september 25th-october 1st.

home stretchhhh babyyyyyyy. i know i said this last time but as i was writing this week, i really started to see the end of this chapter and jadjfsfskks. it's so exciting. of course, i have to preface this by saying that seeing the end doesn't mean i'm at the end, but the fact that i even can say this is such an accomplishment.

ciel's scene is getting really interesting. it's probably the most fun i've had writing a scene in a while just because they're so unhinged. that's genuinely the best way i can describe it. i'm really letting myself go all out with this scene, to the point that they're making comments that make even me go "woah, that was uncalled for." and it's just. ah. it feels so good. a lot of things are also starting to connect in this scene and it's so so fun to finally put these ideas out. half of it is just ciel spouting bullshit (that's their goal at the end of the day) and it's your job to figure out how much truth there is to their statements. you'll get to discuss some of this with the characters in chapter eleven (getting ahead of myself there haha) but i'm excited to see if anyone comes up with any theories on tumblr in the time in-between.

there's still one more (small) scene i have to write after ciel's (they're directly connected so i guess you could say it's still technically the same thing) that i will hopefully get around to by the end of this week? if not, then next week. but yeah. home stretch. after that it'll just be a lottt of editing and coding and then !! release !! i'll also be going through the current game and fixing known bugs during this process, so if anyone has a grammar mistake/coding error they're really bothered by now is the time to say it lol.

my goal for this month is to finish the writing process of chapter ten and get it somewhat ready, if not all the way, for release. i also hope to start teasing my second wip (some of you have already seen it; i had posts on here but deleted them lol) so if you're interested i'll post the new blog for that on my tumblr sometime later. it's very different from when twilight strikes so i'm a little nervous but also very excited. it's been really fun writing it in my free time so i hope everyone likes it too. hope you're all doing well <3

Ciel tilts their head, still smiling. "Look at that: you run away with your tail between your legs too."
