Grande is an Animanga urban fantasy faction-focused roleplay where most of the roleplay is in the city of the same name, The World City, Grande. Grande is a world where the supernatural exists, Gods do answer prayers, and a world reeling from a war that almost destroyed the world 50 years ago. A place where factions vie for the Grand Leyline, for humanity, and the direction of the planet as a whole.

I write it in Notepad. It's always been a really nice lightweight program with no distractions, and I only ever do posts on desktop, but it's also gotten a lot of love from Microsoft in the last couple of years. You can open up new documents in tabs and it autosaves, so I can just shut off my computer without saving a whole file and it'll be there when I open it next.
this hobby is hard with a full time job. finding time to be active feels near impossible. esp when i don't work from home or can use my phone / work computer for personal matters. and once i'm home... my brain is tired from all it had to do all day.
I've been feeling this real hard. I have a handful of groups I really want to be active on, but I'm struggling to find the time with work and other personal things getting in the way. Weirdly enough I'm finding that being an admin is actually helping me be more active on my own site? I know it's probably because other people are depending on my activity to keep their own stuff going, but I was really worried that would burn me out. Maybe it helps that it's a smaller group, too. Harder to get lost in the crowd.
I enjoy this character. I enjoy this app. I have it all written out in my head. Why then, dear reader, does actually writing it out feel like pulling teeth?
The hardest part of starting a new site is dealing with all the people who show up and leave without making a character. Like, I absolutely bare no ill will towards those people, and I've done it myself, but it hits different when you're just starting out and only have 2 or 3 other players on the site. Also realizing I have no idea how to advertise anymore.
Ohh!! I recently got into Pandora Hearts. I've never seen the anime, but the manga made me full on sob for a day after I finished it. Trying to work up the resolve to start Vanitas one of these days.
i got my ears pierced today, and instructions to wash the piercings with saline solution seem simple in practice, but i can't figure out how to do it :sob:
