What has the Ouroboros been up to? by Prostapheresys

It has been a very long time since I posted a proper journal here, and those who watch me have probably noticed my relative silence in here too. So here’s a heavily condensed recap of what I have been up to:



Small achievements – I’ve just surpassed 300 watchers on FurAffinity! Yay! It’s actually a lot I think, since I’m not an active artist posting dozens of furry artworks/stories each month.



Private life – Still struggling to find the will and motivation to finish my university studies, despite being very close to getting my degree in Chemistry. Probably didn’t help the fact that last year both my grandmas passed away, and now my increasingly senile granddad is in constant need for assistance, medical or otherwise, from my mother and family.



Art projects – I have a small backlog of art and stories to publish, so you will soon see new stuff from me ;)
During all this time I was also looking into new and intriguing tabletop RPG systems and started collecting fancy card decks, mostly Tarot! They all gave me plenty inspiration for my various art projects and interests (which are still WIP)



My Toyhouse and available Adopts – My Toyhouse profile is still heavily under construction, mostly because I was either focussing more on making new stuff or doing other things entirely, instead of uploading and updating all my OCs into it >//<
I still plan to do it eventually, if anything to finally put some order on my OC list, sifting it and getting rid of characters I no longer feel connected to. Which brings me to the fact that I still have a few Adopts up for sale/trade, open to negotiate! Click here to check them out!



Retcon notice – While I didn’t update my Toyhouse and OCs much, I have quietly modified with minor changes a few descriptions here and there to reflect my constantly evolving head canon. As such, most of the info previously posted on my other galleries is to be considered no longer reflective of the current canon, and I plan to only keep Toyhouse updated from now on to make things easier on me.
In particular, I no longer plan to finish my (super old) story “The Nokken’s Fiddle” unless I start all over, because too much has changed since I made its first draft. For the curious, the plot originally revolved around a twisted love story between an ordinary human girl, named Sharon, and the notorious creature of the river, the Nokken, who allegedly charms people with the music of his wicked fiddle, luring them into the waters to drown and eat them. The story would have involved mature themes of mind-control and dubious consent among other things, and in the ending, Sharon was supposed to be completely bewitched by the Nokken and be claimed as his spouse, thus turning into a Nokken herself.
However, I’m no longer satisfied with the world I was building around them, and eventually ended up scrapping Sharon’s character completely and selling the female Nokken OC that was supposed to be her new form. Perhaps I was being overly ambitious for what was literally my first story to be published on FA. I’m still quite fond of the male Nokken character though, so he’ll probably become a different OC related with my already existing ones (I’m thinking of a relationship with Glynne, my Glaistig OC, thus making them the parents of Fabian the Capricorn)
