ANOTHER THEORY BECAUSE MY FEVER IS MAKING ME GO CRAZY,

A few months back I made a crack theory that noe is somehow connected to the vampire of the blue moon. I also had a theory that noe is older than we beleive him to be, since the Archvisite massacre is always said to of taken place- a long time ago, or a number of years ago. Despite the fact if we go by Noes age it would of only been less than 18 years ago.

So here is my theory- screenshot from my Reddit post in which I figured it out because I'm too lazy to rewrite it

If Noe is older than his age, that gap could be explained by him using too much of his power as a child and promptly falling asleep for a long time. As we know Jeanne also slept for quite a few years, and chloe seems to be going through that right now. So it's not impossiable to beleive the massacre was a very long time ago and Noe simply fell asleep after it. Which would explain why the only vampires who seem to know what an archvisite is by appearance alone, are the older vampires- Ruthvan, Chloe and Count Orlock. Because they most likely would of met an Archiviste when the Archivistes were Active.

As Noe says in Chapter 58, he never met another Archvisitw then he wonders if Chloe had and finishes his thought with "Do I want to know?" Yes. Does he want to know? Because it could absolutely topple everything he beleived till that moment

I wish people would give authors of original fiction the same update grace time they give authors of fanfiction.

A fanfic author says, "sorry I haven't posted much over the past couple years, I've been dealing with severe depression and fatigue," and most people are like, "you poor thing, you're so valid, take your time." Like, yeah, there are jerks, but I see so many posts telling people not to harass fanfic authors over long update times. It seems to be generally accepted that asking "omg when is the next update?!" is rude to do to a fanfic author.

This never seems to be true about original fiction. People constantly bitch that their favorite trad pubbed author is "taking too long" with their next book. George R.R. Martin went on record last year to say that people making "lol he'll die before the next book comes out" jokes make him super uncomfortable, and that's just one example off the top of my head. I've seen similar crappy things said to countless other, less-well-known authors. I've had people ask me "when" -- not IF, but WHEN -- my next book will be finished, regardless of whether I've said I'm even working on something. It sucks.

Y'all know that OC is also hard to write when you're depressed, fatigued, and dealing with the capitalist hellscape, right? Even when it's your main job, writing is fucking hard. Sometimes it feels like people think you only have human limits when you're an amateur artist, and the second you do it for pay, you must get some kind of superpower that negates all your disability, stress, fatigue, and chaotic life events that take time and energy away from creative work.

But it doesn't. It really, really fucking doesn't. I wish I could make art on the timeline people seem to expect, but I just fucking can't, okay?

It's that time of year again when everyone's gonna celebrate a birthday while conveniently ignoring the birthday boy.

Traditionally there are three phases – Apprentice, Journeyman and Master. Of course, social conditions nowadays are radically different from those of medieval Europe. Apprentices no longer sleep behind the stove in their master’s house or work for years without pay. But these stages provide a road map for anyone who wants to become expert. 1. Apprentice. You start by knowing nothing. You watch and copy others, learning to do things as they are already done in your master’s workshop. Responsibility for your work and any mistakes you make lies with your master, and so does any credit for the work you do. 2. Journeyman. You launch your career as an independent expert. You leave your master’s workshop and move around the country. Now you take responsibility for your own work, and you have to deal with the consequences of error. You continue to gain experience, refining and extending your skills and developing your individuality. 3. Master. Finally you set up a workshop of your own and teach others. You pass on your knowledge and expertise to future generations. You do what you can to look after the individuals who are learning from you; you have a sense of stewardship towards your field more widely; sometimes you even take the field itself in new directions. These three phases are a useful way to think about the acquisition of skill. But they are descriptive, not explanatory. They identify points on a path, but they don’t show you how to reach those points or how to know when you’ve got there. They divide the process into segments and treat these as if they were static. They measure what can be measured. But much that is important can’t be measured. There are changes in who you are, not just what you can do. This process may be invisible from the outside. It’s difficult to quantify, and may even go unnoticed from within.
