BOO! Hehe, bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Fools. It's spoopy season. Expect the unexpected. Anyway, ahem- Hello! It's me, making a post to confirm I am indeed still alive! Exhausted, but alive. I have a few life updates to let everyone know what was going on/what's been on my mind while I was away, but I'll try to keep them short and sweet! ▪︎That job interview I mentioned in my last announcement? It went really well! So well, in fact, I actually got hired- Believe me, I was shocked as well. I've been working for a while now, which is the main reason I'm so exhausted. Most days I wake up at 5:30 AM, so no more late nights for me :') ▪︎Uni will be officially starting up again on Monday. If I think I'm busy now, I dread how I'll feel trying to balance work AND classes. I'll figure it out though! ...Did I ever actually mention I was studying? If I didn't, now you all know lol ▪︎After needing it for such a long time, I finally managed to book an appointment to see a dentist- Which ended up needing to be split into two appointments. I'm happy to report that my fear of needing to pay thousands to have repairs done was unnecessary! After having my teeth thoroughly cleaned, I was told I only need one filling. I'll be getting that done soon-ish! ▪︎Some mixed news: we had to take one of our family dogs to the vet because she had a lump, and we found out it was a cancerous tumour. But, after going through with surgery, she seems to be doing just fine! She has a check-up on Monday just to be sure, but things are looking good! I think that's everything of note that's been going on lately. I did come online for a blip like a week or two ago, but now I'm going to try to catch up with everything properly! Thank you to everyone who's been patient with me and my cat-like habit of coming and going, I love you all <3

someone’s been *busy* lmfao Congratulations on the job!! Having to wake up that early is a bit of a bummer, but I hope that the good ol’ pay check has been making it worth it! And I’m glad to hear that your family dog is doing better <3 Hopefully the check-up goes really smoothly!! Good luck with Uni btw It definitely sounds like it’ll be a bit hectic, but I’m sure that you’ll manage! Make sure that you’re taking care of yourself <3 (also complete slay with the oral hygiene!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡)

@umi-chu oh f u n- try listening to calm music, or write down your worries to attempt to get them out- they tend to look less intimidating when they're on the page

@alaughingstorm @CookiesNCream989 @qwertyuiop1234abc Okay so, some tech issues on the interviewer's side forced us to postpone the interview- So I'll still be sucking all of your luck away while I battle the anxiety, please and thank you ùwú

Just getting over a severe spike in anxiety, give me a sec to get back into the swing of things and respond to everyone <3

@umi-chu *God* do I feel that- panic attacks and anxiety attacks are the worst skxbjdbxb- and yeah, of course!

@qwertyuiop1234abc Ugh, tell me about it. Who decided anxiety was a thing that should exist?- Thank you though, I'm feeling pretty good now! But if I start to spiral again, I know you'll be there to help ^^

Fixed Ryōichi's page! It now displays both his gif and his theme song <3 So! Those of you who have read the chapter already may have noticed I've expanded upon some of the sections, giving some extra insight into the likes, dislikes, etc. I'll be adding these adjustments to the rest of my OCs as well over time, so don't be surprised if you see me unpublishing and republishing familiar faces! Not in any particular order, mind you- I'll just be editing whoever has my attention at the time, haha.

@qwertyuiop1234abc I'm glad you think so!! I love adding on to my characters, even if it's only a little bit ahsjajxabdj

Smh I was so excited to finally share my newest creation with everyone, only to find out this cursed app won't let me put both the gif and the song in at once. Ah well, the rest of the chapter looks good, so I'll figure it out :')

@-thiswarofhers Thank you so much!! I had a lot of fun writing everything out, so I'm glad the results are good!

It's officially done. RIP PMs, you will be missed... o7 I have discovered a small cheat for those using the app though! If you still see the message tab and can use the 'send a new message' button, pressing that and selecting whoever you were talking with will let you see the chain of messages you had going. You won't be able to send anything new, but at least you can backtrack a bit and save things with screenshots if you want :)

Hello all my beautiful people!! I am a bit late with addressing this since I've been so preoccupied irl, but sadly PMs are being removed tomorrow (or the day after, I'm not entirely sure how it'll work with time zones. Might check again to see if a specific time was announced after posting this). I've seen multiple people, especially in the roleplay community, say they'll likely be leaving the app after that happens. I just wanted to drop in and say I won't be one of those people! I may not be as active as I used to be, but you guys can't get rid of me that easily; I'll still be sticking around! Aside from having a few people I can only contact here, I also want to keep updating my OC book and sharing my characters with everyone. I still have a few being made, one of which I plan to showcase soon- Which will come with a few formatting adjustments as I want to spice things up a little. Please look forward to that! <3 I will of course miss being able to privately message people, but I'm trying to look on the bright side as we'll still have the comments and message board systems (even if they're not nearly as pleasant to use). Hopefully we can all still have fun together regardless!

@deaths-witch- Aw man, sounds like you got Stockholm Syndrome, my bad :( And that's strange, it sounds like that comment might be directed at somebody... No idea who that could be :D Then let's go ahead and do that!! And that's sO COOL, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU!! Have you gotten a drawing tablet and everything? :0 Veteran is correct, you've been through wars here. It does sound so weird when you put it like that though-

@deaths-witch- *sigh* You're right, I guess we could be boring like that. There goes the fun I would've had with holding you hostage ú-ù But seriously though, I'm totally down for that! I know I'm far from being super active (even on discord) but I will take any chance I can to keep in touch and geek out over our lovely children <3 That's so sad, but so true. Honestly I applaud you for sticking around as long as you have :')

@deaths-witch- That's actually so flattering, you have no idea- Looks like I'm holding you hostage with promises of delicious characters and art, hehe But honestly that's really understandable, this place has gone way downhill
