Writefag's Corner: Once we were Gods
If you've been keeping up with Planetside 2, a fantastic fps mmo I've been playing on and off for a while, you'll know that recently they've decided to revamp the lore lately. I decided I wanted to take a crack at writing a story in that universe. I thought to myself, "What would happen if these seemingly immortal humans suddenly lost that invulnerability?" I took that idea and ran with it, creating Once We Were Gods. So far, just chapter 1 is up, but I'm almost finished with a second chapter. I'm intending it to be a three chapter short story, but I may continue it if you guys like it. Hope you enjoy!
Another note: from now on all my writefag's corners writings are going to be hosted on that wixsite, just because I want to keep this blog more personal writings and that website more professional writings. Not to say that my writing is going to be "more professional" there, the fucking homepage just proves that wrong, I just wanted it to be easier to find my writings as opposed to my blogging here. It's an organizational thing, really.
Life update: September 2018
I am 20 now. God that feels weird to say. My birthday was this month, making me no longer a teenager, but as usual I feel no different. It's like everyone says, I feel no older than I was when I was, say, 15.
But, life has gotten better. I've been more on top of my classes as well as getting back into the swing of this blog. I'm actually excited about my classes for once. I think changing my major to history was the right choice. Also, it's nice to just take some time out of my day just to sit and write, whether it be here on the blog, for one of my classes, or just for myself. I enjoy the feedback you guys give me from discord, and its nice to get things off my chest.
I'm still (trying) to make videos. I want to be less of a lazy fuck and actually get myself back on a schedule, but I can't make any promises. Pretty much every video I listed in my pipeline in the beginning of the summer is in the works in one way shape or form, along with a couple others. I just need to commit to finishing projects I've started and not just abandon them.
9 years is coming out in November. I've been making good progress with it, and so long as I keep up this pace that is when it will come out. Of course, I'm horrid with dates, so just take that with a grain of salt. With the amount of shit that goes down in it though, I think it'll be worth the wait.
My love life has been mostly stagnant. I went out with another girl from tinder. She was nice but I don't see myself getting into a relationship with her. I've been talking to another girl too, but I also don't think much is going to come of that.
Pika was having a rough time the other day. Her cat just up and disappeared, and she was getting super worried. She had him chipped, so she went to the vets in the area to report it missing. Honestly, I was fearing the worst after three days, after all south Florida is gator country, but he finally came back. It was a relief, but also puzzling. He was missing his collar, so I suspect someone tried to steal him. That pisses me off. There's a bazillion other sweet cats out there that don't have homes, why would you try to take one that has a home? Pika's cat started out as a stray kitten, so it's ironic he's now so wanted someone tried to abduct him. However, he may have just lost it in the woods, so we can't know for certain. I just told her to keep an eye on any neighbors that show a peculiar interest in him.

Gifts from Pika
In May of this year, Pikachu decided to come up for my memorial day party. It was great! She was exactly how she was online, which was to say awesome! To my surprise she brought me gifts, as a thank you for all the stuff I'd sent her over the years.
First off, she got me some dice for my MtG addiction (which are always appreciated):

She also got me a Sableye Pokemon plushie and a pocket-watch and necklace from FullMetal Alchemist (the pocket-watch is REALLY nice and actually works!):
Last, but certainly not least, I got the Lego At-M6 set! Unfortunatly, I don't have it with me at college, but man oh man is it cool! I was as giddy as a schoolchild when I opened it! It's an epensive set, so I was shocked she got it for me. Here's a pic from Lego's website:
Honestly, this was the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me. The entire experience of her visiting was awesome, and I really hope I could see her again. After 3 and a half long years, I finally was able to see her again, and it was worth it. I made sure to give her a big long hug after this. She was really bashful about being thanked, but I hope she know how awesome her kindness was. Pika, I love you! I love you so very much!

Life update: May June, July, August 2018
It's been a few, but now that my computer's fixed I can finally get back to posting on here. Enough with the formalities, here's the scoop.
May: I mostly just worked, but the biggest thing is Pika came down! I finally got to see her after 3 years, and it was great. She only stayed for memorial day weekend, but she brought me a bunch of gifts (which I'll make another post about), which is honestly the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me. She was exactly as I remembered her. The only thing I felt bad about her parents. I just felt that because of the language barrier, I couldn't really talk to them, and I'm afraid I might have come off as rude. They were very nice, but I'm just afraid I wasn't the best host. Hopefully the next time we meet I can make a better impression.
June: Again, I worked. My department got a new manager, who's actually quite the bro. We started cleaning up the meat department, getting more organized, and just getting down to business in general. He's a cool guy, I've talked to him about Overwatch a bit and he's dabbled in anime. He's honestly a stand-up dude who deserves a better position than what he has. I just hope he moves on from the shitshow that is that store.
July: Worked, but I also went on a couple trips. I went to West Virginia to see my sister, who was interning at a theater company, and wound up touring a lot of Civil War battlefields (mainly Antietam and Gettysburg). Honestly, it made me sure that studying history was for me. I picked up the book Spring 1865 by Perry D. Jamieson and recently finished it. It's interesting to see just how deluded people get at the end of long wars. For instance, Jefferson Davis still believed he could win the war up until his capture, going against the judgement of his cabinet and his generals. It was also interesting to see just how badass Lincoln was. For some reason we have this idea that "Honest Abe" was mild mannered, kind and gentle. He was anything but. He was a man on a mission: to reunite the union. When in conferences with the confederates, the 16th president refused to acknowledge the south as it's own country, and did not give any credence to their cause. He didn't give two shits about what the southerners thought. He gave them two choices: come back and be accepted with open arms, or face the hellfire of the Union's armies. Savannah, Atlanta, and most of South Carolina chose the latter. It was honestly a mistake that he was assassinated, from a southern perspective. Lincoln's policy was to "let 'em down easy," a policy which was not mirrored by his successor, Johnson (especially after "The South" killed the president and maimed his staff). Wow, that was a long tangent.
August: School's started, and I'm honestly pretty happy. My classes are interesting. I enjoy them, and I actually like doing the homework in some! I'm just glad there's no goddamn math. I can just nerd out about Abe Lincoln. That makes me happy. Honestly, I'm glad I've found something I feel I can devote my life to.

Where have I been?
So, it's been a while, I know. Between work and vacations and such, it's been busy. Honestly, though, the biggest setback has been my hard drive crash. My laptop died a while back, and with it, some of my unfinished videos. Fear not! I'm currently working on my "Ancient Autopsy" video on Pilate, which will hopefully be out within the week. As far as the schedule goes, I'm going to try to work up to doing one video a week, but for now I'm going to work on videos at my own pace since school is picking back up. I want to make videos, I really do, but I'm just having trouble finding the time and motivation to do so.
I'm going to do a joint June/July life update, since nothing much happened in July and all the juicy bits happened in June. That will be out by the end of the month.
I'm moving ahead on my Star Wars comic as well, here is some rough art I did with my new drawing tablet, just to show I haven't been doing nothing the past two months.
And finally, 9 years part 3 release date is November. I still have a long ways to work on it, so I want to give myself time, but if all goes well it should be worth the wait.
Thanks for sticking with me through all of this, though!
