Summary:
After Loki returns from the war on Midgard, he finds it difficult to adjust to life back on Asgard. Eveything is too loud, too bright, too busy. He would much rather be left alone to nap as much as he wants.
But there are secrets being kept, lies told, and rumours spread around him. Exhausted and at the end of his rope, he cannot rest without knowing the truth. With another war looming with Vanaheimr, Loki escapes the realm once more for some peace and quiet. Seeking cold and snow, this time he goes to Jötunheimr.
Updates every other Sunday.
Final Little Beirut schedule change
Apr. 20th, 2020 07:27 pmGoing forward, books will be released the final Thursday of the month. I really wanted to let them be weekly, but it just wasn't going to be happening, especially with some of the changes needed to be made.
Book 5 will start off the first main story arc, which would have overlapped with the removed arc. The removed arc is what's going to take the majority of time in adjusting and replacing. I think I've got most of it sorted out by now, but I don't want to get bogged down two issues down the line and miss deadlines. I'd rather give myself wider deadlines so everyone knows what to expect.
Watch for Book 5 out May 28th!

I made a post about this on Goodreads, but the situation has, uh. Evolved significantly.
Wendigo was supposed to be released on the 16th, but it's been pushed back a week. Today, I've made the decision to release bi-weekly, or possibly monthly going forward. As much as I wanted to go forward with a weekly release schedule, I just can't in good faith. I realised earlier this week while getting future drafts in order that a literal plague arc took up much more time than I had realised, and would span about 3-4 issues. The arc had little to do with the main arc of volume 1, and can be easily shelved and reworked at a later date.
I also had a minor earthquake plot that might consist of 1-2 issues in total, which I've decided to axe as well. I just don't feel good about it right now. Unfortunately, this does mean that I've lost about 25% of the content planned for volume 1. This is going to require a lot of reworking that can't be done on the weekly time frame.
This is a project that I've been working on for years. The section that is becoming volume 1 was written about two years ago. I began assembling the pieces to become Little Beirut around January, and only this week realised how big the plague arc was. Delaying Wendigo and changing the upload schedule will allow me to keep consistent while I rework other arcs to fill the gap that removing sections created.

I've kind of fallen into a bit of a pit lately, sparked by a bunch of random reasons. My work/life balance has been absolute chaos, for one. The kind of chaos where I wake up, make coffee, immediately get to work, stop sometime around the 12-13 hour mark, and then spend the rest of the evening just looking at my phone. I've tried to do some things for just me, which was nice, but now I don't really want to do anything at all.
Despite constantly working my commission queue has been empty since December. It was going really strong, and then orders just dried up on me, and I'm not really sure what to do. I didn't do well enough for Twitch to pay out last month, or this month. YouTube's been so broken I don't even rely on it anymore. I've just been scraping by with Patreon and pattern sales. I've been working on putting more patterns up, and making things more presentable lately, but even that only gets so much traction.
I'm tempted, once I manage to get this last commission done (if it ever happens) to try to just focus on patterns again. I've been thinking about setting up a second Patreon just for my writing, but I also kind of want that to be a hobby I don't monetise. I don't have enough of those. But I've been working on some fun original stuff again, and I've missed that dearly. But it's got to a point where I feel guilty for doing hobby stuff, because hobbies don't pay the bills.
I think what's best for me right now is to just go offline entirely for about a week. I probably won't go full Do Not Disturb on Discord, but servers will be muted and I won't be checking most of them. I won't be checking Instagram much, and probably not Twitter either.
I can't even focus enough to finish writing this post. So I'm just gonna leave it here I guess.

Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated the solstice. A day late, because it's no fun trying to cram something like that into the hour and a half he's home for dinner. We had a late lunch/early dinner, and around 3am, I went to go take a nap.
I did not wake up until almost 6pm. I told my husband not to wake me up. It's my day off, and I intended to sleep because I wanted to; not sleep because my body is rebelling against stress.
This will be the only winter holiday we observe this year. Thanksgiving was missed because planning sucked and was (probably) meant to sabotage me. When I spent an entire week trying to get plans and a timeline out of my mother, only to be brushed off until 8pm the night before, and told to be ready to go at 11am, I can see no other reason for what happened. She still acts surprised every week to learn we're still on night shift. But for someone who hasn't held down a real job with real hours since 1989, it's no wonder she has no idea how job schedules work. She's had jobs between then and now. They've all either been self-employed, which is fine. I'm self-employed. Or she's worked for people who didn't care enough about their own companies to run them properly, and given her the freedom to come and go as she pleases, picking her day-to-day schedule, and whether or not she even shows up. And then she's the kind of boomer who has the audacity to bitch about how lazy and inconsiderate I am for never having the time to do anything.
This is one of the biggest sources of my stress.
But Christmas has been cancelled this year, for which I am immensely glad. Christmas always goes one of two ways. Either the entire Griswold clan tries to cram into my mother's one-bedroom house with no heating and a leaking roof, or everyone comes up here and crowds my poor grandparents. During the last few years of her life, my grandmother constantly complained about this. She didn't want everyone up there. She didn't want to have Christmas (or Thanksgiving. We do the same for Thanksgiving too). She would have rather let everyone go spend holidays with their spouses' families, or go spend it with friends, or whatever. She hated the idea that we were basically guilted into spending the holidays with this side of the family, unless we wanted to face my mother's passive-aggressive fits about how much we don't care.
I fucking hate winter holidays.
This is not the first time Christmas has been cancelled. I can remember at least five other times my mother has thrown a fit and cancelled last minute. This time was not last minute, and has been the biggest cause of my stress this month.
At the beginning of the month, my grandfather ODed on Tramadol. Nobody knows how he got it, or the people who do know aren't saying anything. According to my mother, who is parroting what my uncle says, he orders it online. My husband, who works in end of life care, strongly disagrees. He was in a coma for a week. Right now, he's at my mother's house, where she wants him to stay. He wants to be at home with his cats. Back around 2015, when my grandmother was starting to show early signs of deteriorating, my husband and I tried to move in with them. My husband is a nursing assistant, and the plan we had with our grandparents is that he'd take part time work, and then would get set up as their in-home care and we'd put the money into paying their bills, etc. Instead, my mother threw a massive fit, and made sure this didn't happen. Instead, my uncle moved in. My uncle who has no job, who has a history of domestic assault and drugs charges. My uncle, who got a $70,000 inheritance which vanished in under six months. Somehow, he was deemed more responsible than us.
Now we're at a point where I don't believe anything that's been told to me. My grandfather does not have a will. My uncle lives there and will have every opportunity to take what he wants and sell it before anyone can do anything. I've already got everything I wanted after my grandmother died. The only truly important things for me were some of the jewellery, and the krumkake iron. There are some things of Grandpa's that will disappear unless someone manages to snatch them up. War medals, commendations from the Korean government, etc.
What has really pissed me off about all of this is how much I've had to chase down information. When my grandmother died, it was a drawn out, horrible ordeal. She put me in charge of final decisions. Every day, from June to October, I did what I needed to do at home and then went up to the hospital, or to the nursing home, to check up on her and make sure things were going well. I helped get things set up, made sure she was aware of what was going on, and then came home and called everyone in the family to relay what had been going on. That was my life, for about four months. Now that my mother is handling the situation with Grandpa, I get texts about once a week. When I call, I'm told next to nothing. I am constantly being shut out, and it's infuriating.
In the midst of all of this, we had to deal with our car being illegally towed for the second time in two months. We have documented evidence that the police were lying about not only where it was, but the state it was in, but we spent so much money having to ransom it that we can't even fight it. I took some emergency commissions to get us by, and without them, we'd have been about -$200 in our account right now. So once again, thank you to everyone who helped out over these last couple of weeks. Because of you, we have room to breathe, and are able to afford little things that tend to come up in between pay days. We were able to ransom our car, pay our rent, and buy a parking space to keep the cops from further harassing us.
This has just been a tremendously, hideously stressful month, and I once again want to thank everyone for their help in all of it, and their patience with me while I've been an absolute bird-brained mess. I haven't wanted to talk about most of this lately, because it wasn't something that could be summed up in a few sentences, and putting it on one of my platforms where I actually have a voice and an audience felt dangerous, since my mother knows about those. So I've put it here, where people can be safely directed to it. I will be back to streaming on Tuesday, but today I am taking a much needed day off.
Love you all, bye!
Edit: I've also forgotten to mention, because it was just buried in there with all the rest. Last week I noticed that my degenerative condition with my vision is getting worse. It's no longer just blurry in my right eye. There's now a tiny black spot right in the middle of my view. So that hasn't been helping either.

Wow, I really disappeared there, didn't I? Whoops.
I'm up to my ears in commissions and other projects on a deadline right now, which has been eating up all of my time lately. But that's one of those "good problems to have" sort of deals. My husband's new job pays less, and he's not quite full time yet, so I'm trying to pick up as much slack as possible. I've been fiddling with my commission stuff lately, making it a little easier to understand, but it's tough when what I offer is a bit different from the rest. I feel like I should get back into deviantART, but that site is so big that traction is nigh impossible. And my work takes so damn long to complete that having regular output beyond endless WIP shots is very impossible. I didn't even have a WIP post last week, because the only work I got done can't be shown publicly.
I got a weird promo to my YouTube channel yesterday, and I'm still not entirely sure where it came from. Some people were speculating a Tumblr blog, or Reddit, but when I checked both places, I couldn't see anything that suggested it would be sending traffic directly to a specific video. I'll be able to see referrals in a couple of days, once Google's had a chance to process everything, but it's WEIRD not knowing.
I think I can finish off at least one page of the project I'm working on today. I've defaulted certain items to 28ct, which is a beast to work on, but it saves so many materials, and lets me do tent stitch, so it goes super quickly. And at that size, you can't really tell. And now I'm looking at my pattern, and it's doing something I don't understand, so I have no idea what's going on anymore. I'm just gonna wait for my PO Box to text me so I can go for a walk.

Weekly WIPs
Jun. 22nd, 2019 11:39 amI've been so flipping busy the last few weeks that these are the only posts I have time to do. I'm taking today off to just do my own thing, because my head feels like it's full of helium and I can't figure out why. So let's talk about projects.
We start off with the last badge in my queue, and it's already shaping up to be a beast. I worked on this for a little bit on stream, and most of that stream was me realising that I might not have enough floss to finish it, because of how much of the area is a single colour. Normally that's not a problem, but these badges on 14ct use so much fabric that this will be the last one I ever do. My big fear with it is that while I'm pretty sure I do have enough floss, it won't all be exactly the same colour. Although hopefully with it being this dark, that won't really be noticeable.
The parrots, which like the horses, don't have any parrots. Also, this picture is very orange for some reason. I don't know why. I'm doing this one in tent stitch, but luckily the horses have taught me a lesson, so I'll be doing all the outlining in full stitches. I've done pieces like that in the past, and they always turn out really good, so I can't see why full coverage would be any different. So far though, it's just an endless sea of green, and oh god, between this and all my other WIPs, I'm going to have to buy so much green in the coming months. D:
Now we got Kermit, another endless sea of green. Once I get past this confetti bit, this page should fly. But right now, I'm stuck in confetti. I love this piece though. It's already turning out so well, and the colours are so dark and moody that I can't wait to get to Kermit and see how well he pops. In the original painting I did, the background was brown, but I went with nothing but green for some reason on the stitched version. I think it might have been because DMC doesn't have the nicest range of browns, and a bajillion greens, so I knew they'd behave better. That might be why so many of my pieces right now are nothing but green.
I don't think I've ever mentioned it before, but this pattern is available for free right now.
The goat actually has a goat! I'm loving this one so much as well. Some of the colours in his horns blend together a bit too much, but it doesn't really matter. They're all so bright and vibrant that it still looks really good, and it will only get more bright and vibrant once I do the black. The green is killing me, but I think I only have one more row of pages on these awful palm trees before the green becomes easier to stitch. I do not know what I was thinking with this. I'm going to get at least down into his shirt to make sure the pinks work (I don't really doubt that they will though) before I release this pattern. Just to be safe.
I didn't get a whole lot of work done on the horses this week. Most of what I did get done was fixing the lines to be full stitches, since I didn't like how uneven they were as half. I think I screwed it up in a few places, because it was impossible to see, but it still works. I want to get through the sky before I release this one, because that's where most of the colours are, and if the sky works, the rest should work just fine as well.
And lastly, Toothless. I got two pages done on stream yesterday, and nevermind that one of those pages had a whole eight stitches. But those two tiny pages were enough to make me feel like I've finally managed to get some real progress done on him. Unfortunately for me, the next two pages are enormous confetti nightmares, so this will be the last time I make a huge amount of progress like that in one sitting.
Pattern is here.
I've got one more WIP, but it's not one I can show you because it's for this year's mystery stitchalong.

Jun. 15th, 2019 11:27 amThis is all I've been posting lately, because I've been hyper focused on clearing my commission queue, and haven't really been doing anything else.
And I'm so close to having that done! I finished the stitching on this one during the livestream last night. It's not quite done though. Later today, I need to do the beading on it, and I want to find a couple of jump rings to use on it. But man, I'm almost there! I love how much the black really makes the other colours pop. I'll never not love that, actually. But this will be the last time you see this project in WIP posts, because after today, she's no longer a WIP!
I kept telling everyone there was a goat in this one, and you can finally start to see him. I've decided to do all the colour across the row to keep momentum, and then I'll have a week of just doing black to tack everything down better. There's a little smudge just to the right of his horn where I had to pull out a bunch of stitches, because I can't read numbers and put it all in the wrong spot. Luckily, it's a small area that got goofed. I do like how relatively fast this project is going though. I usually get a few hours every night to work on it, and once I get out of these horrible endless stripes, it should go even faster.
I love the light effects in this already. I had a good feeling about them over in the first tree, but the bits across his face that you can see already are turning out really nicely as well.

Jun. 8th, 2019 10:53 amOn the correct day this week. Between being on a weird day last week and me having a weird week this week, I didn't get much done at all. But it's still more than I expected, tbh.
First, the badge. I did an extra long stream yesterday, and tried to finish up the colour on this one during it. I came close, and then I got tired around the five hour mark and decided to bounce. But I finished the hair, and I love it. I forgot to adjust the colours in the dark part, but I'm not too fussed. It's so small, nobody will notice. Also so small that nobody will notice, but I am annoyed with is that the pink in her ears is a different shade to the pink on her tongue. I had to get a new skein of floss, because I knew I did not have enough to finish, and the dye lots were obscenely different. I also only have one skein remaining, so that's when I go online and find a cone. I looked everywhere I know to check, and could not find one. I might see if 123stitch can put in a custom order for me, but that sounds like hassle. It'll be easier to just buy a 12-pack I think.
The goat finally has some goat present! Since this piece is meant to be a colour test, I'm not changing any floss. What the chart says is what I'm using. After Kermit and the horses, I've been very confident in the greens, and have had no problems or complaints there. But I was a little worried when I got to his ear. There are two shades of pink, and one very purple lilac colour. I was thinking it was going to look awful, and on its own, it did. But next to those pinks and the two shades of brown that were supposed to be grey, it all looks just fine. Being all next to one another, the colours almost seem to blend together in a strange way. I also need to constantly remind myself that the lighting on this piece is deliberately weird, and that there are overlapping shadows and highlights that are changing everything. On its own, something may look really weird, but that will change in context. Kermit does the same thing, but since he's about 95% green you can't tell as much. Kermit's just green looking more green.

Fuck you, blue-green algae
Jun. 5th, 2019 01:02 pmThis has been my life for about the last month. I hear about it every summer, poisoning people and dogs along the Willamette. So imagine my horror when I woke up one morning and found it had somehow taken over my entire damn planted aquarium.
Today, after much quarantine and darkness for my poor fish, I've put the whole thing back together. Replaced all the decorations and plants, and decided to re-install the powerhead to circulate water better and hopefully prevent another bloom in the future. It's a little too vigorous for the size of tank I have, so I decided I'd put it on the front and point it at the filter, rather than on the side. This way, the main jet blast just goes straight into the filter intake, disrupting the current enough to disperse it for the rest of the tank. This means that there's an area in the tank that's just awkward as shit, while the rest is a nice place for a fish to live (I'm going to find a way to block that part off, I think).
So of course, where does the stupid fish go? Right into the current, where he immediately gets stuck like the fucking moron he is. So I stood in front of the tank for about ten minutes, convincing the fish to move to the other side. It took a lot of shaking his food for him to even notice me, and he actually had no problem getting out of the vortex at all. He was just being stupid, apparently. Wanted to see what was going on, I guess. But now he's been properly educated and is chilling out with the plants and rocks, where he belongs.
He's so stupid and I love him.

Streaming all day!
Jun. 4th, 2019 12:20 pmI'm streaming all day today over on Twitch. I'll be working on a couple of collaborative fics, trying to finish up Midgard Legends, and maybe even doing some plotting for my Marvel Bang fic. I might even record some podfic, depending on how I'm feeling.
Come hang out and chat, get some sneak peeks.

Jun. 3rd, 2019 10:44 amOn a Monday! We went to see Godzilla on Saturday, and I came back and just went straight to bed. So I meant to post this yesterday and went to bed in the middle of the day with a migraine. So here we are on Monday. I got a lot of stuff worked on this week, and a lot of progress made on what I worked on. I feel like taking the weekend off didn't even matter in the long run.
So close to done on this badge. The hair has made it take so much longer than I expected, but it already looks so good. I can't wait to get the black in there and really bring out the shape. Ordinarily with these pieces, I have to put a lot of time into adjusting the colours, because PCStitch is a fuckwit and doesn't look at the whole RGB value while converting, but looks for saturation first, and then value and hue. In the bigger projects, it doesn't matter too much, because there's a lot of colours happening at once and it still looks good as a whole. But with these small, simple designs, it means that your shadows and highlights will be completely different colours than your base. Her base was yellow, her shadow dark pink, and her highlight orange initially. While working on this, I've had to manually pick colours, and just use my chart to give me the shape, rather than following the chart properly. With her hair, I decided not to do that. She has yellow, orange, and red in there, all mingling together, and then shaded and highlighted as one. I did not want to sit there and figure out, "okay, this is a good spread for red, and this spread works for orange, and this one for yellow." It takes too much time, so I just YOLO'ed through. Her hair has enough variation of colour that it's turned out really well, and has exactly the kind of streaky, uneven look I was going for anyway.
Seriously though, fuck PCStitch.
Page finish on Kermit! God, I love these greens, and I think my camera actually managed to pick up some of the ultra-saturated, high-value shades in there. I'm onto a page without a single stitch of black, which isn't going to be as tedious as background fill pages tend to be, because it's not full of confetti. That's one thing I'm really trying to avoid with this new style of designing patterns: minimal confetti for quick stitching, while still retaining a lot of detail. So far, with the three I'm working on in this style, that's been working really well. The horses are going to be an exception by design, because there's no good way to get gradients without confetti, and the goat is just an asshole for another reason that's entirely my own fault. But Kermit so far has been a breeze. He goes so quickly when I actually sit down to work on him.
It's going to take about a year to get to the horses in this one. But I'm so pleased with it already. I haven't got a whole lot done here this week, but I'm still loving the greens and they way they don't quite blend. The little bits of sparkle in this are going to look so good when the whole thing's complete. You can't really see them right now, because so far they're all in really light, unsaturated areas. But once I get into the darker blues and pinks and purples in the sky, those stars are going to stand out so well. I just really wish gridded 25ct wasn't so awkward to work on. I'm used to the lines being over the holes, dividing rows between stitches, but this fabric can't do that by design. It's so difficult to remember that stitching over the top and left-hand lines is stitch #1 in a square. I haven't made many mistakes on this, but every single one that I have made is because of that.
Some super simple reindeer on some Fiberlicious fabric. I actually got really far on this during a livestream, and then haven't touched it since. I had reindeer assets for a different project that I liked better, because they were winter reindeer, and all poofy. But those have disappeared, so I had to make new ones, and for the life of me, I could not find winter reindeer again. I found a couple of summer ones that had good poses and just turned those into vectors, but it's not quite the same. I have no idea where I even found the reindeer I'd used previously, and it's killing me. I might have to actually do that other project now so I can use the assets I paid for.
And last this week, the goat! I'll actually start getting to the goat itself on the next page. The stripes in the blue bother me a bit, but it's the sort of thing I don't think anyone else would notice, and you really can't avoid them when you have that many stitches of a single colour together. The reindeer also have stripes, but being black, you just can't see them. I've already on my second skein of that blue, and was so worried it was going to turn out to be another Hawkeye, but the colours are really consistent, and I can't even see where I switched. There's also a lot less of this particular shade of blue than I'd anticipated, because the tree on the right is a lot bigger than I remember making it. This one took so long to convert, because DMC doesn't have the best selection for blue, and the way PCStitch handles colour tends to turn blues and purples into mud.
I really like how you can see the difference the black makes here. The green looks so disjointed and wrong on page 2, even though it's the same green on page 1. Once I get the black down, it'll look really good.

AO3 Shenanigans
Jun. 2nd, 2019 10:07 amSome videos on my AO3 page are temporarily missing. This is deliberate. I haven't taken down the work pages for them, but the videos themselves have been deleted from YouTube.
I have done this because they were hosted on a channel I don't use, and which is basically duplicating a channel I do. I'm going to be spending the next few days moving stuff over, re-cutting, and re-uploading video to the other channel so I can have everything in one place. Rather than risk dealing with YouTube not realising that two channels on the same account might actually be the same person, and flagging me for duplication, it was best to just delete the unused channel.
Since there's a bunch of stuff that never got posted to AO3 to begin with, I'm also going to re-arrange my pseuds, and put them all on an art one, since AO3 doesn't believe in organisation. It's dumb, but oh well.

Whoops, I forgot to post a chapter yesterday. I forgot to do it in the morning because I was busy putting a video together to go out by noon, and as soon as that went up, we went out to go do some shopping and other running around. And by the time we got home from that, I was in so much pain that I just went to bed. I'll post a chapter in a little bit.
Right now, I'm taking a break from spending an hour cutting apart about eight pounds of beef. I finally got better racks for the oven, so now there's four pounds (minus whatever fat got trimmed off) becoming jerky, and the other four pounds (same caveat) marinading in some teriyaki to become jerky tomorrow. I love these new racks so much. Last time I made jerky, I got so fed up with the ones that came with the oven that I tried to perforate tin foil and put that over the racks. All we wound up with was some very overcooked steak strips that way. Before, I had to do a single roast in two batches, because the racks are just standard oven racks with about an inch between the wires. Whole roast, all stripped up, fits in there all at once now. Before, it would have taken me four days to do what I'm doing in two. So yay! And while that's going, I've got all the fat trimmings on the stove, rendering down to go into the fryer.
Also, regarding Midgard Legends: I haven't been streaming much lately because I've been focusing on finishing up commissions. There are a lot to do, and I really want to get this done. The thing is, my outline says I have five chapters to go. But in writing a scene out, I realised that four of those chapters are absolutely pointless, because they went against some of Loki's motives. So there's only one left! It will probably be an extra long chapter, but with what I'm cutting out, it really only leaves two more plot points. They just happen to be a fairly small one, and a very large one, and I don't think I'll be able to split them apart without having a 2k chapter, and then a chapter that's still abnormally large.
Starting next week hopefully, I'll be able to get on a good Twitch schedule. I just want to make my YouTube schedule sink in better. I might do Twitch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, since those are the days I don't stream on YouTube.
I've also been having fun over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fan_flashworks for Who Killed Markiplier fic. It's been really interesting to explore a completely different interpretation of the canon than what I'm used to. I play a few characters from this series in my RP, and take a very different approach to it, because when I started playing, WKM wasn't a thing yet, and my main was just in a bunch of loosely-related sketches. My choices were to retcon about two years of work, or just go AU. Going AU was the easier choice. So playing in a more serious, surreal environment has been a lot of fun. I don't think there's going to be much bleed between the two, both because the AU I've established is so far removed from canon, and because a lot of what I headcanon would get me modcalled by some pearl-clutcher every three days. So, nope. Not going there. I'll keep it confined to AO3.

ugh migraines
May. 28th, 2019 01:43 pmI've been having constant migraines lately, and part of that is because I need to get my hair cut. I don't like it hanging all loose in my face, so I tend to wear a hat or tie it up in a ponytail. Both of these things seem to trigger migraines like crazy lately.
I might also need to get my glasses updated. I don't think I have since about 2012, so it's probably time to do that. Which is a shame, because I have so many pairs already, but I guess having half a dozen of them just means I'll have half a dozen spares. But ugh, it harshes so much of what I'd like to get done almost daily at this point. I really wanted to grow my hair out, but that's just not happening. I'm so tempted to just go shave it all off, but I really don't want to do that either.
Bah. I think I'll go make lunch or something.
