Left To Suffer releasing Leap Of Death sometime in August. If Not For Me released Everything You Wanted, While She Sleeps released Self Hell... which is an interesting album... very unique... and Our Hollow, Our Home will hopefully be releasing their first album with the new lineup this year, if they don't... well Veil Walker is a masterpiece of a song so I'll be fine if that's all we get this year. But yeah a lot more great albums were released and metalheads are being spoiled this year lol
