Crime & Regret has finished it's 1st arc!

Is this the wrong blog for it? ...Probably, but WHO CARES!?

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS

 🎉 ME

 🎉 FOR

 🎉 FINISHING

 🎉 THE

 🎉 1ST

 🎉 ARC ! ! !

I mean, I count this blog as my main blog for screaming talking about stuff, so it's fitting. ...I think.

Anyway, I know I bring up this series literally EVERYWHERE I go, but how can I not when it's been something so important and special to me since I was 11??

Plus, I really can't bring up Crime & Regret in real life because:

1. No one cares
2. Why would anyone care?
3. I'm too scared to talk about it freely ??
4. I'm too scared to show it off because wHAT IF MY FAMILY THINKS IT'S TERRIBLE??
5. What if they tell me it's rushed?? Written poorly??? Terrible characters???? 
6. I'm getting anxious just thinking about it, my heart is pounding really fast hhh
7. I'm just sCARED OK

 That's why I'm glad that writing out thoughts of mine is something I can do ^^

But anyway, I started writing this "true" version of the series back on March 9 of this year. (I delayed 
 the blogger release, so it came out on April 9). It's been 8 LONG MONTHS and it's finally out of the 1st arc??

So yeah, it pretty much took almost a year!!

I know I took a long hiatus on April 9 that lasted until August 2, but ever since, I've been working on a chapter each day, so I'm really happy about this!! 
In total, the 1st arc consisted of 14 chapters. I have a LOT of plans for the next (and/or later) arcs, that I'm ecstatic to work on. I've had these ideas since... November of 2017, so yEAH I'M PREPARED!! Took a year, and now I'm here!!!  o(╥∇╥)o


I know I say this all the time, but while I'm mad at my 11 year old self for the old version of Crime and Regret... (go away anime tropes, you're not my Crime & Regret 😠) I really am grateful for her creating these characters. There isn't really a trace of the old them left (aND THANK GOD FOR THAT😤) but this series never would have started / become a huge part of my life if it weren't for the original concept. 

I mean, I create new stories sometimes. And yeah, I love my characters in them. But it just feels different in comparison?
This series really does just, ugh this probably sounds so cheesy, but, IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY BECAUSE I'M SO PROUD???
I'm so proud of how far I've come with these characters. And I absolutely love it?? I really do love it on the same level as all of my other obsessions/favorite things. Like VOCALOID. 

I don't even know why, but it just makes me so happy. I think about it sometimes, and juST FEEL LIKE CRYING TEARS OF JOY. 
It's not the same feeling I get from wanting to sob in shame because the original concept was such a piece of absolute trash.
It's because I legitimately love this Crime & Regret. It makes me that happy.

It's so hard to explain and put into words, but I really can't be thankful enough for this existing, and I made it myself.
I probably sound so corny right now but I had to get it out somehow. 😅

To end this long post off, I just want to say thanks to any of you who have/are reading it, because just knowing that someone likes this true version of the series makes me so happy ahaha 😂


I hope you can continue to support Crime & Regret, and it's 2nd arc!
