I hate it when writers say English isn't their first language, it feels like they're trolling me,

I mean, I've read stories by natives that makes me wanna stuff my mouth with my mouse (the electrical one, no animalz were harmed writing this post) and smothering my head inside a plastic bag with my pillow on top with my hands tied to the bed handles, just to insure my ultimate death (I'm suicidal, don't tear on me!) because of all the spelling and grammatical mistakes!!

And yeah, maybe I don't really have a leg to stand on since English isn't my first language either, not to mention that it's been years since I last wrote anything (breaks my heart, and mental state, everytime I think about it) and my current laptop and the previous one are filled with too much drafts and incomplete original and fanfics it makes my head spin.

So yeah, I don't have the right for my hatefuly supporting energy, but please, don't look down on yourself because of some social construct called language that their own inventors play with, English is one of the languages that "has" rules then plays dumb when it breaks them, so even if you make mistakes, it doesn't mean anything bad, it actually shows what a badass you are since you defied the barriers, and learned new ways to communicate with others, not only that, but you actually managed to either improve or make something out of your pure brilliant imagination (even if you had a reference or inspiration, that's the magic of construction).

So please, be more proud of yourself, you're a brilliant and brave writer, and I'm honoured to read/see/hear/ even smell something made by you.

With all the aggressive love and support I can manage!!

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work? 🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave). 🌈 What inspired you to write "Both Gray"?

foxyyyy~ hello ^^ good evening! or day for you maybe? am not sure. but here are some answers for you:

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

there are way too many unnecessary pretty words. can we move on from this one feeling already. enough drama for a whole ass movie trilogy. color? color. as a way of describing a thought or a feeling? yes, why not. taste that blue, cry that yellow, choke on that purple you bitch.

is this a legit answer to this question even? i am not sure. i have never thought about my writing like this :'D but i have for the longest of time wanted my writing to feel like shattered or frosted glass while you read it, be it you swallowing it or just carefully touching it or whatever way you might approach it. so at least the first sentence stands? there are so many pretty words (and probably half of them could be taken away for the story to actually exist)

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

hmm. first of all i gotta say that i don't often reread stuff bc am already way too busy with all the new stuff i want to consume. this doesn't only mean fics but also books and movies and tv shows (tho i've found myself rewatching movies a lot lately. and also returning to a couple of dramas). but if i'd had to name a fic that brought me a lot of comfort and will continue to do so and that sits in my bookmarks so that i can know it just exists out there, it would be:

@kholran's I Get By

and equal amounts

@s1utspeare's i wish that you would love me

and bc i absolutely suck at choosing

@humanlighthouse's Till some other door opens

i've been changed by the mere existence of these fics and the emotions and thoughts in them ♥ thank you

🌈 What inspired you to write "Both Gray"?

oh boy, have i not talked about this already? what a shame. me, the resident blabber who just won't shut up! keeping this from you all! unacceptable. so here goes, it's storytime.

ok jk, it's not a long story. i think the idea came to me when i was talking about wing aus with @ashenlights. they brought up the thought of pingxie with wings and when i mentioned that i like the setting where someone has lost a wing or hurt their it, i think it was them who got the idea of wu xie losing his wing during the 10 years he spends chasing after the wangs and being a suicidal idiot. then i yelled and flailed and went all, "what if he loses the wing instead of getting his neck slashed open?" and down i went. choosing the different types of wings for everyone was the first thing i did. the second thing was the first scene of this fic.

that first scene is everything i had in mind once i started writing. i thought it would remain as that one scene; just xiaoge and wu xie reuniting after 10 years and xiaoge expecting wu xie to fly to him but then noticing him on the ground instead. it was very vivid in my mind but as it left everything very open, i wasn't satisfied with just that. then i drafted the fic a bit further, with the thought of keeping it kinda light. pingxie were supposed to be together already. xiaoge was supposed to just assure wu xie that his lack of one wing didn't make him anything less (that him losing his flight did not mean that he had lost his ability to be himself). wu xie was supposed to confess how he lost that wing (how he got hurt by ppl). but well, talking has never been pingxie's thing and then i considered xiaoge's own bronze gate related trauma on top of wu xie's wing and here we are.

i said this would be short. obviously, i lied.

thank you for sending this ask and listening to me ramble once again ^^ i hope you are doing well!

#the last question just #thank you!!#am so happy someone is interested #also i hope you liked both gray!!#if you have read it #or plan on reading it heh #wing aus are just chef's kiss #i wanted to do it justice
