A life of grey and black and brown burnt away. Tumbling through the palette of an insane artist like a sheep falling through a bramble bush, glimpsing shades you can never, and *should* never see again.

I’ve recently started work on rebooting my old sci-fi setting, Ceres. It’s an odd one to talk about, because so much of that setting was derived from a setting other folks had made–and just like, built on top. A weird situation. This post’ll probably be a lot less formal (which says something) than my other fare, just b/c of the personal nature of it, so bear with me. But I’m bored and felt like writing about it. So. Cope.

Ceres, or Project Ceres as it was originally known, was originally a publicly accessible Minecraft Roleplay Community. Started as Project Horizon and ran by a different team, it was shutdown and restarted by a highschool-age me that managed to bankroll the majority of it on a salary from Wendy’s.

The reboot is closed off, smaller scale–run off discord as a text only thing that I’ve been insanely picky about selecting for. Still in progress, redesigning and streamlining the setting a bunch. It’s a whole ordeal. Been a lot of fun, rediscovering how all that works, though. Getting things sorta…tugged back together. Like visiting an old friend and then promptly taking them out to buy new clothes cause they look a bit ratty. Lots of old writing I forgot about. Stuff that never saw the light of day.
