Hey, if we ever continue our role-play, we have to do it in like an RP book or something because they’re deleting private messages May 6

Y'all- this last month or so has been crazy. :,) 
          
          You can't even make up what my family and I have been going through (some details below the trigger warning at the end), and it's no wonder that I've had absolutely no energy. 
          
          My health is still pretty rough, and I will continue to be on a bit of hiatus for now so I can take care of myself and try to process everything.
          
          I may pop on occasionally to reply to things or post updates, but I will mostly be offline. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I do thank you all for being as understanding as you have been. I appreciate each one of you so much. <33

          My family and I have literally been sick every week since the middle of /September/. I'm not even kidding. My mom and I both have chronic health issues and weak immunity and multiple siblings have asthma and/or allergies- so whenever we get sick, it really lingers. Most of the people we interact with have no concept of this, and keep getting us sick because they refuse to stay home until they aren't contagious (or at least keep their distance until then).
          
          I'm still dealing with all of the emotional and mental side effects that occur when I get a concussion. My last one was in October, but I'm still struggling with all of the aftermath and with trying to 'get back to normal' now.
          
          We've had two deaths in the family in the past few months, and this has really taken a toll on us. We're struggling to navigate grief while acknowledge that life still needs to go on even despite everything.
          
          It's been a rough season for our family and we are so very burned out. If you could please keep us in your thoughts/prayers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you all. <33

I apologize for my absence these past few weeks. More family stuff has come up, and my health has taken a turn again, so I still need some time away from social media, and book updates will still be on hold for the time being. Thank you for your understanding and support, it means the world to me and I wish that I could thank each one of you as you deserve. Take care. <33

Some family things have come up, which means that book updates may be on hold for a little while as I sort through and process everything. Take care. <33

I've finally started going through some of my inbox and replying to things, so if I haven't gotten around to your message yet, I will soon! 
          
          If by some chance I happen to miss something that you sent me, anytime after like the 15'th of the month at the very latest, please do drop me another message in the same place so that I can find you! I don't want to forget anyone. <3
          
          My writing inspiration has been kind of slow lately, so you can wish me luck as I attempt to catch up on some things and actually get some content out to you guys at some point. It's a process, but I'm trying to take it slow. :,)
          
          I'm actually dropping a new book this Thursday or Friday, so keep your eyes open for that! No new fanfics- this will either be my author's journal or my ninjago oneshot book. (Let me know in the comments if you have a preference regarding which one I release first!)
          
          Have a great rest of your week! I apologize for the extra housekeeping announcements this week, especially while I've been sort of MIA. <33

F/bromy/lgia (i,a) and another c/ncussion (o) really do be kicking me in the butt these past few weeks. :’) 
          
          I'm probably going to be a little MIA again at least until my physical and mental health is better, but I may pop on occasionally to reply to things. If I don't get to your message right away, I apologize, and I promise I'll get to it eventually. <3
          
          Feel free to mark your calendars for next Friday (October 13'th) when chapter four of ‘connection’ should be dropping (as long as I can get it finished and edited before then!)
          
          Hope you all have a great week! <33

To celebrate the 6 year anniversary of the LEGO Ninjago Movie's release, enjoy chapter three of 'connection'! 
          
          I saw the movie a year after it came out, and it's actually what got me into the fandom in the first place. I'd seen some episodes of the show when I was little, but until I saw the movie I wasn't super interested in the fandom.
          
          This movie holds a very special place in my heart. 
          
          I absolutely love the soundtrack, and have the majority of it memorized. The music was one of the things that helped me through the first year after my concussions when I struggled with d/pression and anger and uncertainty about the future, back when everything with my health was new and scary.
          
          Through watching the movie and joining the fandom, I've met some of my closest Internet friends (too many to mention here). I'm so privileged to have met each one of them. They helped me through those years after my first concussion and through all of the emotional challenges and struggles that came with it. It is not an exaggeration to say that I would not have made it through those years without the support of these people.
          
          Through watching the movie and joining the fandom, I also began the crazy journey that is being a writer for this community. I'm grateful for the support that you have given me and my stories, it's above anything that I expect and deserve. There's no other community I would rather write for, no other readers have been so supportive along the way. I have grown so much because of these fanfics.
          
          I know that loving the movie just as much (if not more than!) the show seems to be a kind of a taboo thing amongst the fandom, but that's my side of it. I love the movie dearly, and it's what got me into this mess in the first place. 
          
          If you've made it this far, thank you for listening to my rambling thoughts regarding this topic. Have a wonderful day, and enjoy this chapter of 'connection'! <33

So... I spent many, many hours working on plot things for 'connection' last week. That's when I realized just how large of a scale this project will actually be. :,)
          
          As of right now, I have up to chapter thirty outlined and waiting to be written.
          
          At the rate that this is going, I've estimated there will be 70+ chapters in total.
          
          There will also be like 20+ interludes sprinkled throughout the story.
          
          If I release a chapter every three weeks starting this week, the story won't be finished until 2026 or 2027 (at the earliest!).
          
          What a journey this is going to be. 
          
          Who's ready for the emotional rollercoaster and time-consuming mess that will be this fic? Y'all had better buckle up for the ride. <33

I still need to go through my private messages at some point, but as of right now I think it's safe to say that I am tentatively coming off of my hiatus! :,)
          
          Chapter three of connection will be dropping later this week, and some life updates and things may be coming around that time too. 
          
          I appreciate you all so much. Thank you for everything. <33
