Nonetheless make sure to stay tuned. I think you'll like my take on the canon and how I flesh out Remnant ;)

Okay, so the first chapter's not gonna be up for a while, everyone. But, I've already figured out the structure of the story as a whole more or less, and it's going to be comprised of multiple books to allow for the character development and worldbuilding to be as natural and fleshed out as possible.
          
          I'll be uploading the whole series on AO3, but after the first book is complete I'll crosspost that here and to FF.net as samples.

Bout to rewrite my story all over again
          
          yippee /s

If anyone's wondering why all but the first two chapters of RMM are gone, it's because I'm gonna rewrite those other chapters to tweak Yin's character to better fit the backstory I have in mind for him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the Day of the Vow.
          
          "Now, what is that?" I hear some of you asking.
          
          Well, here's a little story from my people's history:
          
          On the 16th of December 1838, in what is now KwaZulu-Natal Province in South Africa, a great battle took place between less than 400 Christian Voortrekkers and between fifteen- and thirty-thousand Zulu impis, along what thereafter came to be known as Blood River (Ncome in Zulu, Bloedrivier in Afrikaans) because of how red its waters became as a result of the one-sided casualties - hence the event is known as the Battle of Blood River. Pretty badass, right?
          
          Hopelessly outnumbered, and armed with little more than a couple single-shot rifles, the Christians gathered together in a group prayer led by the devout preacher C.A. Cilliers, and vowed that, if He rescued them out of the hands of the great many Zulu warriors they were facing, they would build a church as a monument to the victory He would bestow unto them, and honour that date and day every year amongst themselves and their posterity as a Sabbath day in remembrance of His favour.
          
          And lo and behold, only three Christians suffered mild injuries while, somehow, thousands of impis were decimated before the mightier force fled - and their king Dingane the Usurper was assassinated by those who sought better for their people than his tyranny, allowing for the Christian faith to spread freely amongst the Zulu people.
          
          Today we salute those brave pioneers, and honour our God.
          
          "But why was the battle fought?" I hear you asking. "Weren't these Christians evil white colonialists?"
          
          Nope. Evil is when you murder hundreds of defenseless women, children and old men in cold blood just for existing and passing through your territory. Evil is when you slaughter all your brothers in cold blood save the one you think too pathetic to be a threat to your tyranny over your own people.
          
          And the whole reason the Boers were out there was to *escape* the reach of colonialism, so...

Why does O Come, O Come Emmanual go so hard

Why are so many fanfics written so badly?
          
          Not even just the plots! Like, the punctuation and capitalizing is such absolute shite that it physically HURTS to read them.
          
          And to make it even worse, most of the ones that don't have THAT issue are just narrative-driven Ls with GBTQ+ tacked on at the end. Several are even both!
          
          It's so frustrating to find something actually investing. Something well-executed. Something a normal person would actually WANT from a story about his or her favourite characters besides the source material. Something better than the source material, even, when that's needed!
          
          Maybe that's why I still keep going with this. Maybe a part of me wants to make a difference to it all somehow. Maybe I want spite the degens that embarrass the art of literature by posting something that could be even better and more successful in the long term than they could ever make themselves. Maybe I'm just hoping I can execute the ideas I have better than I've seen other people do it when they have. Maybe it's all of those things at once. I dunno.
          
          But I'll be damned if I let fanfiction keep deserving such a bad rep as it has.

It'd be a really big brain move if the Georgian dub of RWBY has Atlas using the Mkhedruli script while everyone else uses Asomtavruli and/or Nushkuri

Alright, so an update - I'm thinking instead of just abandoning my hobby altogether I just change my writing strategy. Maybe just write a few chapters at a time without publishing them and revise it over time until I'm satisfied enough with what I have to flesh it out. I've just been pretty depressed over the past few days, hungry too - being broke does that to you I suppose. Managed to swallow my pride a bit and ask my dad for some money until one of my job applications sticks a landing - Hopefully eating properly will help my emotional and mental state improve with my cognitive functioning.
          
          Sorry about my meltdown yesterday.

I'm done.
          
          I just don't have the motivation or time to write stories anymore.
          
          I've had all these ideas over the years, and I've never been able to get anywhere with them. I couldn't even make a small profit.
          
          I'm done. No more.
          
          That's it.
