#i’m so talented 🥹 i forget sometimes

[kimjunnoodle]

My friend has always supported me and every halloween he commissions a cosplay (months in advance) and like the first one i made his was before i had a sewing machine so it was all done by hand and some hot glue at the end lol. But this was the latest and i’m so proud of my improvement

[valentine-cafe]

Oh lovely! Happy anniversary you two! Dearest precious! 😭🌷 I meant to send this yesterday but something suddenly came up and I couldn’t finish writing, but here it is! I’m so so sorry, it seems like I’m always late for everything *cry* Thank you, thank you for your hard work all long! You’ve came so far and yet the road ahead of you is still extending long!

A whole year is a long time, for the youth and the elderly. It could be chaotic - lot could happen in a year! Ups and downs, almost as if you’re spinning on a ferris wheel.

The difference is - on a ferris wheel all you can do is just sit by, watch, and hope you’ll end up where you want to be again. Whilst when you’re in this wild ride of life, you have two options: to either give in or to fight and push through. Life really is complicated, isn’t it?

Even so, as complicated as it is, look at you two! Who has managed to keep this blog alive for 1 year all the while hitting 1000 followers. It’s incredible! Being consistent is hard already, let alone always motivated at the same time!

So please, I beg you to treat yourselves well, both physically and mentally. Give yourselves a pat on the back - better yet a hug, for everything they’ve done for you and for pushing through all the hardships, don’t be too harsh on them. 

As a part of the community you’ve built from the ground up, I want to thank both of you so, so sincerely for creating such a safe place where - not only I, but I believe everyone here - can go to after a long day.

Being here brings me comfort and joy. It’s bizarre how strangers from the internet could bring so much impact to a person. Every time I visit this blog, it’s almost as if all of my problems were washed away for an amount of time - as if I was in my own little world and nothing else mattered. 

I have never found such feelings of comfort from other people outside of my family. Yet, it never cease to impress me how both of you - people I’ve never met face to face in real life, managed to build a place that brings me so much joy and comfort.

Your talents mesmerizes me, your passion inspired me, and your dedication motivated me. I wish to be able to bring people joy like both of you do.

I hope you two are aware that whatever happens we, all of us, will always be here to support you! I trust that the road ahead of you is bright and filled with joy. You shall play your part, and so shall destiny. Hugs and kisses, don’t forget to take care of yourself.

—Lovingly, 💐

[goldenlaquer]

I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MAKE GOLDIE I really do and I especially love the headcanons you wrote for me and also the unfinished Okita short story!!!!! (Did you know that some of Michelangelo's sculptures are not finished but still exhibited in museums? This technique is called "Non finito" (literally"unfinished") and it's pretty popular!! Your Okita short story reminds me of these and I mean it in the sweetest way possible bcs I love it) !!

but!!

The one I love the most's gotta be "Sakamoto + praise"!!

Sometimes I feel insecure about myself and my body and a lot of things but when I remember about this scenario you wrote I swearr!! I feel really special by just remembering about it!! Let alone re-reading it!! Oh the things it makes me feel😭😭😭😭

Sorry this is pure chaos I was supposed to be sleeping rn hehe ily and I love what you do, keep being amazing and stay healthy ❤️❤️

Me, mentally preparing myself to read this and then putting it off because I knew my heart would burst right out of my chest and cross realms and alternate dimensions to smack darling Miiuu in her gorgeous, talented, lovely, even-in-the-next-life-my-soul-wouldn’t-forget-her face. And it did.

I can’t lie, the unfinished Sougo fic has always been a shadow at the back of my mind because I’m alway wondering how I can finish it up in a way that will satisfy me and my readers, and yet I still can’t seem to bring myself to do it, but here you are, helping me find the beauty and worth of it even in its “Non finito”, which is such a gift I didn’t anticipate treasuring, thank you so much Miiuu 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AND THAT TIDBIT ABOUT MY SAKAMOTO PIECE SOMEHOW HELPING YOU FIND TO SOME PEACE IN MOMENTS OF INSECURITY ‼️🥹‼️🥹‼️🥹‼️ THAT!!!!! THATS WHY I WROTE IT!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

And you know what?? I reblogged that post because I was feeling super insecure of myself and of my writing— you lifted me back UP, Miiiuu!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[apoptoses]

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender etc. I’m beside myself rn! It was everything I could’ve hoped for and more, GOD. I had to wait for literal hours till I was finally able to get home and read this but it was worth every excruciating second lmao the talent that you are 🤧  

Look, I’ll be completely honest. When I sent that prompt over at @priapus-at-the-gate I wanted nothing more than a good ol’ PWP inspired by a couple of sentences in Devil’s Minion that had been driving me insane for a while, but you gave us one of the most fascinating, layered, entertaining, HOT character studies ever. You’re so insane for this THEY’RE so insane!!!

I feel like sometimes, as a fandom, we tend to forget that one of the key factors in Armand and Daniel’s relationship, and probably one of the main reasons they were so attracted to each other, was their constant switching/willingness to take turns in being the submissive and dominant partner. Of course Armand was always the most powerful of the two but he genuinely loved to yield for Daniel, he’d never been as submissive as he was whenever he was catering to Daniel’s every whim. “Anything you want, Daniel”, and he meant it. Anne herself said so explicitly a few times, they were truly the OG vers kings. And this is such a fantastic take on that crucial aspect of their dynamic, on their endless curiosity and the need to get to know each other inside out, even through play acting! And how they just fit together like puzzle pieces even when they switch places.

Some of my favorite bits, in no particular order: Daniel being the embodiement of Gentleman Death throughout the whole thing, Louis come pat your boy in the back, he’s doing so well!!! Sweet and gentle, but strong and commanding. Of course Armand was losing his shit over it. How he went from pretending to not having to pretend, not really, he was every bit of a flustered 17 y/o, rendered speechless by some tall, handsome man. Him putting on Daniel’s glasses, playing around with the cigarrette, Daniel lighting it for him, the secondhand kiss, the actual biting in the bathroom!!! Daniel committed to the bit and it paid off 🥹 he’s the definition of “veni, vidi, vici” when it comes to all things Armand fr. 

Phew

✨perfection✨

I can’t thank you enough, this one will stay with me for a while xoxo DA ❤️

YAY I'm so glad you liked it!! I was stressed about it, I wasn't sure the whole idea telegraphed but I guess from the response it did!

But of course it couldn't be PWP, I can't do anything simple haha And I just kept thinking, how would that situation arise? Because sure, Daniel could just chew on his neck until Armand gets the picture, but I think a pretend interview is just so much more fun. Even though Armand didn't go on stage much he clearly loves acting for mortals when he and Daniel go out to make friends, so I just think he'd have fun with it.

But YES I think it's so easy to fall into the trap of Daniel being his willing victim all the time when really they both enjoy both roles! I was nervous to write that for a long time because it felt like fandom expected Daniel to be the one submitting. But I'm so so happy everyone is super into him being in charge there, I really wanna write more of it! I think he's so awesome taking the lead and it's so hot for Armand to get to let go and let himself be enjoyed. And you're right, Anne said it herself that Armand yielded to Daniel in so many ways! Really by trying to please him, he was the one submitting all along.

God I didn't even think of the Louis parallel but you're so right. Daniel takes Gentleman Death to a modern and hot place and I think that is a special thing for Armand. Of course he goes pliant for the two guys who are gentle lovers when they go for the kill.

I'm so happy you loved it!! It was a good prompt, it deserved a developed response ♥ And I'd do it again any time for you!

Hi! I meant to send this ask earlier but kept forgetting due to being busy irl, but I wanted to say that I appreciate all of your writing <3 I haven't sent in a request and I missed all of your events, but I think it's incredible that you keep your requests open even when you have so many, and you just seem like such a genuinely kind and thoughtful person, not to mention how talented you are! I don't think you get enough appreciation so I just wanted to send this in and say a big thank you for writing for all of us.

Omg hi beautiful sweet anon 🥹 tell me how this made my whole month already. Thanks for starting off my July on a high note 😫❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much !!! AHHHHHHH LEMME HUG YOU RN CMERE 🫂 🫂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I will definitely have more events in the future so I hope you stick around to experience them! I know all my requests may annoy some people 😭 but I just love having a place where people can drop their ideas down that will eventually be brought to life. I swear I e had so many writing ideas before that I didn’t want to write myself, but it’s hard finding a blog for a fandom that I want that has their requests actively open! That’s kinda my rationale behind why I keep my requests open even tho I see the number and it stresses me out sometimes. But I’m taking my time and I hope that even those who are still waiting for me to write their request, still enjoy reading the other things I post in the meantime!

But seriously, thank you so much for taking the time out of you day to send this to me. Literally screenshotting this and saving it forever; adding it to my anon/follower appreciation album in my photos 🥹🫂❤️

I hope both sides of your pillow are cool tonight 😌 thanks for being so sweet. I LOVE YOU

[writing-about-current-obsessions]

heyo! i hope you won’t mind me pasting this into other writer’s asks, and here’s why i’m doing it: i’ve had a lot on my plate recently, which makes it hard for me to have time to talk about the fics i read with their respective authors, and that is why i wanted to send all of you this ask.

this is me thanking you for all the time and effort you put into the stories you share here. i’ll usually save them up for when i’m done with the tasks for the day so i can relax and enjoy them properly. these fics are probably the best part of my day, and they will never fail to make it brighter and better. i’ve told some of you how much of a picky reader i am (although i am working on it), and your works have just about everything i’ve always enjoyed. the plot, the writing style (which is something i love paying attention to and see how much it differs from person to person), the roller coaster of feelings i go through while reading... the list could go on forever. i just hope you know how much i appreciate you guys, not just as writers, but as people as well. each one of you deserves the world of nice things, because this planet is a better place with you in it.

aside from being thankful for all of you, i also hope you guys are taking care of yourselves, or i’ll have to personally threaten you to do it.

lastly, please don’t ever forget that you are important, talented and that i’m reallt thankful for having you around.

with love,

lyra

This is the sweetest thing omg I did not expect to be crying today 🥹

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s difficult sometimes to write and post stuff because I always wonder if people actually want to read the shit I write or not, so getting just a simple comment of a few words (let alone a message like this), makes me motivated and puts a big smile on my face ☺️

[axigailxo]

I appreciate the hard work you did even after going through writers block. Let me tell you abi it was really really good chapter. And at last the scenes were like made me cry 🥹 and i hope I get more angst. Like not every writer has an ability to put feelings through writing but you do and you when write smut so so beautifully. Like it seems so exquisite. There are some moments where you deliver dialogues so perfectly that sometimes i feel I really forget i actually was reading a fic. Your TEACHERS PET isn't just a fic but a work of art. You aren't here to provide us some smut and dirty talks you put in . But you just made us realise several feelings that can go through at different moments. For example, i love the way you write Jungkook's dialogues as per his age. As per his age mentioned in this story he's very romantic, very classic. They don't seem as equal to oc. There's a standard in your writing that I never saw in anyone. Like people barely hold that talent and you made us stick to your work. Also that you are veryyyyyy beautiful my love. Like a real fairy 🤍🧚. We're here to wait for you to bombard us with your next chapter ANYTIME. DON'T you hurry babygirl. Take your time. Life's important and your sleep, just don't rush. We'll wait 😙 - Ani

ani… 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 this made me teary eyed omg i literally love u…

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM TO HEAR THAT, like it truly means so so much to me 😭❤️❤️❤️ to have someone enjoy your work is one thing but to have someone speak so highly of it is just so 💓💓💓💓 SO THANK U FOR BEING THAT SOMEONE

i’m glad ur able to notice those things like dialogue and etc, hearing that is like breath of fresh air bc whenever i post i of course am always doubtful at first or worried ppl might not like it (especially w this chapter as it’s the first chapter w drama) BUT YOUR WORDS RLY DID JUST COMFORT AND ASSURE ME SO MUCH U HAVE NO IDEA <3 T_T

also, A FAIRY?!?! baby… 🥹🥹🥹 THANK YOU!!! and also thank u sm for having patience w me, i’ll be sure to limit myself w overworking too much 🥹❤️ it’s beyond assuring to know i don’t have to rush 🥹💕thank u sm for your concern!! again, it rly does mean a lot to me

LOVE U LOTS BBY, ITS ALWAYS GOOD HEARING FROM YOU 💕💕💕

[kookieswan]

Your writing is so wonderful, I legit think it's amazing! It is amazing, end of story.

Low interaction is hard but I hope you also remember that your talent for writing is not based on how many people keyboard smash in the comments, because no matter how many people do whether it's 20 or 200 or 2000, your work is worth immensely more than that just because you wrote it and it means something special to you. I know you're amazing at writing and as a person, but sometimes you may forget it. So you should always come get me so I can hit those nasty thoughts out of your head and replace them with a kind one.

I'm sorry it's been hard lately darling. I really hope more people recognize your writing because while notes don't matter, I get that they kinda do because it gives us writers motivation and validation, I understand that. I'll always be here to validate any effort you put forth because I'm so freaking proud of you and I'm proud to be your friend wife 💕💕💕

Come here, you need a forehead kiss and a hug!

My sweet wife 🥹

It’s not necessarily the notes I suppose, I just wish more people shared their thoughts with me or left comments. I like to know what people think and when I don’t hear back I get nervous if that makes sense. I start to think that maybe what I wrote was just bad and that no one like it (I know that’s not true but that doesn’t stop my brain from saying otherwise). I know I can always rely on you though beautiful, and I’m so thankful to have you ❤️

I’ll gladly take both abs give them back baby ✨ Thank you for always making me feel better!
