Heyo, everyone!

I’ll make this short. Effective immediately, Ellie, Maverick, Mako, Archer, B.J Blazkowicz, Kuvira, and Connor Kenway are all being deleted, and Voodoo will be retired once Cam and I finish threading out his Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, at which point he’ll kick the bucket (in what will hopefully be one badass read). To those wanting to pick them up, you’re in luck! Happy threading.

The whys behind this would take up tons of back room space, and, quite frankly, are irrelevant. The TL;DR version is that over the past year or so, my interests have shifted quite drastically (ask me about amateur bodybuilding!), and Milliways has lost much of its allure to me - I simply can’t justify the time I spend here to myself. There’s also the fact that my writing style has changed significantly since I first came here (I was only 17 when I first threw Voodoo in!). My teen self simply saddled too much baggage and headcanons (that was/were frankly quite OOC) onto my favorite characters, and now that I’m older all that baggage seems like so much melodrama and shitty writing that only a complete reboot could take care of - and, to be completely honest: at this point, I’d have to start getting paid to care that much.

I’ll still be on Dreamwidth, and I’ll still keep all the associated character accounts up and running, and could quite possibly be talked into small-scale RP in the future, but I don’t think I’ll be back here anytime soon.

See you, space cowboy!

Happy Thursday, all, and Happy Thanksgiving where applicable! So, on that subject...

Your character has to gather people for a party. If they could grab anyone at all--I mean anyone, absolutely including actual canon friends of theirs, but also we're talking politicians, dead people, Milliways friends, movie stars, characters that are fictional to them--who would they bring together for the occasion? Are they thinking "cosy times with family and friends" or are they more the "this is my big chance to get Captain Amazingest Superhero's autograph and ask what her favorite book is" type?

Or do they just want to set up drama and see it unfold? Because I'm just saying, Spider-Man, Doc Ock, Namor, J. Jonah Jameson, and Aunt May would be fun at Thanksgiving, and it's not even my fandom.

Happy Thanksgiving, I'm so grateful to have Milliways in my life with its combination of friends, creativity and generosity. At the moment, I'm in the midst of baking parker house rolls for the first time as I wait for the rest of my family to descend for the feast so I'll keep the shout outs simple. Instead I want to know what you've finished, loved and what character interactions are you most grateful for this year.

Yesterday's DE that was as Gen put it like a month of DE's rolled into one. I loved how other people chose the questions they wanted you to answer and I'm still working on mine.

Amethyst arrives!

Arabella gets ready to leave, I love this interpretation of how her being in Faerie would work with Milliways.

Have a lovely day.
