my personal good things of 2024 list! 🎊

okay OKAY already starting things off getting weepy about Overmorrow. I knew even last year that it was special, but I don’t think I really understood the scale of it until it was finished (or so I thought ⊙◟◞⊙). It’s something I’m truly passionate about, and I’m really happy that it’s driven me creatively throughout the entire year. I didn’t expect it to snowball into something so big, but when I sit and really think about it, I think it’s a story that’s been trying to claw its way out of my chest for years now. Thank you for all the love and support!!

In related news, I’ve been working on Project E nearly every day. It’s been good exercise for me as a writer. Frustrating at times, but rewarding. We’re almost there, I promise. It’s gonna be so much fun~

Met some awesome people this year, but special mention goes to Scala HQ gang!! You know who you are 🫶 You’re all lovely and it was so nice to get to know all of you more this year

One of my cousins got married! My parents and I flew out to Jacksonville for the wedding. We met his wife for the first time and she was so kind

I read a lot of great books this year. Didn’t read nearly as much as I wanted to, but everything I did read was pretty memorable. Honourable mention goes to ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin. It made me cry like a baby 🥺❤️

MISSING LINK!!!! girl I miss you 😭 the May beta gave us so much cool stuff to think about before she disappeared off the face of the earth for the rest of the year. But the glimmer of hope was there!! We tasted the game on the tip of our tongues!! 2025…!! 👊

aaaaa the Switzerland trip in July! This was an unexpected joy. What an incredible adventure. So many beautiful sights I’ll never forget. It wasn’t all easy! It was exhausting, especially in the summer heat. I got sick halfway through. And of course we can’t forget getting stuck in Frankfurt after missing the flight. But I don’t regret a second of it. And Plushiemer had a great time too 😄

went crazy with The Art this year, if I do say so myself

Speaking of art, I finally watched all of Arcane and it was incredible! I feel like I could choose any shot from the show and study the artistic techniques used in it. Don’t even get me started on the narrative and character arcs

There were a lot of times this year where people in my life showed how much they cared about me, even those whom I haven’t spoken to in a while. I really can’t understate how much this means to me. For the first time in a long time, I felt like a whole person through knowing how others see and think of me. I could cry just thinking about it

I got a job I’ve wanted for a long time yaayyy!!!

10 YEARS OF EPHY??? INSANE. I can’t believe I’ve had my boy for over a decade now. Still love him as much as I did on day 1, and more. Also, it was super fun to host Ephemer Week!!

aaand shoutout to the other stuff I forgot about

Overall, this was actually a really great year for me! I think I grew a lot. There’s so much I didn’t get to do, and put off, but I’m looking forward to getting around to them in 2025 👊✨ Hope it’s an awesome year for us all, especially in terms of kh content

*deep inhale*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH😭😭😭😭

I’ll say it. I think this is one of my favorite if not THE favorite sick fic I’ve read thus far, ever…and I read a lot of sickfics lol 😂.

seriously and genuinly, everything about this last chapter was just so ridiculously good. Tighnaris affection, just him..like him *genuinely* not being bothered by Cyno being sick and all gross and icky, the way he just holds him and comforts him…when he was ROCKING HIM??? HELLO???? BABY BOY?????? I can’t. It radiates comfort and safty cuz nari would probably take care of Cyno forever if he needed to, and vice versa and that’s just so- there aren’t words for this!!!!- Also when Cyno began to cry…my heart literally sank. Which is just a testament to your writing for one, but also just, he was finally at his breaking point 🥺 between getting sick and making a mess and hurting Tighnari, plus that wildly high fever…poor poor thing. I love torturing him as much as the next freak but he truly was *going through it* (making me so excited to see more and explore that anxious puker and all the other silly head cannons we’ve made for this boy)

I loooooveee the fic ends too 😭😭😭 Tighnaris birthday, cyno finally *finally* getting some relief. And just the pure coziness of it all. I feel like this whole vacation will be a story that is shared with their friends upon returning and for many years to come and I love that so much 🥺

I believe that nari managed to get by with maybe just a bad cold since he was smart and wore layers, but I also believe Cyno would wait on him hand and foot, doing everything he could to make sure he returned the favor. Although he probably would end up needing to slow down cuz you don’t just casually jump from being that sick to 100% in a day. But like whatever, it’s a happy ending and they are all okay in the end 🥰

SAP TIME

I’m continually so happy to have found this blog and the others who follow and enjoy your work. Being able to find solace amongst like minded folk Sharing a niche interest with so much passion is not something I’d think possible not to long ago. Being able to share and freak out and fixate on stuff is one thing but seeing others around you who feel the same- priceless. I am thankful ☺️

100/10 work as always Earthquake, enjoy that break…. Enjoy All the things, you’ve earned it 😭

I can’t wait to see what you do next, and to see Cyno throw up on naris shoes or heizou give him self a concussion or..whatever you write

it’ll be fantastic

I don't have words, this whole comment just absolutely made my day 😭 I am almost emotional reading this, you have no idea how much this means to me

I am so immensely happy you enjoyed the fic as much as you did!! I already had a lot of fun writing it and would never have regretted the time spent on it, but knowing it brought somebody else this much joy just makes it so much more worth it!

I love writing these two boys so, so much, their whole relationship is just so soft and gentle and perfect. I loved writing Tighnari in this fic, pulling out all the stops for his boyfriend. Really showing the through thick and thin part of a relationship 😭 These two will ALWAYS be there for each other, come what may.

When I first started this fic I didn't plan on pushing Cyno this far, but I really ended up completely breaking him here. I am really sorry, my poor baby boy 😭

I am so happy you like how the whole thing wrapped up! I thought about the ending a lot before I got to that point. Cyno really deserves to start feeling better. He's definitely got several days of recovery ahead of him, I doubt he's going to feel a 100% for a while. But the worst is over and he can (hopefully) enjoy what is left of their holiday. I wanted to leave it very open ended, but if I think about what will happen next, I definitely imagine Tighnari won't get nearly as sick as Cyno did; like you said he's been bundling up and looking after himself better than Cyno, but I also imagine he'd treat it differently from the start. If he knew Cyno was going to get as sick as he did, he probably would've handled it differently, so I think he'll treat himself differently from the get go. And yes, still sick, but Cyno would 100% want to do everything for him 😭 Baby don't go overworking yourself too quickly, please.

You have absolutely no idea how much this last segment means to be, I've probably reread it three or four times now and I simply cannot stop smiling. Starting this blog was one of the best decisions I made, even if I was terrified to do it initially. I've had a lot of second thoughts about whether or not it's worth it to put this much time into being a sickfic writer, especially with how niche the topics I enjoy writing are. But trust me when I say every single moment of it has been worth it.

Not only is this the most fun I've had with writing in actual years, but getting to gush about these characters with you guys and being a part of this tiny community, it's immensely special. I want to continue being a part of this for many years to come.

Thank you so, so much again for this lovely message, you absolutely made my day with this. I want to gush more, but I'm also just going to repeat myself, so I will hush now. But seriously, thank you so much.

And thank you to each and every person who read and support my works! You are all awesome!
