SO FOR THE RECORD, I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS ENTIRE TIME!

And before I forget, thank you for all of the watches, favorites and comments for the past long while!

Alright, so there's been a LOT happening over the past several months, but I just want to reassure you all that I really haven't gone anywhere. The same situations still apply, where I haven't be able to really afford new art so I've been stagnant on that front, and unfortunately paying for university takes precedence over getting commissions... as badly as I want new pictures of Grynn. But, that's for later in the journal - for now, let's start with some of the bare basics since the last time I made a journal for you all to read.


(1) School:

Starting in September, I'm going to be entering my third year of university... and I finally got into the program I've been shadowing for this entire time - Psychology! Things are going to pick up, but I feel this renewed vigor for academics, where last year I was dealing with a particularly miserable Sophomore Slump. Part of that was due to having to take a bunch of necessary non-Psychology courses to fill my diploma requirements, but it drained the absolute life out of me because I wasn't studying things that I actually wanted to go into. Getting the approval into the program is a huge breath of fresh air and I'm so happy that I can really focus on doing the courses that I've been forced to wait on because I didn't meet the necessary prerequisite of being in the faculty. One step in the right direction!


(2) Family:

So, things have been... rough. My grandfather ended up passing away earlier in July and the family has been kind of a total trainwreck as a result. The funeral is coming up soon, but my immediate family is currently on vacation and won't be back until the day of my birthday. It's... a kick in the teeth, like every year, but I'll deal. I've got close friends just down the road from me now who are basically my family away from home and they've been so patient with me while I've been dealing with all of this crap.


(3) Games:

I was stuck in limbo for quite some time, but I decided to give Guild Wars 2 another try and I've been really enjoying it this time around! While it took a while for me to really get into the swing of things, someone was kind enough to send me the two expansions and while I was nervous to do Heart of Thorns given everything I was told about it in the past, once I really started into that content... it's REALLY not that bad. Scaling's a mess, sure, but I still enjoy it quite a bit and the maps' metas are incredibly fun and rewarding. Even been working towards a legendary, too. But hey, if people want to add me, just hit me up and I'll give my tag out - I love to RP in-game and I'm looking for people to run content with or just chat with more often.


(4) Zera:

My mate of four years,  Dumnezeirea and I broke up recently. Things weren't healthy between us for quite a long while, and while we tried to make it work, it was in our best interest to move on. Though, we're still friends and I'm not going to be removing any of our old art. Maybe in a bit, I'll tweak the descriptions so they better fit us not being together, but I still really do enjoy those pictures and the time we spent together. Instead of having people all confused and worried about not seeing the icons at the top of my page anymore, I figured it would be good to at least point it out somewhere.


(5) Friends?:

I do want to just give a huge, broad-scope apology to anyone that I may have disappeared on over the past while. Things were... messy, as you can already tell from all of the previous points, and I've been doing my best to try and reach out and reestablish contacts with anyone who's interested and willing to chat. By all means, if you want to talk, send me a note and I'd be more than happy to add you on Discord or Telegram - it's been a long time since I've chatted with all of you, mutuals included. Given, I'm still... shy, and somewhat quiet, but I'm trying my best to at least try to reply here and there these days.


(6) RP?:

I've been really getting into the swing of doing more RP lately, especially things related to Guild Wars 2 and I'd be down to do some RP with others if you're willing. While I do like to do fun, NSFW stuff, I also have a blast playing out my fluffy Charr-boy in SFW situations and letting people experience his personality and story themselves. Once again, tying back to point 5, don't be shy to hit me up if you wanna chat and stuff!




That was a huge dump, and I'm sure I've missed things, but if you managed to get this far, I just wanna say thank you once again for all of your support and being so patient with me. Truly, it means so much.
