If you're having trouble connecting to a ton of servers in Discord we can complain about it here lol

Finished that omegaverse Cyno/Alhaithem fic! it's just over 3k which is what I was aiming for. Just need someone to beta it now. I'm also pretty sure I spelled Alhaithem's name wrong about 50% of the time. Not even sure I'm spelling it correctly right now... But I definitely need a beta for it, just to help me know what tone it is so I can tag it appropriately.

Haven't made any progress of the Codywan Fae AU for the swbb but with the genshin fic out of the way I should have the motivation and time to get back into it!

I also super need to get back into Shadows from Midnight!! Don't know if I have the energy right now for something so heavy so this is more of a reminder.

And as a side note, I really need to find some better Genshin avatars for this account xD

Been thinking about what I'm going to write for next years Star Wars Big Bang and I think I've settled on the fae AU i made this one pic for codywan week. I've been flip flopping on this au literally just bc I like the idea of it as an original story tbh. But will I ever get to it if I get if i decide to go that route? I have a lot of original ideas and still haven't made any of them, so I might as well just go through with this one as a fic!

I'm hoping this fic won't be too difficult to write? Or take too long, or be too long ect. ect. I need something quick. I've been enjoying the short Genshin fic I've been working on and thinking about writing more short fics for Genshin just to get that out of my system. I think I'll go for something with Xiao next? In the cut-scenes for the chasm main quest the geo yaksha looked so much like Zhongli and I'm thinking something something, Xiao has a crush of Zhongli but can't pursue that so he goes to the geo yaksha instead...

Also, I may be getting a part time job after the new year, which I'm worried about affecting my ability to write my big bang fic on time. But I do have hopes that some kind of structure that a job would provide would help me be more productive with my free time?? I remember being more active back when I was in school at least.

Finished editing my Big Bang fic for the most part. Sent it back to the beta for better revisions lol. So relived to get that over with, I want to move onto other things!! Listening to the Writing Excuses podcast has been super inspirational and I've been wanting to work on original stuff so bad. There's a NaNo thing in July I think?? Gonna be working towards that I think.

So with that done I can focus on some more pressing issues :/. I re-upped my website's hosting, didn't know my 3 years were up so that was $200 bucks I didn't expect to be spending. Now I have to work on updating my website bc if I just spent that much on it I'm gonna make it more useful than it's been!! Lot of pruning my old stuff from college. It all looks like garbage with shaky lineart anyway. But I also have to make some new pieces I think. Definitely need to show off more character design, I have my Genshin Impact OC that I made and went through a whole process with. Gonna slap his stuff together and maybe make some nice splash art of him to go with it. Also gotta make some more chracter concept work, I have a lot of OCs for stuff, a webcomic, a future video game... lots of stuff I can pull from and get designed out and show off! Just have to... do it now lol.

Also, shipping stuff for storenvy doesn't look simple or intuitive, I'm probably going to have to go crawling back to etsy, god fucking damnit. Hoping to get the store back up by June with a lot of new items at least. Got some pride merch I'm working on!!

I'm hoping to show you a picture under the cut but dreamwidth is being fucky. Also Don't mind my camera, it makes everything look like ass.

My first year filing taxes and of course the IRS doesn't have my birthdate correct so it's rejected. Trying to log into the ssa site won't work because they won't let me verify my identity and they won't tell me what information I'm putting in is wrong but I assume it's my birthdate as well. So I use ID.me to try and verify, go through they're whole process of making an account which then logs me into the ssa site which still! has! me! locked! out! Jesus fucking christ why do I even bother.

The good thing to happen today was that I got my package form Unicorn Eclipse! they're stationary is so cute. They're absolutely #goals for my small business. My only complaint is minor, but they're sticker sheets aren't high quality paper, it's like printer paper which is a shame. So the images aren't as high definition like. But they were cheap and there's quite a few stickers on each so I won't feel bad about using them lol. Also the kiss cut stickers were about the same quality I print out which made me feel a lot better! IDK if anyone notices but when you get something printed from a printing company the dots of ink are pretty much unnoticeable but I've noticed them on stuff I've printed with my personal printer. It's not a big deal, they're still lovely looking but seeing someone else's business have the same quality was reassuring.

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my Etsy store. It's easier to go back to it even with the new fee increase, than learning a new store front but StoreEnvy is looking good?? I'll look more into it when I'm done with tax shit.

Also, trying to teach myself graphic design because I really need steady work and I don't have any other skills than art lmao. I also need to work form home :/ Hopefully I can find something good for free, I'm not good with online classes so paying for one and not really learning from it would suck.

so i finished my BB fic on sunday? waiting for my beta to go through it one last time before i start uploading it to the collection. I can't WAIT until monday, i hope people like it... or just read it xD, i know it's a super triggery fic but it is like 75% therapy lmao.

I"m also really pleased with the art i made for the event. 7 pieces in total, the last being a pinch hit i'm still working on. AND it's for my beta who is AMAZING, i can't wait to give them some really good art bc they've been INVALUABLE in making my fic readable. oh my god, if anyone likes my fic it's going to 100% be because of Fey making it readable.
