If you can’t think of anything to say about a fic, writers also like to know:

- what time it is

- how long you’ve been reading

- how many chapters you’ve covered in the last 24 hours

- what you were late for because you were reading

- the woeful few hours you have left to sleep

- the emotional outbreaks you’re experiencing

- the inappropriate place you’re having said outbreak

- the general public’s reaction to your outbreak

- how much phone battery you have left

Kinda want to write a story with S&M!Ichigo as Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

I just think it’d be neat

#night’s bedtime stories #sunrise & moonfall #katekyo hitman reborn #they’d cause so much chaos in Namimori #plus magic fire #it’d suit them so well #my fics

S&M!Ichigo!!

The prettiest carrot top

An approximation of what Heart Before Hand!Eren/Ren looks like using this picrew

Pretty little crybaby

#sunrise & moonfall #all of Ichigo’s jewelry is gold but the earrings weren’t visible so I changed it #the freckles also aren’t that visible but they’re there

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

The thing about being reincarnated into a world like Attack on Titan is that there are no happy endings. Disregarding the fact that Ren reincarnated into Eren, Wall Maria would always fall and Marley would always attack to try and get the founder and even if Ren had reincarnated into someone from outside the walls, Eren would kill the majority of the world anyway and the statics were hardly in their favor.

And perhaps being reincarnated as Eren was the best possible place to be. At least this way Ren had some power, could try for a happy ending.
