What's this? I actually finished a chapter for something? Honestly, it's not more likely than you think but it DID happen! Huzzah for that! Now if I just stopped making all my chapters so dang long I could update the other stuff too.

Me: alright, time to start writing again! Let’s just focus up and-

Tears of the Kingdom: *exists*

Me: I can wait a few days (weeks) to write.

—later—

Me: *cracks knuckles* okay, NOW I can use my free time to write and catch up on-

FFXVI: *exists*

Me: …okay. I mean, it’s not like there’s a deadline or anything and it’s a final fantasy game. It would feel wrong not to play it right away.

—later—

Me: NOTHING will stop me now. I have LIMITED hours to do things not work and I have IDEAS and-

Baldurs Gate 3: *exists*

Me: *sliding everything off my desk* DAMN IT, stop DOING this to me!! If one more game of epic proportions comes out to distract me I SWEAR-

Starfield: *exists*

Me: … I’ll just live in a cave for a year.

Hi! Happy to hear you're feeling better! I actually read Hawks-sensei a couple of years back, and now, after I took a break from the fandom for a while, I'm rereading it! It's just as wonderful as I remember, I absolutely love every chapter so far!

So glad to hear its not abandoned! take all the time you need to get back into writing, your wonderful story deserves it!

<3

Aww! We are on the re-reading wagon together, friend! It's definitely been an experience and I'm honestly loving it. I've mentioned a few times I think that Hawks-sensei is a work of mental chaos during a rough time so I honestly did not remember much of what I wrote. I've got the whole plan in my head but then I'll read something and go "I had that prepared THIS early?! What was I ON?! Why can't I knit like this?!"

Thank you for being such a sweetheart. Support like what you have so kindly given reminds me of why I love sharing stories and motivates me to keep doing so. I'm starting slow, writing some one-shots for stuff while I re-read Hawks-sensei so I can get used to writing again and reach a good level of focus before I keep going.

You're a bean among beans, my dear. Thank you.

Is Hideo going to make alot of appearances in Hawks-Sensei?

YES

Wishing you a cool summer with lots of air-conditioning and ice cream🍦perhaps a popsicle, some italian ice, those colored flavored plastic packets I just remembered are called Flavor-Ice, that are in no way good for you but hey, childhood nostalgia. Chillax and relax in the shade, queen 😎

WHAT THE HECK- stop that! When the heckity heck was this sent?! Tumblr won't give me a date and I can't find it in my email inbox! You know what, I'm taking all of these vibes and good wishes (ALL OF THEM) and taking them with me into this coming summer. T-T My little office just got good air conditioning too. I BLAME YOU! WITH LOVE! All love! And I return these wishes TEN FOLD! May a cooling breeze follow you like the protagonist you are!

#sweet bean response #knock it off! #too sweet! #We all deserve a protagonist breeze #pose with confidence my beans!

I don't normally ask questions, I'm pretty ashamed. I hope not bother, but I wanted to know if you're okay? :)

(Sorry if there is any mistake, english is not my native language)

What is with all this self-shame for questions?! NO SHAME! ONLY LOVE! Especially with such a sweet flipping question! I also would have never guessed english wasn't your first language, you are very good at it!

I am actually doing incredibly well! I am currently not working as a teacher. As with all of us, the last few years broke my kneecaps and threw me into the incinerator and the world forgot to turn it on so I continued existing.

And then I was reborn! Got a part time summer job at a zoo, got promoted pretty quick, and then got another one! I feel so mentally and spiritually rejuvenated here and it's been stellar. So stellar that I still continue to invest incredible overtime and physically exhaust myself. I'm getting better at that though! I think. We'll see. Anyway, I really like where I'm at. It's way more financially stable for me now too (which, honestly, is a little depressing. I feel like I do less work here but get paid far more. Sigh). Honestly, as bad as I feel for not updating anything recently I also know it's a good sign. Hawks-sensei started because I was so incredibly stressed, exhausted, and drowning in all the negative things around me that I had to keep writing. It was the only coping mechanism I had that was working and it helped me form some amazing connections that really bolstered me mentally. The feedback I got was so incredibly positive and powerful it really motivated me to keep going. And later on, when some lovely friends pointed out exactly how much I had written in a short frame of time I went "oh. I'm falling apart at the seams. Huh."

It's been quite a while now since I've felt like I NEED to write just to get my mind off things, or express myself in the only way I can because there was no way to do so in my personal life that wouldn't negatively impact me in some other way. Now I want to write because I'm just excited to share and explore the story more.

Way more details than you needed for a single question, I'm sure. I want to let you know that it made me smile when I read your question. To know you cared enough to reach out, that meant a lot. I truly hope you don't feel ashamed to ask questions in the future, the one you built the courage to ask here was incredibly kind and it made me very, very happy. Thank you.

On an equally important note (that you are not required to answer unless you want to but that I hope you think about and know that I am thinking of you and wish only the very best), how are you?

#too much sweetness #adorable bean response #heartwarming and uplifting questions #how are you? #All you beans #how are you growing #are you getting enough water #sunlight #room to grow

[thegc4life]

I hope not bother, but the story of Hawks-sensei, will you update it? or is it cancelled?

(I hope you don't mind my question, I liked the story so much, and I wanted to know if it will be updated at some point)

Never a bother, dear! Hawks-sensei is still on-going. I've had a busy bee life going on and haven't had the time or energy it deserves to have put into it but I very much want and plan to continue! I'm trying to slowly ease back into the habit of writing every day and I definitely need to remind myself of all the tiny details I put into it. Starter plan is to re-read over the next day or so, answer the reviews I haven't gotten to in each chapter, and write in between to give myself some pep breaks from all the lovely peeps leaving me warm words and feelings.

That plan starts here! Thank you for braving the question, I can totally empathize with being nervous to reach out to ask. It may take me nearly forever to answer, but I am never bothered by questions! Especially ones as sweet as yours. Knowing you enjoy the story enough to reach out like this is incredibly uplifting. I appreciate you!

What the actual heck, how long ago- all these things- literally- I can’t! Flipping… flip flipping sweet bean of unlimited bean-ness, for the love of GOD, I’ve been SHOT

The Sawada Family Takes No Crap from Nobody - GC4life, AO3

Link: Here!!

Rating: T for THEY HAVE A GENDERFLUID MAIN CHARACTER AND IT’S ADDRESSED BUT NOT HEAVILY OR A SOURCE OF SUPER ANGST, THOUGH THERE IS A FAIR AND NECESSARY AMOUNT STILL TO BE FAIR

Favorite Quote(s) sorry but these will be out of order fam: Because sometimes, you gotta stop and take notice of the Why of your habits

“I-I didn’t know how to answer her,” he laughed bitterly. “I love baseball. I love it, but I couldn’t tell her why. She asked if I was happy playing baseball and I couldn’t answer that either because I wasn’t! I wasn’t happy! I had to work all the time, by myself, and I had to keep turning my friends away when they wanted to be around me because I had to keep working! When you asked me to go on that trip with you if felt so relieved I wanted to cry, but then I realized I still had to keep working. It was driving me insane! I don’t even know why I had to work so hard. How can I love something so much when it doesn’t even make me happy?" 

Friendship

"Despite the affronts against common hygiene practices, yes. You won. Even though they were clearly going easy on you. Very impressive Nana.”

“You said that sarcastically,” her voice was shaking as she melted against the cushions, eyes fluttering, “but that was awesome.”

“I did not mean it to come off that way. It is impressive that you managed to succeed. Well done.”

“Gonna hold… this against him… forever…”

I want to be able to say something like this if I ever die 

“Ryu,” Hanazawa cut him off, “has his own. As does Shouto-kun. Each member of our family has one to give and one to keep. Even if he didn’t have one, I would still choose you. You are the only reason I could talk to Ryu. I didn’t understand him. I didn’t even know how to start. I was so upset at the time, when I realized our family line would be ending, that I pushed aside what would make him happy, what would make him complete. I hurt him, but thanks to you and your ridiculous ability to get under my skin no matter what you say or do I was able to see a way to try. You are the reason I can die happy, Nana.”

Because she’s right

“Tsunayoshi,” she called softly, voice croaking with age. “You will always lose people in your life. Either through someone’s choice or through unforeseeable circumstances your relationships with people will change for better or worse.” Her eyes drifted over to the set of photos on the wall across from them. She focused on the one of a small girl, smiling brightly with a tooth missing and cat cradled in her arms.

But also

“I don’t want to lose them.”

“Then don’t run away,” she matched his small cry with soft calmness. Blanketing the soft edges of his words with comfort. “There are some things you simply can’t stop, but this is not one of them. So long as you can still speak to him, then I see no reason why you shouldn’t try. Even if he does not understand, do not give up. You were trying to help him. If he didn’t like how you did it then he will tell you. Take his opinion into consideration, but do not give up your own if you truly believe in it. Speak to each other until you can find a common ground to exist upon and go from there.”

Because, there’s no excuse for what he did to their son. And this makes it so much worse.

“You,” she hissed. Everything over the last year and a half came tumbling down, adding fuel to the fire. The entire time they had been running through that place her mind had been flashing back to the orange flames on her son’s head flickering, then disappearing. An unwanted burden on a child’s heart. A piece of them torn away by adults that didn’t care what they wanted. What was best for them. Now she learned he was a part of the mafia and had ties, good or bad, to the people that had- had hurt those kids. Made a little boy so broken and dangerous it actually made her hesitate to talk to him. “Did you know.”

Look, a bitch. But not in a good way.

“He was crying?” Eiichi snorted. “My son plays a simple joke on him and he starts to cry?”

Welp, Nana was going to punch him. Maybe not today, in front of his son’s principal, but he would punch him. The day would come.

“It’s normal for children to cry,” Nana glared at him. “It’s normal for people to cry. I hope you’re not telling your son he is weak for doing so. It would explain why he takes things out on children younger than him though.”

Remember, always talk to your kids’ guys, trust them to be honest with you and they will unless it seems important to them.

Hina flipped open a file with three pieces of paper in it, all scribbled on with children’s handwriting. “Sawada-san, do you know why I asked you to come in?”

“I do,” Nana nodded. “I just talked to Tsuna outside.”

Last One. Do No Harm, But Take No Shit

“I think I see the problem now,” Nana informed her, hands crossing in front of him. “Tsu-kun mentioned to me that Kensuke had been making… comments about me. I had been confused because I have never met Kensuke-kun, so I’m not sure how he would know anything about our home life but I recall an incident at the Yamamoto Sushi Shop last year where the Mochida family was asked to leave for harassing me about my gender. I believe that day must have reflected on their son.”

Hina turned to them now, eyebrow raised.

Words & Chapter(s): 135,772 words and 18 of ?? chapters, Uncompleted but still updating and hella worth it.

Summary: Sawada Nana had many secrets. Some were simple (where the cookies were hidden away from small hands). Some were big (being reborn from a man to a woman was an… interesting change). Some were just ridiculous (Checkerface should really just, stop. Seriously, stop). Either way, Nana had kids to look after, and if the world thought they could take even one of the Sawada kids by force they had another thing coming. I’m looking at you Checkerface. And lemitsu. And the Vongola. And… jeez, is everyone in on this? Nana has a lot of work to do, but the kids are worth it. Featuring the adoption of numerous children, Smart Nana, adorably tuna fish, and some seriously needed smackdowns. Reborn is still kind of crazy. And he hates Checkerface. Nana likes Reborn. He can stay. The rest of you, you can go. Quickly.

Score: 13

Pairing(s): Temporary Nana/Sawada Iemitsu. Aiko/Toshiro, Lavina/The dad whose name I still haven’t learned… mostly though, romance is a background thing.

Warning(s): Iemistu is a bitch, and nobody likes his bitchass, he fucking sealed his son, nono is a bitch too, he left his adoptive son in ice sealed Tsuna thus, he is a bitch

Mentions of Mukuro’s… captivity and escape, and the things they ay or may not have done to him and the other children.

Mentions of illness, and also the effects of having an illness sort of? One of the important characters has a disease, but it’s not anyone you can really remember.

Mentions of when a character Would have but Did Not die, and how they changed that.

Pros: SHE/THEY/HE PRONOUNS AND GENDERFLUID REPRESENTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love what OP did with Nana and how they explained/dealt with everything/everyone!!! 

I love it all, from the poison immunity story, and the explanation for why you should just not fuck with Nana and her family really tbh. 

To the way, Nana adopts everyone without hesitation because somebody gotta do it, and Dammit no one else is trustworthy, good with children, and Definitely human… We’re still not sure what the Hikari family is, there are a few theories though.

To the fact that he (that was the last pronoun OP used in the fic) takes no shit from ANYONE, but the way they still made The Divorce make sense, the way it hurt a little but also how it felt like taking a deep breath after being underwater for a little too long.

UGGGGHHH I JUST LOVE THIS WHOLE FUCKING FIC!!!!!!!1!!!

Musical Aesthetic: Qveen Herby - Vitamins somehow

Gif Aesthetic: What Nana sees when someone is in need of a happy home

What everyone (normal people) else sees

Snake calling Nana on her bullshit

Kyouya and his dad’s answer to every perceived slight

What Mama Hikari is doing in the background

Chapter 2 of my @hawksbigbang fic! This time with the focus on Hawks! Surprisingly this fic about Chisaki, Hawks, and Eri has made me extremely invested and interested in Kurono. Love for him has suddenly sprouted and is growing at a rapid, nearly untamable way. 

Give some love to @emilyelizabethfowl for the flipping fantastic beta-ing of this fic (seriously, you guys have no idea how many plot holes were about to be born without her) and @kibbles-bits for the adorably heckin amazing art!
