Guess who's not, in fact, dead!

What's this? An update? From me??

...it's exactly as likely as you'd think, seeing how I've Vanishethed for months again, so... not very.

I promised a short break and a Quirk! and then I! dropped off the face of the earth! sadly not literally, that would be exciting! in what is an unfortunate trend for me! 

Since I've been absent for a while without explanation (which, I have to say, is completely in character, I thought I'd answer some questions which no one has asked but you're probably thinking: 

- Um. What have you been doing?

 

I have been sitting at the entrance to the halls of knowledge. Judging people.

(...work. I work in a library.) 

((I do not actually judge people. Usually. Unless you leave a chewed-on toothpick in your book when you return it.))

I recently became a full-time library assistant, after only a year of casual work, which is exciting! I do miss having that time at home, though. xD (Customer service can be... draining. As anyone who's worked customer service will agree.)

- So... what made you return??

 

Overwhelming guilt.

I jest. Overwhelming guilt causes me to freeze up and ignore the problem and never do anything ever. That's... not to say it didn't exist, but it certainly didn't help me to return xD

I'd been meaning to come back for what feels like months now but is somehow only two? but my internal dialogue went something like this: 

"oh no, I missed the first Saturday of the month! I was meant to do a Quirk!"

"...guess I'll have to wait until next month then" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- HAVE YOU ABANDONED YOUR QUIRKS

 

For the last few months, apparently yes?? So much for them keeping me accountable to my blogging schedule. But not permanently! I enjoy making them, I enjoy writing them, and most of all I enjoy conning you talented people into feeding me amazing bites of story mwahaha reading what you've written. 

- You said the next Quirk would be after April!!

- So... what actually pushed you to return? You never actually said, just rambled about guilt for a while and then laughed maniacally and stuffed licorice allsort marshmallows into your face?

 

Firstly. Have you ever eaten licorice allsort marshmallows. The mixed signals are a trip. 

Secondly. Everyone has the right to maniacal laughter and I exercise mine.  

 Thirdly. Uhhh... I didn't answer, did I. I get distracted easily and also am a pantser for even blog posts apparently? 

Well. The thing that gave me that final kick required to come back and face the atrocity that is the new Blogger, fun side rant, did you know they're ceasing their email subscription tool? was something the ever-amazing, villain-loving, pitchfork-wielding, actual-sunshine-but-don't-tell-her-I-said-so Kenzie told me. And the follow-up to that. 

And I can't tell you what it was. 

Actually. no. I can. It was a whole bunch of screaming about some mysterious news which she couldn't tell me. 

BUT. She's just an inspiration in general, guys. Also stay tuned.

- Are you going to have any actual point to this post or was the point just to mention licorice allsort marshmallows and use Loki gifs?

 

...I'm still not sure how I feel about the marshmallows, but Loki gifs are worth it. Nope, this is it.
