i, like every other fic author in existence, love getting comments from people who enjoyed my work. i don't care if your comment is "late" (that's so weird to me like it's literature—do you apologize to homer for being late to reading the odyssey?) or "unintelligible" (late night commenters, english language learners, people who feel like they "just aren't that good with words", believe me, i entirely understand what you mean and appreciate it immensely), or anything else that you feel might make your comment 'not good enough'. i love all of the comments i receive and i am eternally grateful to all of you for your continued support.
and yeah, i've read fics where i felt like adding a comment would be doing the fic a disservice because there was nothing that could be said that wouldn't cheapen or patronize the magnum opus i'd just witnessed. in instances like this, that is exactly what i say in the comment: "there's nothing i can say that doesn't do this work of art a disservice. thank you for writing this."
actually, now that i think about it, there are a bunch of ao3 comments i've gotten that i still haven't replied to because i felt any thanks i could give would be inadequate. i should really get around to replying because i want them to know how spellbound they left me. i love you all, have i ever mentioned that?
all of that being said, i would like to make a public service announcement!
at least under default settings, ao3 authors do get notified every time you edit a comment. i've accidentally hit send too early before, or realized i forgot something i wanted to say, i get it, i really do. i have edited many comments in my day.
but you don't have to do this. really, it's okay. most of the time i honestly can't tell what the difference is. i'm not going to think worse of you for having typos in your comments because i guarantee that there were more in the fic you just read sfkljghsl
also these edits were over the course of twenty full minutes. i got another email while writing this post and had to update the image. please do not spend 20 minutes agonizing over your comment and changing the capitalization and adding a few words. it's okay, i promise. i love your comment, and i'm very very grateful for it, regardless of how "polished" it is. i'm not your english teacher in disguise.
tl;dr, i love you all and i hope you don't feel anxiety or a compulsion towards perfectionism in my ao3 comments section. i won't judge you, i promise <3

is it ok if people use your art for layouts with proper credit?
yes, you can use my arts for your profile pics, banners etc; personal use only, with credit! and that it's not for your own profit and benefit. we're all people who create things for fun and enjoyment ^^
though i'd like to emphasize that i also don't allow reposts and edits on my art anywhere, even with credit. what i've allowed so far is what you can do to enjoy em!

I’ve finished the third Fëanorian Week drawing. Only four more to go.... In the meantime, here’s another Star Trek post for you because 1. it’s April Fool’s Day which makes me want to post something funny, and 2. I just recently finished the third TOS season and am in denial about having run out of new episodes. But now it’s on to the movies!
I’m sure this joke has been made before, but I can’t believe this was literally a plot point in an episode.
Transcription:
[Garth as Kirk:] “Shoot him, he’s the clone!”
[Spock:] “The real Kirk would never pass up an opportunity to die!”

Undertale Orange Routes
“Pacifist”
Where Leo unintentionally murders the first couple monsters he comes across. What he does is still technically a Pacifist Route, as he was unaware, and spared every other monster he came across once he got the “MERCY” option.
True Pacifist
After realising what he did, Leo RESETs with the help of chara. He spares everyone else and shows complete MERCY to everyone.
… But he also loses the one monster kid that liked to hang around him. They got killed in the crossfire between Leo and The Judge.
Vengeance Route
Same as True Pacifist and “Pacifist”, but instead when he’s capable of giving the Royal Judge mercy, he slaughters them for doing what they did.
Genocide Route
Also called the “Rage Route”
Slaughter everyone. Everyone. And then don’t escape, but free the SOULs and continue to stay around the Underground with Chara.
Aw Buddy Route
Gives Leo Platonic/familial-yandere vibes. He keeps the Monster Child safe, at the cost of everyone else’s life. This is the only route where the Monster Child doesn’t die.
Pal Route
Leo kills everyone except the Judge, and stays underground to torment them. Becomes sadistic and uncaring, only living to toy with Judge and make them just as crazy as he is.
