UPDATE 2: welp, so uh. new job advertised as full time, turns out it's barely part time. so these are opened again.


UPDATE: Got a new job! Huge thanks to everyone who's been so supportive of me in the meantime!


soooooo... long time no see y'all. anyone who's been following my status updates, sparse as they've been, knows i was doing really rough for a while there... things started to improve, and in general they're still better than they were, but after finally getting on a regular anti-anxiety med and starting to feel normal again, i then had a bout with gallstones and had to get my gallbladder removed. of course, i had to take some time off work to recover, i told my company that i'd be unavailable for two weeks after the surgery, went to visit my partner out of state, it was fantastic... then i came home and discovered the company had terminated my contract while i was gone.


so uh. i'm not mentally in a good enough place to open full commissions rn, but i can do some customs i think. because... i need something while i'm trying to find another remote job that'll be able to travel with me when i move, hopefully this spring. anything is helpful, even just sharing this journal or something. any followers still watching, i know it's been a while but... i appreciate you guys, those of you who've stuck around. <3


For the sake of my sanity, i'm keeping it to 5 slots for each base type, and i'll have a waitlist for if orders exceed that.

To followers of Hambleton's: after much thought and deliberation, I've decided not to post an August chapter. Between it feeling ridiculously dissonant to write about "everyday problems" while the world is falling apart, and the fact that July is the anniversary of my dad's passing, I just had zero motivation to write anything. I know that forcing myself to do it anyway would just result in sub-par content, so I didn't want to do that.


2020's been a bizarre year thus far. I'll aim to have September's chapter ready come the beginning of next month, but... given the global landscape, I won't say anything is certain. I'll hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. The worst just being that chapters might be a bit scarce or off-schedule for a bit.


In other news, thanks to a large amount of family drama this spring, my siblings and I are putting every effort we can into moving out as soon as we possibly can. Yeah, I know, during a pandemic is the Worst Time to do this, but let's just say our mother hasn't given us much of a choice. We love her, but it's just getting to this point that staying here and dealing with her complexes and strongarming is no longer worth sharing the cost of living in this house. So... yeah, that's a thing.


We're shooting for Wausau, WI. We wanted something near the Great Lakes area, since we like the topography, but we also needed something within a day's drive so we didn't have to cart our poor kitties too far (we have two) in a moving vehicle. I'm really hoping that the second stimulus check will go through, because that would be hUGE and go a long way toward bolstering our savings for this trip. I'm the only one of us siblings that has a job, since where we live, they're extremely scarce and they've been having trouble finding online work, soooo... prayers, good vibes... donations?? are incredibly appreciated.


To those waiting on commissions, I thank you once again for your patience. This spring, I had thought to myself "okay, i'm going to binge-finish these pieces! i can do it!" and thennnnn the family drama happened and i've been having panic attacks for the first time in my life and...... 2020's just the worst.

Okay, gang! After a little time and thought, I have an announcement regarding my Hambles project. Don't worry, nothing's the matter; I just have a few things to say.

It's been about six months since I started posting Hambleton's chapters. First of all, WHOO, boy. It hasn't been quite what I expected, but it's been fun nonetheless. It's definitely a learning process. 

Which is the premise for the second point. After six months of running, the biggest thing I've learned is that I am trying too hard to churn out way too much way too often. :U The current schedule, a new chapter every other week, is proving to be an absolute bEAR. I was doing okay there for a little while before Christmas, but it seems like all it ever took was just one little setback and I'd start tripping and struggling.

It's making the writing process feel less like something fun that I'm doing because I enjoy it and I want to share the story with people and feel more like a chore that's consuming my every waking moment. Which I really don't want it to be! I want this project to continue being fun and fluffy for my readers AND for me. It means too much to me to let it become otherwise. 

SO. Here's the new plan: I'm going manga-style and uploading a new full-length, public chapter once a month. I've selected the second Saturday of every month as the day new chapters will go live, with my Patrons getting each one a week in advance. In addition, I shall continue posting Patreon-exclusive art and special episodes such as holiday oneshots as well, whenever the situation calls for it.

I'm hoping that this will take a bit of the load off my mind, without completely shooting the project in the foot. I'll be able to keep up with myself, keep providing regular Hambleton's content for all y'all who've been following, and it won't be nearly as stressful. I might even get to fit other side projects in along the way, BUT let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm going to give this new schedule a try and just see where we go from there. 

So, this week will be the last week where I'll be posting the Patreon early access chapter on Wednesday, to go public on Saturday. Then, the next one will go up on my Patreon on April 4th, followed by the chapter going public a week later. Stay tuned!

That's all for now, folks! Thanks for hanging in there with me, and bearing with me as we continue on this venture. I love all of you guys and appreciate all your support.

Heyo, fellas! ^^; Right now, I'm in need of the muns, but I'm lacking inspiration for any adopt batches or YCHs, so I'm temporarily opening custom adopts until I earn what I need.  Any help is appreciated! I'll do my best to stay on top of the slots...

For the sake of my sanity,  I'm keeping it to 7 slots for each base type, and I'll have a waitlist for if orders exceed that. Comment with the following form if you want one!

Tiny Pixel Sparkle by EmpressOfRoses To see context for this information, read Magic in Wondroz Tiny Pixel Sparkle by EmpressOfRoses

Once classified and enrolled in a magic school (or, for many, involved with the magic gangs), wizards-in-training are reviewed by experts and given a ranking of their skills, gauged by a set of attributes on a scale of 0 to 5. Specific magic class often dictates which attributes a wizard or witch will be naturally talented in, but everyone who wields a wand is capable of advancing each and every one with patience, practice and study. The attributes are:


Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Affinity  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How in-tune with magic are you? 
The amount of magical capability and control, i.e. an elf or vampire
who has only just awakened their Core usually has a 
higher Affinity stat than trained humans due to their inborn magic.

Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Strength  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How hard can your magic hit? 
The higher this stat is, the more powerful the caster’s 
spells are. Spells cast by wizards with a high strength stat 
are not easily dispelled or deflected.

Pixel Sparkle Divider 2 by EmpressOfRoses

Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Agility  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How fast can your magic act? 
It indicates the speed of casting effect, as well as how fast 
the magical energy itself will move once it’s released by the caster.

Pixel Sparkle Divider 2 by EmpressOfRoses

Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Range  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How far can your magic reach? 
This stat reflects how far from the caster the magic can fly 
and/or manifest. The higher the number, the farther the range, 
the furthest capable of reaching up to thirty meters.

Pixel Sparkle Divider 2 by EmpressOfRoses

Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Technique  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How much can your magic do? 
Technique requires skill, an eye for detail, and patience. 
The more complicated the magic, i.e. transformation or effect spells, 
the better your technique must be to perform it.

Pixel Sparkle Divider 2 by EmpressOfRoses

Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses Stamina  Pixel Sparkle Bullet by EmpressOfRoses

How long can your magic last? 
The higher the stamina, the less energy a spell takes out of its 
caster. Wizards with low stamina may become tired after just 
four or five large spells, while those with high stamina can last through dozens.

Pixel Sparkle Divider 2 by EmpressOfRoses

Wizards ideally round out their skills and achieve at least average marks in each stat category, but this is a journey that can take a lifetime to achieve.
