hello rook, here's a story for you! i have not slept all night, combo of work and having to virtually attend a wedding on another continent. i open ao3 and my body suddenly becomes very awake because my phone is displaying that you only have 11 works on your profile. as someone who has dearly loved your work for years, I fly into a sleep-deprived emotional haze, fully ready to send you, "thank you so much for sharing your works they truly meant and mean so much to me" in the form of a truly massive wall of text. while writing, I open my phone again to cross-check a reference as to not embarrass myself while I pour my heart out. my phone refreshes your page, as I'd been typing the former message out for a decent while. I was in gifted works. The entire time. In fact, you had quite literally hours before updated as you like it. So considerably less panicked now: thank you so much for your works. You've genuinely gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. It's been five or six years since I started following you and your work has always been something I cherish, and I will cherish every piece you write for however long you continue to share them with us and beyond. My best friend knows the plots of all your works by proxy since I always end up assailing him with messages whenever I read a chapter. The joy I get seeing you post is a constant. I was just as excited today as when as you like it first released, only with the added relief from seeing that no, 85% percent of your works didn't disappear, my soul may have actually left my body momentarily in joy. All that to say, thank you so much, you are a delight, know that your works are much loved and that I'm rotating them around in my brain like a microwave, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. C:

HEY thank you so much. i first opened this ask at a real low point actually (unrelated to writing!) and ive reread the message a few times since to pick myself up. it's wild to hear anyone's been following me or reading my writing for that long, and it is honestly mind-blowing to me that anything i made could mean that much to someone. i'm really touched that you even told your friend about my stories. so seriously, thank you.

(it's sometimes hard to feel good enough about your own work to keep sharing it, but you've inflated my ego a good amount so my self esteem could probably handle a while longer of steady assault if need be!)

and thank you for your kind words about as you like it! i had sort of assumed that everyone had forgotten about it since it's been so long, haha. hearing people remembered it and were happy to see it again was a real joy for me. that fic meant a lot to me when i started it and it still means a lot to me now, which is why i decided to try and resume it, even if it was just for an audience of me. it's really nice to know the audience is not in fact just me! i hope you enjoy the rest of it. there are a few parts of it that i've had written since 2021 and it's still, in my opinion, some of the best writing i've ever done - we'll see if i get enough done to post it. :)

It's here! The beginning of the fancomic that I've been making for a few months now. I started planning this thing almost a year ago, and I am so excited to finally be sharing it. I'll make a proper dedicated side-blog for it later. Next couple pages drop in a week :)

Edit: Updated Navigation tools. Also, there is a side-blog now @heretherebeturtles-comic

am i crazy for thinking it should be a legal requirement for people selling arrangements with lilies to have a warning about their lethality to cats? they are one of the most common plants found in bouquets (unlike most other lethal plants like oleander and sago palm, which are usually found potted solo) and so many owners or well-meaning gift-givers are completely unaware of how a single lick of pollen is enough to kill a cat, meaning unlike other potential toxins they just get left as a table centerpiece. like sure, chocolate and grapes can kill your dog, but you are probably not intentionally leaving chocolate and grapes on surfaces your dog can reach (and they also don't shed particles). about 30% of american homes have cats in them, a percentage you can't really gloss over when it comes to precaution. if you work with florals please, please post visible warnings by your lilies, it will save kitty lives. 🙏

if anyone has any experience with anything or knows anything about something please let me know 🙏

happy new year, @copepods! This was for the @mcytblrholidayexchange! I hope you all enjoy it :3

Not to be absolutely unhinged but I think that if I buy enough tiny plastic tubs to continue breaking down every possession I own into discrete categories then eventually I will live in a home where I don't constantly have a large pile of completely miscellaneous nicknacks in the middle of the floor constantly and forever until I die

Current box count is 56

Ohhh, I'm rereading Mystra's entry in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide... and this detail:

This means Gale was punished for trying to restore and preserve what he thought was a lost piece of Mystra's magic. Gale being Mystra's ex-lover put aside. He as her follower, she his goddess, was punished for attempting to do the one foundational rule of her faith.

I'm seething and so sad at the same time.

Edit: I used the word punish loosely, as in, toxic/abusive people will take any small mistake or action and twist it into something they can take advantage of. This post was also largely from the stand point of a toxic deity rather than a toxic partner, but both takes are valid here. Especially with the, “you didn’t stay compliant so now I’m giving you the silent treatment” part of it—from a god and a partner perspective.
