#THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! GOSH IM DYING????? GOSH!!!!!!!!!

[sessakag]

I'm so conflicted 😭In Secrets of the Hidden Leaf, you rendition of Sakura is tugging me in so many different ways! Like her situation is really sad with whats going on with her and Sasuke, but the way she's handling it is sooooo bad! And omg poor Lee! She makes me so mad sometimes but I still feel for her because not all of this is her fault! She's self destructing and doesn't realize it and its just so terrible and sad. This whole situation is MESSY! but a good messy lol. I don't know how I want this to end. Part of me wants it all to blow up in her face and the other part wants it to never see the light of day! Gosh like I can't imagine this secret being revealed! The consequences would just be...omg!

Please update soon, every single one of your stories are amazing, but Secrets has my soul! Every time you post a chapter you snatch my wig and im not even wearing one.

signed,

-a reader slowly dying without your amazing stories being updated 😭

Lol, okay, first off, I do apologize for snatching ya wig that you aren't even wearing. I don't know what kinda Houdini shit that is but, uh, yeah, my bad 😂

I'm happy to hear you're conflicted, that's the way I tried to write her, an emotional tug of war. A woman in a bad situation that isn't entirely her fault but isn't always handling it in the best of ways.

Overall with Secrets, I wanted to do more gray area things, rather than the black and white; good or bad, one-way thinking that I see so much in writing/life. It's sterile to me.

Good people can make bad decisions, bad people can do good things, kind/innocent people can have naughty side, a loving couple can make room for one more. you can love your country and still hold it accountable, unconventional relationships are not always a character flaw or indication of trauma; not everything will fit into a mold or follow 'societal norms', nor should it.

That's boring and unrealistic to me. People should be able to mix and match their life in a way that makes them happy, fulfilled and is amicable to all parties involved.

Anyway, back to the topic, lol.

Sakura.

She's uh, going through somethings, and a lot of people are upset with her but its also nice to see people can acknowledge that a lot of it is due to poor coping skills (lowkey just like her husband, lol). I hope to keep developing her in a way that makes her to gray to categorize as good or bad. I'm still working on it though :D

Far is updates go, once Monster has been updated, you should be on the lookout for either my OG stories updated or a one-shot from the NH fair being fleshed out. I'm taking my time though, so it might be another week or so.

Thanks for reading!

Yes! Yes! I completely get you. You can fight me, but you just won't be getting me out of my joggers on some days! Hoodie is a must especially for those times you just do not feel like washing your hair. Ugh, they must never know. Though both my boys are generally nonjudgmental, well, for ME. Anyone else likely will be judged harshly by at least one of them, but they don't even notice really if I'm being a layabout a bit. They're just happy I'm there. Not to say they don't care, too much lay abouting and they start fretting, but you know what I mean. It's SO fun! I had no idea! It just seemed silly before, but now that I can keep up a bit? The most romantic thing! Makes me dizzy! I can't believe I slept on it for so long! Especially the waltz! Be still my heart! Ehehehehee! Eee! You must! You simply must show me your dress! You have such a particular style! It's to die for. All my clothes really are very 1800's. My Mr. Hatter is also particular and I go out of my way to match him. Oh, Don't worry! Jonathan won't step foot near a club. He could watch the little ones if push comes to shove! His little sister would love to make friends I'm sure and he just loves children. Big kid himself nearly. AH! How kind! How delightful! You're absolutely the mostly lovely person! So sweet of you! We'll just have to have a tea party when you get here and really get to chat!

I was about to send this ask, asking if you're perhaps ready to see another sam fic from me for the first time after literal MONTHS, but then I saw you updated Allu and I don't think I've squealed this loud ever. I'm so EXCITED FOR YOUR STORY, GOD, OKAY, IM GOING TO READ IT, ILL BE BACK

I got the tag!!! And you know I am always dying for a ‘seen’ update, but I didn’t want to keep bugging you about it because I know how much stress update expectations can put you in! But yay! New Sam fic. I can’t wait for the current bullshit drama in real life to get over so I can peacefully read the new fic. So few of us write Sam to begin with and you do it sooooo well. That is a cause for celebration in itself!

And oh gosh, thank you so much for the ALLU reblog. I know I’ve said this before, but you literally look into my head and say all the things I wanna hear. I did try to be different in my approach for the reader’s and Sam’s reactions to Max falling ill. I mean Sam IS hella concerned about his kid and he feels terrible about being away, but it’s still nothing compared to the reader’s absolute upheaval. I think her epiphany was long coming. So was Sam’s. The question is whether realising those things will be enough to drive them to follow their instincts ;)

As for your question in the tags, I’m miserable that the series is coming to an end but I know I don’t want to drag it just for the heck of it. Each chapter needs to serve a purpose and I think every storyline, every parallel that I intended comes a full circle perfectly by chapter 45. I am still very VERY sad.

BUT I might have an outline for another Sam!AU. I shall one day like to sell that to you ;)
