About this image
Never thought I'd say it, but here we are: I finally sorted the scribblings! The ultimate sloth sat down and actually worked on her gallery. I don't know what possessed me – maybe I should lie down for a moment.
Honestly though, after I've reached the magical one hundred, I thought about this site a lot. I thought about all the long breaks I've taken throughout the years without even saying goodbye and the horrors that were happening during said breaks. I thought about you all, welcoming me back despite the months of ignoring you. I thought about my mess of a gallery, a place of mystery and terror, hiding secrets even I cannot fathom (because I don't remember them). And, finally, I thought about all the people who wish to read the scribblings from the beginning, but have no idea where the beginning actually is. These people pop up here and there from time to time, in the comment section or messages, trusting that the scribblings' author herself would point them in the right direction. The problem is, there is no beginning to the scribblings. It's all random as heck. When I uploaded the very first image, all these years ago, I was a depressed little girl on the verge of a breakdown who desperately needed to fill her time with something, anything that could occupy her mind long enough to chase the demons away. Any thought I had, any silly little concept was promptly put into words and images simply because there were darker thoughts, darker concept lurking behind the corner. Little has changed since that day and my stories are still random – but now at least this chaotic spiderweb of thoughts and characters is here, in one place, sorted thematically. I omitted some of the uploads, including the very first one, due to them being extremely short or not being a story at all.
Anyway, here you go. Now there's a method to the madness. And pink font is a part of that method.

Thanks for commenting - everything here is a labour of love. Or deep affection, at the very least.
Sloths can do exhaust themselves in their 6 hours of waking time
Today I've learnt I'm literally a sloth!
Now, through the links, you can admire all your works that you have uploaded over time.
really great.
It's been a lot of work, but I had to do that at some point
Big compliment again at this point.
Thank you for this, Kayol!
I can't speak for other authors here, but the reason why I didn't want to bring any kind of structure to my scribblings in the first place was fear of becoming too attached and, as a result, conceited. You know, something along the lines of, "Hurr durr, 'tis I, the greatest author of them all, and here are my gems of literary genius, sorted according to the characters' appearance, theme, mood, and the colour of fedora I was wearing while writing them! I'm an intellectual. Bloobity-doobity bloop. Quite." You know, this kind of thing. Then I've realised that compiling the stories is simply a nod to the people who are awesome enough to read them. Just a little something to make the reading easier. Hence, this compendium.
Thanks a bunch! I hope I will be able to care for them properly from now on - for myself and out of respect for all the people who read them (like you!).
This is exactly why I made this compendium, so that the people who are gracious enough to spend some time in my gallery could have a little bit easier time finding what they want.
