Well, first of all. Thank you all for most of 2024. I have had so much fun being back in the community after years, and it's felt mostly like I wasn't away for all that long and also an eternity. Things are different, but better and I appreciate all of you and really sincerely enjoy playing with all of you

I left because I just kept finding myself in abusive situations with other players and it was just not fun any more, and I am so happy to say that my experience now is definitely not that and it's very encouraging and also frustrating that I was gone so long because I was kind of afraid of it happening again? But really, y'all are great and I love you.

ANYWAYS.

Abel is trudging forward, he's got a lot of shit going on, and is busy. He's still kind of struggling with not feeling like he's doing right by Fitz, but he's starting to settle into his pace of slow while also unpacking some of his own shit that is under the closer to the surface things. So he kind of gets it, but that man drives him crazy some times.

Hanna is probably going to graduate in the first quarter of the year depending on what happens. He needs something truly awful happening to him to really drive home his last few points, but he's been doing so well. He was pretty nonexistant around the barge in December, but not being able to go home himself has him a little more driven to graduate.

awww yay

your boyfriend gonna take a while

YAY!

Hanna is going to try and encourage him a little more. Also just because he's graduated doesn't mean he isn't going to be an idiot, so expect shenanigans now that he doesn't have anyone requiring him to tell them when he does shit.

But yeah, I think my goal is to get him graduated by April.
