hi, i just wanted to say that i like your art. my dumbass didn't make the connection that you were also chessb0r3d, even if you totally wrote it in your bio lmao. And i do like your content there also. anyways i like what you draw too and i don't really have a request but please accept this mini DirkJohn comic i've made, as a gift of this catastrophe titanic ship but also as a token of representation that they'd be absolute disasters together, and would probably self-explode. which is hilarious and endearing in a messed up way, considering their character.

have a good day :^)

i'm flattered thank you!!! and i think your art is great too!! i love your comics and doodles. thanks again for the comic yes that is so accurate. i love it very much! :3c

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. :)

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

is it your birthday? happy birthday! i hope this isn't weird or out of the line, since we're essentially strangers and i'm sending this about a fandom i'm not sure you're still in, but i wanted to thank you for writing your p5 fics, specifically "into the sea" and "as you like it". when i read your writings, they always feel like they have this raw honesty and sincerity that's integral to them, and all of the story beats always feel so anchored and grounded - your fics always feel equally realistic and comforting. most of all i really adore how you wrote goro in "into the sea" and how you went into details regarding his dynamic with others; it was such an in-depth and empathetic look into his character that i also felt understood in turn, even as just a reader. i apologize if my words don't make sense, i hope the point still gets across...

again i just want to thank you for being a great, sincere, empathetic writer, and for bringing your fics to life and sharing them with the world - i hope that you'll do well in all of your endeavors, and i hope that you have a nice birthday week!

hey man this isn't weird or out of line at all. sorry it took me a couple of days to reply to this message i had to gaze happily at it for like 48 hours first and send it to everyone i know. this means a lot to me.

im still into p5, just less active in fandom. none of those fics are officially... abandoned... as a matter of interest i had the next chapter of "into the sea" fully drafted but never posted it because i got hit with a bout of insecurity and just never wanted to move forward. but maybe one day i'll post it.

"as you like it" is lying dormant but was a passion project so dear to me for so long that i would be pretty miserable if i never got to at least share my thinking for the rest of it, even if i never finished it. this is a bit embarrassing to admit but the fact that it never got quite the level of enthusiastic reaction as "into the sea" (although still a great reaction that im very touched by) made me less motivated to keep churning the chapters out. (so thank you for telling me you liked it!)

i actually have about 70% of the next chapter drafted and only didn't finish it because there was another heavy battle sequence in it that i got tired of writing. but there are some parts of it that i'm honestly still really proud of. actually, here's part of it if you're interested. this is one of my favourite bits of writing i've ever done.

i'd be pretty sad if i never got to share this so hopefully i finish the chapter sometime. :]

(here's loki, and here's some dazzle camouflage.)

anyway thank you so much for your message. it's very kind of you and i appreciate it very much.
