Happy New Year, Kitty! I just wanted to pop in and express my utmost gratitude for having you as a writing partner and a friend. This past year has been full of riveting and delightful slice of life plots. Along with so many inspiring chats and enthusiastic research deep dives. You are so much fun to talk to. Regardless of what blog you are on, your creativity brightens up the dash. I never get tired of reading your headcanons and little research facts. Your writing style is succinct but beautifully executed. You have a lovely way of building a scene and subtly expressing a characters thoughts and emotions through actions. Which is what writers aspire to do. I am forever entranced by the creative flare of your various verses. I can see how much thought you put into them and, as a fellow researcher, the influence of history and literature upon your projects is evident- and only makes them even more engaging. My curiosity is always piqued when you turn out something new. Also how can I forget that you & @debelltio introduced me to one of my new favorite rare pairs, duchineer. I'm being completely honest when I say I keep my eyes peeled for their threads, edits and other content because I am a huge fan! I also wanted to thank you for indulging my research rambles and for being so patient with me during my on-and-off plotting, My busy schedule does not oblige but you always do and I appreciate you so much for that. Here's to another year! I am so honored to be your mutual!

i'm finally answering this after hoarding it like a little porg! oh, ame, thank you so so much. i definitely absolutely value your friendship just as much, and you know how much i enjoy writing with you. i love that you see my enthusiasm of research come through as much in my writing as when talking about it. it brings me so much joy to discuss all the nuances and the fun little details we've noticed! i can't wait to write what we've come up with!

and hehehe, yes, orson and satine are something else entirely and i adore writing them so much. and shhh, i've told you before and i'll tell you again, you're such a joy i'd happily wait months to get a reply to something in plotting. eventually, i'll hopefully be just as busy so i absolutely get it.

thank you so much too for being my mutual! you're the best!
