ok i never say this but your work is incredible.

you are such a skilled, TALENTED writer i am literally awestruck. your prose, pacing, and just sheer MASTERY of how to communicate with the english language blows me away.

you never seem to cave in and let characters make up!! you let them make mistakes and be consequences!! you let them be human!

and yet you manage to keep so much of the vibe of hazbin (ie, Vox's suggested "va-va-voom")? and it's MATURE in a way the show fails but you dont??

i have gone and read practically every radioapple fic on ao3 worth anyone's salt and yours is by far one of the two best ones on there.

just wanted to express my utmost appreciation for you as a fellow writer

-dips hat- kudos!

They are too complicated to have an easy path - and they're stubborn. I let them act as they would - so they keep clashing until something gives...

I am not writing a musical, which makes it easier to have a more serious tone, I think. The constraints of the medium are entirely different!

Gosh, thank you, you're too kind! I'm just glad you love my story so much!

[syaunei]

firsy of all, i need to scream just how much i love Ruination of Lucifer ! you inspire me with my own writing, i just love the way you use words and how descriptive you can be !

second, i was wondering: do you write the chapters between each update, or do you have it all written and it's just a matter of publishing it once a week/when you can ? 🤔

Aww, thank you!

Well, I used to have an 8 chapter buffer but my laptop breaking meant I couldn't really write much for several weeks. I am writing inbetween updates, but am down to around 3 chapters that I have in reserve, which means I have to pick up the pace. I honestly dread running out of chapters to post, which is why I had to stop answering my comments temporarily - it takes away from much needed writing time. I also enjoy having a big buffer so I can edit the chapters as many times as I can to screen for potential plot holes, typos, awkward phrasing and the like. And yes, I post once a week to give myself time time to write more and keep the quality up. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with the weekly updates at some point, and might have to go down to once every two weeks, but I'm still thinking about it.

Yesterday I walked past a busker who was playing Libertango and my IMMEDIATE thought was "hey it's the song from the dress chapter of Ruination"

In case there was any doubt of how obsessed I am with your fic lol (I'm halfway through the newest chapter rn, I love it, as always)

Hahaha, it's a great piece! I'm very flattered you now associate it with my story!

[syaunei]

i am obsessed with your story, you got me checking AO3 almost everyday for an update😭 fucking 1000/10 LOVE ITTT

Awww, thank you, dear anon! I'm happy you're enjoying Ruination! ❤️

[syaunei]

We all know—and crave—the ocasional art pieces from Betti in your story. I was just wondering how you two crossed paths and how you came to agree on including their artwork in your story? I mean…the first Betti work is like only 3 chapters in or something like that.

Just wondering. And I’m super excited for tomorrow’s chapter! I hope things are getting better on your end ❤️‍🩹

Betti was one of my first commenters, actually! She reached out to me, asking if she could draw fanart, so we got to talking, and somehow we ended up in an artistic symbiosis, haha! I love collaborating with her, she is very open to my horrible nitpicking about detail that I sometimes have a hard time describing.

Other times, she completely surprises me and adds detail into her art that I didn't write in, but it's so visually stunning that my brain goes "Yes, this is correct, this is how it always should have been." Prime example is the marble fireplace in art for chapter 10. Oof. That masterpiece still gives me goosebumps - Alastor’s worshipful, slightly deranged look, the lighting... gods. Gets me every time.

Have you seen the CMV made by Lucienk on YouTube?! If not, you NEED to!!! It's based on ROL!!!!

I have!! They sent it to me, and I was blown away - their Lucifer is just perfect, such vulnerability, oof. Incredibly well-filmed and edited, all-around stellar!

[syaunei]

I just found your fic tonight and I just read all of it and I think I'm going to explode

Ily

Aww, thank you! Please don’t die, I like you too much to let you explode! ❤️

[syaunei]

1st for @notherpuppet 's My Deer Nanny comic,

2nd for radioapple art kiss train and

3rd is for @syaunei 's Ruination of Lucifer fic!

[syaunei]

There is not a single person in this beautiful Hazbin fandom who doesn’t know your work and nary a Radioapple fan who isn’t actively reading it. It’s just —- a central and common thread in the community, my god. 💖

Awww, I am turning to utter mush, thank you!

I never expected such a massive response to my work, and it makes me so happy to see so many people enjoying it. 💕

[syaunei]

Sweet, merciful heavens, this made me laugh so hard! It's so special to see fanart that brings a scene to life so beautifully! 💖

Chapter 37 of Ruination of Lucifer by @syaunei had me hollering with these two.

[Click for better quality]

[syaunei]

Tango fanart for Chapter 36! Gods, they are so stylish together!

For @syaunei ! For chapter 36 of Ruination of Lucifer

[syaunei]

More gorgeous fanart, I die! Thank you so much for this beauty!!

This is what happens when I'm hyped up about a fanfic and don't know how to describe it TwT

Yes I'm talking about Ruination of Lucifer. The entire chapter 36 broke me but let's focus on the dress scene only

Thank you @syaunei your story makes me roll and sob every weekend 💕

No color in the last one because I got tired but you get the idea, shojo manga vibes XD

Aww Al, you're so in love with him... her... them(?

Go read this fanfic guys, it's amazing ❤

[syaunei]

Awwww, what a cutie!!! I love it so much, thank youuu! 😭

Inspired by @syaunei Ruination of Lucifer on AO3 and @betti2024 artwork of Chapter 24 🍎

I absolutely adore this fic and this scene has been on my mind for weeks now, thank you to the lovely author and artist for their work

[syaunei]

Me after reading what Vox did to Alastor:

Hahahaha! That's a good reaction, I approve! 😂

I raise you this:

[syaunei]

“Alastor moves forward, wrestling with the covers to get closer to Lucifer, who’s still standing in the same spot, lightly flushed and expectant. Now perched at the edge of the bed, Alastor cups Lucifer’s cheek, clawed fingertips teasing the soft skin of Lucifer’s neck and draws him in.”

Inspired by that lovely make out session in Chapter 24 of @syaunei’s amazing fic Ruination of Lucifer. ✨✨

I noticed in your comment section that you've been dying to share this most recent (STELLAR BTW HOLY SHIT) chapter with us for weeks! I'm curious how far ahead you are in the actual fic (you must have a good buffer to be able to update once per week!). Are you done with the fic? Or still working on it, just a few chaps ahead?

Indeed! 34 chapters have been written, and I am far from done. I have about a third left to write? I know exactly what will happen, but not necessarily the number of chapters it will take to get there. I used to update twice a week but had to slow down to preserve my health (and my sanity). Thank you for reading and being invested, dear anon!

[syaunei]

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I love your fanfic Ruination of Lucifer so much I’ve started imagining my own OC in it. I know it’s kinda cringe but it’s just become such a huge source of happiness for me.

I don't think that's cringe, dear anon.

In fact, I'm thrilled you find the story so immersive that you can find a place in the tapestry for your own character - I think that's lovely!

I'm so happy the story sparks joy for you!

I hope you continue to enjoy it moving forward as well. 🥰
