#Awesome writing I hope you are proud because you deserve it

My grandpa is soon 91 years old. He has lived through so many events, but it has not broken down his spirits.
He is the coolest man I have ever known, and my twin. We both love to write, history, titanic and have a wide imagination. "Nothing is impossible, it just takes a little time", he has told me since I was a little kid. We spent hours in his work shop, creating guillotines, titanic lifeboats, bastilles, royal carriages and whatnot. Whenever I wanted to create something, he was there with ideas and material. He writes poems for every birthday, Christmas and graduation (where he also writes songs)
He lived in Haparanda, and on the other side of the river was war, ww2. He saw it close. On his 12th birthday, may 8th, Germany surrounded its military forces to the allies, and there was peace in Europe. He said that it was the best birthday present he ever had.
My grandpa is awesome. He did the Vasa-lopp (a 90km skiing race) multiple times, one time behind our current king. I think that if you Google it, you'll find my grandpa in the background<3 One time, he got up at 4 am to help my mom with a news paper round, while not getting a single penny himself. He has told me so many fun stories about his childhood, that I one day hope to pass onto my children.
Why am I telling you this? Recently, my grandfathers health has been declining, and I want people to know what this amazing man, that I am proud to call my grandpa, exists somewhere in this little country. Even if you don't know who he is, I want you to know about him, because he's a person that is deserved to be known♡

A Fernando Alonso x driver!reader Insta AU Series
A/N: As a disclaimer: I actually don’t mind Haas (Nico is the loml), so I don’t know why or when I decided to hate on them in this fic. I did not go into writing this thinking I would. It just kind of happened. Also, please excuse the bad “Competitors” graphic. It is 12:18 a.m. I am not doing too hot. 
Anyways, please enjoy! This parts mostly to establish who Y/N is (besides you ofc), then we’ll get into the better stuff :). Let me know your comments/questions/concerns after you read it, or if you want to be added to the taglist for the series!

user202: FINALLY y/n is getting out of that shit team
fanaccount1: as much as i support her, i’m sorry to see her leave haas. they did everything they could for her and she just goes to another team once her contract expires.
user014: she’s under no obligation to stay with them. she proved her worth and she’s smart to go to another team that isn’t underfunded. she had the team’s first podium seven years
user837: just another woman ruining something men created 🙄
fanaccount2: excuse me?? obviously, you’re not very educated in this sport that “men created,” because if you were, you’d know that y/n is one of the best up and coming drivers since forever. last year, she got eighth in the drivers’ championship in a haas. a HAAS. and she won the f2 championship the year before that. once she gets into mercedes’ far superior car she’ll finally be able to receive the results she deserves.

fanaccount7: Everyone saying she’ll be champion when (1) Max is still on the grid and (2) she has drove literally one race for Mercedes. Nobody can predict how the season will play out yet; there simply hasn’t been enough time to see how comfortable all the drivers are in their cars and how they interact with each other.
user455: interact with each other? their jobs are to win. it’s given that everyone will be competitive, so i think it literally just comes down their car and the risks they take. the reason lewis, max, and even schumi were so dominant is that they happened to drive for the team with the most powerful car, and they were willing to go as close to the corners as possible/be super aggressive with other drivers.
but, in the end, i agree with you. i don’t think we can see what’s going to happen in the end yet. personally, though, i think y/n can place higher than she did last year if she keeps doing what she’s doing.

I really like your poly141 story, great job!! I know u said u like happy endings. I kinda hope that the happy ending is reader alone? Like reader being fulfilled and happy without the boys? They don’t deserve reader!!! Bro you’ve got me heated over these fictional dudes lol. I’m just mad at them for treating reader like shit, unintentionally or not, and only acting different because they know they’ve been shitty. Wait actually isn’t that what people are supposed to? Change their behavior and learn from their mistakes? Do I want a redemption arc or reader being fulfilled alone??? LOL jk it doesn’t matter what I want. And I know whatever way you continue your story is gonna be awesome!! I will eat it up!! And I am a sucker for a happy ending, too 🤭 so I’m looking forward to what u do. Anyway great job, ur such a talented writer!! U should be proud!! 💗
(I’m not pressuring you to end your story a certain way or take it in a certain direction!! I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking about your story a lot and I like it very much!! Great job!! Much love!!)
I lowkey might just write an AU because a LOT of people want reader to move on. Which I get. Or might write it and leave it open ended so they can decide. I don't like writing endings like that (I am a "and they lived happily ever after" girlie)

well, the new year is in a bit depending on where the fuck you are.
but what is everyone’s hopes for next year?
mine is much of the same,
“plz no more epidemic of the sars2”
“Plz can we have peace in our lifetime as promised by everyone”
“Plz can the government stop being bad”
“I hope crypto and NFT’s go defunct without people losing their life savings”
And probably shit tons of crying.
this year has been awful!
the next one we haven’t yet seen.
but I wish everyone a happy new year. (Tho Chinese new year isn’t until later, I can’t wait for it!)
let’s hope this one is marginally better!
Yay, 🎉 (:celebration emoji)

“Sometimes being in your arms is the only thing which helps.”
Pairing: Aspiring Music Producer!Yoongi x n.Reader
Genre: established relationship!AU, f2l!AU, Angsty Fluff
Warnings: Yoongi is sad and needs a hug :(
Wordcount: 1k
a/n: i wanna give him all the hugs in the world :(
Tumblr media
Yoongi had a dreadful day today. It was awful, truly terrible. He went straight for a bath after coming home and didn’t leave the bathroom for two hours. You could even hear very faint sniffles from behind the door if you listened closely, but asking if he wanted company didn’t convince him to open the door for you. So you stayed outside, working your booty off to prepare his favourite meal.
Yoongi ate said meal with oversized clothes hiding every glimmer of his body shape and his nose way too rosy. But even asking him if he wanted to talk didn’t convince him to tell you more. He merely said that it "was one of those days", which you only believed partially. 
It was later in bed when you see Yoongi again. He spent the rest of the evening locked up in his home studio and refused to leave it. You could hear his television running however, which let you know that he needed to be alone without further questions.
But now it was time for bed and Yoongi is standing in the doorway, looking so small from all the weight on his shoulders.
"What's wrong, baby?" you ask him.
"I'm sorry for being such a cunt", he presses out and sniffles.
"What do you mean? You’re not a cunt", you say, placing your phone aside.
“I’m sorry for locking myself up.”
“Hey no. Come here baby, let's talk in bed."
Yoongi hurries to you in big waddles, crawling on top of the bed and your lap. He plops down with all his weight, wrapping his arms around you tightly as his face disappears in the crook of your neck.
“It’s okay baby, I understand. You just needed some alone time”, you assure him.
He nods his head.
“But I can’t help but be really worried, love. Do you want to tell me now what is bothering you?” you ask him, scratching his back soothingly.
“They disapproved all of my songs a-and then, then I found out that, that t-they stole one of my drafts”, Yoongi whimpers quietly, “I, I was so sad all the day a-and then this happened a-and now, now I want to keep c-crying.”
Yoongi was working as an up-coming music producer in a big record label. The hours were long, pay was miniscule and the hierarchy mindset was toenail-curl-worthy awful. You want something better for him because he deserves the brightest world ever, but you wouldn’t tell him that. Not yet at least, not when he finally landed a job in the music industry after years and years of looking – hoping – for one. 
“What the fuck? This is awful, I’m so angry right now. Who stole your song? Who said that to you? I'll fight them to the death”, you say, hugging him so, so tightly.
“Jeonyung did. A-and now he's denying it. I'm so hurt. I'll never write music again.”
“Hey no!” you shake him softly, “don’t say that. Jeonyung is such a crusty, talentless man and you are the most talented producer I know. Don’t let this butthole steal your passion.”
“It's just feels so hopeless. All my songs suck a-and then the one I’m, I’m proud of gets stolen”, he says and sobs into your neck.
“I know baby, god I know. But not all is lost. I promise you, you’re so talented baby. I’m sure you can fix what was wrong about those songs and your boss will see that this isn’t Jeonyung’s song but yours.”
Yoongi lifts his head, looking at you with his puffy, teary eyes 
“You t-think so?"
You dry his tears, making him close his eyes because it felt so very good to have you caress his cheeks and eyelids.
"Of course I do. I’ve heard his songs before and even a deaf person would figure out that he couldn’t possibly write something as awesome as you.”
“You really think so?”
“Of course I do! Hey”, you nudge him softly, “I'm your number one biggest fan and I believe in your success.”
Yoongi blushes, lowering his head shyly.
“Thank you”, he whispers.
You have loved Yoongi ever since he was sixteen and still wore glasses to school. You have known Yoongi ever since he was nine and ate sand in the park as you played sandcastle war together. And you have known that Yoongi will always be the one ever since you were nineteen and watched him study for his university exams.
Yoongi played basketball in high school while you played tennis. Yoongi also played the piano while you played the guitar. Yoongi was awful in math, but you were worse. You were amazing in history, while Yoongi always napped. Yoongi was amazing in music theory, while you often times struggled to keep up. And you were both best of your class in literature. Which was not a flex, as the classes' average was a D. 
You fell in love during high school but didn’t dare to date for the longest time. You went to graduation prom together, but only as friends. You became roommates in college, but only as best friends. Yoongi confessed to you during your first semester and you kissed him for hours. You lost every first to each other during college and graduated with little struggle. You moved into a bigger flat after college and both started your working careers as baristas in the same café. Almost a decade has passed between then and now and you wouldn’t change one single thing in your life.
“You know that I will always support you, don’t you?” you tell him, caressing his cheeks.
“I know”, his voice is barely above a whisper.
"Good", you tug his hair behind his ear and massage it afterwards.
Yoongi always loved to get them touched, he says that it soothes him a lot. 
Tonight is no different. Yoongi sacks into himself in a relaxed shudder, falling against your chest. It sadly makes your fingers slip from his ears, but you begin playing with his hair instead, caressing his neck while you're at it.
"Don't stop", he begs quietly.
“I won’t stop, promise.“
“Thank you for being with me”, he whispers, “I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Yoongs.”
You plan to marry him one day and Yoongi plans to do the same thing.

Some bylers, specially here, are doing an awesome job making people who initially refuse to see byler as a possibility become byler truthers (that dude @angelwithnightmares converted on Facebook will always be iconic). However, if you ever stumble upon a very strong headed anti byler and you try to explain your points to them, but they keep being rude, dismissive and close minded, don't waste your energy trying to convince them. If you're getting tired or feeling bad about them being so aggressive while refusing to listen to any of the points you're making, don't keep torturing yourself.
When vol 2 aired and Mike's monologue happened, I didn't lose hope but I knew from that exact same moment that milktits/anti bylers were gonna hold on to that confession for dear life until season 5 came out. And it's very reasonable from their POV, since it's the only thing slightly "romantic" looking they got this season. I'm sure byler is way more obvious for every person watching this show, even if the biggest antis refuse to accept it. That's the thing, even if they know there's a chance it's endgame, while debating with you they will never accept the obvious setup in season 4 because that would hurt their pride.
This doesn't happen only with ship wars, I think it's more of a strong headed, narcissistic people trait, wanting your opinion to always be right. Some milkvans have been convinced and converted to byler because they are more open minded people generally in every aspect of their lives. However, those strong minded and usually homophobic anti byler dudes on Reddit we've been talking about here for the past couple of weeks are so condescending and annoying every time someone explains to them why byler makes sense, because a big portion reddit users consists of grown up losers who have never matured and therefore have a gigantic ego. They will try to be right in every topic, not only milkvan vs byler, and they will run with any chance they have to if it means they can delude themselves into thinking they're obviously the ones in the right.
That's why, when I see bylers especially on reddit write incredible explanations on the reasons why byler is happening (and completely humiliating the reddit bros' reasonings, I have to add), they will always be downvoted to hell and be told that nothing they're saying makes sense. They have the love confession, they are gonna use it as proof until the show itself shows how bullshit it actually was. I'm sometimes annoyed by that monologue's existence exactly because of this. I know that it's a perfect set up for byler endgame, but I absolutely abhor the way people are latching onto it. Think about it, if milkvans didn't get that love confession at all and we based the state of their relationship for the rest of their season 4 scenes alone, they wouldn't be "so obviously set up as endgame" as they say.
They know this, trust me, but they won't listen to you. But you're not delusional, you're not dumb. Don't waste energy fighting them, this is basically the last year they have of thinking that milkvans is endgame, and after that they'll be the ones suffering (and some of them will deserve it). So focus on enjoying the way, creating or consuming art and being proud of being actually intelligent.

Oh no I am an anxious wreck once again. What now?
Here are a few tipps and tricks that help me personally to deal with anxiety (plus some I know work for others). Please feel free to add your own coping mechanisms in the notes!!!! Even though I technically know means to calm myself down, I always forget everything when I'm in the thick of it, so while this is mainly a reminder for myself I hope this list can help at least one other person as well :)
First of all: emotions are hard, and they are overwhelming, and shaming yourself will not make it better. Chances are it will make everything worse, actually. So don't you dare feel bad for needing help even with the "easy" stuff, or for not being able to endure as much as your peers, or even for half-assing stuff sometimes. It's fine. Like, for real. I promise it's okay. You don't need to always be at your best. You don't even need to be at your best most of the time.
What helps me personally is imagining that these struggles are affecting another person close to me. If my best friend were to call me because she needs help answering an E-Mail, or even to cancel last minute because she feels too overwhelmed to leave her house right now, I would never make her feel like crap because of it or talk about her behind her back or anything else your brain may be trying to convince you of. I know that she is at least as good a person as me (probably better tbh), so if I wouldn't do any of that, she certainly would never. In fact, believing these thoughts is actually a disservice to her, who did nothing to deserve these mean remarks (quite the opposite actually). Basically, try to twist and out-logic your own brain into being less of a cunt to you. Try guilt-tripping yourself into being kinder. The bad emotions are there anyways, might as well use them to your advantage. I can speak from experience that being anxious is a bit less unbearable if you aren't being a self-obsessed asshole on top of everything else
JUST FUCKING DO IT
If the source of your anxiety isn't a particular task you have been procrastinating on, or is something you can't just do whenever (f. ex. a job interview that's two days away), feel free to skip this part ^^
If you are still here: I know it can feel like actual hell to just do the thing. If you immediately want to click away after seeing this title I don't blame you. I mean, I am currently writing a huge ass post about anxiety instead of answering the two (2) E-Mails literally making my hands tremble. But the truth is, doing the thing is actually never as bad as it seems. Here's some stuff that maybe can help:
-> Remember that it's never been the end of the world before, so surely it won't start being it now. If you've already been through a similar situation: remember that it isn't the first time you've felt this way; remember that doing the thing wasn't as bad as you'd feared and, most importantly; remember how you felt after doing it. If this is the first time you feel like that, I'm sorry. I promise you aren't stupid for "overreacting", and I promise it will feel at least a little bit better if you just get it over with. And when you've managed the first time, you can now use that as an example instead of taking some stranger on the internet on his word. Worst comes to worst, you can still anon hate me (jk please don't)
-> Rewarding yourself. Remember that putting yourself down tends to make things worse. Allow yourself to be proud for your achievements, yes even the small ones that most people barely even think about. Because sometimes shit is just hard, but you still did it, and that's fucking awesome !!! For me personally just the knowledge that my anxiety will lessen (and I will probably get some good sleep - emotions are so fucking exhausting) is enough most of the time, but you can also give yourself a little treat afterwards. You've earned it!
-> Hide it in between chill tasks. Like right now, I'm writing this instead of my fucking E-Mail. I am a bit calmer since this is distracting myself from the daunting task of typing a few words. So I am now going to open my mails on another tab, type this shit, and send it. And I know that when I did that I will feel better about myself. And even if I fuck up somehow (how you ask? i don't fucking know), I will immediately have this task to come back to so I don't have the chance to overthink it. I FUCKING DID IT I AM THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
-> If you have a bunch of stuff you swore yourself you would do (a bunch can also mean like 2 btw) starting can seem even more daunting (even if it is, as aforementioned, "only" two). So I am very happy to present written lists my absolute beloved. In my experience, stuff is a lot less overwhelming if it isn't only living inside your head. You get a feeling of accomplishment when you can cross something off your list. You don't have to keep panicking about forgetting something (since everything is already written down on your list.) You can even break down bigger tasks into smaller more manegeable ones (f. ex. instead of "clean your room" -> "1. do your bed; 2. fold your clothes; 3. etc etc".) It's great because even if you don't manage the entire big task you still feel less like a failure since you've got proof of all the small accomplishments you did manage. Plus it's easier to continue on another day since you know exactly what you have to do and have proof of everything you already managed as a motivator.
-> Accept help. Be on the phone with a friend while doing the thing (if possible, of course). Ask your friends to be your hypeman before and after doing the thing. Get reassurance from other people. Go to your friend's house to ask them to read your E-Mails, summarize them verbally, and then type an appropriate answer for you (can you already tell me and electronic mail aren't in the best of terms?) Making things harder on yourself on purpose isn't being strong it's being stupid
-> already mentioned it a bunch of times, I know, but the thing that really helps for me is comparing with past experiences. I know I will feel better after I do it because that's always what happens when my brain blows things out of proportion. I know I can do this because I did even scarier stuff and it went well. Or even: if I manage to do this seemingly super scary thing, I will be able to use it as a motivator for smaller stuff in the future. I mean, what even is a fucking E-Mail in comparison to going to a social event on your own ??! (seriously, do it. in my experience it's surprisingly easy to find friends if you look pathetic enough, plus a lot of things seem a bit less paralyzing in comparison)
-> I turn it into a competition, or a game. If I do the thing I win. If I don't do the thing the anxiety wins. And I refuse to let that happen because I'm competitive AND a sore loser <3 so I do the thing. and then I feel a bit better
JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. THINKING IS THE ANTITHESIS OF DOING. (which you can also use to your advantage, à la better to think about that unhealthy coping mechanism and why you shouldn't do it than to stop thinking about it and actually doing it instead. But that isn't the point right now)
DISTRACTIONS
Sometimes there just isn't anything you can do. Sometimes all you can do is wait. Sometimes you don't even know why the fuck you're feeling like that. And that fucking sucks.
I know there are some people who need an absence of stimuli in order to calm down. (If that's you, please leave some of your own pointers in the notes! I don't really have any ideas for that one tbh)
For me, the opposite is the case. I can't count the times my mom has told me to "try meditating!" or "don't do more than one thing at the same time it'll only stress you out even more!", unaware that giving my thoughts free reign would make everything so much worse.
I need to overwhelm myself in order to be able to forget about my anxiety for a while. Sometimes doing a task I've been dreading is easier after distracting myself for a few hours (being anxious is very tiring so if you let it run its course in the back of your mind for a while you'll have less energy for it later ^^). Here's some stuff that could help (though it should be noted that a) not everything will work on everyone and b) sometimes it just doesn't work. even if it worked the last five times. Don't ask me why it is what it is):
-> Do something (really anything) while listening to a video essay/podcast/audiobook. That's my go-to classic. Feel your mind slipping away from whatever you're doing? Force yourself to really listen to what is being said. Sometimes it helps to mouth the words along to my audio of choice (while still doing your thing at the same time!!) Speed it up (I've usually got my stuff at 1.75x or 2x). Assume that pretty much everything listed below can be done while having this as a second layer of distraction
-> Learn something new. I was literally just teaching myself the tabs for Every Breath You Take by The Police and 26 by Paramore on the guitar before starting this. I tried learning finnish and irish for a while there (learning vocabulary, trying to translate sth, learning grammar, etc.). Sometimes it can take a bit of time to get into it, but once you're there it's easy to lose yourself in it (in my experience at least.) And you can always start another video essay in the background!
-> Baking. I usually do half or fourth the recipe to a.) waste less ingredients; b.) have less stuff to eat so you can go bake more stuff sooner; and c.) feel less bad if it doesn't turn out how you hoped. Plus you can also make yourself more likeable by giving some to your neighbours ;)
-> Comfort book/series/movie/etc. I'll be honest, this one almost never works for me, but I know that for some people it does so on the list it goes
-> Take a walk. Touch some grass. Go outside. Personally have very mixed feelings towards this one. Used to do it all the time during lockdown (walking nowhere for literal hours while listening to music), but when it doesn't help it makes things much much worse (in my experience) So maybe be a bit careful? If you want to get away from your thoughts this is...bad. But otherwise (like if you just have the feeling of anxiety without a specific reason) it's worth a try
-> Do maths. I'm serious. For a while there I couldn't sleep, so I'd go on the net, search for equasion exercises, and just go wild. Don't look at the answer: this isn't the point. It's something with a fixed procedure and no consequences if you mess up (you won't even know if you mess up). Maybe instead of equations you find long division more relaxing. Just try not to think of school, put the pressure away, and give it a go.
-> Go to your comfort place. This is also a bit of a tricky one. First of all, not everyone has one of those. Or maybe you can't really go there (like, I always calm down when I'm at the beach. I adore the ocean. But I don't have sea anywhere near me, so sucks to be me i guess). But if you do have a place near you it's worth a try. Sometimes after a particular stressful therapy session i just...go chill at the library for a while. It helps :)
-> Blorbo scrolling. I personally prefer looking at a bunch of art and comics (visual stuff) since i don't really have the concentration to read when I'm anxious, but see what works best for you <3
-> Menial tasks. I love them. Sorting stuff that actually doesn't really matter (like taking all your books from your shelves and trying a new way to organize them). The already mentioned maths exercises. Washing the dishes/putting them back in their place (you can combine that one with the baking hehe). Volunteering work can also be pretty helpful: they often need help with menial tasks plus you can feel good about yourself for helping. Recently started helping at my local animal shelter and it's actually pretty great !
-> Sports. I personally hate sports and always feel worse afterwards, but so many people talk about it that it must be of help to someone out there. What I used to do when I got suddenly overrun by emotions is taking my skipping rope and jumping as fast as I physically could til I felt a bit better (and sweaty ew)
-> Sometimes I like starting a small project; depending on the mood either with no pressure to finish (or intention to show anyone ever because eww), or posting it in hope for praise that'll make me feel a bit better about myself heh. Just something else I can focus on. (ex. g. I've got a meeting I'm nervous about tomorrow so I started writing this huge-ass post) Just remember: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GOOD!! JUST CREATE! I PROMISE BEING CREATIVE AND/OR DOING STUFF IS AWESOME!! (or if nothing else at least frustrating enough to overshadow the anxiety lol)
-> In the wise words of mother mother: Dance and cry, and cry and dance and cry. (And sing. And scream. Or get out that skipping rope. Just let it out my dude.)
-> Watch a show in a foreign language faster (like 2x speed) and with subtitles (less time to read, more required focus, less brain power to panic)
-> immersive reading (audio + text); especially effective if you do it in a language you are currently learning or one that is similar (but not the same!) to your native tongue (f. ex. portuguese and spanish)
-> Try sleeping. Doesn't always work, but at least it wastes time.
I THINK I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACK
-> Strong sudden stimulant. Like smelling a very strong perfume or taking a freezing shower.
-> Just. Let it wash over you. It sucks, yes, but it'll be over. Try keeping calm. I know, easy to say when you yourself aren't currently going through it, but anxiety about a future attack will not, in fact, make things less worse. Once again, remembering past attacks can help as well? It didn't kill you then, it won't kill you now. (My therapist suggested using a mental image, like huge waves or something. I personally don't do that but maybe it'll help)
-> Cover your ears and listen to your heart. Key point: this is NOT aiming to drown out noise, but to ground yourself by listening to your own body (bloodstream and creaking bones etc) (ty anon <3)
-> I'm not sure whether this'll work with panic attacks as well (according to google one of the key differences is that these don't really have a trigger and just....happen) and it probably won't be viable in every situation. But just. Be enough of a spiteful little shit to turn your breakdown into a powermove. (The distressing emotions are there anyways might as well make use of them). You told your teacher you get extreme anxiety when you have to speak in public and they ignored you because the school system actually hates kids? Look them right in the eyes as you start hysterically sobbing so they feel really bad, maybe be extra subdued the next few lessons. As far as you know it'll get you a few pity points that'll make a difference in your overall grade! (Pretty sure I got a better grade in my arts finals than i deserved) Someone knowingly breaks a boundary you set because "oh you've been doing so well" and "it's an irrational fear so it isn't real anyways" or whatever they tell themselves to justify it? This is your chance to make them really see how what they did is wrong (and hopefully will make them think twice before pulling shit like that again). If you warned them, they are literally asking for it. And it'll seem that much more impressive when you are having a good day for once and manage to get through it without one (you've earned that extra credit). Maybe I'm just a bit of a vindictive person, but reframing the narrative like that in my head gives me some semblance of control, which makes it all a bit less scary.
IT DIDN'T FIT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IS STILL IMPORTAT
This is mostly me reminding myself that it's fine tbh. Because it is.
-> Remember that you can just do shit. I don't know how else to say this, but sometimes my anxiety makes it feel like hiding away in my room is my only option. But that's not true! There is so much stuff you can do, I'm always in awe for a while when I get this through my thick skull once again. Like, you can just go to places. You can just write to your friends. You can just start a chat with that cool mutual you're too nervous to directly interact with. You can move. You can change jobs. You can redecorate your house. You can get into a random train and only get out at the last station, wherever that may be. YOU CAN JUST DO SHIT?!?!?! ISN'T THAT FUCKING AWESOME?!!!!!!!!
-> Extreme emotions can have unpleasant physical side effects. Sweating. Body odor. No appetite and/or extreme hunger cravings (sometimes at the same time??). Diarrhea. It sucks (especially when it continues on for multiple days and your oh so kind peers make sure to constantly remind you of those physical symptoms you are already overly aware of). But it's normal and it's fine. It doesn't make you gross, I promise.
-> THIS TOO SHALL PASS (that's it. Sometimes it's good to remind yourself. This too shall pass.)
-> Sometimes I just do small harmless shit to prove my anxious lizard brain wrong. Randomly say hi on that group chat you haven't entered for months. Create something you aren't really happy with and post it anyways, just cuz you can. Go do something on your own. The more you prove your fears wrong with little things like that, the easier it gets (especially if you have to do bigger scary stuff). Spite can be your best friend. (Plus easy way to gain more points in my mental competition hehehe)
-> Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you will fuck up. You will barely be able to say a word in the social event you forced yourself to go in order to meet cool people. You will be so obviously anxious at your friend's birthday that she will still remember that over a year later (despite your best efforts to hide it at the time). You will get an anxiety attack because of something you thought you had already gotten over months ago. And it sucks, but more importantly, it's fine. This too shall pass. This is another reason why the previous point is so important: it's harder to hold these incidents over your head if you have so many other experiences where you managed to prove yourself.
-> YOU get to decide when you want to try confronting a fear. Nobody else can do that for you, no matter how often they mention "exposure therapy" and shit (it's about the control once again. in my experience it's important for it to be your choice). Occasionally hiding away doesn't make you a failure. There are always more chances, it's never too late to start. Already mentioned it a bazillion times, but this shit is exhausting and you are well within your right to stay in your comfort zone and rest.
-> I don't know if it's just a me thing but self reminder to avoid lactose and gluten when overly anxious. (i never do but i am aware of it that should count for something)
-> gender-affirming stuff can help ^^
-> Not viable to everybody, but sometimes I just delete all social media from my phone. You can still go there through browser of course (that's where I'm actually currently writing this) but just not having the icon on the phone can already feel somewhat of a relief (social media in this case also including messaging apps like discord or WhatsApp or fucking electronic mail my beloathed). That's actually what I am planning to do immediately after posting this thing that came out a bit more personal and stream-of-conscousness than initially planned. You won't even be able to tell cuz I never tag my queues hehehe
-> mentally dunking my stupid anxious lizard brain into salt water rn. Fuck you. I'm posting this. I'm leaving my house tomorrow instead of calling in sick. I'm winning.

I already left a massive paragraph on ao3 about how I feel about that last chapter but I thought I’d come on here and do the same.
I feel as if I’m running out of words on how enchanting, mind blowing and damn right beautiful this story is (even with the amount of angst and crying I’ve done on this series 😂) this series is one rare gem in a sea of rocks. Where everything just comes together, where nothing feels forced. While I know that this series is just a rewritten version of ‘The Originals’ the way you have given this series life, given it more depth is just mind blowing to me. Without even going into klaroline and how that is just in a field of its own the way you have given Klaus, Elijah, Marcel and even Camille more character, more growth is just… beautiful to read.
I can’t talk about klaroline without getting sappy over how you’ve written them. They are soulmates and deserve their happy ending together. Their love is just written beautifully in this series. I literally hear their voices through your writing because you’ve done such an excellent job in keeping the core of who they were from the show and bringing it into your own world!
I can’t count how many times I’ve re-read this series back to back because I never want to leave this universe, to leave these characters.
While I’m excited to begin this new season, to be a part of these characters lives for longer I’m also emotional over the fact that, hopefully for you 😂, we will possibly say goodbye to them before the end of this year (and I am not prepared for that)
I can’t wait to see your growth this year in your writing (don’t know how it can be any better than it already is mind you!) you should be immensely proud of this series and what you’ve accomplished.
Can’t wait to see that notification for the next chapter, be it 2 weeks, 2 months or a year! ❤️
(So sorry for the emotional spillage 😂😂😂)
(Also need the klaroline wedding asap. Please give us a wedding your honour!)
Tumblr media
I hope you're proud of yourself, because you just made me cry 😭😭😭 Hoooow are you so nice??? I want to print this out and put it on my wall for when I'm feeling like crap and can't write. 🥹
This is so kind and so nice of you, I don't even know what to say. I don't know how to take a compliment tbh, but I'm really emotional. I've read this at least three times already. 🥹 Thank you so much for saying all that. ❤️ There have been sooooo many times throughout the years where I questioned the point of writing this, and each and every time I had someone tell me they were finally enjoying The Originals or liking characters they had previously hated, I felt a little bit more at peace ❤️
The response to this chapter has been so nice, everyone has been so lovely about it and so kind to take time to write some awesome reviews and then this. 🥲 I don't know, man, I just don't know. I don't know what I've done to deserve such awesome readers who make me feel like I'm not screaming into the void after all these years, but thank you very, very much! 🥹 Thank you so, so much for this. You have made my entire week. 😭

Hey, I love your writing and admire all your fics! Congrats on your mass of followers, you deserve it! <333
Because of you, I've been inspired to start writing my own works. So thank you for that :D
I saw that you were taking writing requests! Could you please do 36. or 37. with the puzzleshipping boys?❤️❤️❤️
If it's not too much trouble, (and if you do end up choosing 37) I thought it could be fun with a twist like Atem clowning Yugi for cheesy or nsfw stuff he said while drunk the previous night (?) Just an idea to add to the prompt that I had!
Thanks for creating and being awesome! <33
Oh that's so lovely of you to say!! I wish I knew who you were so I could thank you properly <3 <3
I'm so glad to hear that you're writing your own works, that's amazing and I'm sure you're doing an absolutely wonderful job! Keep having fun with it and I sincerely hope that it brings you joy <3 <3
These prompts are both so fun, so I kinda used both since one works as just dialogue and doesn't require much setting. ^.^ also your idea of Atem clowning Yugi is wonderful, a twist on an otherwise angsty prompt which I am grateful for <3 They're in an established relationship here, but Yugi being drunk and with no filter opens way more doors for them.
Enjoy! And thank you again.
36. "Good morning, my love" and 37. "I am not proud of the things I said to you"
.........
He woke with a dry mouth, aching bones and the worst headache of his fucking life. A groan left his lips as he rolled onto his back, stretching his limbs out in an attempt to bring life back to his body. 
He blinked several times, trying to clear the blurriness from his eyes and the fog from his mind. After a few more tries, he was finally successful enough to see the room he was lying in was not his own. 
A moment of panic seized him but it quickly passed when he recognised the pictures on the walls, the guitar in the corner and the small cat curled up on the bed with him. 
He had no idea how the hell he’d gotten to his boyfriends last night but here he was in Atems bed…but without Atem? 
His boyfriend wasn’t next to him, the bed was empty…not even the extra pillows were where they should be and he frowned, fighting the urge to just roll back onto his stomach and go to sleep once more. 
With only a little reluctancy, he pushed himself up and swung his legs off the bed, frowning at his lack of clothes. Him waking up naked in Atems bed had been a common occurrence for the past few months but he usually remembered the previous night. 
No matter, he was in his boyfriend's home, this was fine. No cause for concern.
He reached for the drawers next to the bed, pulling out one of Atems oversized sleep shirts and retrieving his own underwear from the floor. His head swam when he stood up and he had to give himself a moment before he attempted to walk toward the door, but he managed to leave the room eventually. 
He made it to the living room where he could hear the quiet sounds of the television playing after stopping off at the bathroom to freshen up and he smiled when he caught sight of his boyfriend sitting on the sofa. 
“Good morning, my love.” Atem said softly as he shuffled into the room. He hummed in response, rubbing at his eyes in an attempt to rid them of the blurriness of the previous night's alcohol. “How do you feel?” 
Yugi huffed out a laugh as he fell onto the sofa opposite his boyfriend, pulling his legs up and closing his eyes, curling into a ball. 
“Like complete shit.” He said. 
“Oh, my love.” Atem said sadly. “Do you need anything?” 
“Putting down.” 
“Sorry, not an option.” Atem said with a laugh. 
“Fine.” He huffed. “Coffee then I guess.” 
“Of course.” He heard Atem laugh again before he felt the sofa move as he stood up. He felt a kiss pressed quickly to his head, then he heard Atem walk away from him. 
He moved slowly, rolling onto his back, stretching out a little more before daring to open his eyes again. This time, they were less blurry and he didn’t feel as much like the room was spinning so for that he was grateful. 
Thoughts slowly crept into his foggy mind and he wondered how the hell he’d managed to get to his boyfriends in one piece. He’d intended to go home, he knew that. He even remembered walking most of the way with Jou but then he’d obviously just veered off at some point and found his way here. 
As of yet, he was still to remember exactly what had happened once he got here though.
He looked around the room and then sighed happily, dropping his head against the back of the sofa, leaning against a soft thick blanket. As he did, he looked to the other end of the sofa where Atem had been sitting and realised the pillows he’d noticed were missing from his boyfriend's bed were there instead and he groaned. 
“What’s up?” Atem asked as he walked back into the room, two steaming cups in his hands. “Is everything alright?” 
“I made you sleep on the sofa.” He said quietly, watching Atem put the cups down on the table before him. 
“Oh, you didn’t make me but yeah.” Atem said, dropping back onto the sofa next to him. “Uh…you were a little…handsy last night and I thought it was best to stay separate.” 
“God.” He groaned, closing his eyes just so he didn’t have to look at the smirk on Atems face. “You should’ve stayed. I wouldn’t have minded, I can tell you that.” 
“Hmm.” He felt Atems hand come to rest on his knee. “Maybe not, but still. I’d never take advantage of you.” 
He nodded, opening his eyes again and returning the soft smile his boyfriend gave him. Of course he’d expect that from Atem, he had always been such a gentleman. 
“I’m sorry.” He said. “I know I was probably a fucking nightmare to deal with.” 
Atem shook his head and turned to face him properly. 
“Well, I mean, when you got here and after I was over the uh, pleasant surprise of you hammering on my door and waking me up at three in the morning, I asked if you’d had a good night.” Atem said, a smile creeping onto his face. “And you answered that by saying ‘I swear to drunk I’m not god.’ and I knew then that you’d need some very careful handling.” 
“Oh no.” He groaned, sinking further into the sofa under him, wishing the ground would just swallow him up and he didn’t have to deal with the whole awkwardness of this situation. 
Atem didn’t need this, they hadn’t even been together that long. Sure, they’d been friends for years but actually dating? That’d only been a few months. He was cursing his drunk self for allowing this to happen and vowed right then to never let himself be left unattended ever again. 
“I don’t mind.” Atem said with a laugh. “Honestly, you said some pretty funny things.” 
“I almost don’t wanna ask.” He said. 
“I definitely wanna tell you though.” Atem laughed softly. “After all, I had to deal with it first hand, it’s only fair that you share in that.” 
He didn’t respond, he only covered his face with his hands and sank further into the cushions under him. 
“You seem to get very philosophical when you’re drunk.” Atem said conversationally. “You were very concerned with the plight of the river last night. You asked why they always run, and what the point is, then you proceeded to tell me that there’s no point at all to them running since they never seem to get anywhere-” 
“Atem please.” He groaned. 
“Oh, and you also told me about a new friend you made, a guy who looked good in a skirt and wanted to go travelling.” Atem continued. “I’m sure you told me that you’re off to Australia with him next week.” 
“Fuck.” 
“But I think the best things you said were about me.” Atem told him. 
He slipped his hands slowly from his face, looked back at his boyfriend and tried to read his reaction but he couldn’t quite manage. 
“Oh?” He asked, curious despite himself. Desperately hoping he said nothing out of order. 
“Yeah.” Atem smirked at him. “You almost cried when you found out I had a boyfriend.” 
“I’m a fucking idiot.” He groaned again and moved his hands back over his face. 
“Yet I love you anyway.” Atem said softly. “You told me that I was too hot for my boyfriend, whoever he was, that I should be with you instead cause you’d treat me right. You told me that I’d never get a better fuck. Guaranteed.” 
“Oh my god.” He whispered. Shame eating away at him. How could he be so…stupid? He should have gone home, he wished he’d gone home. 
“Then you proceeded to take off your clothes and throw yourself on my bed.” Atem continued. “What was it you said? Oh yeah! You told me to climb on and enjoy the best ride of my life, that you wanted to see me lose myself above you, to watch my beautiful body as I bounced on your co-” 
“I am not proud of the things I said to you.” He muttered, cheeks burning with shame and embarrassment. He’d never say something like that to Atem even if they were true and they were definitely things he’d thought about before.  
“Oh I don’t know…maybe you should be.” Atem said softly. 
He slid his hands away from his burning face, looking back at his boyfriend again. He saw the shy smile Atem was giving him, the way his hands moved restlessly in his lap. 
“Should I?” He said quietly. 
“Well, I mean, um…” Atem stopped to take a breath then gave him a soft smile. “You’re pretty well spoken when you’re drunk so that’s something to be proud of…and maybe I’d like to hear you be more confident in yourself, to be…told what to do.” 
He hesitated for a moment, unsure if Atem was joking or whether he really meant it…but the nervousness in his posture told him he did. 
“Ah…” He said, mouth dry for an entirely different reason now. “Well, yeah, I can…maybe, try that, yeah.” 
Atem laughed softly and looked away from him, leaning forward and grabbing both cups, handing him one. 
“Anyway, shelf that for now.” Atem told him as he took the cup. “A discussion for when you feel better.” 
“Oh, yeah.” He nodded eagerly, glad for the break. Maybe now he could convince himself to calm down enough to speak coherently. 
“You can stay here for as long as you like by the way.” Atem said softly. “I don’t have any plans today and I was gonna see you later anyway.” 
“Ugh. I was gonna take you out somewhere.” He said regretfully, knowing that he might not be in a state to do that anymore. 
“Oh I don’t mind.” Atem said happily, putting down his cup and shuffling closer to him. “Spending time with you is always nice, no matter where.” 
“Even if I’m a drunken mess?” He asked. 
“Even if you’re a drunken mess.” Atem said softly with a quiet laugh, moving to rest an arm against the back of the couch, a finger tapping Yugi's nose gently. “Even if you’re a hungover mess too.” 
“I’m so lucky to have you.” He said softly, putting his own mug down and shuffling into a more upright position. “Really, I’m so lucky.” 
Atem smiled at him, moving closer again. A hand came to rest on his knee and he covered it with one of his own. 
“And don’t you forget it.” Atem teased. 
“Like you’d let me.” He huffed, leaning closer and pressing his lips softly to Atems. 
He felt his boyfriend sigh softly, leaning into him and moving to slide a hand into his hair. He deepened the kiss, pressing Atem back gently and moving with him, pushing him down against the sofa easily. 
Atem laughed happily against his lips, legs moving to wrap around his hips as he drew him into another deep kiss. 
...........
Fancy asking me to write a little thing? My asks are always open, so feel free to slide on in and give me a silly little prompt <3 You can find a list of them and some info here- Link

hey so who are your favourite characters in black butler? like a top ten or something
heyyyy thanks for asking! sure, always nice to cover the basics. ofc this will probably not be surprising to anyone who's heard me rant for a while now, but I'll explain it anyway.
top 3 first:
1. Ciel: an atrocious guy with very little social personality, and one of the best written protagonists I've personally read. I'm just really into digging through this guy's brain, and when he isn't destroying people he's doing things that end up being funny.
2. Sebastian: another well written protagonist, despite the fact that we know absolutely nothing about him other than the fact that his personality is "cats, I'm better than everyone, except for agni maybe". I remember in my first year in the fandom a friend and I had a like 2 hour long text conversation about how much we hated and loved Sebastian. terrible guy, couldn't have the series without him, leaves a lot to think about.
3. Grelle: she's just as if not more atrocious than the last 2 cause she made these awful decisions herself, but that doesn't stop me from respecting her work ethic and just thinking she's awesome in general. and aside from how cool she looks, I think her inner thoughts and relationships with her coworkers is so curious, there is a lot to explore here. compelling character for me.
and following:
4. Elizabeth: she's one of the purest characters out there and she is so complex. a good amount of people hate her or just find her annoying for whatever reason, but I think the trend here is that the more flawed the character is the better. she's trying so hard to please everyone. probably one of the most relatable characters in her own way.
5. Soma: the source of joy in my life, God I wish he was my friend. he and Agni are basically equal in my ranking, I think they're just the kid mentor duo, but unfortunately only one of them has the chance to keep developing... ;;;^;;;
6. Agni: "agni" was good every day of his life until the end. the only thing he did wrong was out of loyalty for Soma, Sebastian should be jealous of him cause he is all the butler that Sebastian will never be. plus he just cries sometimes and I respect that.
7. Ronald: this is such a fun guy, and yet I am capable of having long conversations about him and everything that he could have possibly been through, it has been done. his workplace dynamic is perfect. everyone needs a Ron.
8. Finny: another pure being, he's such an interesting and honestly rare character, I don't often see other people like him in media, so obviously he's interesting. he's one of the only characters in kuro who have deep trauma and yet doesn't act negatively on it, either because he's unable to comprehend it at length or because his love and positivity for all things is just stronger. also he's Ciel's big bro fr.
9. Meyrin: she's awesome, Hollywood and feminists alike wish they were able to write a strong female character like her😏 she's freakishly powerful and one of the most feminine people out there, and she deserves that after what she's been through. I will never stop supporting her, she's everyone's big sis and she's adorable.
10. Bard: proud dad to all the servants, he's the wacky beer uncle that we all wish we had. he's conservative but just give him some time cause he does care about people and what makes them happy.
hope this satisfies you and doesn't completely contradict your own list of favorites! have a good day

I see artists doing little showcasings of what they've accomplished creatively in the last year, decided that looks fun, and decided I'd do for myself an little inventory of what I've written in the last year as well, based on archive posts and what I can recall (I specify 'what I can recall', because I was not keeping track of when I did or did not update my main fanfic "Video Game Cruelty Potential" so...guestimates for that fic! I have 36 chapters, I can probably guess it was updated at least every other month) ~ So! For 2023: January: Did a fan-fanfic for my friend Lex called "The Other Rooms" where I explored off-scene implications of his cool-ass fic Room No.5 February: Created an alternate version of VGCP called "VGCP: Characters at their best" where I tried to explore some of the chars in the same setting being more well adjusted. I haven't gotten very far in it, but I am determined to get back to it this year! Also probably updated VGCP March: Did two short Kaito stories, an Oumota called "Playing with Phobias" where Kokichi messes with Kaito and a Saimota called "Luminary Hero of the Track Field" where Shuichi worries over Kaito's enthusiasm to sports while sick. April: Started what was MEANT to be a multi-chaptered Homestuck!V3 Kaito fic called "The Devotion of the Luminary of Skaia", but I haven't gone back yet to figure out what happens next yet. Thinking about it now, I think I was to make it a three chapter fic, but I just need to save some space to go back and outline it someday. VGCP? Maybe? May: A short Oumota piece called "Carnation: Please Handle Gently" that I got some awesome art commissioned for by the incredibly talented Ere. This short story inspired me so much that I'm actually basing a new original novel on the same concept~
June: I (believe) this was the month I finished Kaiden! An omegaverse original story I was writing and posting to Kindlevella. I am super proud of finishing that piece, and while I want to go back and create a more refined second draft before selling it as an Amazon book, I still LOVE this version as well. Very proud~ And VGCP!
July: Two Oumota short stories, "Touring Mortality" and "Execution Failed". Touring Mortality was especially fun to write, though I was amazed at the positive feedback Execution Failed got. It was very uplifting XD This was also the month I (re)started my original story "Pearls and Shackles". Also probably VGCP August: More Pearls and Shackles, more VGCP. September: Pearls and Shackles! Probably more VGCP! Can't remember! October: Can you guess? PEARLS AND SHACKLES! VIDEO GAME CRUELTY POTENTIAL!! November: This was a purely Pearls and Shackles month, and that was because I dedicated NANO (National Novel Writing Month) to finishing it. AND I DID! It super needs a second draft, its not ready to show off, but it EXISTS! So hell yeah!
December: A funny short V3 story called "Soulmate Goose of Enforcement!" I had a lot of fun collaborating with this one with Lex, and am hoping to do a chapter 2 with another great writer added to the mix too, Andromebaa. I also started the first two chapters of a new novel manuscript, a Hanahaki story about a pair of lesbians struggling with love in their own ways, but both trying their best! And, also, I updated "Video Game Cruelty Potential"
Did I overestimate how often I updated VGCP this year? Underestimate? I have no idea, that fic is almost 300,000 words long by this point, let's call an update every other month a generous average of how often I add to it. Other then VGCP, I did 8 Short Fanfics, finished a book, started and finished another book, and started a third book. And I'm not counting stories I had to write for my school year. Just ones I did out of the passion in my damn heart.
So, yeah! I'm pretty proud of this year, it was a good one. I hope anyone reading this had just as good a year! Writers, steal this idea, go looking back the year and brag about what you accomplished! You deserve it!
Have a good 2024 everyone!

YOU🫵
So you're nekos over on AO3!! I absolutely LOVE ur writing it's so unique and u write emotions and interactions so beautifully. I've teared up a ton over ur fics bro. Ur feral donnie au is currently rotating in my brain. In my opinion I think it'd be really cute and funny if u made D the youngest. I mean c'mon he's such an adorable little bean! I'm so proud of his interactions and growing understanding with the world. Like he's been through so much. And yet he's still kind and curious despite the absolute atrocities he went through 🥺 and now hes got family! I think he deserves a little slack for everything I feel. Of course it's not up to me, and no way I'm trying to pressure u or anything. I just think it'd be interesting to watch their bonds and dynamics grow like that.
Hope ur doing ok! Remember to hydrate and take care of yourself!! Ur awesome!!
ME!!
OMGEE, I love this ask sm! So many positive feels. 🥰 Thank you for taking the time to share! It has absolutely MADE my day!
Might need to make tag for this AU 👀
Literally, Donnie is a precious mix of doggy and toddler. He will get into absolutely everything, he will jump at any chance to play&learn, his only concept of right and wrong is the one someone else gives him, and he will love you till the day he dies. Poor boi has been touch starved from the movement he got into metal Kraang hands and loves any kind of platonic affection that the brothers will give him.
He can’t understand that what happened to him by the Kraang was wrong because they do it to everyone. He never learned to fight back because there was never a point. Everything about how the brothers treat him is opposite to what he knows, and he craves it.
SPOILER ALERT for the third chapter AND hints about chapter four:
In that alleyway where Casey finds him, he’s terrified because he knows exactly what he’s going back to if the Kraang take him. Donnie might never get away from them and experience the safety that the brothers bring again. And yet, they’re his masters, so he can’t fight them, not when they have every right to have him.
But, Casey gives him an opening, so he takes it.
He shouldn’t. He knows he shouldn’t, but he can’t go back.
As for the youngest position- I have a scene in mind for when Mikey abruptly realizes that his joke about Donnie being the “youngest” brother has actually solidified into reality and now someone’s about to die if his baby brother isn’t returned safe and HOLD ON A MINUTE is THIS what being an older brother feels like?!?
But in a sequence of Neko’s unique emotional writing :)
And ABSOLUTELY he’s perfect for the position (but that might just be creator bias). He embodies the definition of innocence baby boi and lives a life of blissful ignorance.
Unfortunately, the votes seem to be leaning towards Mikey staying the youngest so I guess we’ll have to see where the story goes ;)

Hi hi! I hope you're doing really well today! I just wanted to fling my AO3 at you and pimp my fics a little, esp if you're interested in some new Stony fics by me. I write several ships, but I got involved with the Stony AUniverse Bingo last year, and that sparked quite a few Stony fics. Just posted up a new one today, which I posted to my Tumblr as well. https://archiveofourown.org/users/Wolfsheart No pressure! Really! I just love your fics and the fics you've recommended and thought you might like to give a weird (usually) fluff writer a go.
hi, wolfie! i'm doing okay, thanks; how are you? :)
of course i will go read your fic! first of all, i overall wanna support as many active stony writers as i can, because we're all doing god's work, and i refuse to let our sweet little fandom die. secondly, you're always so kind and generous with your support and feedback under everyone's fics (including mine, which i'm so grateful for!), and you deserve all of that energy back.
and thirdly, i already know you're an awesome writer! i do admit i haven't read a lot of your work, but i love there he was, like double cherry pie (it made it to my master rec list!), so that must mean your usually-fluff-weirdness must appeal to me. :)
i appreciate you reaching out and promoting your work: that's pretty cool and i think more of us should be proud of our stuff and normalise talking about it. <3
ps. it's possible some of your stuff is already on my marked for later list since i distinctly remember checking out your works, but that list is absolutely endless because i wanna read everything on this planet, so. 🥲

Ayo just swinging by to ask if there's a particular piece of yours that you think deserves more love or perhaps even just proud of? Because writers like you deserve to hear nice things about what you write. As someone that doesn't even write smut I can't even imagine how much more work goes into it! So I just want to show my appreciation! Obviously, if I'm being too much feel free to tell me to buzz off. Hell if you think what I'm trying to do is too similar to your Mondays of Appreciation (Which absolutely goated by the way. It's what helped me iznsfw and paying for a commission. So props to you for that) let me know and I'll cut it out. But hey kinda sad that MoA isn't going to be posted regularly anymore. But doing it regularly for 100 weeks is a huge milestone and you should be proud of yourself! Anyway this is my sort of way of honouring it. Anyway hope you're doing well Smite!
First of all, thank you so much for these kind words <3 you have no idea how much this means to me, especially when you do it this thoroughly!
You're also not "too much" or "similar". My whole idea behind MoA was to get people to notice other writers and appreciate them, so if you do that and continue to spread it, that fricking awesome! Thanks for doing your part!
I have a few fics that I really like and would have wanted/thought they'd get more notes, but... when I look at them and their actual note count now, it's still satisfying, especially when I think about the 300, 200 or 100 people that liked this fic. Especially my futa and fem!reader have gotten me awesome messages in my asks/DMs. That's enough for me to consider them successes and to continue writing them.
(TBH, I though Just Testing would wreck everything, but then again, I never thought C.Ollection would reach 2.400 (!!!) Notes. Holy fuck, y'all are insane).
I'm just happy to hang around, find some friends and write crazy bs that people get off to or enjoy for other reasons. Writing is still fun, I still have ideas and idols remain drop dead gorgeous (and, let's be honest, they are getting bolder and more confident with their bodies. Love it!).
Thanks again @voyagerreviews, you made my day <3

I WAS AT STAGE WITH PARAMORE 💜
Wow. I can't believe I'm writing this. Here I go.
Disclaimer: English is not my first language and I'm writing this at the airport on my phone without thinking too much. So, sorry if I mess up with the grammar or something 🙏 (by the time I'm uploading it I'm already at home cause I wanted to add some pictures).
I made this account very recently because I was embarassed about fangirling too much at my main blogs where irl people followed me.
I dedicated this account mostly to aruani (snk) fandom but you've probably realized that I also share a lot Paramore stuff.
Well, I wasn't planning on ending anonymity anytime soon but... something BIG happened to me.
Last thursday I was able to go to my first Paramore show ever at Dublin. I've been dreaming about it for so many years. I've watched so many videos of fans going up stage at Misery Business and I've cried so many times watching them. I travelled from Spain, wrote in a huge sign "I crave to sing with you", arrived at queue at 8:15 am aprox, and waited (I had General Acces tickets!). The amazing Tom gave us some numbered wristbands so we could leave the queue and stay warm and healthy without losing our spot. He was the sweetest. Meanwhile I took a walk around, lucky enough to meet Brian Robert Jones and take a pic with him!!! Around 4 pm we were back at the queue and, yes, I was able to be at the same spot. ❤️
The second I entered the arena and realized how close I was to the stage I started ugly crying hahahaha. Rozi Plain was so sweet, Bloc Party was awesome (I really like them as well!!). And then they came out. At that moment I wasn't even crying anymore, I think I was disassociating a bit 🤣
They were amazing. Hayley is so talented, pretty and fun. THE ENERGY. I was holding up my sign maybe for too long and I could hear some people complaining about it behind me, which I totally understand... I felt so bad I started crying about it so I decided to not hold it up again until Misery Business :_) But soon the guilty tears turned into emotional tears, and I cried a lot during most of the show. I was SO EMOTIONAL during Last Hope... 🥺
AND THEN
Misery Business starts. Time to make Hayley spot me 🙏 Omg my stomach hurts while writing this... SHE. PICKED. ME. SHE FUCKING PICKED ME. I didn't realized, my boyfriend literally had to tell me because I was so nervous I didn't realized. Ok I think I'm going to cry again hahahaha.
She said she had been watching and knew exactly that it was going to be me. I can't believe it. At that moment I was so euphoric that I just went with the flow. Obviously I'd been preparing myself for this but you need to know I'm a very socially akward person, I have many anxiety issues, but IDK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF MYSELF 😭😭😭 Hayley hugged me very hard, I told her I love her and thanked her a billion times. She is very tiny and I'm a big tall person but she PET MY HEAD 😭😭😭❤️ I can't believe she was so sweet!!!! I did it, I sang the song, I danced with Hayley, she said my name, we headbanged together... an amazing dream come true. I asked her to sign my (diy grow up) jacket and SHE DID IT!!! I was told to left very quickly (obviously 🤣) but she managed to sign it for me on time 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (I also brought a marker in my pocket on purpose). I mean I WAS SO READY FOR IT 😭❤️
After that people were AMAZINGLY NICE TO ME. THANK YOU ALL WITH ALL MY HEART. It means the world to me that the other fans felt happy for me, so many people congratulated my, you are in my heart FOREVER. I felt kinda bad because I'm from Spain and I started thinking that maybe I didn't deserve it, that it should have been anyone from Dublin... I find it very difficult to feel worthy of all the goods things that happen to me, and to hear so many fans telling so many nice things, hugging me, even asking for pictures... You really made a difference in me. I'm crying. I wish I could share with you the feeling. THANK YOU DUBLIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! ❤️
This has changed my life forever. I also met Louise from Bloc Party after the show and she was LOVELY, eveything about that night has inspired me forever. I've been dreaming about making music by myself since I was a little child and just started to actually make it (kinda 🤣) a few months ago. But now... I feel so blessed and inspired I'm gonna try harder from now on.
MY WILDEST DREAMS CAME TRUE. Thank you Hayley for choosing me, thank you Paramore for changing my life, thank you Dublin for the unforgettable experience, thanks to the lovely fans I met there, and THANKS TO MY AMAZING BOYFRIEND for being there with my ALWAYS by my side. He knew it was going to be me. He fucking knew. I'm so grateful. I've been crying since that night. I'm crying right now and I'll never stop crying about this. This is a once in a lifetime experience, I am the luckiest person. A picture could not contain the way it feels.
WE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU AND WE ARE PARAMORE. ❤️
