#als they wrote this whole thing on their phone is that not the most fuct up thing you've ever heard?

sincereposting on main: I'M EXTREMELY PROUD OF @yiiiiiiiikes25 who just finished writing a whole-ass novel??

it has given me such immense joy to watch my best friend of 20 years (lol. lmao even) put their whole heart and attendant decades of therapy into this salty, vivacious, freakishly minute, and above all else, deeply felt work. (or should i say: this terse, acid, nonstop-homoerotic binge will hurt your feelings!!)

they worked really hard, and even if it sucked, i'd be proud of this accomplishment, and the persistence, openness to feedback in the form of thinly-veiled threats of violence, and stamina it took to see this project through. BUT it, notably, does not suck! it's like, good and has a plot and character development and feelings and stuff, as attested by a rabid following of dozens,,,

i'm [emotions] that everyone else gets a GLIMPSE of the force that T is in the world. for real, the dialogue in cruising altitude is how they sound every day and it's FUCT UP! beyond The Text itself, the gift of being trusted with a passenger seat alongside @flightspathfic for the creation of this thing -- waking up to a flood of texts and doc comments almost every morning, being endlessly surprised and delighted by the new jokes snuck in since the previous draft, the hand-to-hand combat in the comments, the call to arms for menu development, the 3D renderings for the ENTIRE barns because they are a F R E A K of nature -- has formed the backdrop to my year and emotional landscape, ever since @flightspathfic took a fateful early-morning uber ride to the airport in january. <-i would have given T a hard time for this run-on sentence, and that is why they are the author and not me.

hats and 5" inseam shorts off to you, my guy, you absolute maniac; you left it all on the court and i'm shrimply in awe at what you've created.
