I think in 2025 I am going to focus on only reblogging people’s original posts who do the same for me.

I have been part of the kuro fandom since ~2018, and in that time have done my best to support as many people—both creators and not, as I could despite often having very little spoons—and feel like generally I have not been returned the favor.

I have reblogged sebaciel content to boost and support those creators, but they won’t reblog my non sc works even once.

I have reblogged many of my mutuals non kuro creations to support them, and have they reblogged my kuro or original works? No.

There are ~2-3 of you who have always supported me, and I am very grateful to you. But it’s sad that I have almost 2000 followers and can’t get more than ~3 unique reblogs on my posts.

So yes. I think starting today I am done. If people think this is needy and selfish they’re welcome to, but I am really fucking tired of putting effort into sharing content and I can’t even get a fucking reblog.

Fandom is supposed to be a community, not an exclusive “members only” club.

THIS SAID: if you have kuro creations you want reblogged you’re welcome to tag me/send them my way and I will try to comply when I am able… as I tend to miss things sometimes.

Beowulf died in my arms this morning. He’ll be missed 😢😭

He was not doing well recently and had stopped eating more or less. I knew he wouldn’t make the week, but he woke up in pain at 3am and I held him for a few hours. We tried to find a vet that was open at 7 to euthanize him, but no one would help us , so we ended up having to go back home to wait for our vet to open.

He passed while we were waiting. In my arms, how he would have wanted… I think he knew he was safe and it was OK to go.

😢😭

So yeah, shit is still hitting the fan over here so i probably won’t be around despite the anime sorry

So yeah, my mom had a small heart attack… it could have been a lot worse but I am pissed at the way the assisted living facility handled things…

She’ll need to have an outpatient procedure done in a couple weeks but the good news is it’s not urgent I guess…

I really don’t know since I’m playing a game of telephone with info basically….

I just…. I mean I guess it could have been a lot worse, but I haven’t spoken to her yet so Idk how she’s doing :/

We cannot catch a break this year.

Now my husband has covid, we have to replace our roof, and I probably will end up getting it too….

I’m really sorry I know the new anime is two weeks away but I just…. cannot right now. I am using all my spoons dealing with real life shit.

Thanks for understanding hopefully things will calm down and maybe i’ll luck out and not get sick 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@matchasilver ty for the ask :)

I… thought about this a lot yesterday bc I couldn’t remember when exactly I started shipping sebagni in earnest…. like sebard I know, but sebagni I genuinely can’t remember.

I know I had always planned to have a sebagni part of wdh, but that was before I really started shipping them…

I think it first started, as in my first sebagni au— with my mute sebastian story that never got off the ground. In it, I was going to have Sebastian be mute due to a throat/nerve injury he got from an abusive ex, so he uses ASL (sign language) as one of his main forms of communication. I knew I wanted the love interest to be a CODA (child of Deaf adult) and be an interpreter, and I realized Agni would fit the part perfectly.

But then I sorta put sebagni down for the most part and focused on sebard largely, and didn’t look at the ship as much until I got sicker. Agni is such a caring character— like you said, he’s the one who teaches Seb how to care for Ciel (properly, when he’s sick), and what he says really makes an impact. Seb treats Ciel very differently in GWA, for example, than he does in the circus arc, and I think it’s bc he’s taken what Agni and Tanaka have said to heart— bc he wants to be a good butler etc etc but I digress…

So yeah, I always loved the idea of Agni taking care of Sebastian, and then when I got even sicker the last couple years and Synch began to form, I became even more attached.

And now my fave kuro ship is definitely sebardagni. A shame I am literally the only one who likes it, lol.

people who aren’t in pain all the time don’t understand how much being in constant pain makes it so much harder to do everything… bc pain is so draining and it takes so much more energy/effort to push through it to do anything

so if you have chronic pain and manage to do anything at all today i am proud of you ✨✨

sometimes even just getting out of bed deserves a good star 🌟

welp to be fair, Scarlet Hollow is only like 5% a dating sim, it's mainly a horror visual novel about life in a small Appalachian mountain town (and the family ties that bind you as the player to the town).

although it's still in early access (4 episodes released out of 7 in total) it's one of my favorite games of the past couple of years, for what it's worth. If you're tired of branching narratives not having enough meaningful paths, you should try it out. It's insanely reactive and choices matter SO much. and I love all of the characters so much, they're so well-rounded and charming.

cannot and will not stop singing its praises. PLAY SCARLET HOLLOW NOW 📢‼️

remember this?? it’s coming SOOON:

I checked in with the company yesterday and this was what they said:

“For Sebastian, it is not released yet and may be released at the end of March or at the beginning of April. Kindly wait for our shipping email when it is ready to ship, thanks for your patience.”

So if you only paid the deposit, you should start making sure you’ll have the funds to pay off the rest and the shipping within the next month.

Just thought I would share!
