This is another one of those days when I thought the music was more a vibe than related to what I'm actually writing. And then a song plays a second time, and I go: Oooooh. Okay, that's what we're doing. Got it. Also, it's Rina's time to shine. Just sayin. music.youtube.com/watch?v=1ORs...

Okay, so finished the main story update. I'll leave impressions for later, because right now only one thing matters. *Slight spoiler alert* It's confirmed that Manato is a legal adult (approximately 19 to be more specific.) Let the fanfiction/fanart/miscellaneous related smut commence.

Of course it's when my younger kid is home for the week that the muses are like, "Oh btw, we're ready to work now!" Screw the muses for real, but... both kids are sleeping now, so. music.youtube.com/watch?v=MMfp...

Ya'll, the fact that #zzz just dripped an S-rank fire rupture and gave us this trailer for Manato in the same 24 hour period is diabolical work. I will be the ultimate husband collector, trust. youtu.be/CQBbCfxIgnY?...

The moment I thought the muses insisted on me working on 2 fics at the same time. Me: I have 2 hands and maybe 2 brain cells to spare right now. Muses: Clearly, since you haven't realized these are two parts of THE SAME FUCKING STORY. Me: ... Muses: See it now? Me: Fuck off, seriously.

Clearly my muses' impatient asses REFUSE to move until I get at least my final outline for IAF Part 3 out of my brain. Also, I think for Part 3: Our Past, Present, and Forever (working title btw), I may really need a beta reader. If anyone's interested, shoot me a DM. ❤️ youtu.be/8SZNFFcn1v0?...

Three different documents open right now. I have no clue which one is going to get words first, but at least one of them is getting worked on. #Interlude youtu.be/aezstCBHOPQ?...

Someone wrote a #Lycabelle fic (and is planning a short series) inspired by the It's All Fun series. I've been given way more love than I deserve on my stories, really, but this was one of the greatest compliments of all. I'm completely floored, it's so good! archiveofourown.org/works/690092...

So... yeah, there's this. #Interlude #lycabellefanfic archiveofourown.org/works/70668366

Bruh. #ZZZ gotta quit taking characters that I have no interest in pulling and attaching them to Phaethon's lore. Seriously. Ya'll making me scrape the internet for trust event videos up in here, and ain't nobody got time for that shit. 🤦‍♀️

Well, I can say confidently now that I'm quite happy to not pull on the #zzz 2.2 banner. Time to stockpile for Manato. *cough* I meant Lucia and Yidhari. They're totally the main reason I'll be pulling. 100% 😜

Okay I have two (hopefully) uninterrupted days off to write. Wish me luck. #Interlude youtu.be/b9zWIY7X2fI?...

Seriously #zzz, was that so damn hard? youtu.be/NNx2Fy7S5y4?...

Okay, my schedule might be ass-backwards right now, but at least it's giving me a little more time to write. Thank God. These muses are trying to tear through my skull, istfg. #Interlude youtu.be/vk_xq1P7vIU?...

I hope ya'll that read and enjoyed When Instinct Meets Its Fate loved Inari as much as I do, but my OC gets some serious screen time this go around. If you don't fuck with my girl Inari, you may wanna skip this one when it goes up. #Interlude #zzzfanfic #Lycabellefanfic youtu.be/X-yIEMduRXk?...

So I have a little time to catch up on stuff in #zzz, and I noticed there was some "talk" (aka bitching) in some spaces about players (like me) that are disappointed about no Manato announcement. Some players are all about their damn waifus; I'm all about my thirens/male toons. 🤬 Sorry, not sorry.

@delysart.bsky.social has 2 fan comics available, and both are worth getting if you're a #lycabelle fan. 😍

I promise, even with the insane schedule on my current work project and my disappointment with the 2.2 banners (or my disappointment with who's missing from said banner schedule), I am *trying* to do some writing. It's been a slog, ngl. youtu.be/MF9YAA_0EhQ?...

I would be remiss if today's playlist didn't start with Ozzy. RIP. youtu.be/mX_8p7NaibQ?...

*clears throat* Um... #ZZZ, I'm trying to be nice and patient and all that mature shit (even though ya'll just screwed me on yet another 50/50 for Yuzu's M1 AND a 75/25 in a single patch.) However, I have a bigger issue. Where. The. Fuck is our 2.2 drip marketing?!?!

I just realized with this new project weighing me down, I haven't posted my spoiler-free thoughts about #zzz 2.1 yet. Here goes: Damn near perfect. That's basically it.

IT'S COMING! My new #lycabelle fancomic, "The First Colors", will be available on my KO-FI shop on MONDAY evening (ita time) Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/delys_art #ライリン #vonlycaon #lycaon #belle #bellezzzero #au #zzzero #zenlesszonezero #fancomic #kofi

Clearly my story did not go up this weekend. Thank you, sudden work project dropped on me out of nowhere. 😩 At least it pays really well. Since I have to keep the lights on (also my kid's dialysis bill is insane, but it's my kid so 🤷‍♀️), I'll be working on its final rework around this contract. Bleh.

I do love how #ZZZ always sprinkles extra codes in the livestreams. It will make my Yuzuha pulls (and Mibibi on the ftp account) much less painful. So for anyone that plays #zenlesszonezero and didn't catch them, they're: SPOOKSHACK ZZZTHANK ZZZYOU ZZZFOR ZZZSTAYING ZZZWITHUS Good luck to all!

Ugh. I hate to admit it but... My muses might have been right this time. Little bastards. youtu.be/FM7MFYoylVs?...

The muses and I have come to an agreement. They let me sleep for more than four hours. I let them tear up and rebuild this goddamn story one last time. So long as life cooperates and they hold up their end of this bargain, the new #Interlude story will be up this weekend. youtu.be/8UNV4AlWB08?...

Well, this #Interlude story I'm fighting to finish up is NOT sticking to the plan my muses and I agreed to originally. I'm almost at the point of hiding my keyboard from myself again, just so I stop deleting and rewriting big chunks of the damn thing. 😭 youtu.be/daSX_3hadlA?...

Taking a break to watch two of my favorite creators. The roast will be epic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8kZ...

Last time it was, "Okay, we're finishing up X story," and the muses laughed in my face and said, "Naw bitch, we doing Y instead." So I hesitate to speculate this time. One could go up VERY soon, except it would be a part 1 of 2. In a planned series of ONE-SHOTS. 🤦‍♀️ youtu.be/Z1ml66sff24?...

For all the #zzz folks: May all Ju Fufu wanters be Ju Fufu havers! 🙏 #zenlesszonezero #JuFufuDay #ShesaTigerNotaKitty

Question: how much #Lycabelle smut is too much? Asking for a muse... 🫣 youtu.be/_2PCtLXWdbY?...

I wish Ao3 would let me reply to comments through the inbox without creating a separate comment. Since it shows the comment count on my story summaries, I feel bad that those numbers are inflated because I respond to everyone. But each comment is important to me, so I'm not NOT gonna respond. 😔

Holy crap, when did the It's All Fun Series fics break 8k hits? 😱 🤯😭 BOTH OF THEM! Thanks to all my fellow #lycabelle writers, artists, and of course the readers that are helping maintain the 🐺🔔 agenda during the current drought. ❤️❤️❤️ Now back to grindstone for me 😘 youtu.be/QJdcbYnf7oE?...

My muses are smutlords who woke me out of a dead sleep yesterday and decided I would finish and post this plotless thing first. That's my way of warning you that if you're looking for quality, this ain't gonna be the one. #Interlude #lycabelle #fanfic #zzzfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/66784720

Six different #Interlude stories, and of course it's the second-to-last (based on timeline) that'll almost certainly go up first. Why are my muses like this? istfg... 😩 youtu.be/iquhBgM-Qv0?...

Well, my Prologue one-shot fic now has a new series home, so if anyone is subbed on Ao3 or has it bookmarked and you got an alert, that's what it was. But no worries, it won't be lonely for long. 🐺🔔 #Interlude #lycabelle #fanfic #zzzfanfic archiveofourown.org/series/4896781

This weekend, maybe? I'm thinking this weekend. #Interlude #Lycabelle #fanfiction #zzzfanfic youtu.be/74yb9E3WY1I?...

Anyone watch the OG 14 episode version of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime? That's how Interlude is coming along in relation to the linear timeline it follows. Which is to say: it doesn't. I'd intended it to be some kind of order, but... muses vetoed. youtu.be/qC81xZHY7mc?...

I have max leveled my temple, run the story through both accounts (my new gripe is not being able to replay the 2.0 story through the archive), and I have many suspicions about where #zzz 2.x is headed. Methinks it's time to get back to my #lycabelle stories. youtu.be/Y1QAMCYmAcY?...

@anubisf0x.bsky.social Small spoiler, forgive me. I need someone to share my pain. This game, istfg...

1/3 Okay. So quick, no-spoiler first impressions of #ZZZ 2.0 story. Pros: Holy foreshadowing, Batman! Makes my writer heart happy. The workbench is my best friend right now. However how they did it will appeal to lore-heads like me, but will probably fall flat to casuals. Unfortunate.

Seriously #zzz, you gonna give me S11 on my first try after 80 pulls and now this? You can't make this shit up.

So apparently I have a small group of folks who have discovered It's All Fun... on Fanfiction.net even though I only posted the first chapter there and gave up (because they're painful to submit to), so I guess I'll put it up there too now. XD

Probably one of my favorite music releases so far this year and a great writing vibe. youtu.be/qs5y7-bWr7E?...

I'm not even posting a WIP anymore, and the stop and start of working on #Interlude still has me banging my head against my desk. 😭 I need real life and my muses to give me a break and just let me write. Both have been way too demanding lately. youtu.be/gmJQvCS1T3c?...

I'm just leaving this here, because these trust events on Hugo are hilarious.

I've decided that the #zzz 1.6 story happened, but the Lycaon/Hugo backstory didn't. Now that I've not only rewatched several times, but I've also played completely through it again, yeah... It was worse than I originally thought, especially in comparison. But 1.7 saved it, so I'm ok.

I finally got my kid to play #ZZZ, so I made a new ftp account so we could do the beginning at the same time (plus I was curious about the "optimizations" they made.) I just got to Chapter Three, and I had to switch to Japanese audio. I know it's not the VAs fault, but I can't with the new ones.

(Event spoiler) For my #zzz folks... Why did the devs just make me take an order from Robin to create a flower arrangement for Butlerboo? They ain't even trying to be subtle now, damn. Ya'll know the fanfic in that category is about to go nuts. 🤣

So. I mentioned in one of my scattered 1.6 rants that I predicted some prop work would happen in 1.7, but I really hoped I would be wrong. Nope. 😩😔🤦‍♀️ (Btw, spoilers if you haven't played it yet, but ZZZ put the shit up on YT, so....) youtu.be/JP3Fn9dJGMg?...
