If I tried to come back now I would only end up posting a singular update and then disappear for months again. I actually have a half-made update for this blog that I never did finish.

But I'd like to try to make a proper comeback rather than drip-feeding you guys.

As in; I'm glad you liked the blog enough to send a message. Though at the same time I'm sorry for being absent! I still want to continue The Archive but with life and motivation not being the best right now...

Maybe someday I'll return though, as it's still a project close to my heart! And I've yet many characters to introduce, lore to explore, and all of that! I'm just uncertain if I want to go more lore heavy arcs or just... Try to loosen up and, you know.

Just let the blog flow as it does!

Sometimes I literally just worry too much about making a good story, rather than just enjoying my time so...

But for now the project is on a hiatus, and will be for the unforseeable future. But it isn't cancelled, as it is a project I still adore!

And worst case scenario if I was to actually not feel like continuing with ponies specifically, this would be one of the projects I'd convert into a more humanoid one.

Note: When I plan asks, I save down the ask texts into a document. But Tumblr at the ask where somebody's asking about a map. While I could save the text itself, sadly I don't recall who it is that sent the ask anymore! Gosh darnit Tumblr, gimme back my asks

But one of the asks I was gonna answer got eaten

You dont understand

How bloody upset I am right now

TumBLR PLEASE-

you seem a bit on edge.

Like the response to Banana Pie: It's really more made as a joke. I enjoy playing it up just for shits and giggles. Sure I have closed the Askbox in the past when something similar happened (With Banana Pie as well, go figure, I still don't understand how you found that one blog of mine I had yet to start lmao)

But if something ever bothers me Ask-wise I will address it! But usually it's just me being a gremlin.

Unless you're actively trying to poke at my nerves, it tends to be fairly hard to set me off. I'm not known to be an angry person- I might just go off on a tangent if you bring up certain subjects (Like how disappointed I am in "Boruto New Generations"). So it's really just more silly stuff.

Okay so, don't get me wrong. I love y'all and the asks you send. hOWEVER-... God if it isn't overwhelming to try to figure out what to do and go through 70+ asks to try to find which ones to use.

So, I am going to delete asks. Not all, but try to decrease them as much as possible. The asks I will keep are likely to be asks aimed at the characters, i.e. about them. Or asks about the Archive and lore in general.

Doesn't mean I'll return to this blog just yet, I have some other things to do and have been in a bit of an art block. Been working on an update for another blog and it's been-... Painful, for some reason. Like walking through mud.

[ Mod ]: Okay so, I’ll answer this as a Mod rather than as Lea because it allows me to explain it a bit better. Since, to be fair. Lea herself doesn’t fully know how it works either and is kind of embarrassed to talk about it as should’ve been visible in previous updates. 

Anyways, this colour wheel is the BASICS of it. However, it isn’t 100% accurate either. Remember that whenever I’ve shown Lea, she tends to be more than one colour. That is because emotions are complex and often appear hand in hand with one another. Also no, I did not write EVERY emotion here either.

When trying to decipher what she’s feeling, take into account both colours and what she is doing, what she looks like. Because if she’s more on the yellow side, she doesn’t have to be nervous, it could really just be her being excited. Could also be more neutral, and her pumped up with adrenaline and feeling energized.

But what I am NOT showing here fully, is SHADES and SATURATIONS.

How light or dark a colour is will also hint towards what she is feeling. If she is blue, she might be sad or disappointed. But if she’s a very dark blue, she might feel grief/despair. If she’s a dark red, she might be furious.

To sum it up: Darker colours are usually negative emotions. Lighter/pastel colours are usually softer.

However. I won’t ever give you guys an EXACT chart of what is what. That is because if I do that, I tie myself down to HAVE to obey it. Moreover, even if I wanted to, I can’t. I’d have to do an entire spectrum of colours with the different shades, saturations, etc.

Think about this as a guideline and not rules set in stone.

It is up to you guys how you interpret it. Maybe you’ll be right, maybe you’ll be wrong. Emotions are difficult. Why do you think putting colours to them would be any easier?
