✨ Here’s to never giving up ✨
I’ve always wanted to be the best version of myself that I could possibly be. But the last 12 months have been really challenging and stressful.

Sent an email today to enquire about a grant for my Eloraverse project hoping it might help me focus on creating without the stress of bills piling up. Fingers crossed something comes through! 🤞✨

Today I got a like on an old birthday post. While my job hunt hasn’t changed much, it reminded me that my stories still matter and so do I. Even in dark days, there’s still hope, even when holding onto dreams feels hard. 💛

Life rarely gives us the perfect moment. Things haven’t been easy lately, but instead of waiting for calm, maybe it’s time to forge ahead.

I am Elora Evanara, a princess and third in line to the Elven throne of Aelthanor. My family's enemies are numerous. Be it luck or a gift from the gods, I have found someone I love deeply, and I married my wife for love, not politics.

Hope springs eternal. I’m still here, still fighting to stay afloat. I’m hopeful that a job and a bit of stability will come soon enough to breathe again, to keep building the life I’m dreaming of.

Starting a new D&D 5e campaign set in my Eloraverse. Hoping it sparks fresh inspiration and helps me stay focused. There’s something magic about watching players explore the world and uncover its secrets.
Let’s see where it leads. ✨

Wow. Had to complete age verification just to check my Bluesky messages.
Got a lovely little note saying:
“We’ve deleted your biometric data.”
In other words: “Trust us. We’re the good guys. We didn’t keep any hashes. Honest!”

Flick’s Note to Self:
Do not trap ancient metaphysical concepts in glitter wards.
Especially ones powered by mortals’ hopes and dreams.
Now everything smells like burnt honey and regrets.

wait… have I just accidentally invented new Eloraverse lore??
Is this like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but with… a Spirit of Hope?
Would it get angry if it got caught in a magical ward?
Abort mission. Abort.
Flick, stop that. It might be a broken mirror situation.

Flick is currently on the hunt for the Spirit of Hope, Invention, and Imagination.
It has something he needs.
Like answers. And possibly honey. Definitely chocolate.
When found, he shall stare it in the face and demand bargains.

A quiet prayer to the spirit of hope, invention, and imagination:
May this season of sorrow pass.
May my words take flight.
May story, world, and wonder rise again.
Let hope feel less frayed.
Let dreams take root.
Let imagination soar.

Real talk: I’m on the edge.
I gave everything I had to a recent interview. It still wasn’t enough. Rent, gas, and electric will clear on the 29th but after that, I’ll have nothing left.
I don’t want to sell my PC, Wacom, or the tools I use to build the Eloraverse.

It’s D&D night.
At the start of the campaign I foolishly asked the GM if I could be the daughter of a goddess. They said “maybe… but you’d have to have amnesia.”

Tomorrow’s a big day. I’ve got an interview one that, if it goes well, could finally help me move past survival mode.
I’ve been holding everything together with duct tape, dreams, and sheer stubbornness. But I’d love a chance to breathe again. To build again.

I’m just saying, if Murgoth is real, the most responsible thing we can do…
is honour him with chocolate dragon replicas. Life-sized. Maybe hollow. Maybe filled with honey.

On the continent of Murgareth, a jagged mountain range known as the Spine of Murgoth cuts across the land like the scar of an ancient wound.
Legend claims it was formed from the body of the great dragon Murgoth, who after a final battle lost to time collapsed across the continent.

The chronicler didn’t ask me to post this (in fact, she might scold me for it), but I may have found a little note tucked under a half-eaten pastry box.

Lately, things have been especially difficult. I’ve been in survival mode quietly fighting to keep going, to keep something alive.
Every time I post here, it feels like more than just an update.
It’s a small promise to myself: I’m still here. I’m still trying.
