Tl;dr I have been gayming, making friends IRL, discovered things about my identity, and got into conlanging and tmnt for the past year or so and progress on the atshura remake is very slow bc me being audhd and gayming.
I’m sorry if my writing comes off as pretentious but some of my fans have been wondering why i’ve been inactive for 3 years and my answer is that i’ve been getting my mental health together by making irl friends in my local community, and i have discovered things abt myself, for example i’m xenogender (i dont want to share what specific gender it is bc i fear being made fun of for it) and it turns out i’m a therian (honestly explains why i’d refer to my fursona Lairu w/ i/he pronouns in my head when thinking of scenarios of posting stuff abt him and why i get bothered when i play as humans like in halo multiplayer i hate playing as spartans i just wanna play the alien reptiles i find hot 😭)
About Dura and Atshura:
turns out rushing a worldbuilding and spec evo project is a horrible idea, esp if it’s the first thing you post on a media sharing website and you feel rushed to produce as much as possible and rush it and it has been stressful thinking abt fans who are wondering if i’m ever going to make updates
I have been working on a remake but progress has been very slow due to me being audhd and i’m a gaymer but i will say that there is significant focus on the lathasthar cultures and languages rather than the biology and evolution and i may focus on the human cultures and languages as there’s likely going to be interactions between them (mostly passive observations from the human statations in orbit) but the influences of my past atshura project (the bad one) are as follows: Alien Biospheres by Biblaridion, the Birrin by Alex Ries, and James Cameron’s Avatar if it wasnt obvious enough. Those same influences are still there alongside some new ones and they are: Dog Days (aka Djogawa Djororx in Arodjun) by Agma Schwa. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more influences its just that i cant think of them right now.
My interests overtime:
Also i have been getting into tmnt again (16 y.o me discovered rottmnt bc of donnie’s autism representation (i totally wasn't thinking about why he wasn't being a creep towards april, the lack of missing teeth, and has a comedically sized forehead (i grew up w/ 2012 tmnt and i had a crush on leo when i was 6 so if it wasn't obvious enough i’m a scaile) and then i discovered the show’s queercoding (i’m talking abt leo) and then i watched the saberspark video he convinced me that i should watch it)
Also Also I have been in love with conlanging for the past 1 and a half years or so yeah it’s my current obsession and i find it funny that i got into it from being bored waiting for the next alien biospheres video and watched his feature focus videos and then i discovered agma schwa via the conlang community iceberg videos and now the rest is history.
