Hello my lovelies!
Thank you so much for all of your kind feedback. Any and all attention that my art has received is so appreciated, so thank you so much for following me and liking my stuff. It means a lot to me.
Unfortunately, I do not know if or when I will be posting again. I still draw occasionally, but most of it is doodles and sketches, nothing I'd want to publish. Most of my creative efforts have been directed towards writing.
You can find my recent creations here archiveofourown.org/users/pure…
I might pop in here every so often to browse through artwork and add things to my favorites, but no promises on how often I'll submit any new art.
Apologies to everyone who is disappointed to hear this
Love you all!

It's Been A Long, Long Time
3 min read
Sorry I've not been around. My last year in college was INTENSE. I did not have time to write or draw for five months straight and it was driving me crazy, so pretty much the second I got home, I started just creating ALL THE THINGS.
What started the neverending wave of creativity was joining an RP group of Marvel fans. It started out as just a fun, cracky thing. Originally I was gonna be Loki, but Loki was taken so I decided to be Captain America instead. And. Well. That opened the floodgates of creativity. There are so many scenes from the RP that I've sketched/colored, or things they've asked me to draw, or inspired me to draw. I'm friends with all of them and they are all AWESOME and there are so many inside jokes. We can't get enough of each other, the whole group. It's amazing.
Another thing that resulted from this RP group was my introduction to Steve/Bucky. I didn't really see it at first but *insert Rafiki .gif "Look Harder"* I see it now and I ship it roughly 1000 times harder than I thought I would. I've opened an account on AO3 archiveofourown.org/users/pure… and have been writing Stucky fics. I think of roughly 2-3 ideas for fan-fiction every friggin' day, so the ones I end up writing are the ones I keep coming back to.
Other News: I go by Steve now, whenever I can. This is partially because of my RP group as well, because we were all calling each other by our character names before we knew/remembered everyone's real names. I found myself calling them by their character names long after I knew their real names, though, because being called Steve just felt so right. It's gotten to the point where calling myself/ being called Katrina is weird for me and feels like being stabbed with a cold, dull knife. The name Steve just fits me so well, and I'm very happy with it. Introducing myself as Steve just feels so natural. I'm not out everywhere, but wherever I am 'out', I've asked people to please call me Steve. I'm fairly certain I've told y'all that I don't identify as female, but if you didn't know, now you do: I'm somewhat gender fluid and alternate between male and masculine androgynous, with the rare somewhat-femme day every few months or so, but usually I'm a dude. (Now you know!)
Also: I have a job!!
I work at a college bookstore. Always wanted to work at a bookstore. Sadly, I am only a temp, but I'm really loving it so far. This job could not be more perfect for me (well- unless it was half an hour closer and they didn't have me open at 7:45 a.m. some days, but hey).
And I graduated!!! I officially have a bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. (So what do I do with that? work/apply for odd jobs and write copious amounts of Marvel fan-fiction.)(SHHHH it's my life!
)
No promises about being on here more often, but you might see the occasional art from me. Hope you all are doing well!

Apologies to anyone who was waiting on a request. I've been much too busy to draw, and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future.
If I ever open requests again, I will of course let you know, but I honestly don't know if or when that's going to happen.

Back to school

Greetings, comrades!
business first: Requests are closed for a while. School starts next week, so I will be very busy for the foreseeable future. It was fun doing requests for you all! 
I usually re-open requests over Christmas break. (I will let you all know, of course.) Until then, you won't be seeing much of me.
Until then, you won't be seeing much of me.And now, on to personal stuff!
Did a lot of cooking this summer. My sisters are a lot of fun to cook with. We especially had fun when we had to cook 2 flats of strawberries in a week. We've visited the orchard a few times- picked strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and raspberries.
We especially had fun when we had to cook 2 flats of strawberries in a week. We've visited the orchard a few times- picked strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and raspberries.We also went camping in Michigan's upper peninsula (the U.P.) during a freak cold spell- one day it only got up to 55 degrees (Fahrenheit), and it was in the 30s that night! Saw several beautiful waterfalls, sunsets, some mountains, and even a sunrise! And we got to do one of my favourite camping things: roasting Peeps. 
(I love watching their eyes melt.) (They look so terrified! lol)
(I love watching their eyes melt.) (They look so terrified! lol)Unfortunately, I am single once again. Guess I tend to romanticize things... we're still friends though. No regrets!
This is my last year at college!! 
I graduate in the spring!!
I graduate in the spring!!This is both good news and bad news-- it's good news because I am in massive debt because college is too friggin' expensive, so as of May this year, I will stop having to take out loans! It is bad news because 1) I will have to live with my parents for a while until I can afford to live on my own; 2) The unemployment rate for those in my age group is around 25% right now; 3) Six months after I graduate, the entities who loaned me money will start knocking on my door, hands outstretched, an expectant expression upon their various faces.
So, it's a mixed bag, but as long as I can get a job fairly promptly, I should be all right.
In other news, Welcome to Night Vale is awesome.

Sorry if this is a double-post; for whatever reason it did not show up in my journal??
Anyhoo, apologies to those who are still waiting on requests-- I will have them uploaded by the end of the month! But there will not be much art besides that, because I have not been drawing much lately.
That, and I am addicted to Don't Starve.
