#ari updates

I apologize for the hiatus but things have been absolutely crazy for me since I moved (will elaborate in my authors note so please forgive the word vomit that'll start off the update) and I think all the bad energy that's been surrounding me lately is finally trying to attack my writing because I almost lost 5K WORDS (essentially the entirety of the current chapter 36 draft) to google docs deciding that I could no longer access my document 😭 panicked but solved it by making a copy thankfully but I'm hoping that when I post the new update things start getting better because I fear the ao3 curse is finally catching up to me after over a year...

I hope you all are doing better than I am and excited to finally update after forever! So eager to see what you all think and I am happy to note that I'm changing up my update planning so that hopefully I don't end up going on a 1+ month hiatus every time (⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠;⁠)

Stay tuned for an update by, at the latest, the end of this week (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this comment means to me.

I came up with Quinn in 2020 during the pandemic, with nothing better to do I went back to writing. Then one day me and my friend were talking about super heroes specifically female super heroes. She had asked "If you could make your own character in the MHA universe, what would she be like?" And I had to think about it for a while. I was already reading the manga so characters that had already came out in the manga and not the anime were already known to me. Like Miriko, I loved her personality and her tenacity but I felt that she was too similar to Bakugo.

My favorite super heroes going up were Storm, Rouge and Jean grey. Each woman was powerful and also so misunderstood. I kind of took elements from each character and applied them to Quinn, but I wanted her to compliment Hawks as well. He comes off as playful and lazy when we first see him but as we got to know him he is so complex, I wanted to explore that with Quinn. Her design came from me wanting to have diversity in the community, having a strong female POC is something I wanted to focus on as well and wanted people to be able to relate to her either as a women themselves or as a POC.

1. I’m taking a small break for a few days just to get my head back on straight. I’ll be active as much as I can do feel free to still talk to me. I’ll hopefully be back to posting by Saturday/Sunday 🤍

2. I got news my MRI came back clean; no tumors or anything wrong that my doctor saw

3. But because my doctor is not specialized in potential head trauma or other serious issues involving the braib and I’m still having bad headaches, I’m being sent to a neurologist sometime soon. I got that call today.

4. Upside to all of this, the Preds and Avs game being rescheduled from November is allowing me to go in April. I’m also going to an Ice Bears game Friday and hopefully Toronto and Carolina at the end of March? Who knows at this point.

Thanks for hanging out with me and reading my rambles 🤍

i went ahead and created the Common Ink discord server today.

🎉 Find DREAM car!

Yes I know it’s not a Ferrari... (sadly Ferrari is still outside of the realm of possibility). But I made my first big adult purchase today on this beauty I’ve been pining for, for YEARS!

Anyway I am excited to show her to everyone. Now I have to find a commemorative g1...

I had intended to update AWRWTS after my finals and before christmas, but unfortunately I had a carpal tunnel flare right after finals (truly every writer's worst nightmare •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀) and was entirely out of commission for a week to take care of it...so the progress on the new chapter and the other unpublished works I've been working on was delayed much to my chagrin :(

I will, at the very least, be getting out an update for AWRWTS before 2026, so please stay tuned for that and more works to come in the new year :))

just dropped a new fic in time for halloween 🐺! it's set in the jakehoon werewolf universe as I'm waiting to finish writing it to post but I hope this satisfies any werewolf cravings in the meantime!

please enjoy "full moon" and let me know what you think!
