#it means more than you could ever know

[takeariskao3]

Congrats on 1000!! I’ve been following since the beginning (maybe chapter 3 or 4) and I’ve always thought TPFY has something a little extra. A special sauce. From your perspective, what do you think it is about it that resonates and keeps people like me coming back for third or even fourth re-reads?

gosh this is the nicest message!!!! thank you for hanging in there for the last two—TWO??—years ❤️😭

i honestly couldn’t tell you why the path from you took off like it did. i’d be open to hearing other peoples opinions lol. but i can tell you that when i set out to write it… my main goal was i wanted to make harry into a good partner, but specifically into a good partner for ginny. and i only felt like i could do that if i started out by showing all the ways he could realistically be a terrible one. then i really shot myself in the foot because he was so bad i had to throw seventeen chapters worth of chaos at him to make him into the bare minimum of what i felt like ginny needed.

we are headed there! so i hope it reads and ends with harry and ginny as real equals in a partnership instead of the chosen one and his girlfriend

that’s what i would say i put the most effort and time and energy into doing. into making harry and ginny into partners…

that and the sexual tension 😆

do what you want forever actually. just because more people have eyes on you doesn't make you less human. I think you should be kinder on yourself and remember that you aren't just here to make content: you're a complex individual with a lot of thoughts on things and you shouldn't be afraid to share them out of fear of backlash. and if you ever feel like "maybe I shouldn't say something?", take a step back, deep breath, and ask yourself why. Please take your time and remember that you are loved and appreciated, and that those are the people who should matter most to you. not meaningless hate from people who don't even totally understand what they're defending. now go have a spectacular day, I was possessed to write this

Thank you so much. That means a lot. 🥲

I'd like to think that I'm a generally happy person. I try my best at what I do and whatnot but I'm like everyone else in the way that I have bad days. I get burnt out or overwhelmed or overstimulated. I have days where I want to give up. Days where I question what the point of trying is. I have days where I question my own existence and days where I feel the void calling to me more than usual.

When I'm feeling bad or when the going gets tough, I try to remember to breathe and keep a level head. I usually find my mind wandering back to when I used to speedrun Celeste and I was barely figuring out my gender. I had good days and I had bad, back then... But thinking about a younger me on that mountain... Reminds me of just how far I've come.

A friend of mine who's egg cracked not so long ago said she wanted to go climb that mountain. I had her get CelesteNet so I could follow her around and give her encouragement but... It's given me a lot of time to think about the old me. A version of myself who no longer exists on that mountain just like my friend is now. I find myself reliving playing through Celeste for the first time wandering from room to room. I let all of the emotions of the past flow through me. I saw my growth from an outside perspective and understood my climb from a different point of view.

The videogame Celeste has done so much for me as a person (I'm sure the creator would be delighted to know). Celeste taught me patience and kindness and calm and self control. Celeste gave me the confidence to get back up again and again no matter what and keep trying no matter how hard it gets. Celeste taught me myself through introspection and I'm confident I would be a vastly different person without it. Watching someone else go through that journey which means so much to me, helping them keep going when it gets hard, is such a surreal feeling. I was once Madeline. Now I can be someone else's Theo or Granny. I love that mountain. No matter how far I roam and how much I do I don't think I could ever forget Celeste. Thank you.

Minthara says “in Her name” when you first meet her and she’s following the Absolute but when you recruit her and she expresses that she no longer follows any god, but she still has an intact paladin oath, and she says “in your name” occasionally because she’s no longer Lolth’s paladin or the Absolute’s paladin, she’s your paladin

wait. did one of the loops actually become a red giant? petition to call that one Loop-king (like looping. get it. hahah. ill see my self out.)

Haha yeah!! Loop-king, King of Loops, figurehead of the universe, constellation formed by the collapsing stars and wishes that bind them, that define them, a responsibility and love born of generations of dying stars and supernovas and stardust and new stars - or something like that!

A Loop, certainly. We're all Loop in these parts.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does Ford celebrate his birthday? I know its pretty hard to keep track of time when its ... nonlinear in the multiverse but I feel like Bill would know. And to ford every once and a while Bill demands his attention and he comes back to the pyramid to the wildest (worst) surprise party. The cake is human skin, candles are those really long wisdom teeth. Ford hates it.

i'll call out that a main plot point of chapter 4 is the fact bill gets ford presents on his b-day so yah its a regular thing, but they celebrate the day after his b-day

first birthday together bill probably does the skin cake thing but ford just rolls his eyes and sighs . bill almost fucking shoots himself after that response

Luffy not knowing about Zoro promising Sanji to kill him if he ever ends up losing himself makes me go feral because that's something they can only know about. Because Zoro's respect for life and death goes beyond anything, and Sanji knows he understands. Sanji knows that if somebody has to kill him, it's him.

And I don't even think it's because Sanji assumes Zoro's opinion of him is hatred and it would hurt less for him to do this, but because Sanji knows only Zoro would be able to treat the promise as it is. Because he would put Sanji's wishes before any feelings he has for him. It's not that Zoro doesn't care, but I think he respects people's ideals and decisions to the extent of being able to kill Sanji if he so desires.

That being said, he'd do it if there's no other way to fix it. If it's either dying or living as an emotionless machine, which is the same as dying for Sanji, Zoro would fulfill his promise. And there is just... Something about Luffy not knowing. Their captain. The man they're devoted to the most as if he were their God. Luffy doesn't know. It's something only the captain's wings are aware of and the thought of these two keeping this from Luffy until the end is just insane. Not even trying to make it romantic here, but the bond and respect these two have for each other is crazy.

Maybe it's the poetry of it all, too. Somebody like Zoro, who has looked at Death in her face multiple times and said "no", ending Sanji's life, who wants to give in to death to not experience a fate worse than death for him.

it’s that no one ever believed him that gets to me the most. this is a society of telepaths. and yet when the doctor finds out that the drums are real, he’s surprised. the master is surprised, elated, by the confirmation that he’s hearing something that’s really there, that this thing that’s been following him and hurting him for so long is real.

after a certain point, given that the master is Really Fucking Good at mind control and such, you have to imagine that no one could just pick up on the noise in his head with a little general telepathy. he had to choose to let the doctor in to share it. and. and okay. we need to put aside him striving to be The Best At Controlling People’s Minds in the context of him having his mind violated as a child because if i think about these two things in relation to each other i’ll throw up.

but there has to have been a point before he was so accomplished that he couldn’t have defended his own mind as easily. that he couldn’t keep someone, anyone, from delving into his head and hearing the drums. which means i must conclude, because we find out who put them in his head at all and it’s the most powerful guy on gallifrey, that when he was younger, the people around him did know. they could hear the drums. they could figure out what was done to him. but they did nothing, they said nothing, they told him he was hearing things. because if the lord president wanted to use a child for his own ends, who was going to stand up and stop him? easier to sweep it under the rug. and the master lived with that for so long that finally having just one other person hear the drums was a shock to him.

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

[ghostofsnails]

so did you guys know theres this character called tristan vik disventure camp and

[dreamingticklee]

getting in my feels a bit here but going out in public in crop tops and feeling good to do so is something that i never had the confidence to do until i made tickle friends and started having irl play sessions. like there's always been some internal insecurity about my tummy especially but being so vulnerable and having it exposed and them wanting to tickle and touch and kiss me there while praising and calling me cute and adorable and theirs and that they love doing so with me has boosted how i feel about my tummy a lot and it feels really really good 🥺

It feels extremely silly that only today did I realize that pantry and panadería are slightly similar-sounding for a reason >_>

(The English word pantry is one of the many, many common modern English words derived from Anglo-French: in this case, panetrie, from Old French paneterie, "bread room" ... Spanish panadería also has a complex etymology, but all are related to Latin panis, "bread.")
