I won't lie to keep you here
I could never be that cold, my dear
Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare
~ Live This Nightmare – The Griswolds
First of all, apologies for this being so late. Things have been rough for reasons I will elaborate on later, and I just was not in the mood for writing. Still exhausted, so I’ll just keep the project updates brief.
Projects
Main focus has been on my Glitter Force Archival project. I’m mostly done with it, just need to get a handful of dubs for the final season of Doki Doki’s Glitter Force dub, and if possible, go back for high-quality video for most dubs in Smileforce’s second and Dokiforce’s first season. I had to get LQ because of a mixture of problems with my downloading tool and a family emergency happening that made it seem for a moment like I might be in and out of housing forced me to rush some things. Thankfully, I do have HQ video, and have a similar method to how Netflix switches out audio tracks that I can use to recreate the original HQ version if need be, but I’m hoping I can get as many of the original videos from Netflix before then. I’ve also been writing a bit for RotTM’s first chapter since I’m a little burnt out on outlining right now.
Other than that, it’s largely been small-scale stuff because I just plain haven’t had the energy for that much more. I’ve been slowly chipping away at the minor cast for the Chinese dub of CHS, and on impulse I decided to revisit an old concept I had for a Digimon fanseries over the weekend and clean up its series bible. I’m thinking I’ll just toss the bible and whatever else I want to on here when I’m done with it. I don’t think I want to make it into a fully-written thing—not right now, anyways—but it’s been good to rotate around here and there.
How’ve you been, Tilde?
Very, very, rough. Parents fought a lot over the past few days and it got so intense that for a moment it almost looked like we would have to leave the house if my Dad didn’t settle and it was extremely stressful, put nicely. Things have calmed down by now but I’m exhausted and on-edge, especially because during that time I had intense panic attacks where I was legitimately struggling to breathe and felt like my heart had stopped. Still dealing with all that residual anxiety today, and I’ve just been on-edge and paranoid beyond belief. As you can imagine, it’s been hard to make things because of being in constant fight-or-flight-or-fawn mode, and I’m just exhausted beyond belief. Ugh.
