foof. typing this out on tumblr because it feels easier to collect my thoughts here rather than twitter, lmfao, but MAN my creative well is bone dry rn, i feel like i have zero energy and motivation to work on projects and i just. it's driving me crazy lmfao, and in the back of my mind i know i'm burnt out and need a break, but it's so hard to take a break, because like, i don't have much else going on in my life rn, or ever, like fandom has always been a huge, important part of my life and i don't rly know what to do or who i am if im not obsessed over SOMETHING lmfao. my gf said last night something like, i guess it's hard to take a break when it's related to a hyperfixation/special interest and like!! yeah!! it's rly hard to untangle all of that!

but. idk. i don't feel happy rn with a lot of things irl and online, and i know i need to rest and do nothing and let the well fill up again but that also scares me? so i am just going to try to ease up on myself a little bit, try to go more than a day without feeling compelled to post something new just because i'm afraid ppl will leave or forget me or something if i don't constantly pump out Content. and i know i did this to myself, lmfao, i rly don't know how to do things in moderation and this is a constant cycle of going too hard and then abruptly losing all interest

my gf sent me this last night and even the first paragraph got me!!! like, that's ME!!!

i am in the reluctant admission stage rn lmfao.

i am not going to say i am completely going to stop creating during this time, because that would be a lie, but i am rly going to try and chill tf out, stop worrying about getting fics done in time for mermay, and just kinda try to recharge. and i don't wanna say this is a firm break or whatever because when i inevitably fail at taking a break, i will end up beating up on myself, so im just gonna say i am gonna try to be like...... idk, creative Lite or something for a little bit.

im still gonna be around every day lmfao, but probably for less time than usual. i'm still gonna reblog/retweet things, and i'll probably have some original stuff as well, but i am not gonna keep holding myself to the impossible standard of having something new every day. and i know no one else expects that of me!!! but i have somehow put that expectation on myself. i can use this time to share some old favorites again instead!!

i just started a new game+ in coral island, so ive got that going for me, lmfao, and it's getting nicer outside finally and i rly truly need to touch grass more often!! idk why i always feel like i need a huge explanation for what i do, and it probably wont even be super noticeable to most ppl lol, but!! idk. sometimes i just need to work things out this way.

so, i am releasing myself of the burden of having some fics done for mermay, and posting daily, and feeling like i have to make tangible progress on creative projects on the regular. or, that is my goal, at any rate. i think i'll just focus on gifs/still shots for mermay, my fics will be ready when they are ready 😤 but even if i don't do that much, it's okay!!! mermaids are good any time of the year imho.

i just need to get to a point where i actually Enjoy the process of creating again, because it feels like a chore rn and i hate that :((((

idk, anyway if u read all this thank u, thank u for following me and liking what i do, here is an old gif for ur troubles

No Honour Among Thieves, now LIVE on Kickstarter!

mod galen here again - remember that post i made on the visual novel i'm working on, no honour among thieves? well the kickstarter is finally here, so you can watch this developing game come to life!

check it HERE!

oh yeah how sexy is that trailer B)) as you can see, a lot of work has been put into every aspect of this project, but for the game to reach it's full potential, we need more assets - hence, the kickstarter!

"okay, but what's in it for me?"

ah, spoken like a true criminal! you'll fit into the world of no honour among thieves perfectly. you can get the full game once it comes out with a sexy little discount, an ending guide so you don't accidentally get murked by any of the characters, fun backstory extras to really understand the setting, and even - get this - your own characters or places in the story. there's more, but you can check out the ks page for the individual tiers and more info!

"what if it doesn't get funded?"

well guess what you lucky duck, you'll get the game anyway! the issue here is the game will lack original music, lots of original backgrounds, have less cgs, no chances at voice acting or navin/siren routes, simpler customisation... but it'll still have the exciting story and current features as promised!

"okay, i'm sold - except i'm broke. how do i support?"

you and i both, friend - there's always the $1 tier that offers u deepfried memes that'll get progressively worse the more that sell LOL but most important is reblogging this post, following and retweeting posts on my twitter, and playing the demo on itch.io and leaving it a good rating and review! sharing this project in any way helps me immensely, and for that alone, you have my utmost grattitude.

i'll prevent this post from getting any longer by saying the kickstarter page is chock-full of info if you want to learn more about the game, and even more lore/character posts coming up soon on my patreon! i might just make a tumblr blog for the game too if i remember to cross-post, haha.

thanks as always,

mod galen xx

I will always yell at the bird to eat his cookies.

So, here we go, fam. This is gonna be a long one.

So, Christmas Eve evening, just this past year. We had exchanged gifts already, my family had gotten me some socks (including some Mega Man ones with X on them!!) and Nova and Poi had secretly downloaded Breath of the Wild to our Switch while we slept that night before! I was watching the husband finish up his first tour in Smash Ultimate's "World of Light" campaign and was finishing up our family batch of Christmas Cookies.

I had a few snowmen left, so I decided to make a snow X. Then a snow Zero. And finally a snow Axl. I also made a few stars into Starmen. Why not, right? I posted my cookies to my Twitter with the tags of #Christmas, #MegaManX, etc. They didn't look too wonderful, Zero put in a bit too much milk when he helped me out to make the frosting. ^^;

Then Protodude retweeted it, as well as the MM Network's twitter, unbeknownst to myself at the time. My husband, Zero, had just finally found X and Zero's souls at the end of WoL, and just had rescued X when my phone started buzzing like mad. It had just struck midnight, Christmas morning. I figured it was probably some of my netfriends wishing me a happy holiday, and I'd get to them in a bit when I was done with the cookies and my fingers weren't covered in frosting.

My phone starts going off even more. Like, to where if I didn't know better, I'd say there's an emergency. Finally, I pick up my phone to a swamp of retweets and likes. Sooo many people. I start spazzing, natch.. and then I notice a "sonicmega" aka Sean Chiplock aka fucking Revali in the goddamned game I just got for Christmas today fucking Christ I KNEW HE WAS A MEGA MAN FAN BUT WHAT WHY IS HE LIKING MY CRAPPY COOKIES THEY LITERALLY LOOK LIKE WHITE TURDS ---

So noticing the fuggin voice actor that has happened across my cookies, I thanked him for even acknowledging my crappy work.

I'll let the next image explain itself.

OK SO TO SAY THE LEAST I WAS FLOORED. HE WANTS MY CRAPPY COOKIES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

Ok, ok, so I responded that I would, as soon as Christmas was over. ..and MagFest, kinda forgot MagFest.

Zero got laid off less than an hour onto his first day back from his vacation to MagFest. I mean, we were planning on having him look for a new job, come spring, considering how crappily paid he was compared to similar engineering jobs in the area, but now we at least had more free time to make cookies!

So as soon as that was over, I was chomping at the bit to Zero. "Hon. We need butter and milk so I can make Mr. Chiplock's cookies!!!" "Right, right..." and off Zee would toddle back into Wal-Mart or Aldi or whatever to get the required item. (I have a bad back and a bad knee that loves to flare up this time of year thanks to the cold, and my husband is the least broken of the two of us.)

Regardless, that weekend after MagFest we got to work and made the batter. Zero cut nothing but snowmen and a few stars and cooked them, the next night I went and made the frosting. We set aside the required colors to make more X, Zero, and Axl snowmen. We made a few starmen too.

So these guys came out a lot better! After they were done, I included a picture to Mr. Chiplock via PM.

Lol, yeah he liked 'em.

I froze them until Zee and I were ready to send. (I wanted to wait until Zee started getting his Unemployment checks. I also wanted to do a picture and include the recipe so Mr. Chiplock can make his own if he wanted to.) I forgot to take a picture of the finished art but here's the WIP:

Anyhoooo.. I just sent them off today. Here's hoping they make it over there okay! (N.Y. to Cali... whew!)

He's a Mega Man fan. He's one of US.

We Mega Man fans gotta stick together.
