I did not intend to be so dead. I had intended to be on here. I feel like I keep making excuses, but like, how do I put this? They’re the only reasons I have.

My job is a constant mental drain, even when I’m not tutoring (I have to be on call). I have to do all the chores because I’m the only one at home with enough time to do them. I’ve got some projects to run and participate in. I can’t stop feeling like I’m being watched, either, which is probably stupid but it still kills any desire to get online.

I think the worst thing is that my cat is dying. He’s going to be 18 in March and it shows. I have to watch my cat, which has become a difficult chore. But even saying that, I don’t want to say goodbye. I got him when I was seven years old. I’m not ready to say goodbye. :’(

Still, thank you to everyone who continues to follow me. I hope that once the Christmas rush is over, I’ll be more active here. I hope I don’t let you down by saying that.

Update: circumstances regarding my cat have gotten worse. Right now my family is arguing when to put him down. He is dying, and we can’t stop it. I have cried my eyes out the last twenty hours. I had intended to get back on in the new year, but now I’m thinking it’s going to take until February for me to be in the mood to write again. I need time to mourn. I’ll understand if you all don’t want to wait around for me. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This place is better with you all in it.

Is everyone as awkward as me when they’re trying to thank their followers, I wonder? Seriously, guys. I made this blog on a whim last summer as I was rereading ASOIAF and remembered how much I loved Alys Karstark. And here I am, ten months later, with over 1,100 followers !!! Since I am awful with cute and sweet words, I’m going to show my appreciation in a way that I actually can. I made a present for you, and I hope you like it :)

THEME BASE CODE + BIAS BAES LIST.

I learned how to code from scratch very recently and I owe it all to @octomoosey‘s tutorials. Go check out her tutorials if you are interested in coding, because they’re the best.

Feel free to change it as much as you’d like. Make it unrecognisable, if you wish. All I ask is that you don’t remove or move my credit, since I worked really hard on it and went through dozens of tutorials to make it look the way it does. If you spot any glitches or problems, please let me know and I will gladly fix it to my best ability. I’m still pretty amateur with coding, so be nice.

Please like or reblog this post if you intend to use my base code. It’s not a requirement but a nice thing to do (◡‿◡✿)

what is ONE THING you like about the way i play my character?

Hands knit together being brought up close to chapped frozen lips, a puff of hot air blown on them in an attempt to warm them up. Lann could use a fire spell to warm up, but his fingers feel so frozen and numb would they even be able to keep a grip on any Prismarium?

He lowers hands to arms, frost ridden fingertips gripping at equally cold arms. “D-d-dude, it’s s-s-s-so cold! I’m gonna freeze to death!” One might think he’s exaggerating since he did sometimes have the tendency to do so, but the numbness in his fingers and chattering of his teeth made him beg to differ! He can’t even feel his toes anymore, his boots soaked, and yet frozen from walking in the snow.

The cold still continued to nip at bare skin, but he’s so cold he can no longer feel that cold.

This was it…

He was gonna die out here…

It was a cold night. 

Scratch that, it was a freezing night. The kind of night your neighbors knocked on your door, desperate for warmth because their homes weren’t warm.

Elaine had helped her father scratch runes into various parts of the house, allowing their home to be warded, cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. Their fireplace didn’t require wood because of this.

But Gale wanted some sticks to “roast marshmallows” as he called it, so Elaine volunteered to go with him to the nearest tree to grab some. Where he’d gotten the fluffy white things, she didn’t know. Frankly, she didn’t want to know.

“Laney, I think that’s a person,” Gale said, breaking her out of her thoughts and making her look away from the tree they’d found. She followed his finger and frowned. Of course he can see in the dark better than I can. A moment and she began to glow. Her magic let out a sigh as she released her mental seals over it, and her light seeped through the cloth of her coat and gloves.

Gale was right; there was a person in the snow. “Quickly, Gale,” she gasped, carefully but quickly making her way over to the body, “go warn Momma and Daddy that someone needs help. It might be frostbite if we don’t hurry!”

Her baby brother scampered off, knowing the way, while she knelt down. It was a boy, probably a little younger than she was. “Hey,” she said, putting a hand on a shoulder, “can you hear me? Are you awake?”

Commission for @daybreakpath of her beautiful original character, Elaine Hinode! I had so much fun drawing her baby girl. God I love drawing her whenever I get the chance!

I’m so happy with how this turned out!!! I love how her eyes glow in your style! The purple looks perfect on her and it’s such a cute dress. Thanks so much my dear sweet Ko!! ♥️
