-I am back home dealing with family for the week, and while part of me is happy to be home with the fact I'm able to help take care of my mom and just get a break from work, I just have to also deal with my sister and the massive fits she has for any and every little thing we do wrong. I can't touch the dishwasher because I don't know if it's clean or dirty and then she goes off about not putting anything in the dishwasher and "leaving her a mess". I go to get a half-pound of salads and she goes off claiming she wanted a full pound when mom said we had to save money since she was the one paying for it. It can't just be one way or the other, can it; plus considering I never know anything and try to adjust, it's still never enough.


-Sometimes I want to write a story with a bit more depressing edge and I think I have a right to do it. I still like making the girl sexy or cute, but at the same time I just like the idea that not everything is within their control and not every girl wants to be a freak like I like them and that there are those who just react in a different sort of manner.


-The only good thing about being home is how much I'm able to get done with a lot of the other projects. Been breezing through the 1942 content of my WB animation watch today and that helps since the more I get done, the more that will be done before my vacation; and that I consider a plus.

-Yeah, obviously today is today. I still feel ashamed by the bridges I burned that I still had up from last year but I'm happy for those of who that still reach out and care about me. It really does mean a lot even if I haven't said as much as of late; it's just been tough with the job and all the projects going on to really reach out as I had been. Being busy at least is a good thing, but it's also a bad one; and I'm just trying to work out which it really more beneficial. The one thing I learned this year is living longer is good if other people live longer alongside you considering the losses...and those who live that just seem to hate everything I like or that I stand for. I'm grateful for those who help me get through the bad times and fight for what really matters in a world that seems so callous and hateful all the time nowadays.


-In good news, I'm actually nearly wrapping up the "Frankenweenie" review; meaning I can start putting up (after some modifications) the "Brave" review that came before it. And then...I can finally get back to actually talking WDAS movies (mostly a good thing cause I've been wanting to do "Wreck-It Ralph" for a long time now...and obviously after that we got "Quinn's ultimate torment" but...let's do Wreck-It Ralph before the movie after and the obvious icy hell Ms. Daniels is about to go through)


Quinn: Don't push me, Ataru!


Hydie: (in box, with her Anna cosplay on a mannequin) I so hope she's able to get through this without any problems.


-The bad news about today: I can't take off since...sadly, I have to do a collab day at work and as a supervisor, I'm pretty much demanded to be there for my unit. But...I am taking all next week off with all the leave I have collected so that's at least a good thing. Surprised it's taken me this long but at least I can finally breathe a bit better than I had been in the past.

A Fair Warning

1 min read

I know a lot of people are trying to say it now but I need to get this out of the way:


My birthday is Wednesday. It is on March 20th.


If you want to say anything beforehand it's fine but if you think it's today or tomorrow or anytime prior, you're early.


Another fair warning: considering how many bridges I've burned and how I'm on the outskirts of so many fandoms anymore, I'm not expecting anything to happen Wednesday. If anything does, it does. If not...oh well.


Trust me, after last year and how those who actually wanted to celebrate with me then now want nothing to do with me now (plus how I have to work due to some stuff there, I'm taking the week after that off instead), I am not expecting much if anything anymore. Everyone else has their priorities, and I'm probably extremely low if non-existent to them.


That is all.

-I really hate having things that just bug me all the time when I'm not doing anything; especially medical issues. Been bothered for a few days by this gash in the soft part of my mouth behind my cheek; makes it harder to eat and brush my teeth and been treating it with asprin though do wonder how effective it's been.


-Nearly done with this rough patch of time and just need to get through one more bit of overtime before I have a week of work and...well, I actually get some time off. Well...sort of..taking a week from work cause I have the time but going back to Philly and that means family time instead of me time but...at least I still get more time to relax so...that's probably a plus?


-And whether or not I mentioned it before, I'll say it now: I have my 2024 vacation set for the second-half of June. Going back to Canada and if anyone in Toronto (or even stranger, St. Johns, Newfoundland) wants to meet up with me...the options' always open I suppose.

When I started on Deviantart many years ago, I was known for a few characters. One of which was an average teenager who had issues due to mutating with a genetic condition that turned her from a normal girl into a hulking behemoth.


That girl was Layla Kira Richardson. She was one of my earliest "stars", long before the likes of Quinn or Tomoko or many of the others who came after.


She was also a teenager, under the age of 18.


Deviantart took down a pic of either her or one of her similar characters (Momo Yamashiro, who has the same problem) just now due to their violations associated with depictions of characters under 18. I can't remember what the pic was like but considering things and their prudish nature, I am probably going to start taking down any pics associated with Layla, Momo or the GAPAS phenomenon in the near future.


I won't be taking the stories down but considering how they're ancient history, I probably should...but at the same time, unlike other characters of mine, I never intended them to be 18+; but since then all my girls have been or are intended to be 18+ and thus should not have the same issues.


I know there are Layla fans from way back, but...I guess either I reboot her as an 18+ year old character...or I just remove her completely. She wasn't bad, the whole point was to tell a story about muscle growth of an ordinary girl where it just happens...but in all this time, there are so many others who do it and do it way better that I can't say she or Momo or others like her are even needed anymore.


It's a shame it's come to this but...I'll give you all a bit of time before I clear her out, I suppose. But once she's gone...I can't say she'll come back. I guess with how I've changed, it's tough to really just create...a simple muscle girl living her life while dealing with growth issues.


(Besides, I did that epilogue tale so...that probably is where she ended up)
