⭒ / also, since wattpad dms are no longer a thing, feel free to reach out to me on discord at @/viendettas ! (and if you have any books/projects you want me to check out while i've been away, since the notifications have all been lost to wattpad void, feel free to let me know on discord or under this announcement <3)
⭒ / i come back to wattpad after like two months and there's no more direct messages? literally what. but anyway, your (not so regular) update on how i've been!
— i've been in a very bad depressive episode the past few weeks, to the point of where all the people in the uni special consideration department probably know me by name. i've got a lot of overdue assignments and upcoming assignments to work on (which, of course, means i'm probably gonna end up writing). my doctor has recently upped my antidepressant so hopefully that ends up helping with my symptoms.
— these past weeks have also been really busy for me! aside from uni and work i was in a play (a queer modern retelling of macbeth, where i played one of the witches!) and my netball season finished up for the semester, and i've started playing dnd.
— my new job (which i've been at for about two months now) has been going amazingly! i now work with kids and it's so much more fulfilling than hospo. and also somehow preschool kids are better to deal with than customers. . .
i know i always come back with these incredible plans of what i want to do and then never actually Do those things, but guess what? i'm doing it anyway. my main plan is to tackle fortune favours, because tina novikova has consumed my brain. i'm taking it down for a makeover, and then it'll be back up once i've figured everything out. i realised that i wasn't actually all that happy with the plot how it was, and i'm going to take both the plot and the story themes in some different directions, inspired by tarot, my ancient history classes, and the macbeth play i was in >:)
i think fortune favours is going to be my main project for the moment, and then when i've exhausted everything i can for tina i'll move onto nocturne. ghosts above is just going to kind of sit there for a while, unless i procrastinate working on FF/nocturne to work on it—which, very strong possibility.
anyway, that's all from me for the moment. cheers y'all <3
@viendettas Wattpad deleted DMS at may 6 because there's some creeps in dms now we will suffer all
⭒ / graduated from being an angsty teenager, i am now a disaster adult !
⭒ / time for your regularly scheduled update on where i've been:
march was not a very kind month to me. i lost my job, then got a new job, and then proceeded to get covid the literal next day, and those are just the highlights. everything in my life kind of worked together to just obliterate me and my already horrid mental health, and i ended up having a nasty couple of episodes. my bank account is Very Low and my motivation and energy moreso, but i'm trying to do things i enjoy like writing, reading and making graphics to help drag me out of my slump.
every time i come on here to drop a life update i always say that i'm going to try and be more active, and again: in the next few weeks, i'm going to try and be more active. i wanna make more covers in particular (so if you're looking for any, check out my cover lotto white noise!) and i also wanna actually write some chapters. i have the bare bones of the nocturne prologue written, i just need to edit it and connect some of the disjointed snippets. i also want to make april, my birth month and jason todd's death month, the month where i finally revamp fortune favours and make it into something i'm a little more proud of.
i hope all of you have had a good easter if you celebrate, and a good march otherwise. love you all <33
aw such a bummer time for you right now :( i'm here if you ever need to talk or just to ramble ideas to help with anything, i'm your man!! hope you make april your bitch!! <3 looking forward to seeing everything new from you :))
⭒ / from your resident ancient history major, happy ides of march :)
⭒ / publishing a cover lotto may not count to my two chapters in february goal, but given that february is almost over and i have pretty much nothing else written, i'm going to take what i can get :) anyway!! check it out, request some graphics, etc

⭒ / i have a presentation to research, write and record for class. so of course, i spent the whole night working on a chapter for ghosts above.
i'm the worst student ever and i will never change that

⭒ / the obligatory little life update that no one asked for:
summer tutoring came and went, and then immediately the next week my summer class started. between that, me trying to get a social life going, my piss poor mental health and possibly losing my job, it seems the world is against me ever writing anything. i have all these threads and snippets but i can't seem to weave them together into something i actually like. (and speaking of things i actually like—eventually i will revamp fortune favours into something worthwhile).
i'm hoping in the next few weeks to at least be a little more active. my current goal is to post two chapters in february (riveting, i know). i also want to work on a graphic lotto in the background—one of my main obstacles is that i don't have enough cover examples, so if you're looking for a cover hit up my dms.
as for the chapters, my current plan is to actually write something for nocturne, and then the first chapter of ghosts above, though there's a strong chance that that isn't what ends up happening. when have any of my plans ever actually gone through?
anyway. love yourself, love those around you. i'll be here, as usual, rotting away in the background. <3
⭒ / in case you missed it—i published a spiderverse fic last night! hype it up so that i get motivated to actually write something for it :))

⭒ / got a spider tattoo earlier this week and it motivated me to finally finish the synopsis for my spiderverse fic, so here you go!! no prologue yet (my duties at summer school are kicking my ass) but if i sit on this any longer i'll explode.
