Perversions - Comms Open!

And Caritas Vera (both the main and misc stories) took up half of that. I don't know what possessed me. SOMETHING did. I think that vacation I took in August to visit my friend helped a lot. It refreshed me and I needed that.

I'm a bit behind on this thread. Why? Because I apparently didn't write jack shit for the girls in July. I'm sure if I scour bsky for my messages, I'll see the reason as to why. But y'know what? That's okay. Because I wrote 40k in the month of September.

Making no progress on this today. $100/$350 still and it’s due Wednesday

Due to the sensitive topics (ie. sexual assault and a few other things), I want to be careful and respectful to them. Caritas Vera will take me years but it's not something I'm upset or even frustrated about. I know the kind of story I want to tell.

AND I'M GONNA DO IT RIGHT. 😤

Mind you, I always planned on doing research for many parts of my story. But I wanted to at least get the bare bones of if out of the way. Then when I did my multiple edits/rewrites, make the changes that need to be done. This isn't a story that will be finished in one or two years.

It's been fun exploring her life and personality before she met her husband. How she struggled with the major her family picked for her, how she wants to pursue art, etc etc. It has also forced me to do some early research on certain things.

I almost feel like I've given up on the actual writing thread for Caritas Vera, but since I don't do much on this account (laziness), I think it's obvious when I'm talking about it lol

But I have today and tomorrow to keep writing about this story, and I've been having fun writing about Mia's mom.

I rarely get affected by the AO3 blackouts because whenever they're down, I'm usually working or sleeping. Sometimes I wake up to see panics about it being down and I'm like ???

I sent in my own comment, I recommend others do so as well. I joined bluesky to follow other artists and showcase my work. If i decide to dabble into miniatures that depict nudity, or continue to work with miniatures that depict violence/war, I'd also potentially be in violation of the new policy.

I've been making mood boards for the important characters for my story and holy shit. It helped SO MUCH with Mia's mother and brother. Like, her brother is still in high school. I didn't have much for him. BUT HE'S A NERD WHO LIKES PARKOUR AND PLAYING THE BASS. I LOVE HIM.

I LOVE CATS THAT DO THAT. They're such babies! 🥹

Mogu, your face looks very kissable. 👉👈

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite

EVEN SAI IS THREE LETTERS LMFAO

I've come up with an unfortunate conclusion that...Mia and her family have three letter names...OH FUCKING NO. I GOTTA FIX THAT LOL

I'll take my victories where I can take them!

I'm not disappointed in the progress I made in Caritas Vera this month. Since I worked from home this week, I managed to hit 2k quite a few times. I'm also telling myself that this is not a linear journey. Writing a book isn't linear at all and it'll take me YEARS to finish this story.

Maybe I'll write more about them. Like, write something about Mia's mom before she meets her husband or Sai's life before they met Mia. They have their own tragic backstory, but I never fleshed it out properly.

I know I spoke about her parents a bit here, but I really need to cement and make things more concrete. I need to 100% make sure I understand some things about them all, Sai included. I feel like Mia and Nymphara are pretty solidified but even they will have some moments I wanna change.

I think I'm actually now at the stage of Caritas Vera where I have to step back and understand the characters a bit more. Like, Mia's parents have names and so does her therapist, but I KEEP CALLING THEM BY DAD, MOM, AND THERAPIST. I'll need to get a sticky note to write their names for reference.

I'm rewatching some movies and right now I'm watching Stranger than Fiction. I've always liked it, but now that I'm older, I can look at it with a different perspective.

Don't ask me the perspective. I'm doing my best.

Don't ask me how I wrote 2k for Caritas Vera yesterday. I don't know what came over me. It's definitely just some dumb stuff and not coherent BUT HEY, THAT'S WHAT THE EDITING STAGE IS FOR.

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.

I ALREADY AM!! 😤
