"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Restoration :: We Welcome the Dawn ☼ - 9/21/13 - The sun has finally risen on this day, giving the land new light, but the Time God and the Sun God have yet to be seen.
Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

Character of the Month for
June, 2017
WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

I've gotten worse over the last week, just in a matter of days. Things picked up for maybe one day??? Then went right back downhill.
I'm currently having very sudden spells that last for about fifteen to twenty minutes each where I pass out, get extremely weak and can barely walk, or can't get myself to stay alert and pay attention to things.
This morning in oceanography, I blacked out sitting straight up and didn't come to til I was falling out of my chair mid-lecture.
One of my teachers suggested I get tested for mononucleosis and I'm going to talk to my aunt about it tomorrow because I'm in no situation to take chances.
Sorry guys. My life is quite literally running me into the grave right now.

On absent due to school
School has been driving me into the grave and keeping me busy, but good news is I'm passing all my classes!
I'll only attempt posts on weekends due to time matters and lack of energy.

My last day of the fall semester is December 9th, and I have til then to get in as much late work as possible to pull up my grades.
This week alone I've got two essays to write, need to rewatch two movies to take notes over them, and learn a poem and be able to recite in it in a different language(something i really suck at too)
I can't even turn an eye towards Helovia without being reminded of school and going straight back to working.
This weekend is a possibility for posts but I can't make a promise. It all depends on how much I get done this week.

I've decided to own up and admit the reason I can't even think about writing a post as of these last few weeks.
Finals put a lot of stress on my brain and mental health, and the sudden let go of school and constant socialization(pretty severe introvert here) pushed it over the edge. My schizophrenia is absolutely insane and I'm paranoid about EVERYTHING that makes a noise that I can't see and things I can't see completely and think are there.
It's affecting my drive to do things, leave my bedroom, sit down and do extensive tasks(like writing replies), therefore I haven't been able to do much.
School starts up for me on the fourth and I'm going to try and ease back into things (probably not)gracefully with Zhu and try to get those replies done once I'm back to normal.
Up until I feel sure of my mental health and get back into a working state again, posts are going to be very slow and sluggish.
Apologies. All of this is very bothersome for me and I'd like to put my personal health in front of my work load.
absent for the next few days.
I'm in and out of panic and anxiety attacks again and really need the time to relax over the next few days with as minimal expectations as possible.
Might come online but it's mostly to check tags and stuff and nothing else

Extending this with a busy.
Mental health isn't getting any more stable that I'd like to be and after getting yelled at suddenly with no warning I'm back at the same place all over again.
I've got so many posts needing replies right now that I don't think it's really that smart to let them wait any longer.

Going on absence for sickness
Came home from a field trip today and slept for five hours straight and starting to get really weak with a nasty headache and having been feeling not so great since
Subject to change because tomorrow i'm gonna beg my life away to not be forced to stay with a family member i already have bad issues with and if all goes well i might get to stay home
Super busy because graduation and prom are coming up and school is wearing me down with all this rushing
My last day is May 13th but I have graduation on the 21st.
Guaranteed absence from May 27th/28th to June 13th/14th as I'll be spending some time up in NYC with my long distance gf.
Onto to the sad truth of my longer than usual absence:
I don't feel like writing. I don't feel like I have the motivation to sit down, to think out posts, to fit them into words. I feel like I don't have the same muse and connection I used to have with my characters. It's terrible. I'm holding myself back from throwing all of my characters in AA because I feel like it'd be a betrayal to them and all the people I've got threads going with.
It's breaking my heart, but I'm taking a break. I leave on the 27th for NYC and while I'll be taking my laptop with me, I don't know if I can push out posts during that time.
I promised myself to get posts out in the time between graduation and leaving, but it's not working at all. I need to focus on money(in a really desperate situation right now with it) and less on magical ponies that have stolen my heart and soul over the last 7 years.
Can't say if this is a hiatus or not, but if I'm not through it by the time I leave, I'll be putting my characters in AA over the time that I'm away.

SAME OLD SHIT EVERY TIME.
After being the rudest person imaginable and telling my neighbor(who i agreed to take care of his plants and pet while he was out) that we were going to be home this weekend, she changed it.
Also while being fully aware I could start a full time job on sunday.
So here's the same old drill. I'm homeless for a few days and will be gone from tomorrow night to sometime sunday. I'll flip the absent thing on for when I leave.
For future reference, I'll also be homeless for these following days(yay fucking me):
July 1st - July 4th
July 11th - July 23rd
The July 23rd one is questionable on extension because there's around a 75% chance I won't have an actual good, mentally stable place to go for it and might take more mental tolls with it.
In short terms: depression is back and worse than ever. Looking for a place to stay desperately. Trying to find a way to move 1200 miles.
I don't know what else to say. I have no motivation. I have no want to do anything other than just cry and hope for the best.
Nirvana and Zhu will be in AA. Faelwen will stay out in case she's born. Sikeax will stay out in case I find my will for anything again before I have no home for two weeks.
Please don't message me on Skype, deviantart or on here about plots. Yes, I know they're there. Yes, I want to keep my involvement. No, I don't have the energy to do it. No, I do not want to have to listen you to try to cancel it on me because I have my own things. It doesn't help at all and honestly I don't want to put up with it this time.
Only one matters strongly as of the second and for the people involved you know who are you sre.
