I hope to share it with the world one day

Ahem

Cough

Cough

I should start drawing again

THE HEART FOUNDATION’S [word I can’t figure out yet] OF UNREQUITED LOVE WILL BEGIN PRODUCTION SHORTLY

Runs out again

I love drawing Skizz, I need to draw him more, he’s literally my best design ever. Neither he nor Tango agreed to be drawn in this drawing, but that doesn’t matter

Side note: I almost lost all of my bullet-pointed progress and had to restart from nothing, but thank Google Docs for saving edit history

…Theres no reason I’m reposting/talking about a bunch of ships suddenly, why do you ask? Are you the cops?

Day 18: AU

Now formally introducing…

The Heart Foundation’s Quest for Unrequited Love!

This is a Life Series and Hermitcraft AU, taking place mostly within Hermitcraft but with ideas looped in from the Life Series.

It follows Tango, who’s caught suffocating feelings for Jimmy, and Skizz, who’s finally realized he wants to be more than friends with Impulse. Lovely jubbly, right?

Now, here’s what drives the plot, Skizz comes to Tango with an idea of a post-Valentine’s platonic love festival inspired by their team of The Heart Foundation during the last Life season, all to finally tell Impulse how he feels.

Though, through all of this, all those (two [2]) years since Double Life, Tango has been fighting hanahaki. Years. Multiple.

What is to ensue in this fourteen (maybe fifteen, I might split one) chapter story that’s currently in development? Who’s to say! Me, I’m to say, but you’ll have to stick around and wait to see for yourself! Ha!

Follow the tag #THFQOUL and follow me to see more on this AU! I will do my big info dump on AU day later this month >:3

Day 7: Skizz

I’ll give you a very vague hint though…

It was Skizz’s idea. The main thing driving the plot was Skizz’s idea.

And then three hours later I finished the (beta title name, dont mind it) old man yaoi chapter?? Crazy progress over here

And the next chapter after that is a really fun one?? I should to do research on Cub but for some reason that man’s voice found a slot in my brain and wedged itself so far in that I can never forget it

While I’m here, I have an announcement to make:

Tango thinks (not says, thinks)

The f word

Once

THFQOUL LORE DROP #4

Idk man I’m tired and reading so have one sentence:

Etho, Zedaph, and Cub all get their own ✨special feature chapters✨

cough Okay eepy time now

You know whose day it is? Keralis!

You know who I don’t know? Keralis!

You know what that means?

THFQOUL LORE DROP #3

Yes yes I know, “Willow, you’re doing a lot of these, you sure you don’t want to just try these cool hermits?” And uhh… if I force myself to work on something I don’t get too many happy chemicals from, I fall behind and feel bad, so.

We’re gonna do a bigger drop along with Skizz tomorrow, so I’ll keep it brief today. This is a Hanahaki AU, Tango being the one suffering from it. “But Willow, you said Skizz is a part of this too, doesn’t he also have it?” Nope! Heh.

Don’t want to fully spell it out for you, but it’s plainly obvious. This is, as a quick friendly reminder, a Ranchers and Skizzpulse story. You can put two and two together there.

Oh also here’s a song that makes me think of this AU:

THFQOUL LORE DROP #2

Starting off, doing that first lore drop and then going through and adding the tag to my other two posts about it made me realize how little I’ve shared about this AU! I do still want to keep the majority of information for when I finally start posting it on ao3 and for the AU day this month, but I’ll give you more than I have been, a vague teaser in the form of some paragraphs in the first few chapters:

“What, like, go around together giving people hugs and friend kisses? And also we’re dressed like hookers?” The Pitch; character’s words

“Tellin’ him.” Small pause, “It took me this long to realize what love was supposed to feel like,” He grabs my sleeve and tugs me to the side, narrowly avoiding the coffee table. “I don’t want to ruin it.” The Plan; character’s words and actions

“I write ‘Be sexy’ and ‘It’s okay to be alone’.” The Plan; character’s actions

“I stand up, take the petal off my tongue, and drop it in the fire. I take a breath of the smoke, as if it’ll burn the rest of the flowers in my lungs away, but it just makes me cough more.” Prologue; character’s actions
