#anon you're so right we should talk about it. everyday everytime

[nai-z4ro-0ne]

Can we talk about how dan heng canonically eats a lot and march teases him?

YESYESYES. I think about that sooo often actually.

Tbh I like to think that M.arch is both an enabler and a teaser to him. M.arch seems like the type to buy food just because it's good looking and she's a lover of cute things. Like, often from themed restaurants I'm thinking, but also just about everything that looks good enough to get a good picture out of it. And of course, she doesn't eat it all. Sometimes M.arch doesn't even touches the food, and she does it without guilt, because she knows, and she says it out loud, that D.an H.eng will have no problem with eating it, even if he already had his own meal. And D.an H.eng, even if he feels the urge to defend himself, knows that he'd very much like to have those extra portions, having that big dragon appetite. He doesn't apreciate a lot what his friend has to say as he eats. "Wow, you really can eat a lot!" "If you're still hungry after that I can get you some more, don't worry!" That last one is very much with teasing intent, but it isn't a lie. Sometimes, D.an H.eng is indeed still hungry even after having the portion of both of them. And though she does it with a side of giggles and lighthearted poking, M.arch makes sure that he has his fill.

So, full disclosure

chapter 16 of the path from you has been hanging over my head for months and i think most of you have guessed why... for those who haven't or who are curious to know more about why it's taking so long, i've decided to be pretty open and candid below the cut. there aren't any outright spoilers but more just an explanation about the process i've been going back and forth on since.... february ?? (ffs)

this isn't directly in response to that anon from last night but they did make a valid point that i have been promising an update and failing to deliver so, if you're wondering why, keep reading

i very much realize that this is my hobby, and i do it for fun, and i don't owe anyone an explanation but i still feel like i can give one anyway. most of you have probably guessed that the next 3-4 chapters of the path from you are harry and ginny reaching their boiling points and finally having it out (in more ways than one)

my problem has been that i have a very specific order of events in my head about how it should all unfold but everytime i sit down to write, harry and ginny jump ahead three chapters and start ruining all my plans. i think they, and i, are ready for some conversations to start happening, however, if they break one wall, then they all come crashing down and to be honest, i'm a little bit attached to what i've already written in 17-18-19 to truly be able to blow it all up again.

now, with that being said, i also think i've gotten to the point where i know it's time for some reconciliation. unfortunately, my ego/pride/self-confidence is getting in the way a little bit because, in my opinion, a well-executed emotional payoff separates a good writer from a great one, and in the spirit of full honesty, i want to be great.

this version of harry and ginny, and all of you who have stuck with me for this long, have earned a damn good moment and i really *really* want it to be the best possible unfolding of events it can be. full of heart and vulnerability and passion.

the people that i talk to almost everyday about this fic (@narukoibito, @fairsquare16, @corneliaavenue-ao3, @herblazinglook, @ginwhisky, @brightlybound, & @valfromcall) can tell you that i have been laboring and struggling and agonizing over this chapter for months. this is not something i take lightly and this fic means a whole lot to me in a lot of really personal ways, so i have been taking a massive amount of time getting us to where we are because i want to get it right. i want harry and ginny's reasons for ending up where they are to feel honest and i want their resolution to feel cathartic. and maybe this is where i'm crippling myself, by trying to make it perfect, but dammit HARRY AND GINNY DESERVE PERFECT

thank you to everyone who reached out last night and over the past few weeks with love and encouragement and support. you guys mean more to me than you will ever know. any good vibes you can throw my way while i write tonight would be much appreciated. chapter 16 is close. i had a revelation a couple nights ago about why i kept getting stuck so hopefully this newfound direction will finally get us to the finish line.

i guess i'll end by saying this, if ever you are curious about what i'm working on or what's coming up next or why an update is taking so long, just ask. i am an open book. i swear i'm not intentionally holding out on you. and if i promise an update and come back a few days later saying its not ready yet, please remember that i am trying to put out the best possible version of my stories and i am just as disappointed as you are that i'm not updating.

as always, thanks for reading and for allowing me the space to create this version of h/g's love story.

Man not to spread hate or disrespect you but the best constructive criticism that you need to hear is that you should complete what you started and if you aren't able to atleast say it

Because it's been months and I'm a writer myself and for sure it does not take that long to write one last chapter of a fic

Like it's okay we do understand you have your problems but then atleast don't keep giving people hopes everytime when they ask for it yk?

I just hope you don't take it as hate , I'm just letting you know as a reader's point of view that it makes us readers very frustrated because we have been patient and still would be but you need to own up as a writer yourself

"but then atleast don't keep giving people hopes everytime they ask for it yk?"

: if you're talking about R1, then i'm sure i've answered an anon ask previously about that right?

it's not hate, i understand. you've been far more polite than those anons i've received that day but please do remember that writing a fic or an episode is never easy. although, i have to give my piece of my mind for these specific sentences you've said.

"you should complete what you started and if you aren't able to then atleast say it."

: since you're a writer yourself, you should've known that it differs from every each writer but in my case; some can update fast and some can and in my case it's a no. if you read the posts that i've edited on my pinned, if you've stayed quite long enough to have read R1 then you've certainly should have known what type of a writer i am, the rules i've written, and what is the purpose of this blog. i would've said it from the start if i was not able to, but i didn't bc i was working on it every single day and there are times that i am not in the mood for a specific wip, so i'm editing another one. i appreciate your interests and patience and all of you for the love you gave me for my stories, but in the end it was never meant to satisfy readers or catch up w/ deadlines. it was meant to be a practice blog. i've made it clear from the start that i am a slow updater.

and I'm sure i said before that i only asked constructive criticism about my writing and grammar, not how or when i update a story.

"it's been months — and for sure it does not take that long to write one last chapter of a fic."

: even if it take me years, you still don't have the right to tell me i should update that story. if it doesn't take that long for you, then great! but it doesn't for me, i told you I'm a perfectionist in my craft and it takes me a hundred edits to polish it, and for me writing isn't simply something to rush; it is my passion, it's something i picked up when i was having this hollow void in myself, r1 is the series that i first wrote to keep myself alive every day.

yet writing is mentally exhausting yk? i love it with all my heart, but that doesn't make it any less tiring. editing an entire fic with these grammars, character development, pacing, checking which mf scene is important or not, etc. — is extremely exhausting.

"but you need to own up as a writer yourself."

: this is a practice blog, i repeat. and i am not even getting paid or asking for any donation since i am not fitted enough yet to ask for one. please do not tell other writers in tumblr like this, this kind of message only do nothing but demotivate them.

"like it's okay we do understand you have your problems."

: problems. i wonder what kind of 'problems' you are referring to. if we're going to only talk about problems as a writer then sure, you have no idea how i am struggling so hard with impostor syndrome, and losing the love for writing for the past few months. but despite that, i didn't stop! i keep writing everyday even when i hate it! it may not mean anything to you, but for me i was dying inside but i never give up! okay, if we're going to talk about problems outside of a writers life, then sure.

i am not only a writer for your information; i am a student, i am someone's daughter, i have schedules and deadlines to catch up to, i am a person outside of this online world, i have dreams i am trying so hard to reach and achieve. you telling me "to own up as a writer" have no fckng idea how i take writing lessons, reading and studying a thousand writing tips out there, improving a second language, reading books when i've barely read before! and yet, writing is not the only thing i do, how surprising. i'm a self taught artist which is nothing new, art school is fckng expensive so i gotta own up and teach myself how to draw and learn every single things there's to know. and hey, i'm a computer science major and even tho i hate maths to my core, but bc i have a dream to become a game developer; i still do it.

balancing all of these should be easy right? when there's only 24 hours in a day.

"i'm just letting you know as a reader's point of view that it makes us readers very frustrated because we have been patient and still would be."

: there was never a day that i didn't think about my readers, or how they have waited for so long. that's why i put in that daily increments, the daily effort. but have you ever stop to think about writers' point of view too, since you're a writer yourself? or how you might have failed to think that a writer can feel frustrated just like you do. or have you ever stop to think that i need rest too or have you ever think that there was a day i wanted to die so bad bc i feel so lost and empty but i still keep up w my daily routine, trying to stay alive. but i couldn't tell anyone bc my feelings don't matter and i might be just exaggerating, and that i will always think that everyone had it worser than me, so i just opened my pc and write all my feelings out in a fictional world i've created while having those little doses of joy.

and it's all going to repeat again and again.

i'm a human too, you know.

thank you though, i was actually going to post r1 this november since i alrd posted a new fic today but you really ruin it for me. bc some of y'all, even with this spectrum from being rude to being polite. you still don't understand a writer, after all.

Can I request like a scenario where Shinichiros in highschool and it’s like when he first starts dating y/n and he’s like completely lovesick like he stares at her with hearts in his eyes all class and stuff like that Yk?

note : sure you can anon! i apologize in advance if he's too ooc and if this is vv shitty 😬���� also anon i can only do headcanon for now because I'm shitty at scenarios or drabble 😔😀

warnings : uhmm idk probably swearing?

character : sano shinichiro (slight mention of takeomi, wakasa n benkei)

lovesick high school shinichiro !

ha! this man, he is literally obsessed in love with you even before you become his girlfriend and it stays like that even now, okay here's the thing. it's not a phase thingy, cause he never grows out of it.

will wake up early to go to your house just to see you waking up with your sleepy cute face

"pst, y/n I'm so sorry to wake you up, but we have school remember? we can't afford to get late.."

"h-huh? shin...? how long have you been here?" you ask him as tilt your head while yawning

but hmm? why he isn't responding???

let's see what's in his mind shall we?

'FUCK FUCK FUCKAFSKSGSHSHDGS WHY UGDHD WHY IS SHE SO CUTE?? WHO ALLOWED HER TO BE THIS ADORABLE, I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE YANNO MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LET HER KEEP SLEEPING AND SKIP SCHOOL, AAAAA WHERE'S MY PHONE I WANNA TAKE PICTURE THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR MY HEART, IF SHE DOES THIS EVERYTIME SHE WAKES UP I WOULD JUST KIDNAP HER JUST TO WAKE UP TO THIS-#(£!£?£!#!# AHHHH I WANT TO HUG HER SO BADLY :(('

"shin? shin? hello??" you waved your hand in front of his face and then you decided to cup his face in your hand

when he snaps of out it, his face is turning into different shades of red !!! why?? well obviously cause your cute ass face is right in front his while pouting-#(£?£?

shinichiro.exe error!!

uhmm, you may or may have not broken him in the early morning

you go to school with him using his bike and everytime before you get on his bike he will put on the helmet for you <33 but he will also nag at you that you should hold him tightly and get on carefully !1!1!

when you arrived at school, he'll cover your legs with his jacket and bring you down himself ˶O_o˶ of course he did that, because he ain't letting those horn dogs stares at his beloved legs-#?#? besides he is the only one who can do that ! 🙄🙄🙄

yes, you guessed it. both of you are in the same classroom yey!! but unfortunately shin and your seat is wayyy too far from each other, your seat is in the middle of the class while his is in the wayyy back of the class sitting with wakasa, takeomi and benkei.

i feel sorry for wakasa though because usually he is the victim who shin will rants about how beautiful, cute, lovely, adorable, perfect, pretty, kind, endearing and how much he love and adores you. he did it everyday, so wakasa's ear can never get a rest :(

since you guys sit farr away from each other, he will use that advantage to stares at you with loving eyes~ he'll observe you every single moment, gush about how beautiful you look while writing notes, how cute when you scrunch your nose if you having a hard time understanding, and how focused you look paying attention to the teacher

so you're probably wondering, didn't he learn/study/pay attention to the class?? the answer is yes!! he didn't. the reason? well let me quote what he said "y/n is here so why should i focus on other things that isn't important??!? 🤔"

and his book is full of doodling with your and his name beside each other surrounded by cute little love <33

when the bell rings for lunch break he'll immediately rush to your desk and will offer you to hold your bento box !

holding hands while heading to rooftop cause that's where you guys usually eat ^^

hmm while eating, if he sees you talking to wakasa he'll definitely be on guard and will playfully say

"oi, this is my girlfriend not yours go search for your own will ya? this is one is mine and only and no one can take her away" and will hug and kiss your cheeks while saying that omlshsh I'm embarrassed-

will sometimes feed you, and if you're kinda bit messy eater he'll have a napkin all the time so he can wipe your mouth, finger and your messes from eating !

so he's lovesick right?? i just had a feeling that he WILL baby talk/cooing to you while wiping your messes •˶-˶•

"aww, don't worry baby it's okay to make a mess sometimes hmm? lemme just take care of you. you don't need to do anything. i love taking care of you okay my love"

okay now you're the one who's malfunctioning 😔🙏

fast foward to bringing you home, he will hug you and give you kithes and will cup your face and will gush about you and will prolong your stay outside the house because he loves you sm he ain't ready to let you go ಠ ೧ ಠ

will nag at you about don't forget to brush your teeth before sleeping, sleep early, take care of yourself, to eat and etc or he will ehem he will baby you in front of other people

let me tell you, you better do what he says or you're going to ended up feeling embarrassed for GENERATIONS !!

every.single.night.he.will.have.his.y/n.brainrot.moment 😲

i ain't kidding, this motherfucker will open his gallery that's full with your pictures and will stare at it nonstop fanboying about every single shit that's bout you

will definitely say "goodnight my love" right before he sleep 😳

bonus : you find out that he likes you cause, there's this one time you forgot about your things in class and coincidentally shinichiro and wakasa is in ze class at that time. wakasa do notice your presence though, he was about to tell shin who didn't notice you but! shin decided to do his daily gush/rant about you to wakasa. he literally shakes wakasa's body while doing that, poor waka :( it goes a bit like this

"....y/n is so fucking cute i might die-#?£?# did you see how cute she is when she's offering the teacher to help him?? i mean-#?£!£ god why can't she be mine, i just wanna keep her in my pocket forever BECAUSE SHE IS THAT PRECIOUS!!! ughdhdsb i wanna be her boyfriend so badly, WAKASA LISTEN! I LOVE Y/N SO MUCH THAT YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, SHE IS LITERALLY AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEA-"

uhh yeah, his word is cut off because you accidentally dropped sumn... so yeah he noticed you.. he avoids you for 3 goddamn days before you catch him and confess to him that you like him too! he may or may not cried from happiness when you confessed 👉👈
