Lyra, you and your new Children of the Future story have got me practically swooning over Grey and Gauche right now! Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day and am not sure what to do with myself, but dang... when he asks her, "Is it okay if I...kiss you?" I just ashshshdhhs!! Sorry the best I can do to collect my thoughts right now is just a keyboard smash. Maybe if I came back to it later, I would have something more intelligent to say, but I needed to tell you that that was SO FREAKING CUTE! I just...soft Gauche?! I was so blind to the possibilities! He's so gentle, so attentive, so considerate of her feelings--and maybe the littlest bit insecure but he assures her that he does care about her and wants to be with her regardless of all the extenuating circumstances (and I actually believe him). This is good stuff! (Seriously, I'm pretty sure this story just hit everything on my self-indulgent shipping bingo card).

Also, don't even get me started about how Grey was the one who confessed first! My girl! Look at her! I'm so proud! What a big and important moment for her--really shows how much she has grown, and I'm so incredibly glad she got to have that.

You truly are the Queen of Fluff and are winning me over on this ship, I swear... I didn't know I needed it!

P.S. Finral and Vanessa showing up in those ridiculous costumes at the (fake) food stall like Team Rocket to save Gauche and Grey's date was just the icing on the cake! I loved it!! Please keep up the great work, and thank you so much for sharing!! Cheers! <3

Aaaaahh Acacia thank you so much 😭💕! I’m sorry it took a bit to answer this I wanted to sit down and answer it properly 🥰!

Agwjwjwhwh I’m so glad you enjoyed that part 😭, I don’t know if Gauche would actually ask for permission before he kissed Grey but I just love the idea that he would so I’m glad you liked it too 🥺!

Yesss I love the idea of Gauche being soft and more gentle with Grey like he is with Marie 😭, we don’t see that side to him very often so I like exploring it with Grey and with others, it’s just so much fun 🥰. I’m so glad you liked it and that hit everything on your self indulgent bingo card 😁!

Abwjkwjw I love having Grey confess first (I think I’ve had her confess first in every fic I’ve done 🤔), and this time I was going to have Gauche do it first but changed my mind which is why the confession suddenly turns into Grey being the one to do it 😅. It does! I honestly think that if Grey were to get into a relationship with Gauche that it would maybe help her come out of her shell a bit and make her more “outgoing”, or at least I hope it would, but she’d still be pretty shy and timid at times and Gauche would help her with that a bit 😁.

Agwjjwwujhwwjwjwmwnkw thank you 🙈🥺💕! I don’t know if I’d call myself the Queen of fluff since I’m sure there are a lot of others who do fluff just as well or better then me, but thank you so much for the compliment Acacia 🥺😭💕💕💕!

Agwjwjwj I was originally going to have all the BBs go and help to make Grey and Gauche’s date perfect but decided to just make it Vanessa and Finral and I enjoyed writing that so much and I’m really glad you enjoyed it too 🤣!

You’re very welcome and thank you for commenting 🥺🫂💕💕!!

Birthday Reflections

On the 37th anniversary of my trip around the sun, I wanted to say that I'm humbled and thankful to have made it another year - there's been times in my life I wasn't so sure I'd get to be this old, and I view aging as a privilege that not everyone gets.

My life has been touched by loss and grief and yet in a way, it's the non permeance of things, that nothing lasts forever, that makes what I do have, when I have it, that much more precious to me. May I never take my blessings for granted! May I never not seize the day while I still have it!

As for anyone who'd like to extend me love today, or send good energy out into the world for me, thank you! I embrace it and send it right back 🫂❤️

And finally, as an almost forty something crone lol, let me share things I've learned, and celebrated, in the last year (both in life and in fandom spaces) as part of my birthday reflections 😊

Physician, heal thyself. I started a sabbatical after a rough ten months and downsized commitments as much as possible - down from 120+ hrs a month, to 40ish! Since August! It's been phenomenallll. The sad truth was, most of the things I signed up were years ago when my family's health (and my own,) was in different place. My family needs me at home more. And everyone has been wonderfully understanding of the circumstances

Don't be afraid to be weird. Of course always be receptive to open dialogue and feedback if your actions are encroaching on someone's boundaries - but if people find me cringe? Okay, and? I'm herp derping my way across fandoms and platforms and being random, that's it. Stop trying to get everyone to like you by dimming your own shine, because let's be honest: you don't like everyone and that's okay, too. Not everyone is meant for us, detach with love and wish them well. (This one isn't necessarily new for me, but I'd say it's strengthened over the last year)

I celebrated reaching one million words on AO3 - which is wild!!

I participated in my first zine, and then helped organize one, too!!

I participated in FTH for the first time (next month is my second piece), and I'm doing the TOG BB again with no less than four entries (three arts and one fic). First piece is already up!

I've done close to 80 pieces of art which is also wild! A cute collage set of my pieces done this year will be arriving next month!

I made me perpetual vows for my lay order after four and a half years of study! This one is probably the one that makes me smile the most - my religious name within the order is St. Mary Magdalene. I chose her for her perseverance being rewarded by becoming the Apostle to the Apostles ❤️

Though I'm still as ace as cake lol, and happily married, after multiple conversations and introspection I've further embraced that I'm a "hearts not parts" person as well

Speaking of which, my hubby and I celebrated another anniversary and next month we'll have been together 18 years!! Very grateful for him 💗

As I've continued to heal from childhood/teenage trauma, I feel ready to share more of my truth in my art to express as a form of release. Always with tags and boundaries so everyone can make an informed decision to their level of exposure therapy on such heavy topics, but yes, I'm stepping into a deeper phase of my healing and putting in the emotional labor to reconcile myself back into one whole, lovable being. Because I was always lovable to begin with. And so are you ❤️

And if you've made it this far, extra hugs for you! Thank you for those who have embraced me, been part of my journey, and whether we've grown apart or grown closer, I'm grateful for the opportunities to expand my own consciousness with the people I come across.

I truly believe that to love someone is to see the face of God, an opportunity to venerate and honor the inherent dignity of every person - sometimes of course boundaries have to be put in place because not everyone shares my intentions, but reflecting back I can at least say I tried lol. May the year ahead be filled with love and blessings and may yours as well!

THE 1.3K CELEBRATION!

Wow!!! Less than a month since I hit 1.2k and we're already up 100 followers! So, I have to say all this again. I'm literally so so so grateful for all my followers and ESPECIALLY the ones who send asks and reblog my posts and interact, you guys are the best 💕💕. I literally never thought I would get to this many followers on a dumb blog I made just to share my little stories about hockey. But here we are.

This time around, I'm gonna have a whole week scheduled out, with each night a different theme. You can send asks about each night in advance but I'll answer them on the specific night!

C E L L Y N I G H T S (AUGUST 03--10)

💤 sleepover night (08/03): let's just chat about some stuff, fashion, makeup, our crushes, our jobs, school, even hockey if you want to! We can also do little also games like FMK (fuck, marry, kiss, but you can chose the three options), make me chose between two players, stuff like that!!

🤔 headcanon night (08/04): send me hcs you have about players! I'll add commentary to them or even give my own at times, but you run the show! Fluffy, smutty, or just general! Anything you want!

😍 appreciation night (08/05): tell me about your favorite players! Doesn't matter if I know them or not! I wanna spread some appreciation!

🥰 appreciation night pt. 2!!! (08/06): send asks about your favorite blogs and write them a cute lil message and I'll tag them! Let's share some love!

🫂comfort night (08/07): send me a line from this list and I'll write a comfort blurb for you. You can also specify a specific topic the blurb can relate to. Dont send anything too triggering, just some light angst that has someone comforting you, but I'll tag all these with TW to be safe

“I promise, no one will ever hurt you again.”

"Do you wanna talk about it?”

“You’re not going to lose me. Ever.”

"I know it hurts, baby."

"Listen to my heart, okay?"

"You want me to tell you a story?"

"We'll get through this one."

"Is it too bright in here?"

+ might add more on that night!

👀 sneak peak night (08/08): I'll post an updated list of all my wips and you can ask me about any of them, including long passages from each!

✨ moodboard/header night (08/09): send me a player and a theme and color scheme if you'd like and I'll make you a cute mood board or header image (for your blog or a fic! You can also tell me if you'd like it the normal squares format or something funkier

🥵 smut night (08/10): send me one of the blurb prompts from this list and I'll write a lil steamy thing!!! You can give as little or as much detail as you want in the request!

"Babe, it's the middle of the night."

"We shouldn't, not here!"

"Louder."

"I'll guide you."

"Just focus on me."

"Don't test me."

"You look good enough to eat. In fact..."

"You're not wearing anything under that, are you?"

+ might add more on that night!

Once again, thank you all so much for hanging in there with me and actually sticking along for this mess. I saved these celly nights until after my very last day of work so I can focus solely on finishing asks on those days! I'll post more in depth "rules" on each night. Feel free to start sending things, but make sure to label your asks with the enoji or date for whatever night you're sending it in for, just for my sanity, thank you!!!!

🌸🌷🌺🌹🌻⚘I LOVE YOU ALL⚘🌻🌹🌺🌷🌸
