#update time!

i'll try to give you a rly abridged version of this whole situation and i'll only focus on the whole Being Online issue because everything else seems unnecessary to air out so, y'know

the beginning of the end: (why i went MIA)

January, 2022, was... a whole fucking lot. i got kicked out/ran away from my grandmother's place the week after my birthday and it was all so sudden i didn't get a chance to set up a job for myself nor a new place for me to live because Sunday she went ballistic and by the next Friday i had packed up the essentials and then left with no plan and barely any money to my name!

i spent nearly a month at a friend's house and that was pretty uncomfy, not for any fault of theirs but because... i was invading their and their partner's space so i had to leave

after that Some Things happened and that's how we landed:

here! (the current state of things)

i'm staying semi-permanently (and by that i mean: until i can find something better) with some family members

at this place there's no internet connection, something i've mentioned before. the other thing preventing me from being online, nd not only here but on ao3, discord, and whatsapp, is that my old laptop is fucking ancient and i try to save my data as much as i can because i'm, as i write this, still unemployed and the only money to my name is actually a weekly allowance from my uncle which covers little more than my phone bill and very, very, very basic groceries so,, no room for luxuries such as: wasting time online

which.... has been both sad and liberating? we don't have to get into it

the future is [hopefully] not so bleak! (the things ahead)

okay so as i said, now i have some new hardware that a family member bought for me. it's a very basic laptop so i can't go back to doing shit like making gifs or anything fancy anytime soon. this family member also got me a wipod which serves as a decent enough patch for the lack of internet except i, again, don't currently have a job to sustain being online as much as i used to be or even more than i am right now

the good news, from my pov, is that when i am online the experience should be way smoother AND i can finally write and edit while offline, which wasn't really a possibility from my old laptop. basically, writing is the only thing that's been improved and that's if i write because.... i still do have a life and i do shit every day but hey! we're trying to make the most of things!

right now, in this very instant, i'm at a friend's house so i'm stealing their wifi so i'll be trying to empty out my inbox and see if there's anything in my drafts worth getting out there so you'll likely see some stuff from my queue soon!

this would also be the time to send in asks or whatever if you've got anything in particular to ask or say so,, uno. go to my inbox. have fun
