That's a little on the nose, don'cha think? Pft, heh. Yes, I'm still miserable, yes still in flareup, and the heat is atrocious in my room, but pointing a fan at me blows dust up my nasal passages which effs them up Life is pain X's, anyone who says differently is selling something

Your Result:
Dead/Going To Die
You're just a little too likable to live. From the moment you were introduced, we all knew you were a goner, no matter how many wanted to keep you. You are the subject of so, so, so many fix-it fics written by crying fans who just want their blorbo back, but you're still dead in cannon.

I want to represent the misbegotten& forgotten I want to carve out a safe place in fantasy lit spaces for those intersectionally marginalized people that I know exist I want my success in the face of adversity, my trauma& its handling, to help others, where I wasn't helped I want you all to be happy

Your Result:
Grief
You create from grief. It is an endless grief that pours out of your eyes and mouth and fingertips over and over again; a grief too vast to be contained. It demands an outlet, and so for you the act of creation is much like weeping. Your work is a memorial to everything you have loved and lost, all you have longed for and been denied. Much like crying, pouring your grief out into your art brings you relief. The feeling of loss pervades your work, but the depth of your grief also speaks to the depth of the love that preceded it. After all, every tragedy is only what it is because someone had loved something enough to grieve it.

Digimon forever! The characterization of partners as their own people/characters is the absolute best There's this sort of vibe like, Even if there is some sort of "destined/fated partner" waiting out there for you to meet... you still have to treat them well, or things are gonna go horribly

Yeah, that's pretty fair I think once things get to the point of emulators+roms being easy to find, and one other thing happening, that qualifies as old or retro in one form or another

#NewChapter of #AAoMM up, my #Free #Webnovel series over on RoyalRoad, ~7K pages to binge for new #Readers I'd be stoked if you'd like, share, follow, if Reggie's journey resonates with you Strong bonds of found-family amidst endlessly dire odds, through the eyes of a neurodivergent narrator w/ PTSD

Though, there is the little problem of his Dragonforce-infused Latent. What if it saps all kinetic energy in the area instantly? If he engages it the instant he feels the tiniest hint of a pressure wave from the explosion, could he completely nullify it? Are his reflexes good enough? Is it completely automatic? We don’t have enough information that I’d be willing to drop a nuke into his lap that he could possibly freeze even before it detonates, as it’s falling. Because then he could throw it back at us to let it detonate in our laps.

Also, sure, we might not be talking actual nuclear fission, because who knows what sort of magical approximation Nala and Littlebit might come up with. But that’s hardly the point. The point is, we’d be putting our cards on the table, going all in, with whatever they could concoct. I’m almost ready to suggest abandoning the line of thought, when Littlebit squeaks, which catches me offguard.

After literally years of work(and much more intense work while bedridden these last 2 months) to hone a style and get my editing skills to be a bit better, I finally have consistent stylization, titling, lettering, coloring, etc, for my webnovel covers, including my #Digimon #Fanfic, AIBLTMADCB Woot

Covers for
Guileful Goblins Unleashed: Silly Shenanigans
An Age of Perilous Prologues
An Age of Mysterious Memories Volumes 1-6
At Its Bleakest, Life Threw Me A Digital Curveball
They each follow the orange+teal popping aesthetic for poster art, in a vaguely comic style, with generally solid outlining

Anyone out there want to weigh in on which version is best? Also, how'd my title cover for volume 6 turn out? What's it read like to you? (Remember, Reggie's a shapeshifter, there's a reason they look different)

"An Age of Mysterious Memories Volume 6: Onyx Dawn"
The title image depicts Reggie, with their Honoris Causa manifested(a spiritual dragon form) staring sadly down at the ring on a claw of an immense black dragon, likely Kinzul, leader of the Onyx Dawn. She appears resting, or possibly dead.
