Due to a changing work schedule and some ongoing stress, lots of things have been changed and/or put on hold.
My current priority roleplay is going to be in the Realm of Mystara sims in Secondlife, either as Aparah (my pariah dragon) or as Raevik (my alpine gryphon). It's sort of understood that Aparah's story is kind of sluggish, especially since the custom applications needed for the input of his son are currently closed, and have been so for quite some time, until the administrators accommodate for otherwise. Any scenes I play with him are essentially like comic strips. Just moments in his existence that really don't have a hefty impact on any particular motive of his... Like the time he ran into an old friend and ended up scaring a she-wolf who thought she was going to take her bad day out on the two scariest dragons in Mystara. lol _{Who's idea was it to try stalking two black dragons at night and call it a good idea?} He does have a currently active arc going, but it's not exactly timed and can be filled with "offscreen events" that can stack up to no particular merit until my schedule loosens up... More or less, his soul is in a few different pieces and one person (who died in a past RP) has the largest chunk containing most of his memories and understandings, and another person (who the delusional bastard thinks betrayed him to his death) has a small, but important fragment of it, namely his compassion. The resolution of this could possibly involve a new character application and possibly a major (but non-fatal) conflict, so it's definitely something that will take some time. And I have little room for time. More to come for why.
Raevik, however, is a bit of a different story. He's a happier critter, so it's easier to focus on him. For stress reasons. Don't judge me. The old bird's got some interesting feels going on and most of his interactions with one character are getting a bit cute, so I'm interested to see where that goes. On another note, he's a bit of a social bird and his spring/summer plumage is coming out, so I kind of want to get him out and interacting with other characters... I originally wanted to get him into the children's group as a storyteller, but that takeoff kind of stalled and dropped into the thick Mystarian mud after people went missing early on... So Raevik's story stagnated when it shouldn't have, and I need to get that ball rolling again at some point. Hopefully soon. Maybe. Depends on things.

INTRA SIDERA. Yeah, the epic, ongoing Mass Effect/Born of Night/Dishonored/FURRIES IN SPACE thing me and... Two friends have had going on lately... I had hoped to be raking in some more players to help diversify the as-for-now "private" storyline, but with real-worldly stress mounting on everyone's shoulders and everyone handling it differently, I've firmly decided to put the Intra Sidera RP on hold until the three/four of us get our shit figured out, prioritized, and in proper fucking order. The story is amazing. I've had several people outside the RP wanting a fully organized and printed version of the storyline up and available on here or elsewhere. But we can't be bored, stressed, and clueless at the same time and expect things to be productive. Yes, there are things that need to be done. The Milky Way HQ has been wiped from existence by a supernova, it's Leader has died quite violently, Heller was severely injured in the attack, Edge is... Being Edge, Vohlk is hitting a special kind of puberty, Kooper is somewhere off the station doing something of little impact, Evan is due for showing Edge something cool, and some characters need to be introduced. Yeah, stuff needs to be done. It's kind of important stuff. But we're kind of important too, so until everyone gets their ducks in a row and stops feeling like our little recreational improv is a must-do, the Intra Sidera story timeline is officially frozen. We will re-convene once all of our reactions stop being meme-worthy and all of our lives have straightened up to the point where we don't need to drug our own tea to be chill. lol

The Pokemon fanfic... To be honest, I've got only like... Two (?) more chapters written and completed somewhere on my laptop, and I haven't even thought about it since then. I haven't touched Ghost Makers for the simple fact that the following chapter is... Difficult for me to write. Seriously. I wrote it once, and I trashed it because not only is it seriously unhappy, I didn't handle it very well on a structural level. There are a few decent chapters that can be typed out, once I have the time and get-go to throw the covers down and do it, but again, that motivation will come when real-worldly stress has toned down and I get some free time on my hands... That mythical "free time" I hear about... So yeah, Ghost Makers is going to take priority over the Pokemon fic. Which is how it should have been in the first damn place. Also, art from Ghost Makers. It occurred to me the other night that you guys only know what Sonar and Sigers look like, so I have yet to get references up of *takes a deep breath* Roadrunner, Impy, Nikko, Anna, Chad, Vic, Thash, Valentine, Miley, Lily, Bibi, and Dimitri... Yeah, that guy from the very first damn chapter that has no physical description as of yet. On a related note, I may put up a picture of the giant, goofy bartender Impy kicked a can at early on in the story... It's kind of his one appearance, but he had dialogue, a description, and a name, so it's a whatever thing if someone's curious enough. So yes. Ghost Makers and its character art is taking priority over Pokemon. Duh, me.

Art and stuff is what I'm going to be doing for now. YES, I DO ART. FOR THIS WEBSITE. FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE. I have maybe two pounds of papers worth of sketches from when I worked at the factory that may be funny/interesting enough for people to see, so I may scan those in and let you all perv them... Slowly... So I don't spam FA's front page... lol I'm serious, it's a LOT of pen sketches and little comic strips. It WILL flood the front page and all of my scraps gallery and your inboxes. That is the "no-brainer" part of my to-do list. The one thing I must put dedicated time into is the commission I referred to in the last journal. It's Intra Sidera related, so I've got that going for me. It's also detailed, because one character had to be covered in motherfucking crystals head to tailtip. Literally. But yes, that's what I will be doing for now as my recreational "get my shit together" project. A commission that should have been done quite some time ago. I've got a rough sketch of it, but yeah. Needs to be done.

As for me... Hell, I'm doing fine, I guess. Working hard, got me some money for the student loans that are kicking in, and hey, I managed to pay off that loan I made to bail my parents out of tax debt... Not as bad as it sounds. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... So there's one bit off of my shoulders. For the first time since I left to try and live in Memphis, my bank account almost reached over 2,500... Of course, I killed that number by paying off the loan, going grocery shopping, making a payment on a student loan, and paying a vet bill, but it was there! lol I lost one of my checkbooks, though, so I have to hunt for that... I have a feeling I know where I left it, and it's probably with my signature knife that I lost on the exact same day, but I have to wait for someone to come back from doing the epic shit he does. And I can do some more of that epic shit with him. With said checkbook. _{...Sssssssecretsssssss...}
...Loveyouall.

Anyway... So there you have it.

TL/DR, ACCORDING TO PRIORITY: Personal/small project of Intra Sidera with friends is on hold until all of us can stop acting like little shits. Working on a big commission. Putting Secondlife on the backburner, but any roleplay I do will focus on Raevik in Mystara and a little bit of Aparah in there from time to time. Ghost Makers chapters and art will be submitted according to priority,all at the cost of the Pokemon fanfic thing. I'm getting my own RL back in order.
