Kind of irrelevant not fun section, you can skip to the actual update part if you likeSo I'd like to take the time to apologize... again. I think I've said it before, but this has been the worst year of my life and it's just one thing after another while the others still hang heavy on me. I've never been good at dealing with things. My method is basically to shut down, worry obsessively over the thing even if it doesn't have a solution, see how much stuff I haven't done because I've been too busy worrying, get angry at myself, do even less, and then get depressed until the memory of the thing fades enough for me to function again.
But anyways, so... My ex cut all contact with me. Or... I cut all contact with her. It's strange and convoluted the way my relationship has always been. We were getting better, I even told her that once things were a bit more stable in both of our lives that we could try again if she wanted. This came very suddenly. She made me trust her again and this was like a backhanded slap in the face. I'm still kind of reeling from it. It's very hard for me to even comprehend what it means because I've known her for over half of my life and the idea of not sharing my life anymore with her is unbearable to me.
She shaped a lot of what I do and who I am as a person. Heck, let's take a look at Dralons, then you'll start to see how important she... honestly still is to me. She inspired two types, the Ringtail and the Wingtail, and is partly responsible for May's Tiptail. Back in the day she designed a lot of markings, some of which are still popular today such as Yin Yang Body, Yin Yang Tails, Head Scars, Flank Heart, Eye Daggers, Stockings, and more. I've made countless premades simply because they remind me of her or to celebrate a special occasion, gotten her to think of ideas for premades and just... I think you understand if she's had this much effect on the Dralons how much effect she's had on me in general.
Anyways, what you really want to hear. My emotions are a rollercoaster right now. Every day there is some new one to deal with or be overwhelmed by. I honestly cannot promise when anything will be done. Maybe I'll find the intense need to get away from my feelings and channel them all into working on the Halloween event and get ten Dralons out in a day, or feel so numb about everything that I just don't do anything for a week. Basically... and I hate to say this because I really, really took pride in getting Dralons out on time, things are going to be about as unpredictable as my username for the next little while, and what I've done even a day ago will be no indication of what I can get done in the future. I think... at least at this point in time though, it feels like I'm going to turn to making Dralons as a coping method the way I have in the past, so things might actually get a lot better with this thread because of this. I really don't know right now.
Just... kinda needed to get that out. I'm so sorry. I know you all have likely lost a lot of trust in me for my consistent failures.
Update Post, much happierHello everyone, it's time for the update post ^.^
First up as always are the premades ^.^ The Cordtail is some sort of winter, snow making spirit, with a sweater to protect itself from all the cold things it makes XD The Fishtail is just me trying out something different, so my style doesn't get boring with the premades. Fun fact: I hardly ever make pure red premades because it's my least favourite colour. Anyways, I hope you enjoy them both ^.^
Next up is the premade litter, and true to the way they've been going lately, it's another big one XD All five cubs are available in the special section of the pound and here's their parents in case you're interested in that ^.^

This week's breed slot raffle has been won by
Ghostdance and
Dinitrix! Congratulations ^.^ You have until the next update post to contact each other, figure out your pair, and post them on this thread. The entry list has been reset for next week and best of luck to everyone who enters ^.^
And, the poll results. Looks like over two times the amount of people would rather the event continue as it's been going, with the story bits, even if that means things are incredibly slow. I have to say, thank you. I'm honored that you find my writing to be good enough to deal with delays for it. I didn't expect the poll to go that way at all, honestly XD I will do my best to make sure the event continues to be as good as it can be, even though it's very late now. (Also in case anyone was wondering, I was the one who voted for other, so I could see the results of the poll)
Guess that's about it for this update. As I've mentioned in a few places, things are still very unpredictable in terms of when and how many Dralons I can get completed. They
will all get completed though, and I promise you we will eventually be back on track. Thank you so much for all the patience and kindness you all have shown me, and have a wonderful week ^.^
