@Chibi - Not only are we members of the Stardew Valley trio, BUT, I am also totally a Chair shipper, which I discovered through Shinju's lovely 'Dearest.' *coughs* I basically only have a twitter because I was part of those late-season folks that would tweet #SAVECHUCKANDBLAIR throughout that week's episode. >> I tumbled about it for a long time, and sort of laughably, nothing I make or write on tumblr is reblogged as much as this blurble I flung into the Dair v Chair debate. People want what they want.

OMG SOPHIA THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY aaahhhh Chair shipper ;w;

WE SHOULD TOTALLY TALK ABOUT CHAIR SOMETIME ON DISCORD :D (not that I am... hyped about this or anything...) Also oh my gosh, your essay was amazing! So spot on! And so well written! I just loved every word of it!

I think I've already interacted with you a bit on Discord! I'm glad you joined us and seem to be fitting in so well! Sorry or the late welcome. I have been on hiatus for the past few months and have just recently returned to the community.

QUISTIS. This must happen now. This is a total plug, but if you feel the need for extra motivation for that site, sign up for Quistis at Those Who Fight! She's still available. :)

Anyway, if you ever need anything, feel free to poke any of us in blue or pink!

Hi Sophia are you still around?

[Sophia]

Hi ArthurFer! I am, but in deeply abbreviated fashion - I am leaving a terrible job this Thursday, which I'm very excited about, but various preparations for this decision have made me extremely scarce.

And eugh, I never replied to Todd or Chibi. x_X Rude of me! Thank you both so much -- and Todd, you mentioning Those Who Fight gave me the gumption to apply in this thread, when I originally saw it. So thank you doubly!

[Sophia]

Hey team -- not sure if this is the appropriate way to signal "hi, hello, I'm back, I've missed you!", but I have.

September and October have been busy months for me. I quit an awful customer service job that amounted to an over 60 hour week commitment, scrambled to apply for a Coding Bootcamp, and managed to get into a fullstack developer course starting in December. It's essentially expensive cram school, but I'm really hoping this will be a career change.

Both before, and during these changes, I've just felt ... tapped out. Hence my absence and lack of productivity.Trying to change that, bit by bit. Sleep isn't quit returning the way I want it to, but trying to let this be a gentle time before throwing myself back into the breach once more.

Anyway: hi!

[Sophia]

Going okay! Just gotta keeping on keeping on. Thank you for asking.
