thank you so much for the well wishes and kind words!! I hope you continue to enjoy my translations as well💕

seph @sephallia.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

appreciate the sentiment and yeah things have looked bad for a while but it feels like it's only ever getting worse ;~; I'll just have to keep doing my best and hope I manage to find something to be able to tide myself over until I can hopefully also find something else🙏

I've been on a long job search with no luck. considering the job would either have to be in my area (somehow?) or offer remote this may be a shot in the dark.. but if anyone knows of opportunities, especially ones related to software or translation, please let me know🙏

thank you so much to all who've sent kind words and help! I feel so encouraged and overwhelmed, but the blunt truth is that I still need a lot of help. please keep sharing the post and if you can any amount would mean a lot ;~;

I feel like the world used to make sense. I can't callback to the specific point in time where I felt that changed, but it's been a long time and I don't know what to do about it.

After what feels like forever, I can proudly present Marshmallow Fables, a webcomic I have been developing since 2012! The entire prologue is up on Tumblr for everyone to read, so please take this opportunity to follow and come along with me on this journey! www.tumblr.com/marshmallowf...

The cover for Marshmallow Fables. It features Comet, Bijou, and Claire sitting around a fire in the forest. The Star Owl shoots across the sky above them, which is filled with stars.

seeing two man children responsible for so much anxiety and suffering in the world go through a public social media breakup is somehow at once, bring out the popcorn I can't take my eyes off the train wreck, and a huge trigger for existential dread that's been building up the past 10 or so years

I'll also be better equipped to help those around me, those I care about, and those who care for me. I always say this, and I am always trying.. there are times where it's easier or harder for me to do so.. but I'm going to keep doing my best💕

and I guess I just feel powerless to really do anything about it. but I think what I need to keep reminding myself to try and push through, is that even if I can't have some crazy effect on the world as a whole, it's still worth striving to better myself. if I can put myself in a better position,

150

but for the recent.. idk while now, it's been harder and harder for me to do so, and I think part of that is that the world and the future just feel a lot scarier. I'm not sure exactly when it happened but looking at current events it's just become a lot harder to believe in a better future

seph @sephallia.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

I think I'm at the point where I'm realizing that I need to put myself out there more and doing so will potentially help me build more confidence to keep doing so.. it's not like I've never put myself out there before, otherwise I wouldn't have ever taken up the ILTV WN translations originally..

I hope people who have access to the early/batch releases have enjoyed the chapter! for those still waiting, here's information on the free release. Ch. 5 of Turn around and Face Me! will be starting up 📆Apr 4, 2025 💕 sephalliblog.wordpress.com/2025/04/02/t...

Turn Around and Face Me! Ch. 5

Hello everyone! Once again, welcome back to Turn Around and Face Me! The early release has already begun on Inori-sensei’s Fanbox and Patreon. If you’ve read through the batch release, …

after hearing of the man's past hardships as well as his plans for the future, Lyrica is sold. she decides that she wants to invest too. while she lives in the palace she doesn't have her many personal assets so... she entrusts him with the silver coin she'd once placed all of her hopes in😭

Lyrica in tears after hearing of the man's hardships.

Lyrica decides to invest her one silver coin.

later, Lyrica's mother tells her that she's made an investment with a man. concerned that the man's conned her mother she hears that he's still on palace grounds and chases him down, demanding that he return the money. he, however, manages, to convince Lyrica to hear him out

A picture showing the man that Lyrica's mom made an investment with. He is rather handsome and dressed well, so Lyrica believes that he used his charms to scam her mother.

Lyrica decides that it's only fair that she at least hear his side of the story.

time passes and they're starting to settle into the palace. Lyrica's mother manages to find the exact silver coin and return it to her. compared to the extravagances of a life at the palace, a single silver coin might not be much.. but it's the coin Lyrica had anchored her hopes and dreams to

Lyrica's mother returns the exact silver coin.

Lyrica says that she can tell it's the exact coin because she'd never forget the stains and marks that were on the coin seeing as it was so precious to her.

the long short is, Lyrica refuses but after they go to bed, her mother steals her stash and disappears. Later on someone from the palace comes to pick Lyrica up, it seems that her mother succeeded in her gambit. time to fast forward because I've spent too long on context

Lyrica's mom asks her to trust her, just this once. She looks crazed.

A knight from the palace comes to pick Lyrica up.

her first step is to attend the ball. a task even the optimistic Lyrica sees as nonsense. they may be from a fallen noble family, but now they're poor and living in the slums. regardless, Lyrica's mother is convinced she'll be able to get in if she pieces together enough money to borrow a gown

Lyrica's mother is set on attending the imperial ball. The vibrant yellow and red hues used to emphasize the warmth Lyrica felt are now a dark purple and ghastly blue, highlighting the shift in her perception.

one day, her mother undergoes a complete transformation. we as readers find out that she's regressed from a horrible future, and is determined to correct her mistakes. she'll use the experiences and knowledge she's gained to protect Lyrica, no matter what it takes.

Lyrica's mother holds her, celebrating that Lyrica has "come back."

Lyrica's mother tells her that everything was her fault and how much she regrets it. That she realizes now just how precious Lyrica is.

Mother's Contract Marriage (manhwa) Lyrica lives in poverty with her abusive mother. things are tough, but she manages to keep them afloat. one day out of pity an affluent passerby tosses her a silver coin. she stashes it away and occasionally holds it tight dreaming of a better future

Lyrica dreams of a better future she'll use her silver coin to achieve.

idk, random idea but I'm gonna infrequently and spontaneously update this thread with moments in media I experience that I found so precious they make me cry to share these moments, but I also feel like it'd be good for me to be able to look back on them too. cuz uh, yeah spoilers!

my brain has decided to continue these thoughts and considering Rei & Claire (and co.) literally saved the world and Lene's business acumen there is ALMOST CERTAINLY in-world merch "my one-sided crush has merch of my mom." sure is a thought

there's no canon diagnosis, and I'm by no means qualified to do so but it does seem to be a possibility! thank you!! I'm glad you're enjoying it, I think I always get a little worried because I know people are sensitive to "changes" but do my best and try to explain my thought process too💕
