The constant jingle was surprisingly easy to get used to. In a way it became a part of him, alerting others of his presence, warning them, "shut your yaps! The Royal Fool is listening."

Not many cared about the warning, though. In their eyes, a jester without a tongue was as good as dead. He heard them whispering that the king should get someone actually entertaining more than once. None of them complained when he flipped out his lute, though. 

When his king sat alone on his throne, disinterested and weary, he'd lean down and shake the hat in his face.

The manufacturer just sent me a video for all 30 pins! Looks like I can only add one video to a post here on tumblr but all the pins look great!! We are now arranging shipping to the US and EU, and from there all orders will be shipped to you! ⚔️🌈

I estimate to receive the pins myself April 20, so you should receive it at the very end of April or beginning of May. I have to note though, that multiple people have warned me that shipping from the manufacturer to the US and EU could potentially be delayed due to the current uncertain economic environment. I will update you if this is the case!

Thank you all for your ongoing support!!

Stay proud!

The sun is hot, blisteringly so, and Eddie steps on the edge of the shovel again. Pushing down hard. Digging into the old red dirt that's hidden away under the sod. Twisting, taking another chunk out, before tossing it aside. He'd just gotten the grass looking green instead of brown, at the cost of effort and time, both of which are always in short supply. Now there's gonna be an eyesore of a trench cutting across the yard.

Figures.

Get one step ahead, only to get knocked three steps back. It's all Eddie's ever known.

There's definitely a stoppage, and the rural sewer district insists it's on their side, not the county's, which makes it Eddie's responsibility to fix. 

Wayne borrowed a hand crank snake from a friend at work, and they never even met resistance as they worked it down through the drain, as far as it'd go. The cleanout still running water out indicated the clog wasn't in the house, but somewhere else in the line, so they rented a hundred foot snake to run down the cleanout.

Sure that'd get it.

Still nothing.

Hiatus

Hey guys! Normally I give you guys more of a heads up about this sort of thing, but I'm tired you all. So tired.

Trying to get all the celebration fics done and barely hitting my daily goal of 400 words a day, I just don't have the juice to keep going at the moment.

So if you've been around for the previous hiatus periods, you know how this goes, if not and you're new, first off hi! Welcome!

Every few months I go through a period of burnout where I go from functioning write mode (1000-1400 words a day) to survival writer mode, so I take a break from posting. I still write, but without the added pressure of needing to stay on top of stories so you have something to read.

I know that if I was normal and just posted when I have a chapter sporadically like most authors do, I probably wouldn't have to take them as often as I do (three or four times a year usually) but I live in absolute fear that if I did that, people wouldn't see my stuff and it would get buried underneath the other more brilliant works of other steddie writers.

So from the 13th, until the end of April, I will just be focusing on writing and getting my backlog back up. With one notable exception.

You're a Dream to Me, the soulmate story. It is completely done and I getting it out of my backlog will be as beneficial as taking the time to rebuild the rest of the stories backlogged chapters.

So what is a good backlog for me, you ask? At least three chapters in reserve. I'm down to one in all except Dragon Slayer and Spellbound and I haven't been posting those because I'm currently in the middle of writer's block with them and with no chapters going into the backlog it doesn't make sense to drain them completely. (I did post Spellbound yesterday because that one is fully plotted, I just have to write the climax and ending.)

April Fools day here is always funny because my dash is full of “here’s a Rick roll but it’s actually a different song” “here’s ‘do you love the color of the sky’ just kidding! It’s not the full long post!” “Here’s a drawing I made of a kitty! Just kidding! It’s two kitties and they’re best friends” and we do this unironically and completely ignoring the blood lust we all experience every year just two weeks prior

Million Alpha March

Welcome to the start of the 1 million words celebration! We are going to have a blast this week!

Here's the schedule here.

Summary: Omegaverse (first story here.) Steve's alpha charity is celebrating helping their 1 millionth alpha world wide and they are doing an interview with famed journalist Nancy Wheeler, with their alpha Tiffany Wincott.

~

Steve was nervous for the first time in a really long time. Not since the birth of his daughter Elizabeth Robin had he been this nervous about something so monumental.

His alpha health charity, A+ Health and Rut Services was about to help its one millionth alpha. They currently had 116 clinics world wide and a dozen more set to open this year. But because they had so many open, technically they would have about a half dozen people who would hit that mark, so they screened all six of them and between the three they chose only one wanted to do the interviews and be the face of the charity.

It came with a lot of perks, too. Being interviewed with Steve and Eddie, their likeness used in promotional material for a year, free services at the clinics of their choice and if they wanted the use of the Starcourt Omegas if that’s what they wanted.

*REBLOGS FASTER THAN A DRAGON’S BURNING HEARTBEAT*

Decided to challenge myself to make a short animation, maybe 5-10 seconds long, every day for 2025.

Here's day 95!

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning "10,000 notes" in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.

I might have made an error here
