Lux/Blitz

hey, it's blitz. happy new year's, guys. i've decided to change my username, and i've been meaning to for a long time now. this year, i finally have. i am still blitz, though, so if you'd prefer to keep calling me that, go ahead. it's not like a deadname situation or anything.
          
          why the name change? i literally made the username "blitzywolf" when i was like 10, and i just find it to be cringe. i've had this new name in mind for like 2 years, but only now have i gone through with the change after some extreme deliberation.
          
          @BlitzyWolf has been transferred to my alt account that has the google translate hell version of "just bakugou and todoroki" for those unaware of the change. i will follow that alt account so anyone stumbling upon my profile later down the line who knew me as blitz and did not know about the change can see my user there, and then likely tap on it for more info. my alt is just going to have the information about the change. i'll keep the google translate fic up, though, because why not?
          
          and fun fact: as a tribute to my old user as well as other reasons, this username is very close to "lupine." that's where it originated from.
          
          but i hope you all had a nice break and happy holidays, and i hope 2025 is a great year for us all.

happy holidays! i will almost certainly have an announcement around new year's about a change that's coming... what is that change? you'll see soon enough.

"Smoke & Broken Dreams" has been released. With that, I can get back to working on the things I actually need to finish lol.
          
          You shouldn't have to worry about this story not getting updated for a million years multiple times like what happened with House of Cards and what is currently happening with Facade since I played it smart this time and actually finished the story in its entirety before beginning to roll out the chapters. 
          
          Speaking of Facade, that's the story I'm going to resume my work on since this is out of the way. I literally abandoned Facade (temporarily...) on the last or second to last chapter, so it *shouldn't* take too long to finish, but knowing me, something will happen.
          
          Next update for No Escape might be tomorrow or the day after.
          
          Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy. It's a short story compared to most of my other stories, but it still ended up being way longer than I'd hoped for, as always.

alrighty, planning to release that new todobaku story within the next 24 hours or so.

almost done with the todobaku w.i.p. i'm hoping to release it sometime this weekend. no guarantees, but i'm aiming for that.
          
          unfortunately, it most certainly did not end up being around 15k words like i'd hoped for. rather, it's going to be at least 25k words. while that's still technically a pretty short story, i was still hoping for a truly short story.
          
          oh well. i knew it'd never go as planned.

just as a brief update, i think i have like a chapter and a half left of the todobaku w.i.p. before it's finished. i'm really hoping it ends up being around 20k words in total and not even a thousand more.
          
          i assure you i'm making *some* progress lol. it's far from my best work, but hey, it's something.
          
          my apologies to those of you who have been waiting on Facade. i swear i'll get back to that after i finish this. again, i'm super close to finishing it as well, so hopefully it's not too too long before you see some chapters rolling out.

i'll try to have the next chapter of No Escape up within the next few days.

sorry i haven't been great about updating. things are still busy, and it's just so draining. especially when i'm usually getting an hour or two of sleep every single night and almost never able to take naps. and when i do manage to take naps, they're never more than 2 hours long.
          
          so i'm just. tired. and in my free time i just don't feel like writing, and i never feel like updating. like i'll just tell myself every day "i need to update this," and then i'll think about the work involved, and every time, i just push it off and tell myself i'll do it the next day. and then "tomorrow" turns into days, weeks, or even months. i'm sure many of you know exactly what i'm talking about and can strongly relate. so i just want to turn my brain off and not have to think about anything, you know?
          
          my new dog is also really not helping. she is a major time commitment. she's an amazing dog, but her biggest downfalls just so happen to be some extreme pet peeves of mine. we're hiring a professional trainer soon for some of her problems, but it's gonna be a while before she's, well, not as high maintenance as she's proven to be. still, though, overall, she's fantastic. 
          
          anyway. i'll try to update No Escape this weekend. no guarantees, but i'll try.

might momentarily pause my writing for No Escape (i will still publish new chapters, rest assured) to finish the todobaku short story. i'm likely 2/3rds to 3/4ths done, so i'm hoping it won't take too long to finish it up. then, after i've finished the short story, i'll do my best to update it twice a week, the alternating once a week then twice a week, or once a week. i'll also get back to working on No Escape and Facade.
          
          this short story is likely going to be around 8 chapters long, with each chapter being about 2.9k words, so i might split the chapters in half to make it about 16 chapters long. by that estimate, the story will be around 23k words long. once again, another short piece of writing that winds up longer than i intended. of course, this is just an estimate, but knowing me, it'll be about this long if not longer.
          
          but, well, this is my tentative target plan.

my writing has kind of been at a standstill for a while from everything that's been going on, but i do have the entirety of No Escape mapped out, and i'm extremely close to writing the climax of the story. and let me say that i've been itching to write it for a long time. the todobaku story i've been teasing is probably like 2/3rds done. maybe a little less? not sure. but like you'll see as one of the first parts of the description for it, it's a lot of: trauma, love, lust, and pain.
