A place where I post fun stuff.

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since the last non-ask post, no? Indeed, while I have been busy attempting to write my Fan-Fics and the like, I have also decided to make an important announcement:

I am accepting commissions!

Translation and writing commissions to be precise!

I also wish to preface this by saying that, while working on commissions will not impact my work on AiP, it will limit the number of asks I can answer here on Tumblr as I will dedicate the time I used to give them towards writing and translation commissions.

So, without further ado, here are my commission services:

1. Writing:

I will write commissions between 1K words and 10K words when it comes to length. I expect 3$ per 1K words. When it comes to the story you wish to commission, all you need is to send me a vague plot of the story you wish for me to write and give me what the general atmosphere will be (comedic, serious, crack, etc.) and I will closely update you on the progress of your commission as it is being written.

The price and the length of the commission will be agreed on before the writing process commences so that no misunderstandings occur.

I WILL write :

Platonic/Familial relationships.

AUs.

OCs

Fluff/Angst, Hurt/Comfort, etc.

Any type of story except the ones in the list below.

I will NOT write :

NSFW.

Real-life politics.

Stories about real people.

Shipping stories (except for the ships I already have on AO3).

I am open to talking in length about the commission in order to provide the most satisfying results!

Fandoms I will write for:

Lobotomy Corporation

Library of Ruina

Limbus Company

Kim Possible

Ducktales

The Disney Duckverse in general, including the Italian comic verse.

Portal 2

If you have any specific Fandoms in mind that you want me to write for and it's not in the above list, you can tell me about them and about the story you have in mind and if I am able, I will write for that Fandom.

2. Translation:

When it comes to translation, I am able to translate to and from English, French and Arabic. Whether it's a comic you wish to read in another language or a work of yours that you want to see translated to another language, I can translate to and from these languages. This also includes voicing over translations if you so desire, or reading certain works in a translated language.

When it comes to fees, it will depend on the amount of words or pages translated and how much effort is needed; a comic page being translated will not be priced higher than a novel's page being translated, for example. If you have any concerns regarding the pricing and the fees, they can be addressed through private messages.

3. Voice over and voice acting:

I can voice over or voice act dialogue in the two aforementioned languages (English and French) in any small projects that might require them. Samples will be provided of my voice and voice acting to give you an accurate image of what I am capable of so you can decide for yourself if my voice fits what you have in mind. However, voice overs and voice acting require constant communication between me and whoever requests them so as to provide the best possible result when it comes to the emotions and pauses shown in the voice over or the voice acting, should they be required.

The fees for this commission in particular will vary based on the length of the recording demanded, and as with the translation fees, they are flexible and negotiable within private messages.

All payments will be done through PayPal!

Well, well, well. I bet you didn't expect me to come back so soon after finishing Adventures in Parenthood, didja'?! Well, here I am, and this time with something entirely new: Deltarune!

How's that for a double-whammy, eh? This here is a gift for my wonderful friend Souta, who was there for me for so, so long! This is just a small thing to display how thankful I really am, and I'm happy with how it turned out!

The Stanley Parable is a nonsensical and bizarre world that fits SO well with Tenna and Battat as characters in it, and it would make them go more insane than they already are, and I think it would be fantastic just how vitriolic they can get against one another as the selfishness takes them over...

- Do you happen to have an idea for a relationship chart for LobInstitute's Seed of Light gang? - Another idea would be a focus chapter on the Lob Institute trio.

Dear 7er3m1,

Sorry for the late reply! The last few days just didn't want to give me any time to type down a reply I'm happy with, but here I am now, at long last. Again, sorry for being so late!

As for 'World of Light', I don't see what could possibly be wrong with it. It's punny and yet gets the point perfectly across, what more can a man ask for? Though the world of L Institute does give me some interesting ideas to play on 'Lobotomy Corporation' but with the Institute's name thrown here and there. Hmmm...All ideas to consider moving forward!

As for our dear Kali and Daniel, don't you think that, no matter how close they get with Enoch's help, they would never give that little faux-innocent scoundrel the pleasure of knowing whether or not he pushed them to take things to the next level? While the next level here being the open admittance of their feelings, which is about as next level as the sidewalk is considered 'next level' when compared to the street, they'd still never give him the satisfaction, even if they might seriously consider it. Besides, Carmen would tease them regardless of the current status of their relationship (or lack thereof), and they in turn would be very willing to tease her back over the fact that Enoch and Lisa got a new sister very quickly after her marriage with Ayin, kehe.

As for your ideas with regards to reactions to the Light...I quite like them. I might think of as many factions as I can to include in that little 'Fic whenever it comes out, so keep an eye out for your ideas showing up~ And yeah, the Fixer couple will likely get the majority of the attention anyway. It'd be a struggle to not forget any factions and to make sure I give them all their dues to not give them lame scene or whatnot, as I'd hate to disappoint anyone who wanted a good scene with 'em. It'd be the same problem I had with AiP and the 13-character cast, but on a much smaller scale, I hope.

As for Vergilius...I like the idea. Maybe he chronicles the City's affairs now, always suspecting Ayin and Carmen and waiting for either of them to slip up. I'm thinking about maybe having him start a Red Bullet bus-making enterprise, but that might be too on-the-nose. Maybe as a therapist for couple's therapy and to help those dealing with the guilt of their actions, like leaving a trail of orphans in their wake.

An idea for a relationship chart...Uh, to be honest, I don't really have a relationship chart on hand, but beyond AyinxCarmen and DanielxKali, I'm not really sure who can go with who. I suppose each pair of Sephirahs works well together, but poor Benjamin would be on the sideline as this time he wouldn't have Binah to verbally spar with/reminisce about their mutual respect and admiration for Ayin. Or maybe he'd just be a secret sixth member of the AyinxCarmen family (or seventh, or eighth...depending how big these two get with the family)

B is for Betrayer...? Oh, I don't like the sound of that, which means I gotta hear you out on it, and ditto on the Black Silence couple. Send it over!

But yeah, I STILL really like your ideas! Thank you again for the wonderful ask, and I apologise once more for the late reply! Until next time, 7er3m1, be well, stay safe, and-

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Huh? What was that-

CRASH!

Dear 7er3m1,

These are ideas are simple magnificent, and I thank you so, so much for them! I'll definitely have them down in a little MSaHA sequel of sorts, and I'm still debating the name. Maybe 'World of Light' or 'A Lighter World'. It'll probably be a snippets collection, kind of like any hypothetical 'AiP 2' would be a collection of various scenes and snippets that I think would happen post AiP instead of a fully-fledged story that would tackle something like saving Carmen, considering that would take far too much time, ahah.

As for the first idea, yes, Daniel and Kali are still in their will-they-won't-they situation at this point of the MSaHA timeline, though everyone pretty much acknowledges the inevitable considering how much their jobs cross, and I'd imagine they might share a communal officer quarters/housing space of sorts considering they don't have time to get separate housing in the City. I can already see it: Lisa and Angela are on a yearly checkup and Ayin's off to work for the Institute, and it's Unca' Daniel and Auntie Kali's job to look after Enoch in the meantime, and though he doesn't cause any mischief around the office or whatnot, he might be the death of both of them considering how often he chokes them up. Might have some emotional scenes here and there about the reasons for these two being so emotionally constipated, and of course, a HEALTHY dose of Enoch having some (mostly) harmless fun at their expense.

And I also really like the other ideas, too! Between Carmen taking Angela for a swim and the awaited 'AiP: Beach Episode!', it seems like I'll be writing a lot of coastal stories lately, ahah. And don't worry, I'd love to write Ayin sating Carmen's pregnancy cravings just as a little tooth-rotting treat of pure fluff!

As for the longer Chapter with the City's denizens reacting to the Light, yeah, I think that'd be possible...perhaps it can even include faces that we haven't seen in a while in any of Project Moon's works lately, so this idea tickles my fancy, though it'll take a bit of a moment before I can settle on who I'll focus on. Don't worry, though, RolAngelica is guaranteed, and probably Xiaowell as well, since they'd benefit most from the Light's release. Lowell might even have a less tsundere wife, ahaha.

As for the family celebrating a holiday...Hmmm, I'll see about that. I do have a few ideas here and there, but this idea will probably come at a later date. Vergilius interacting with the family is a guarantee though, regardless of the circumstances I must twist to reach this point!

Dear Anonymous,

I think I'd be okay with them, yeah. RolAngelica is pretty much AyinXCarmen with a little bit more Fixer spice, and same with XiaoLowell (XiaoWell?), though the fire couple are characters I've never dabbled with before, so it'd be a learning experience with 'em.

Dear Anonymous,

Hello there to you too! Of course, I'd love to see Miss Sun and Her Angels getting some love, especially with so many happy ideas and events there!

As for writing more in this changed world, yeah, I could see myself writing little off-shoots and scenes in it from time to time, and if you have any ideas you'd like to see in it, feel free to request or suggest them, since right now my mind's a little bit fried from finishing AiP, so I'm open to all sorts of ideas if you have 'em! But yeah, writing little snippets or scenes from Miss Sun's world, even if they're not necessarily linked, would be rather fun, though I'd do them near the end of the year since I'm taking a writing break.

Ladies and gentlemen,

IT'S OUT. THE FINALE OF ADVENTURES IN PARENTHOOD IS OUT. AFTER FOUR YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS AND SO MUCH TIME SPENT WRITING AND 1,034,243 WORDS LATER, IT IS OUT.

There's a lot to say and a lot to address, but I already have a looooooooooooooong "CREDITS, NOTES, AND SPECIAL THANKS" Chapter that's coming out directly after the Finale, so I'll save everything for then, but I want to hear all of your thoughts and feedback about the Finale, but also about AiP in general! So for all of you who were saving your thoughts until then, be sure to share all of 'em now! I'll do my best to respond to any comments and asks to the best of my ability, so feel free to make your comments as long or as detailed as possible!

THE FINALE OF ADVENTURES IN PARENTHOOD RELEASED IN 9-12 HOURS

H-Hah...Finally...after so much time, and after fighting against this Chapter which absolutely did NOT wish to be written, I am pleased to announce:

THE PENULTIMATE CHAPTER OF ADVENTURES IN PARENTHOOD HAS BEEN RELEASED!!

It's been a long journey to get to this point, eh? Four years and four months, in fact...I just couldn't find the time and inspiration to get this Chapter out. It felt like I didn't know where I wanted things to go a lot, and I got stuck at the beginning at a specific scene that I tried so hard to rectify, which took more than a few months actually, and it was the source of most of the delay, though I won't lie and say that the University year hadn't been quite harsh and demanding when it came to time...

I tried to do a lot in this Chapter, including addressing the unforgivable nature of Ayin's sins and the air of rationality which surrounds him. It's not easy to discuss these topics since I didn't want to make light of them, and the same time I wanted him to progress forward, as it is the main reason for writing (officially!) a million words in this 'Fic, and I hope I managed to bring things about in a satisfying and emotionally touching way at once, while also bringing a fan-favourite character back that a LOT of people asked me about his absence from Epilogue II, eheheh.

Now what remains, you ask? Just a victory lap to set things right and show what will come next. A Finale to but the cherry on top of this thousand-layer cake, and I know you might worry about another long delay, but:

THE FINALE WILL RELEASE ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER!

Come one, come all! I eagerly await to hear all your feedback and thoughts then, especially YOU! Yes, you, the ones who've been silently reading all these years! I'd love to hear all your thoughts then!

And we STILL have a Finale left. I hope to see you then!

Alright, I know this blog has been dormant for a while, but I would like to announce that in the coming 12-16 hours Adventures in Parenthood's newest and PENULTIMATE CHAPTER will FINALLY be released!

But it's pretty much all I can offer with regards to Limbus here. I'll leave the heavy theorising to the rest of everyone here, heh.

So, Hong-Lu' Canto....it's pretty much a 'rise and fall' story of a Chinese Dynasty within the City, no? A dynasty falls and another rises, a cyclical event as old as time, for no dynasty was meant to live on forever. It's like the rise of the Ming and Tang dynasties, historically speaking, when one dynasty grows corrupt and feeble, another takes it's place, though obviously in a far less organised manner than what happened in Hongyuan.

However, the difference here is that the dynasty in question and it's Elders sought to obtain immortality at any cost, and they fall into the trap many immortality chasers find themselves in: What is immortality really worth if it cannot stop the ageing process and the frail health that follows? In Canto VIII, this is in the sense that H-Corp. isn't a great place to live and has been like this for quite the while now because the dynasty ruling it simply isn't changing. It's been there rotting and growing more corrupt, but chasing immortality both:

A) Distracts them from taking care of the Corporation.

B) Means that they could be on their last legs and yet they just won't pass away.

In that sense, we can see why it is considered abnormal and against humanity to chase immortality in this Canto, and why cutting them off and allowing Xichun to be in charge restores things to their natural order.

We can then take this a step further and say this could be part of why the City is ailing. At some point, the natural cycle of rise and fall was replaced by a cycle that is abnormal, attempting to remain forever and using methods that stop the gears from turning and let them rust and decay, but never move forward. Of course, the City still suffers from a myriad of other issues, but this could be a major element to why the regular cycle of rise and fall just doesn't exist or change things for the better as much as it does in our world.

Imagine if Zena comes back to, oh I don't know, collect their ex-Arbiter and just gets blasted into childhood.

I know they probably won't be used as weapons in AiP but it's a funny thought.

Dear Anon,

It is not only a funny image, but one I have thought of a couple of times! I imagine that a lot of funny scenarios could arise from various PM characters getting shot by the De-Ager and then acting more innocent and somewhat tragic as children since we know that these innocent children would grow up into the far less happier characters of the City.

Still, the idea of a little Zena that gets zapped back into youthful childhood and clinging onto "big sister Garion!!" as she might remember her is as cute as it is hilarious, especially if the beam misses Baral and Luda, forcing some tense cooperation between the Library's denizens so everyone gets what they want. The real trick would be to find a method to make re-aging Zena a little more difficult than just Angela summoning a new De-Ager or Ayin reconstructing one.

Maybe, long-after AiP, Ayin does get to work on a machine for Benjamin Hokma's wrinkles, but then leaves with Angela and Roland for a quick week-long excursion to the Ruins to map them and study them, only for Zena to arrive for some unexplained plot reason and accidentally turn-on the half-formed De-Ager, shooting herself with it and forcing the Librarians to take care of a short-tempered bratty little kid who can't stop getting touchy-feelsy with the only other person in the Library who actually looks like her: Binah.

A journey in which Binah may or may not realise she's not as emotionless as she knows she is, the Librarians discover than even Arbiters had innocent origins, and Baral and Luda contemplate if anyone in the Library is truly sane. Call it "Arbitrarily Cute!" or "Chronic Arbitration!", with the formal and informal meaning of chronic playing off of each other, heh.

Dear Anonymous,

First of all, apologies for the late reply! I was a little busy these days, so I apologise for responding so late!

To be honest, I originally intended to have a few scenes that delve deeply into X's lifespan, but then I began writing AiP when I thought it would be a short spin-off in my main PM AU. After AiP grew to its current length, I decided to abandon the "main sequel" that I had planned for TMFoA, but the reason X's lifespan would be limited to those ten years is because of the constant repeats and reconstructions of his body over and over until the body itself became frail and weak. I chose the 10 year mark arbitrarily, but I think it fits well with the theme of 10000 years passing within the Corporation and 10 years passing in the outside world, like a price that X has to pay on top of everything he already gave for enduring for so long.

Considering how many emotions this fills me with, you did a good job. Do you have any plans for this?

Dear Anonymous,

Why, yes, you did remember correctly.

And yes, I do have plans for this, though they wouldn't be plans if I outright shared them don't you think~?

On a more serious note, I myself have a lot of ideas for where this could go, and I have thought about evoking various bits and bobs of symbolism here and there, but I don't know if AiP has the narrative space to delve in detail about this particular topic. I have the possibilities in my head, but AiP has already treated so many ideas and scenes, but even if AiP doesn't contain the whole concept, that doesn't mean I'll leave the gun uncocked, or even unfired for that matter. It just means that I might graze your ears with the bullet and leave you wondering when I'll be able to reload this stupid gun again because it's a matchlock from 1545 and I am dropping the ramming rod in a pile of brown sticks every few seconds.
