Apparently, I messed up Twilight’s chin in that last update.

Even though I’ve draw chins like that for many months now????

A fact that often slips by is that Cactus not only is one of the greatest artists that I’ve had the pleasure to meet in the year that I’ve been on Tumblr, but also one of the greatest persons. He’s kind, he cares a lot about his friends, he’s funny and he’s found the perfect way to be modest about his work without being self-deprecating. He works hard on his stories and although he had (and has) to deal with a lot of shit in his life, he doesn’t let any of it acerbate him. Anyone who tries to give him a hard time or put stress on him for not fulfilling their every wish can go eat a prickly dick.

Please excuse me as I cry tears of joy and explode multiple times.

AAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEI!!!! *A*

SHE’S ADORABLE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

You know, you kinda did this to yourself with the RC thing... When you build up drama like that and then leave it hanging, that's a pretty dick move- its equivalent to throwing a punch at someone and then stopping at the last second. You're just ASKING for people to get pissed at you, and then saying you don't even really care about the story and that you wanna abandon it in favor of other projects is pretty much the biggest F U an author can give to their readers...

Right right. I TOTALLY intended to burn myself out. I TOTALLY didn’t force myself to update at a frequency I never achieved before, just so I can meet a deadline and at the same time, get you guys a story you deserve. It’s all MY fault that all that working and scheduling has caused my motivation to die right when I need it most. And I’d TOTALLY ditch the story right this second because I don’t care about the audience because I’m a dick. I’m a dick robot that should be able work non-stop without tiring out and must take orders for special anons like you!

Now that the sarcasm is over, I must take admire how much of a mindless fuck you are. Haha! Claiming that I don’t care about the story when 6 full acts are planned! Claiming that I’m going to ditch the story completely when I said that I was going to take a break AFTER the crossover! What a laugh!

Go to a mirror, punch it (without stopping at the last second), pick up a shard, and ram it up your ass.

Aaaand for the first time ever, I’ve shut off anonymous questions.

Apologies to those anons who meant no harm.

Question for you, Cacts: Do you make your blogs because you want to tell a story, because you want to entertain people, because you want to see your ideas come to life, or some other reason I haven't thought of?

It’s pretty much all of the above.

Long ago, I was desperate to get PC’s predecessor out the door for others to see. I wanted to tell a story as best as I could. The predecessor failed to gain ground, but I stubbornly refused to let the idea die completely. And Post Crusade was born.

Diaries was born out of my desire to world-build, and for those ideas to play out in a story.

And of course, no story is effective if there isn’t some element of entertainment.

So yeah. I want to tell an entertaining story that both brings out my ideas, and for the audience to enjoy as well.
