TW: Mentions of abortion and suicide (from a soul) 

Writer's block is an absolute asshole. 

(This is the shameless vent section, we'll resume our normal programming in the next paragraph) It's been a bit of A Week here, and this morning I found out that the whole extra week that I thought I had to wrap up this 'season' of Hells Belles on TikTok, as well as get my ducks in a row for going on 'vacation', didn't actually exist. I learned that we're driving up tomorrow and going from there. In the spirit of honesty I have found myself completely unenthused about spending time on the boat this summer for a variety of reasons, and having the whole thing sprung on me with no time to prepare hasn't helped. 

I am going to try and enjoy what I can as best I can, but I'm really worried that spending time with my parents in a very small, confined space will take a toll on my ability to craft a good story. I'm going to give it my damndest, but if I have to bail on Actual Plot and give you guys some fun/fluffy/sexy one shots, I apologize in advance. 

As always, I look forward to your comments if you feel like making them! Enjoy!

Feel free to creat no content at all, or just scream into the void with us if that’s what need this week. Having your schedule abruptly changed is a bitch! Good luck!

Julie McJunkin

One shots are fun and a great way to lessen the stress of expectations. Do what you need to do for you. We'll be here.

Carrie Brooks

Vacation is for summer reading, which is mindless, occasionally plotless, fiction. I presume that transfers over into writing. In other words, don’t stress about plot on top of stressing over vacation and all that’s going on. Personally, I like “slice of daily life” stuff, and the Belles childhood stories are fun! And who says you only have to write HB? Pretty sure we’ll devour any and everything you post!

Anij Walker

This is the best birthday I've had! Especially since there is a book update!

Amy Camila

When does lily tell bel that she wants to stay permanently? But I absolutely loved this chapter 💜💜💜

Trish Ramey

Take all the time you need. No one is going anywhere. Loved this chapter, but definitely gave me anxiety. If this was a fully finished book, I would be on to read the next chapter because who needs sleep? 😆

Kristiane Laucht

Love Lily just casually dragging Lucifer like that, though I have to agree with her, he is obvious. Brilliant chapter, love the little family moments, the dashes of spice, and the blanket of love the whole thing is wrapped in.

Caz

Well that was an intense chapter! I held my breath through the last part. Fantastic as always

Charles Plaine

Fantastic chapter. I hope you find some joy in your travels, and that you feel no pressure from us. We value you so much more than the content you make for us.

Rayna Kenawell

Ah the cliff hanger! Even more excited for the next part. I loved the memo and Lev! And the pinky promise. Stay safe and try to have some fun, even with family closeness!

Peter Psareas

I almost made it without crying. The come home to us got me. I know from TT that Bel comes back but still. I am also really pissed at a universe I know nothing about. That’s how good you are. On a personal note I hope you have a great vacation. Remember to check in your glass before drinking

JustSurvibing

Ahhh so nervous for our loves but I love all the little details in this and the further characterization of Lev with the hug and Luci bringing Sharkie to meet up with Lily and Bel.

Samantha Johnson

Even the ones shots are awesome so we'll be fine. Enjoy what you can and preserve your sanity as best as you can. And this chapter? Beautiful, the family send off and the hair braiding. You are an amazing writer.

Kim Bowie

Page 2, I think you wrote felt when you probably meant dealt? I only noticed that one because it made my brain stutter. Other than that, AWESOME!

Laura Rennhack

Oh Shit You're gonna make me cry, aren't you!!

Kat 💜

You take care of you. Whatever content you post, or none at all, is perfect to us. We only want you to be well and happy. We are always here. I love this chapter. Lev, bless him. He needed that hug. The pinky promise 💜 Also... don't think I didn't notice the mention of Level Nine 😈

Kate C

I get the frustration of plans getting on you, do what you can when you can, it’s all good…now to hopefully give you a smile, you know that you’ve found an author with serious talent when you can read a simple chapter and your heart is pulled in so many ways, the depth of fear of the unknown, the anger at a cruel soul, the small smile when the memo is brought back up…you my dear, are talented

PunisherLuv

You've truly represented the heart of the moments saying goodby and sending a loved one off the an uncertain battle.

Hannah Kuracina

I was tearing up by the end. Love this little family.

Carrie Brooks

What a great chapter to wrap up volume 1 of FWTBT with! I loved the quiet, centered-ness of their family at the end. Lily braiding Bel’s hair. Luci and Lily. Bel and Sharkie. Sharkie’s unquestioning faith in Bel. Pinkie promises.

Thomas Forrest

The fact that you were able to write this immaculate chapter while battling the ever present demons of life AND writer’s block is amazing and awe inspiring. Not that I’m not always impressed with your work, but for real: you have such talent! I love the character expansion of Lev, as well as the new ever changing family/relationship dynamic between Lily, Bel, and especially Sharkie! I’ve never been too picky with what I get in chapters, whether they are slice of life-y or if they are chalk full of character development, but this chapter did great at giving us both all wrapped up nicely! I can feel the tension mounting just like the demons, and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Now, as far as your personal life stuff goes, all I can say is to not worry about us. You have already won all of us over with what you have graced us with thus far. I know you feel like you have to constantly churn out content to keep all of us happy and satisfied, but know that all of us will be happy no matter what we get, or when we get it! Take all of the time that you need. You and your health and well-being are always the most important thing, no matter what. Make sure to take care of yourself!

Elle

If you want to post, great, if you don't great! You deserve to have your own time away. Enjoy sunsets and sunrises for us!

Phil Mangefrida

The musical score popped in my head from “And Rohan Will Answer.”

Kristiane Laucht

I've said I before and I'll say it again. One must be careful with the being known as Kat💜, for she can be summoned with a mere mention of her greatest desire.

Kristiane Laucht

It was the "Go do General stuff" that got me. The unbridled optimism, confidence, and belief that Sharkie has in Bel? Ooof! Especially since we know Jaysea isn't afraid of absolutely dragging her characters through it, kicking and screaming, so I'm kinda just waiting for Bel to really get roughed up, so all 3 of the family have a huge serving character development.

Carrie Brooks

Just to make sure you don’t miss what we’re saying, Jaysea, your internet family loves you! While we do adore the content you produce, you, as a person, are so, so much more important. Our expectation is that you will prioritize your own health, well-being, sanity, and healing over any obligations you may feel towards posting content. Okay, hon? Drop us a virtual postcard every so often, and we’ll see you when you get back! 🥰

pidge

Haven't ready this chapter yet but I wanna say that anything you can produce is not gonna be short of amazing, you always knock your content out of the park! And if you can't get any writing or videos out, that's also okay!! Do what you need to do to keep happy (and sane lol) :)♡

Jeff James

1. I can see where the writer's block comes in. This would have been "hell" 😁 to write. 2. Take the time you need. We will be here waiting when you get back. If you write a "fluff" piece, so be it. BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO WRITE OR FILM ANYTHING. We will be waiting patiently (maybe?) for the next chapter and video when YOU decide to post it.

Maida

Loved the part about how printers in the mortal never work cause it's SO TRUE. Lovely chapter with bittersweet tension and love throughout. Good luck with the unexpected chaos! One shots are not a conciliatory prize, that actually sounds amazing 😁

Victoria Ziobro

Loves the chapter and I love your one shots!! If you do them great if not then we’ll see you when you get back. Enjoy your trip, relax, recover, and have fun!!!! ❤️❤️😊

Tiffany Nolan

Sweetie don’t worry about content, we will all still be here waiting. You need you time, maybe just make yourself notes on what you want but don’t worry about actual content. Thank you this chapter it was fabulous even with the writers block. The way you have everyone so captivated that we all feel the feeling and shed the tears, feel the nervousness and even get mad at the souls shows just how amazing you are at what you do.

Autielin_the_witch

Writers block is a bitch. But I still love this chapter. sometimes u need a chill one to move on to more plot filled chapters. It’s the chill ones I really like because just having the characters be is nice. It’s a peace before the big plot and drama hits. Which is also fun.

Annika Corbijn

🥺okay I’m only forgiving that cliffhanger because the tiktok series tells me Bel survives. And despite knowing that, I’m still nervous, now THAT is a bad ass writing skill. Good luck on holiday with your folks, that’s always an…interesting experience as an adult 😂 Focus on surviving mostly sane and don’t worry about churning out content. We’ll be waiting for the good stuff when you’re ready!

Peter Psareas

I often go back to rewatch or reread. The sounds still crack me up especially the baked bean and the straightest thing Angel did. Do Jayden enjoy vacay we have plenty to occupy us until you get back

Leslie Hoggan

Actual plot or fun/fluffy/sexy one shots? I'm glad I don't have to decide, the only decision I ever want to make is if I'm having coffee today, the answer is always YES. Seriously whatever you can do we will happily accept. The fun/fluffy/sexy one shots might give my tear ducts a chance to recover. Be well, be safe, be happy and above all be your amazing self.

Tyler Davie

My gods, Prints Charming! Also, how did you make me cry with a single line of dialogue?

Brian

I feel your pain. I love my family, but anything past 48 hours requires alcohol and or weed. Make so.e off plot shorts to vent family frustrations.

Anjuli

I should know better by now - never read a chapter before bed! I love the day to day stuff. Would love to see more Sharkie - maybe because I identify the most with them. Don’t worry about spitting out content all the time. Everyone deserves a vacation and to not be stressed about work while on it. We will be here when you get back. You might want to mention it on TT that you are taking a vacation for a few weeks so those not on Patreon don’t freak out if you decide to take a break. Have fun, take lots of pictures, and relax. We will see you when you get back. Enjoy!

Van Brewer

Another great chapter. This really illustrates another aspect of your maturation as a writer - pacing. Of course the point of writing a story is to write about the interesting stuff, but the interesting parts are tied together with life. This was a great way to give context and depth to the really major developments of the past few chapters, which had a lot of emotional heavy lifting. Plus, it shows good attention to detail that you devote the energy to turn Lev from a simple archetype into a three dimensional character. I also really liked the French braiding imagery, that seems like something that could become a sort of departure ritual. By the way, writers block is a definite professional hazard in your line of work! When you’re self-employed, I think there’s really not a thing called time off. You determine your schedule, and you can take advantage of the flexibility that gives you. That helps keep you sane, which means you keep writing, which makes all your followers happy. You pour so much of yourself into your creations, and further, you are far better than many authors about staying in touch with your followers. That’s part of why your followers are unanimous in their support for you taking some mental wellness time. That’s especially true when you may need a vacation to recover from the vacation. I hope you will take the time to do nothing, or do something you love, or do something completely new. Your last hiatus seemed like a time when some things came together for you; perhaps some time in a different environment will give you space to reflect as well. Your creations have value, and they are valued; they have meaning beyond great narration of a great story. You don’t have to earn the right to take care of yourself, but you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Be well, and (hopefully) have fun!

My husband is in the Army. I was a Marine, years ago. So this made me cry, and I'm going to go cuddle my husband when I'm done writing this. Thank you for making military families feel seen. (Can't enter for a new line on mobile, so this is what you get) Now, as far as the abrupt vacation goes, omg I have been there and feel. That. For what it's worth, don't worry about us here. Fluff? A-okay. Slice of life? 20/10. The hot tub short you posted before? Immaculate. If you take a break from the main story and just give us fun side bits, I'll giggle over them every time. And if you take an *actual* break and, you know, endure (or, fingers crossed, end up enjoying) vacation with your parents and boat time, I think I speak for all of us when I confidently say that we'll be here. I just compiled all the previous chapters into one pdf, so I'm going to add this one and print it out for beach reading. I have to do my quarterly re-watch of the entire Hell's Belles cinematic universe. Honestly, I'm booked 😜 Enjoy your vacation, Jaysea. I hope you have a great time!

HillArias

I love the quiet family moments! I hope you can find a similar peace during you family vacation.

Tina

Ahhhh…the family vacay. Extended time in a confined space makes for some “interesting” conversations. 72 hrs is usually my limit. Hopefully you have a good time. As for fluff? Bring it on 🙂

Ashley

Good luck on the family vacation. I know that it can be stressful especially in a confined space with very little privacy. I'm getting ready to do the family vacation myself and I will be honest, my nerves are fried. Try to enjoy it and make as many memories as possible! As for fluff, hell yea!

Nicole M

I love the sweet slice of their family life and Sharkie's pinky promises. I hope your vacation goes better than anticipated and you get some nice relaxation.

Ginny susi

Good luck on the family vacation. Husband and I have been doing repair work on our family vacation house for the last two weeks because my parents are the opposite of handy. Loved the chapter. When you get published someone's going to tell you to make more happen in this chapter. Go with it and see what the rooms down that far look like. It seems like a world building moment while she's braiding.

Anna Warren

I hope you can lean in and enjoy the vacation this was beautifully written and handled with the tricky subjects with care and grace as always

Stuart Grosse

Writer's block is rough. One thing I've found that helps in my own career as a writer is that, when I'm getting blocked, I put the story down, and write something else. Maybe just a chapter, or a thought experiment, or whatever. Write something else, get into a different head space. A lot of times, writer's block stems from getting paradigm locked. You are too stuck in, and can no longer see the forest for the trees. Breaking out of that, by writing something completely different, forces you out of that head space, and when you come back to the project, you're looking at things with fresh eyes.

Veronica Gordon

Enjoy family time! Another well written chapter, the slice of family moment was perfect ❤️

Devilcat

The casual comment from Luci, go have lunch with your family. Oh my god. I also understand Lev’s need for paperwork. And structure. A few typos but not bad. I’m really bad at the giving feedback on that so that’s a first attempt. I also understand writers block, not sure if academic writers block is the same, but I usually just pace in circles until I think of something.

Judy Sullivan

In the conversation with Lev, there’s a line about the demons at the gate. I think it’s supposed to say “dealt with the souls”, but it says “felt”. Made me snort, but I don’t it’s that kind of line….🙃 I love this chapter. The way Luci acknowledges how well things are going, Lev’s welcome memo, prepping for her “inevitable “ reincarnation, and especially Sharkie with the pinkie swear. “Go do General stuff” this week yourself. Have a vacation. Write if you feel like it. Don’t if you don’t. I hope you do get to relax a little. I hope it’s more fun than not.

love-bookswillbetheendofme

Love this chapter! Lev letting Lily in had me in my feels! I love how the Afterlife is treating Lily! Just a quick note, in the second or third paragraph it says "mug look" instead of "smug look". That's the only one that jumped out at me. I understand how stressful family vacations can be. I hope you'll be able to make some good memories on your boat! <3

Lesley Finnie

I loved that, Ive loved everything youve written so far but Sharkies pinky promise brought tears

C Williams

I know Bel is still with us, but that goodbye....damn.

Ben Preheim

Aw man...my heart. As an IT Professional, "Prints Charming" made me giggle.

Terasa Dower

As a writer myself I totally understand the annoyance of writers block.

Rachel Davis

omg sososososososososososo good

May Barros

Never apologize for making use of fun/fluffy/sexy filler episodes, those are the best XD

Kali Chamberlain

❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Luci is such a softie! And the love of pinky promise is just yes!

Audrey

I love the relationship between Lily and Lucifer. And Luci and Sharkie is so cute ! Why am I so anxious for Bel, I know he’ll be back and I’m still worried ! Thanks for a great chapter yet again !

Claire Moores

Don’t worry about crafting a good story for the present. Look on this as a time to care for you. The crafting will come in it’s due time. One or two more things (producing Hell’s Belle’s videos and writing stories) putting pressure on you is not what you need. I hope I speak for most of your followers in saying we care for you as much as your stories. Sending love. And a virtual pry par to unstick your writer’s block. It’ll also be useful for venting frustration. Just channel Sharkie as necessary

Becca Brewster

Make sure you make your mental health your priority. Take care of yourself!!

HillArias

The almost Karen soul reminded me so much of Penny’s mom! Don’t stretch yourself too thin; try to relax when you can.

Castiel Rin

NEVER apologize for sexy one-shots!!

Sunita Buddhu

I can’t wait until you make this a book!!❤️❤️❤️

RAZ

I’ve been watching this series for a long time and never knew you were writing this. I binged everything on ao3 before coming here for the rest. I love this so much. I would absolutely buy a published version of this. I’d buy a whole series following these characters or even just a written version of your videos. You are awesome ❤️

Dalton Quallen

I love all of these and have read them SO MANY times but they get me every time. I loved Lilly realizing lev’s affection being different than hers because I’ve had almost the exact feeling with some friends who showed it differently than touch like I use. I always imagine Bel being similar to me where any time I walk past friends I’ll tap their shoulder or sides where they’re comfortable with just as a little “I’m here with you” idk if you imagined that for him but I thank you for making a character that’s both badass and vulnerable

Charlie T

WHAT THE HELL?! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AND YET I DON'T WANT IT /pos /lh /nm

Monique

I’m so nervous for Bel. I know everything will be okay but still, it’s tense. I love their little family.

Marloes

THE MEMO. I'm having such a (platonic and aromantic) crush on Lev ❤️

PunisherLuv

im wondering if Lev is still in world did Penny get the same Memo when she and Greggels started their tryst in his office

Ashley Poindexter

After rereading this chapter, I would love to read a bit more about what Lev was like when the demons were younger. Was he just as preciously awkward as I imagine him to be? I really hope so 🥹🥹

Dalton Quallen

Not gonna lie the tail around the leg bit would make me fold like a cheap lawn chair. I love every bit of this and your writing thank you!!!!

Moonie Owl

The more Lev appears on the story The more I love him 💚

Laure

If i hadn’t seen Hells Bells I would be freaking out right now that something bad was going to happen. And every pinky promise makes me cry.
