WAUGHHHH OH MY GOD?!?!?! 😭💖

First of all, hi pencil, nice to meet you! 🫂❤️ and happy new years and happy holidays to you as well! 🥹🫶

Second, OOOOOH YOU MADE THE PRETTIEST ART OF THEM EVER!!!! Thank you so, so very much!!! 😭🥹😭🥹😭💖💗💖💗💖 I'm sooo obsessed with how soft they look in your pretty art style, both from their expressions and even down to the way their hairs + traditional clothes sway with the wind! 🥹🥹🥹👍👍👍 and the fact that matoba is the one taking the first step here, giving a piece from their teenage youth as his offering, and natori is so absorbed with matoba and his gentle smile instead........ please know that I'll cherish this wonderful artwork, I simply can't stop zooming in at every little detail you've etched here! 🥹💗👍 this is the best way to start my year actually, I am so winning in life, so thank you for this bringing this surge of energy and positivity with your horrible exorcist art! I hope this year will give you double the happiness that you just gave me and that it'll last waaay until the end of the year! 🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖🫂🫂🫂💗💗💗

My conclusion after reading most of the eng hexorcists fics on ao3: their writers sure knows grief like it's the back of their own hands

[defeateddetectives]

ye olde year end fic review meme: 2k24 edition

(3 weeks late shhh no it isn't) once again the only thing i do with any regularity based on ao3 & ficblog metrics more or less

Total number of completed stories: 7 (+ a whole entire update to tlwkh but hey who's counting!!!)

Total word count: a little over 9k [obligatory dbz it's OVER NINE THOUSAND meme]

Fandoms written in: k, natsume yuujinchou. it was a glorious year of fests!!!

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? more than expected actually considering i was getting brutally murdered nonstop :)

What’s your own favorite story of the year? toss up between sigils and close ain't close enough bc they were both self-indulgent Delights in the process

Did you take any writing risks this year? if by risks you mean i had multiple instances of fuck it we ball then hell yeah

Do you have any fanfic or ofic goals for the New Year? Even More fuck it we ball energy!

My best story of this year: idk what the objective measure is but, going by word economy, i'm mad proud of sweet on you being like 300 words of jam-packed relentless YEARNING!!!

My most popular story of this year: sigils by the infallible science that is ao3 kudos; close ain't close enough by the infallible science of tumblr notes [tattooing intricate rituals on your situationship of many years vs. doomed kings in a club: fight fight fight!!!]

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: it's cool IT'S FINE i've made peace with everyone sleeping on my beloved bespoke mikoto/izumo content that i write for myself and like one other person anyway!

Most fun story to write: the faves as above

Story with the single sexiest moment: still maintain that sigils is hilariously maybe one of the sexiest things i've written for the hexorcists (maybe even moreso than literal surreal dream bondage from ages ago) that contains no actual sex welp :D

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: push me out to sea was like a brief fever dream of being possessed by natori pov which is still not as natural to me but may have coincided with the early 2k24 descent into natorigirlism (of which we still do not speak!!!!)

Hardest story to write: from dust to the beyond mayhaps because i still feel uneasy and lowkey unsatisfied about it in a way i cant describe but eh its out there now

Biggest Disappointment: another year going by where i didnt finish/post [redacted] and also [redacted] but anywayyy wips and i are archenemies more often than not and i just have to accept this

Biggest Surprise: that i wrote push me out to sea in under 30 mins amidst a horrible migraine! and, of course, half's GORGEOUS collab art for when the light sits on you just right 🥰🥰🥰 still SWOONING ABOUT IT!!!
