VEGETA’S HUMANITY 5 UPDATE 🙀 I have now recorded about a third of the voiceover for the video, and started editing together the footage too! ❤️
And tonight I’ve got taekwondo. I don’t feel very energetic at the moment but I’m going to go anyway! Working out always makes me feel better. Gym bros like Vegeta were right about that I’m afraid
Hi guys! I’ve been putting together the first few minutes of VH5 and it’s going really well! Also my son who was watching the series here and there during the writing process has informed me cell is his favourite and he wants him to ‘beat all of the heroes’ 😭🫠 lol
Hi guys ❤️ Bit of a sombre post today, but something I wanted to share nonetheless.
Last year I was pregnant, during which time I bought an acer from the garden centre - feeling, despite my lack of talent in outdoor gardening, that all was right with the world and the tree would grow along with my baby and bring us all joy. I put the tree in the back garden where it stayed somewhat forgotten about whenever I wasn’t watering it.
Two months into the pregnancy, while making VH2, I sadly lost my baby. Not knowing what to do in the wake of something which made so little sense, we bought another tree as a memorial gesture. I wanted there to be SOME kind of evidence in the world that my baby existed and was loved. We put this tree in the front garden, somewhere I could see it from the living room window every day.
Every day for the rest of the year and right into the spring of the following year, I watched that tree die from the living room window. It lost all its leaves and the spring wasn’t enough to usher it back to life. Each day for months and months the comfort I thought the tree would bring me was replaced with bitterness. I wanted to dig it up, but also didn’t want to GIVE UP on it. Every so often when the urge to dig it up reared its head, I would go out and scratch the bark with my fingernail. Still green. But it hurt my heart to see it so bare for so long.
So one rainy day when the earth was soft, I went out with a shovel and pulled it from the mud. I put it in the bin, feeling the weight of failure but also the lightness of relief, said a prayer and went back inside.
Some time after, I glanced out the back window and saw a bright red baby acer growing out the grass, happy and undisturbed by the cold which had killed the other tree.
The first tree we’d bought had carried on growing without our intervention, without me fussing over it, of its own accord. The space in the front garden may lie empty now, but I see that first acer from my bedroom every day.
All this to say… you never know what’s growing when you’re sitting staring at your pain. Eventually, when you’re ready to stand up and look around a little, you’ll realise life was waiting for you the whole time.
I don’t think the pain will ever go away. I have to live with it. But I also get to live with the love. And I’ll take that time and time again over a life without grief because I’ve learned this grief doesn’t make me an anomaly, it makes me human.
Hi guys! Guess who recorded the first 8 or so minutes of VH5 this morning 💕. It was weird being behind the mic again, but I’ve learned that the only way to get over that weird feeling of not knowing exactly if I’m doing it right, is just to do the thing and hope for the best. And the audio’s looking good so far! Will be posting updates to let you guys know how the process is going :))
Hi guys! I've now finalised the first 37 pages of the VH5 script!!
also I went to my first taekwondo class last night! I hadn't done anything like this since I took karate lessons as a kid and it was really strange being a beginner in something. Also I learned I'm terrible at sit ups! For now... But I left the class really proud of myself for doing something new :D Maybe if I get really good I can talk about fight scenes in a more informed way. That would be super cool. But the main aim is to get stronger. Like Vegeta I won't let being 5,4 hold me back. I will ascend!
hi guys, I know some of you love cat updates, so I thought you'd like to know that Fig is BIG! He is now SUPER FIG 😎 but still acts like a precious baby boy and requests lots of cuddles as you can see.
Hopefully this gave you a smile if you were needing it :).
p.s. I finalised the first 1500 words of the vh5 script today - yay! The first 5 or 10 pages always take me ages to proofread or edit, but it's because I want them to be PERFECT for you all. And striving for perfection is a good thing... right? Much love, Nottacat ❤️
Wow guys, Vegeta’s Humanity 1 has almost 150,000 views!! How should I celebrate? I’m thinking push ups, sit ups and plenty of juice!🧃
I’m so grateful for what this channel has become. I want to go back in time and hug myself and say ‘we made it!’ I really do.
There was a time in my life when I was made to feel my writing wasn’t valuable and that I was too stupid for it to be worth even trying to chase my dreams. I became bitter and nasty and afraid of the world, and that took a long time to shake. I am so glad that in the end I didn’t give up, that I learned to love and be loved again, even though at times it was very hard and I felt a bit like an alien 😅. Maybe that’s why this show means so much to me.
Little by little, I gained the confidence to write about what I love, rather than mould myself into the kind of writer people wanted me to be, and I’m going to strive to keep doing that.
Thank you very very much for your support. It means more to me than you know ❤️. I feel blessed by every nice comment. Knowing that I make some of your days pass easier is a dream come true.
See you in Vegeta’s Humanity part 5! 💪
P.s. for anyone interested, the PO Box is still active. Here are the details :).
If you ever wondered how I fuel my long writing sessions, it’s a combination of yeast extract on toast and TEA ❤️ cause if there’s two things a girl needs to keep going while writing feature length Vegeta rambles its caffeine and b vitamins.
P.s. the writing process for VH5 is almost complete 😘😘😘
This month’s manga roundup should be interesting. Also shout out to whoever recommended Maison Ikkoku to me. It took me months to pick up volume 1 but I finally got around to it!!
Hi guys! For anyone not following me on X, here’s the working thumbnail for VHV! What do we think? I’ve never used Super Saiyan Vegeta for a thumbnail before and thought it was about time
