[stabbyfoxandrew]

I read all your WIPs, I love Guardian Angel Andreil

Neil managed to touch Andrew's hoodie, so he doesn't pierce people/objects, interesting 🤔

It's not Wednesday but for the next one may I request Vampire Andrew?

Ps. Thank you for deciding to participate in WIPW and for sharing your projects. I also just wanted to point out that this post

https://www.tumblr.com/stabbyfoxandrew/725813187248783360/wip-wednesday is missing the Andreil tag, (for ease of finding it on Tumblr )

Thank you 🙏

Have a great day 🙂🤍

WIP Wednesday (8/23) | Vampire Andrew AU

‘Minyard is looking at me again.’  ‘He sure stares a lot. What’s his problem?’ ‘Does he ever fucking blink?’

Oh shit. Andrew’s spine snaps straight and he blinks a couple times in rapid succession before looking away. He’d been staring into space again. He does that a lot these days. It’s just not easy, being what he is. Andrew breathes in deeply, for good measure, and rises from his seat. He glares at the girl as he makes his way across the dining hall to the trash cans and dumps his nearly full tray of food.

‘What the fuck? What the fuck? Is he going to kill me or something?’

Andrew scoffs and rolls his eyes and turns on his heel to stalk towards the nearest exit sign. He pulls up his hood and pushes the door open, stepping through and immediately wincing at the brightness he’s met with. He squints and starts towards Fox Tower, the athlete’s dorm. 

In case you’ve somehow missed it, Andrew Minyard is a vampire. 

He’s got all the basic superpowers that come with such a diagnosis: super strength, speed, hearing, a heightened sense of smell… You name it, he’s got it. And Andrew’s got an extra little perk— or curse, depending on how you look at it. He can read minds. 

He doesn’t do it on purpose. It just… happens. And it’s constant. Other peoples’ thoughts float into his head 24/7 and it drives him insane. It’s hard to pay attention to anything at all with so much going on. Game nights are horrible. Thousands of people packed into the stands, all mentally complaining about how the game is going or the sticky seats or the kid sitting next to them. But he’s not sure how to turn it off.

He really wishes he could.

[the-stove-is-divorced]

Hi! Love all your work, even the one I haven't read yet, and wanna ask the following: (you can answer one or both if you want, don't feel the need to answer if you don't wanna )

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

🦋what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

Oh my goodness, thank you so much anon!!! (´,,•ω•,,)♡♡♡ I'll happily answer both, but thank you kindly.

🌈 is there a fic that you worked really fucking hard on that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

But boy, so many fics are difficult for so many reasons. Mostly my inner sense of perfectionism is my own downfall, and if I have to juggle +3 characters in a single scene. I want to say, off the top of my head, it feels like we only go backwards is one of the most difficult? It'll always be one of the fics I wanted to read myself so I wrote it instead, haha, but basically balancing two protagonists and two arc's that go in, for lack of better word, kinda go in inverse directions,,,, is difficult to say the least. That with alternate POV's, which I feel I struggle with 'cause I don't know as well, makes it hard not to fiddle with for centuries. I still have a small inkling to re-do it entirely, but I want to at least finish it.

That and fics that have a crumbling voice, for lack of better phrasing. When I have a strong sense of character and thus POV, it can flow much better even with months in between posting/writing. But when I'm uncertain it's like a damn bloody battle to endure. It can make putting it off for ages when it gets too difficult. The same fic as above, Human!Steven has such a strong voice it helps with writing, but Pinko? Agony.

🦋 what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

Insecure? On reception! I think that's pretty common for any fic writer, but if people plainly don't like it, and don't engage. If a fic truly does super poorly and I'm in a bad mood, I'll make it anonymous. As a personal philosophy I try to resist the urge to delete fics as every fic in this world is wonderful to someone, whether that be now or in 10 years, but pretending they're not mine so I can forget? Yeah. Definitely. I think my ultimate nightmare is someone insulting it, as ruins motivation and is unnecessarily mean. I haven't had it happen, thank goodness! ♡

Fun fact for you, I suppose, there's legit a bnha fic I stopped updating because of a comment (￣ ￣|||), I deleted ages ago, but it shredded what motivation was already so thin so I stopped. Bnha fandom is still kicking so one day I'll come back, I think. ╮( ˘ ､ ˘ )╭

As a more positive note, comments that come way after I haven't posted in a while are one of the the most epic things! They help remind me people are still willing to wait, and want to read! Helps me choose what fic to work on next, haha! ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

#asks #tysm for asking anon!!! #i never talked about this stuff on here so this is nice :) #writing blog doing writing blogs tings! #and again thank you so much !!! you're so kind !!!

[frostycatblr-fandom-files]

if you're sitting there feeling sorry for yourself, wondering why no one's commented on your hiatus status(es), i'll help you figure out why

you're behaving like a selfish, entitled bitch. you're throwing a pity-me-party while you accuse people of favoritism in the same breath. like, no wonder your ~CoMmUniTy~ won't feel sorry for you, or interact with your bad artwork or your other uninspired bullshit when you bitchfit that no one's sharing your shit: no one wants to interact with that melodrama. there's better writers out there that don't cry about interaction bullshit.

you need to grow the fuck up, and maybe do people all a favor by not coming back.

Wow... thank you for sending me this present shortly before Christmas (Dec. 20th, to be exact). Real lovely stuff.

So listen while I break this down by section and say things later on that I don't mean:

If you're going to call me an 'entitled bitch' or criticize my content, you should really take ownership of your words like a grown-up first. You're welcome to those opinions, I suppose; but it means NOTHING when you send me this from a position of cowardice. If your goal was to hurt my feelings and upset me, I would only award you with partial congratulations, if that.

I'll concede it was a bit of a "bitchfit" if it makes you happy, because yes, it kind of was. I'll take ownership of that: I should have been better, and I wasn't. I should have been a lot calmer, and I wasn't.

Maybe then more people would have given a damn about me and what I had to say. Or maybe they wouldn't. I don't know anymore, quite frankly. I can't say I ever did.

Your point about "better writers out there [who] don't cry about interaction bullshit" is wrong, by the way. I can think of several fan writers (and I'm not going to compare content quality because that's gross) either on my dashboard or in fandom tags (many with larger followings + outreach than me) who've complained about lowered interaction these days at one time or another.

Or several times, even. It was largely and perfectly fine when they spoke up about it. Weird to me, anon, how it's okay when these unnamed and so-called "better writers" speak up, but not the little guys.

Some people are a little too comfortable telling those with smaller followings/outreach to just suck it up because interaction has been bad for everyone lately. Or placate themselves with excuses for why they didn't offer any sympathy to people who admit to struggling with feeling like belonging, or those wishing they felt more included. Noticed. Remembered. (Whatever the case may be.)

I mean I've seen who repeatedly makes the cut on these stale recommendation lists that float around… Your 'pool of so many talented writers/artists in this fandom' is more of a damn puddle. You'll have to fucking forgive me for just wishing to be remembered (for one or the other) and included in these little "~fandom enrichment activities~" at this point once in a damn while! Why's it such a fucking crime to you, anon, that I just want people to remember I'm here too?

I spoke my feelings about things feeling like a popularity contest rather than a true community back in December, and you thought that warrants calling me a selfish, entitled bitch? Telling me do people a favor and not come back?

What the fuck??????

I think you're something of a rancid tar pit for hoping to kick someone while they were down, or whatever it was you intended by all that. Did you get the warm and fuzzies typing this out? Did you feel good about yourself for choosing to be malicious to someone going through a hard time? Someone admitted they were going through a hard time between Seasonal Affective Disorder, and being upset about a lot of trivial stuff, and you thought "Hey; let's pile on!" was the correct solution rather than offer any kindness where you had witnessed a lack of?

It would be so tempting to stoop to your level and wish you nothing but ill on top of telling you to do me a favor and fuck off; I'm going to encourage you to learn to have a little more compassion for people instead and be a better person than whatever you are now going forward. May you learn to be kinder to people in the future, anon… You make the world a far better place that way.

#bad anon no biscuit #lesson for next time is to just ghost the blog for a month since no one's going to notice or care I guess. only tell you to leave #that's only partial sarcasm #a couple of people showed they cared or said nice things before the holidays. and to that short list of people I just want to say thank you #otherwise my activity page was very quiet #and some other things happened that reinforced my decision to not really want to participate with this space for the time being #simple fact there's someone out there who's too comfortable with being nasty to people and telling you to fuck off... #fuck man!!!! it's been a long time since crying over some damn anon hate but this was too much for me #''help you figure out why'' no you're not being helpful you're actually just being a prick for no good reason! #im done im so fucking tired i don't want to look at this fucking ask anymore #i feel sick to my stomach right now fuck

Thais have so many opportunities to make films based on local folklore, but for some reason they so rarely do it, and almost always in short films

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO???????????????? MY GOD WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TREAT THIS WAS I LITERALLY GOT CHILLS

i will forever be in awe at what great of a story you can tell in only 20 minutes when you have enough artistic vision. and the fact that this was shot with an iphone???????? there are hollywood movies that don't even have this quality!!!!!!!!! like these shots alone are INSANE

also when bas tried to burn the mask but the house went up in flames instead??????? TO ME THAT'S CINEMA

okay sorry im done gushing about this, let me get back to your message. honestly idk enough about thai medias as a whole to judge, i can only speak about QL series and when it comes to those i definitely think companies could draw way more inspiration from their folklore and mythology to build a story out of it. i do think we are slowly starting to get a little bit of that tho: im still stuck on episode 3 of the sign, but the naga and garuda are mythical beings that in thai's culture dwell within the himmapan forest, and now with goddess bless you from death we're maybe gonna delve a little into all the many ghosts of their folklore

but yeah in general i think there can never be enough media based on mythology and folklore so i absolutely agree with you on this and hopefully we'll get to see more of it in the upcoming years!!!!!!!

#also like. i think people associate folklore with horror but it would be nice to see the industry experiment with different genres #ANYWAY. thank you so so much for sending me this anon i absolutely LOVED it!!!!!!! #hope you're having a wonderful day!!!!!! 💜💜💜 #m: ask #thai media

[not-poignant]

Hey, I just wanted to say that your writing has been so eye opening, and validating for me, and I'm so grateful for that. You write from a perspective that I've never seen anything like before, and I feel like I'm a better person for having read your work.

I'm writing this just before bed, and this is such a nice anon to respond to before like...getting some shut-eye.

I really appreciate your words so much anon, and you're so kind to have written them. It makes me so happy that you're enjoying / getting something out of the writing! And I hope you continue to in the future as well :D

i started feeling better but now i have a cold n it sucks!! but happy to hear you’re doing better n not so stressed!! uuu I would love some healing time napping in there while he goes about his day or sleeping while laying on his belly with no one else knowing! were small enough that no one would probably see us in him anyway but his uniform is also rly big so there’s no worries and we’re all his ❤️

intestines in safe stuff are super underrated to me cuz its like the same nice pressure of being swallowed but way way longer and v.olo can talk during this one! n he could say how much he trusts us to go into a sensitive spot like that and how he loves the feeling and rubs where we are sometimes tracing our path into his lower belly uuuuu I want him to rly enjoy us in there!!

I wanna be teleported out before it gets to the weird point but theres hours of time before that happrns cuz its slow and long and its so relaxing being gently squeezed around deep in him and knowing its totally safe for us and rly enjoyable for him >w<

uuu hed be surprised how much he likes us in there when we get swallowed the first time! and when we calm down a little bit and get used to where we are n what happened we see its kinda nice in here and V.olo gently presses on his stomach to see if were ok and uuuuu he’s so kind with us!! ❤️

omg yes we spend so much free time just talking and relaxing with him and his team and our mons can play together!! n maybe V.olo holds on to our po.keba.lls and takes care of our team while were in his belly so they get to know him and its like one big happy group!! a pile of us and him and both our mons while we relax and chat abiut ruins after we’re let out and unshrunk sounds like alot of fun too!

if thats what happens then m.erman v.olo would be super fun to journey with! its like we have a warm personal pool in there safe from cold water and deep ocean pressure and we get to look at what he found later and he gets a partner to talk to and not be alone!! hed ask if we wanna join him to look for artefacts and when we say yes hed get us in his mouth with a quick HOMF and swallow us right down so excitedly cuz he loves spending time with us! omg youre right he’d be so pretty with golden scales!! theyd be rly pretty with his grey eyes

Halfsize is so special to me omg!! It’s a lot more effort for him but that means finally getting us down is way more satisfying for him too!! uuuu licking his lips and telling us how pleasantly full he is now and massaging our spot a little as soon as were all the way inside his first stomach just so it’s a little extra comfy for both us and him while he waits uuuuu >w< that sounds rly cute btw id love to hear him humming happily from our new spot in him! We could probably feel him humming and sighing all pleased with this too! uuu him snoozing with a hand over his belly or reading a book until we finally get squished into his tail stomach with a sigh of happiness from him is good too cause he had to work alot to get us down and that has to make him sleepy. and it’s a good thing he’d be solitary cuz then he doesn’t have to get interrupted while he’s enjoying his full belly of his favorite human ❤️ and we get to be in there a long while too getting rested on and rubbed at and a little kiss!!!! >w<

omg omg I’m super duper excited for the new game!! X./Y left a lot of things open and not quite done n the sta.rters didnt get m.egas but this feels like its gonna give it the fixes it needs!! and its a l.egends game and theyre taking their time for it so I’m already rly excited!

- v.olo uwu

I'm alive! Sorry this is a bit late but my mood dropped like crazy this past week 😞 I'm glad to hear you've been doing better! Cold sucks so bad though, hopefully it went away in the meantime! 🥺

Mmmmm I agree! We could totally stay in his belly to heal as he does his errands or takes a nap, it'd be very relaxing and we'd all benefit from it! And it's true, his G.inkgo G.uild uniform can definitely hide us away since it's so cozy and large x3 we're absolutely pretty tiny too, we'd be undetectable basically all the time xD

Ngl, intestines stuff are definitely underrated in vore. Personally I love the thought of travelling through the long tunnel of the small intestine, surrounded by all the villi 🥺👉👈 I'm a big endosoma fan, and simply the idea of exploring someone else's digestive track even on deeper levels makes me very happy xD

So I wouldn't mind if we did this with V.olo's permission lol, he'd probably find it soothing and rub our spot a lot along our way x3 also yeah we'd teleport out before the weird point, but I think being in his intestine would be something very cute, and the squeezing would feel like a hug from him! ❤️

Yeah, his first time eating us would be a bit confusing at the start but then we'd all find ourselves kinda comfortable in the situation 🥺💕 he'd stroke his stomach to reassure us that everything is fine, and that we're perfectly safe inside of him! He's really a kind soul 🥺❤️

Oh I like the idea! We could chill in his belly, maybe to rest after a long day, while he takes care of our p.okemon team as well! They could all play together, he'd give them treats and pets and then the cuddle pile begins xD We'd definitely introduce him to our mons before he eats though, I imagine them going full protective mode if they saw him swallow us down with no context at all xDD and it'd be always lovely to hear him discuss ruins and ancient myths, especially when our beloved p.okemon are there with us!

Omg, now that I think about it, both m.erman!V.olo and n.aga!V.olo sound a bit lonely ;-; the former would be more curious and eager to show us the ancient artefacts he gathered from the bottom of the sea, and take us with him as he talks about them and looks for more 🥺 he knows a good way to keep up safe as he swims underwater, and omgggg, the NOMF as he sends us down would be so adorable!!!

While n.aga!V.olo would relish in spending most of his days on his own, maybe in his cave, if he shared his time and space with us it'd mean we're very special to him! ❤️ Half-sized vore works wonders here, I appreciate when a pred takes longer than usual to gulp down their prey x3 and I bet he'd be so satisfied after we fill his belly! ❤️ He'd definitely lick his lips and he curls up in his coils xD

I imagine he'd be able to send us in his second stomach immediately, but he takes his time to enjoy us in first belly too xD so he doubles the time we get to spend inside of him, hehehe x3 and I bet we'd have even more of his attention, once we've settled in his tail, with all the rubs, the hums and the kisses! x3 that's most likely his favorite spot for us to be, since we're his favorite human 🥺❤️ and we're 100% not coming out for a while xD ❤️ (Mmmmm, I'm definitely not thinking of writing some n.aga!V.olo vore AU rn now, lmao xD)

Oh I had no idea! :O I've only heard people say X./Y are among the worst p.kmn games, I'd love to see what they're gonna include in this new L.egends game! I'm actually intrigued! Plus I liked the combat style and the different gameplay from L.egends: A.rceus, so I can't wait!

#i'm really sorry for making you wait dear anon #i loved this ask and i'm glad we agree on basically everything we've said hehe #i hope you've been doing well in these past few days! i'm sending you hugs and positive energy if you didn't 💕 #i love n.aga!v.olo so much now lmao #i think he'd be a little possessive over us and i'm all over it 🥺🥺❤️❤️ #he'd be like “you're so nice to me. you know what. i'm keeping you” and then he eats us xD #mmmmmm... n.aga!v.olo brainrot...... #thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas again dear v.olo uwu anon!! i appreciate it!! #safe vore #g/t vore #half size vore #endosoma #intestines #v.olo uwu anon #n.aga!volo #m.erman!v.olo #v.olo vore rambles #v0re #my asks

I read your latest fic and it was sooo sweet and atmospheric! I’m going to write a proper review on AO3 but just wanted to reach out here too! I saw that you have some anxiety about writing, but just know that you’re amazing and you’re amazing for finishing fics! I’ve started so many over the years and haven’t ever posted one 🥲

!!! Anon thank you so much!!! I really appreciate this more than I can say 💗 I look forward to the ao3 comment, so I can know more about any other thoughts you had on the fic! And the thing about finishing fics has made me realize I used to be a person who considered it inspirational in others, but unthinkable for myself, to post a finished fic online... And now I have done that. With more than one fic, even. It has happened. Wow. I feel a bit better 😭

I hope you consider this inspirational for yourself too... There are people out there who want to read your fics 🌻

#anon messages so nice that I consider them suspicious... #I reread this several times thinking is this fake... is this a person I know trying to cheer me up... #I don't know if I maybe have issues #but if you are real which I suppose you are because it is probably insane to think you're not #then thank you again!! so so much!! #post your fics if you think it'll make you happy!! you can do it 🌻 #anon #ask

[princekirijo]

I think you're an absolute sweetie and I love you very much. It's always a joy to see you sharing art of characters you love and seeing all of your tags praising the artwork and artist. I love hearing what you have to say about your favourite characters whether it's a full-blown analysis or just goofing around with random headcannons. And I love your OCs and always look forward to learning more about them. But more than all that, you're just a delight as a person and I always look forward to seeing you appear on my dashboard. 💖💝

Anon 😭😭😭😭😭

God I've reread this ask and the other one like 7 times today y'all are so damn sweet I love you too 😭

I'm really glad you enjoy my character analysis and silly hcs I honestly should do more of em again I feel like it's been a while since I've done some real good ones you know. And again I'm really really glad you enjoy my tags and my OCs it means a lot 🥹

#asks #anonymous #god. reading 'i love you very much' and 'you're a delight as a person' #was just so touching thank you. really needed to hear that 😭 #and again!!! im glad you enjoy my rambles!! #i am so bad at getting wrapped up in my own doubt that its nice to have someone kinda bap me on the head and be like #'prince its cool we enjoy it go wild' #so yeaj thank uou so much anon i love you too 😭 you're very very kind

2 awkward moods from reading this blog: 1) Nnoitra, you are disgusting 2) closeted bisexuals solidarity ///Toby you&ur writing are great <5

❝ I hate 'ta break it 'ta ya, but most guys are like me. Maybe some pretend 'ta be nice, but it's just so they can get some pussy. ❞ That would be his reply to being called ' disgusting ' ( it was not something new to him ). He supposed people were used to guys censoring themselves, to at least seem like they were decent. Nnoitra was not about that. He didn't like being fake. Like HELL he was going to change who he was just to make others comfortable. If people couldn't deal with him? It was their fucking problem.

--- As for being closeted. That was a different matter. That was not about faking something, but rather just keeping something private. If he didn't do that, then people would perceive him in a different way. They'd see him as something he was not. So, by keeping this part of him hidden, he actually gave people a MORE authentic view of him. That's how he saw it anyway. Sometimes, it was frustrating. A lot of the times, he wished the world was different, so that he didn't have to be closeted. And SOMETIMES, he even wished someone would understand what it was like. Maybe he didn't want to talk to someone about it, but yeah - having some solidarity would be nice.

#[ !! thank you very much for the ask anon! :O ] #[ you're so nice t-t i'm very happy you enjoy my writing! ] #[ AND ALSO !! i try to write nnoitra as a multi-layered character ] #[ because yeah he's absolutely horrible but even he has sides to him that people can relate to ] #[ so it makes me super happy that you can see the different sides of him! ] #[ thank you very much for sending this kind ask! ] #despair for me. ╱ in character. #talking shit. ╱ answers. #burn the city. ╱ main verse. #[ and also - i hope you reach a point where you feel safe and comfortable about being bisexual ]

[aggressive-almond-cookie]

Your Splatoon thoughts are always sooo interesting and ya anarchy modes are pretty complex. I feel like clam bitz is the mode people are more likely to feel a little lost in because it feels made for team communication (which of course no everyone can get).

I saw what you said about not being sure who should be riding the tower and i think I've seen many opinions on it, but what I do know for sure is that probably the worst person to ride it is whoever has the best killing weapon.

In this case if you play tetras I'd say that's you, since you'll be more useful pushing ahead and taking out the enemy so that the person on the tower stays safe. Of course there's always some situations when you should get on it no matter what weapon you have, like when you see a good opportunity to clear a checkpoint or if you are really close to getting lead and no one's around.

Same goes for who picks up rainmaker I would say.

I also think it's really cool that you main tetras! Tetras and gloogas are the dualies I've basically never played and I've been thinking of trying tetras. I'm looking forward to them getting a second kit.

Ohhh, that makes sense, now that I think about it. I guess whenever you're engaging with the objective, you're not out there splatting or controlling space, so maybe the logic to some extent is that you kind of want to throw the player at the objective who is the least suited to whatever combat-related stuff is or needs to be happening at the moment, whether that's by weapon type or sheer proximity to the action.

I guess what just really hasn't clicked in with me yet is like... any sense of awareness of what the current state of the game is at any given time. It all happens so fast and is changing so fast and I'm not entirely sure how to improve at consciously managing my awareness of what is going on, let alone figure out how to make choices based on what is going on. I've started to watch videos of comp matches on my work breaks and even seeing the whole field and having commentary, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around what is going on and what the logic is behind the decisions that any of these players are making. It just looks and feels like everyone is just running everywhere randomly at all times. But I'm hoping eventually it will start to click in with me and start to make sense, and then maybe I can apply some of that logic to my own games, at least as much logic as one can assume of their teammates in solo queue.

I am really, really enjoying tetras! They're everything I love about this game including being as chaotic and annoying and distracting as possible plus they just feel really cool, hah. Even though I feel like I'm not terribly good at them and tend to squander my dodge rolls and also roll myself into places I don't intend to, it's challenging in a way that I'm finding satisfying to work towards overcoming, if that makes any sense. Sometimes I do question if it was it the wisest choice to go into my first action-shooter game with a history of poor visual processing and slow reflexes and settle on (arguably) one of the most mechanically intensive weapons in the game. To some extent maybe I'm stubbornly trying to prove a point to myself, and I don't know if it's helping or hindering me, but at least right now I am still finding a lot of fun and satisfaction in it. The reefslider buff we just got isn't hurting either!

I do miss dapples sometimes, and I still have my eye on wiper, but my current plan is to stick with these for as long as it takes for me to get a grasp on everything other than constantly adjusting to various weapon mechanics, just so my muscle memory has less to worry about while I build awareness and strategy and understanding of the rest of the game. Then maybe I'll diversify. But right now it's hard to imagine I'll love anything else as much as I love these!

#thank you thank you so much for this anon #appreciate this this so much #you're so nice and this feedback is everything to me #it's so validating that my thoughts are worth reading #sorry it took me days to reply I splatfest'd so hard I forgot about tumblr and then slept for days lol #splatoon #aiko plays squid games

This might be silly, but I've followed you for almost 10 years and I just felt like I wanted to share. I just got engaged to my boyfriend of 4.5 years, and I'm so happy! He knows you as "my author" and asks me weekly if my new chapter came out, and how good it was, lol, or "was there any BDSM this chapter?" We love talking about your work, even if he's never read a word. He knows about most of the characters!

Ahh congrats on your engagement!!! That's so wonderful. :D

And omg, this was just so sweet to read, thank you so much for sharing it. Honestly that's kind of how Glen and I are, where he doesn't read my stories, but he knows enough about the characters that he understands if it's a big deal if I'm doing something angsty to Efnisien, or if the Raven Prince is around, lol.

But this is just so so lovely and I'm like, rolling around happily thinking about it. Thank you so much for sharing, and congrats again on the engagement!

i appreciate how fierce you are in your slander against blood libel the game. costing peace of mind to lead this battle, defending jewish and trans people along the way. you're doing amazing <3

anon i love you for real. this is very sweet, thank you 🖤 happy to delete stupid transphobic shit from my inbox for at least the sake of making sure my blog is a safe space for my trans and jewish mutuals if they didn't know that already. i'm carrying such an indescribable amount of anger over this so if you see me devolve into incoherent violence in the next few days just try and be niceys to me for a little bit haha <3

#thank you for real though. i'm holding anger but also so much... grief. after brianna's murder on saturday. #even if fucking nobody else says something i /have/ to say something because i know the fucking damage shit like this is doing #and i won't be gaslit about it OR goaded into betraying the people that i am an ally to. #the transphobic comments and anons are really whatever i can delete and block and all that. #but brianna's death... god. i've just been crying a lot these past few days so. nice to get a nice message <3 #i will never stop being a fierce slanderer of any of this bullshit. all of this is only making me angrier and stronger in that anger #and fuck anyone who's like 'oh you're not gonna get through to anyone in that way' #god fucking forbid i be angry about the damage being done to my community and the CALLOUS disregard for it from EVERYONE fucking else. #god fucking forbid i point out the damage being done to communities that i care about because they're human fucking beings. #anyway. much much love to you. i hope you and yours are well #<3 #ask
