B L A C K W O O D .

a big reason as to why i’ve been absent as of late is because i’ve been dealing with college. covid - 19 has really been fucking me up in terms of my uni life, and i’ve been doing all my courses from home as i prep for audition number three ( 3 ). things are complicated, but i should be back on campus sometime next september if everything goes well. in order to occupy myself otherwise, i’ve been blasting out the tabletop rpgs with my mates, and we’ve been having a jolly time. oliver’s level fourteen ( 14 ) now, isn’t that wild? he’s grown up so much over these last two years.

i’ve also been having a little bit of tumblr revulsion recently because of drama involving two toxic ex - friends. i won’t go into it, but if you’ve seen the callout for @/miimuses, you’ll probably already know what i’m talking about. their presence has kinda . . . i wouldn’t say drove me out, but i definitely didn’t want to risk accidentally running into them or any of their friends. this is especially true for interactions in the fire emblem community. there has never been a community that i’ve been genuinely scared to roleplay in until now, but i’m slowly managing to wean my way back into it.

all things considered, if you haven’t seen the callout or you want to know accounts to avoid, private message me and i’ll get you the details. i haven’t shared it on my accounts, but my friends have shared it on theirs. luckily, i don’t think either of the ex - friends involved are on the site anymore, so it may not even matter.

but that’s really the only negative news - otherwise, i’ve just been kinda distracted from this account. a lot has been going on in my life, and though i feel kinda bad for not being here, i feel like it was a worthy sacrifice while it lasted. however, i’m back for a little bit! i know that i probably have a lot of inactive followers, or i’m in a lot of inactive communities, so i’ll need to search around some, but it’s a small price to pay for letting the creative juices flow once again.

i unfortunately won’t be able to do any real interactions here for a bit, however, since i’m on a new computer temporarily ( my charging cable decided to absolutely shit itself ) and i don’t have access to my icons. i could make new ones, but that would mean that i’d have to a) find another cracked version of photoshop and risk that being on my dad’s computer, and b) develop an entirely new layout to match. as much as i love oliver, i don’t know if he’s worth a full aesthetic reboot right now.
