Aurora -> Air + Quintessence | Cavapoo (or maybe Aussiedoodle?)

Swiss -> Earth/Quintessence + Fire/Quintessence (25% Fire, 25% Earth, 50% Quint) | Double Doodle (Labradoodle + Bernadoodle)

Sunny -> Fire + Quintessence | Malidoodle (This is, quite possibly, The Worst Thing Ever)

Haze/Tempest -> Air/Quintessence + Quintessence (25% Air, 75% Quint) | F1b Goldendoodle, with 2 generations of black Poodle Parent, that just ends up looking like a regular black Poodle. Because I love her too much to make her a doodly doodle.

Honestly, it did take some reprogramming. These characters were now mine and mine only. Since I was always the one with all the minute ideas and concepts, it wasn't that hard to conceive them as mine, however I did feel some lingering guilt with needing to reclaim, I guess, the artistic process itself as a solo process.

I think the hardest part--after I was able to mentally classify it as mine--is that CHNT is heavily experimental fiction, meaning things were planned from the get-go to change and develop. Things changing, such as the tone getting darker to hammer home an overarching message, is always going to break the base, and everyone who doesn't like it will commonly attribute previous positives to your former cowriter, while attributing modern negatives to you. That's tough. I want credit for what I've done. Plenty of the beloved aspects of s1 were me, and someone can hate the direction of s2 as they wish, but I want it all to be recognized as still me. But it's also ultimately a very selfish want. I cannot and do not wish to control how someone interacts with my work. It's a reactive and juvenile way to feel.

The gang is all here! I've been playing tomodachi life for the past week and I am hooked with all the customization. I have been given too much creative freedom and I want to share some shenanigans that happened on my island 💙

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
