So. I found out a couple of hours ago that Tumblr themes are a thing. XD So that customisation/fancy-schmancy stuff I was talking about? Finally got around to doing it. Here's the link to my Tumblr again, if anyone's interested in immersing themselves in * v i b e s . * XD

          (Also, I've had a bit of a change of plans recently. [Shocking, I know. :'D] I may be able to start uploading art again soon, to both my Wattpad AND my Tumblr! I know I said that I was going to keep Tumblr free of art, and I apologise for changing my plans again. However, there is one specific artist I've been following for a while on Tumblr in the Murder Drones fandom. They have one HECK of an Ao3 account; I love their fics so much. I've been dying to send them fanart for months now, and since we both have Tumblr, that would be the perfect way to do it! Thanks again for bearin' with me, y'all, and as always, remember to never put popsicles in your coffee. <33)

My gosh, guys, I just copy-pasted the fic to my Google Docs (in case something goes wrong on here and I need an emergency backup) and this thing. It takes up, like, almost 700 pages. The fic a l o n e . Not any of the description stuff. Average light-reading session, amirite? :'D

Y'ALL, TO EVERYONE WHO READ THE 3RD CHAPTER OF THE ART BOOK WHEN DYANA'S NAME WAS TERRI, PLEASE KNOW THAT IS HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE THEN. DYANA BAREROOT IS ESTERA'S MOTHER. THAT WAS AN ERROR ON MY PART; I SINCERLY APOLOGISE. XD

*slams palms down on table* 
          
          ALRIGHT. 
          
          AL-FREAKIN'-RIGHT. 
          
          IT'S UPLOADED.
          
          IT'S UP. 
          
          IT'S DONE. 
          
          IT'S TAKEN ME TWO YEARS,
          
          BUT BY GOSH, 
          
          IT 
          
          IS
          
          D O N E . 
          
          
          
          
          ...I hope y'all enjoy. X'D

...Okay, may have to delay the upload by a couple hours. The computer I’ve been working on is a bit tied up at the moment, and I don’t know if I’m going to be on by 6. Hopefully, I’ll be able to upload this by 8 CST. I’m so sorry, y’all; this was unprecedented and I’m trying my best to work around it. <33

It’s time. 
          
          
          After two years of waiting, it’s finally time, y’all. 
          
          
          I’ll be seeing y’all at 6:00 CST. :3

(‘Kay, y’all, mini-update: all of the last-minute editing to the fic is officially finished. Almost everything is now in my Wattpad story drafts, excluding a foreword/acknowledgement section and trigger warnings [but those are either done and ready to be copy-pasted or in the process of being made right now]. H o w e v e r , in the process of copy-pasting to Wattpad, the site botched up my formatting, specifically by resetting all of my italicised/bolded text. So, yeah. My intention was to have this uploaded and done tonight, but I have typesetting to tackle. By next week, if nothing else happens, we should be ready to go. Thank y’all so much again. <33)

(❗️Small trigger warning: discussion of religion, specifically Christianity. Don’t worry; it’s nothing terribly heavy. ❗️)
          
          …Bro. 
          
          Don’t you love it when you have your own little side-plot-thingy-thing all planned out, with your characters in a wonderful niche, and the’re moving along the story beautifully…only to realise that they’re so far away from canon it might actually be problematic?
          
          Don’t you just love that? XD
          
          I’m half-kidding; don’t worry. See, in AHGTD, I have Tubbo written as a reverend for Church Prime. And the entire fic has a very Christian undertone, really- not because I’m trying to indoctrinate anyone by any means, but because the book of Esther from the Bible very heavily correlates with the general storyline. That correlation wasn’t something that was intentional when I was first developing my protagonist two years ago, but it was one of those things that…kinda just happened, in its own silly way. 
          
          But it wasn’t until now that I thought to do research about Tubbo’s thoughts on religion, only to find out that he’s one of the most non-religious people on the server. (Not gonna lie, though, some of those clips I watched were genuinely hilarious- XD)
          
          Because of this new info I’ve found out, I tried to give AHGTD!Tubbo the vibes of a more casual reverend. Still a holy man, yes, but no so much that it prevents him from being a jokester, ya know? I just wanted to go ahead and tell you guys that. If any of you know anything I don’t (like a reason that I should keep AHGTD!Tubbo away from religion entirely), please do not hesitate to let me know. And, as always, I’ll make sure to put trigger warnings and all that jazz in the Intro (and at the beginning of individual chapters, if required).
          
          Thanks so much for listening, guys. As always, remember to never put popsicles in your coffee. Love y’all platonically! <3
