We're actually mutuals on my system's main, but my headmates and I aren't publicly plural, hence the anonymous ask. But I wanted to say that your system fics bring me and a couple others a lot of comfort and help us feel a little less alone, a little more valid and a little more real. Thank you for writing them.
i've seen y'all comments on my fics and i just. never know what to respond with except for keysmashes and crying emoji's. i don't have words for how it feels to be told this, and i mean that in the most positive way possible. thank you so much

"I will talk about it if prompted" well then, more info about eret and their outfits? 👀
okay. so. this is not actually about any outfits in particular but rather clothing as a symbolism for control. i'm gonna point out a couple passages from to me, i say and talk about what they represent
He'd challenged Ranboo to a duel, like a dumbass, because he'd been high on adrenaline and fear and he'd kept looking up to see Eret, beautiful and terrifying in their highest platforms and most formal wear, looking less like a king and more like the ServerAdmin that they truly are.
doomsday is. well. doomsday. half of control is appearances. eret dresses formally and wears platforms (and unmentioned but her hair is ornately braided) for her greatest act of violence so that she appears just as powerful as her actions make her out to be. most of the people there are her enemies. she cannot let her guard down, and the stiff formality and controlled expression is her guard.
even eretsmp!eret's daily wear is formal. she's often wearing heels or platforms and towers over everyone else. she is the ServerAdmin. she is in control.
but. around someone she trusts? around foolish?
their crown and sunglasses are sitting in the sand beside them, their typical platforms exchanged for a worn pair of sneakers, their shirt untucked.
the crown is quite possibly the biggest symbol of control. when eret is wearing it, she is thinking about the Server as a whole, about what is best for it, about what actions she has to take to protect the whole. and, well, before doomsday,
"i'm doing the right thing." eret tells themself, crown on their head, tnt in their hand.
in conclusion: the more formal they look, the less they trust you. nobody except foolish knows eret owns sneakers.

FIRST and LAST :eye:
they would crown another next chapter sneak peaks
FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
Other-Eret watches Tubbo leave through the stained glass windows.
The sun is setting, mixing its warm light with the rainbow colors.
LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
Her first one had been much more intricate, much more beautiful, but Eret’s grown tired of being for show. They’re almost pointedly not looking at it.

Before the beginning with eret smp?
BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
so. at server creation
There is a loud cawing up above their head.
Eret stares at the bird in wonder, hands clutched together and pressed over their heart. They don't feel properly dressed for the birth of a Server, for their own coronation as its ServerAdmin. Commands hum beneath their fingers, knowledge of what lies beneath the Void curling at the back of their head.
A t-shirt and jeans simply won't do.

POV for any of your projects?
-Catrina
POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective
from the upcoming chapter of they would crown another, here's a paragraph of Other-Eret's perspective written just for u <3
They sit curled up in the chair, hands twisting around the hems of their hoodie sleeves. They can't stop staring at the sunset; it's the first one they've seen since arriving here, since... escaping? Yeah, yeah, escaping. Just because it wasn't their own handiwork didn't make it any less effective. Foolish and Eret's voices are a low murmur in the other room, comforting and... safe. Somehow, she feels safe.
