Y'all.
Y'ALL.
February:
Me: I'm ready to move in! :D
Apartment: Oh, you're apartment isn't ready.
Me: ... looks at car full of my stuff and my schedule specifically cleared for move in THAT DAY
Me: I called two weeks ago to make sure everything was fine. I came in physically at the same time. You all said it would be okay.
Apartment: Turns out we were wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Me:
Apartment: We're still going to charge you for the days you didn't have your apartment.
March:
Me: Time to get Winter spayed now that I have insurance for her!
Insurance: Oh sorry, you were just days away from being able to get reimbursement on your cat's spay.
Me: ... WHAT-
Insurance: So anyway-
April:
Mom:
Me: Please no.
Mom: has another seizure and reveals she's been hiding a variety of health problems
Me: Omg-
And that's just the tip of what's been going on. Life's been hectic. I honestly have not had time to really write or draw much of anything and have been spending most of my time screaming in my head. BUT, you also know what else happened? I started recording my Sims 4 gameplay for a Let's Play series and had just finished editing the first episode last night. I've been hanging out with IRL friends and enjoying the peace of living on my own again. A week ago, I finally unpacked my last box and I'm finally moved in. Turns out, my bills are pretty manageable, but goodness knows I would love for some overtime to deal with some of it all.
With that said -
Invisible Crown (Kingdom Hearts Sora-centric fanzine / Projected release: Later half of 2025)
So y'all know how I mentioned in #11 about how I lost the papers? Uhh... I was trying to find them while I was unpacking and... they're legit nowhere to be found. I'm just gonna move on past it. I want to do it very much, but I have to be realistic about my projects and time since I'm currently working 6-7 days a week, 50-70 hours.
Return of Vatonage (Pokemon Ranger Fan Comic / Long project)
Still working on character profiles and polishing up the story details. I've been having a lot of plot bunnies and ideas that's made it fun to revisit the later portions of the story which has made me gone back to the beginning to tweak some things. I also FINALLY watched a playthrough of the first Pokemon Ranger. And. Uh. They uh. Definitely got better with Shadows of Almia.
I especially needed info on whether the Keith in Almia is the same Keith who appears in the original Pokemon Ranger so I can figure out the timeline. I have concluded that I can't freaking tell. :,)
Past that, I did run into a stumbling block with Pinterest's recent banning streak, but I've got my boards back and have been doing some character sketch tests. I'm also going back and rewriting and working through my scripts for Year One. I'm still hoping to have some chapters up in September, so here's hoping~
