#it’s 7am why am I being so sentimental about this fic lmao

[whoblewboobear]

The entire time I’ve been writing wiiimdy it kinda kept up with real irl time (which I didn’t intend at all, fully a side effect of writing this beast from the middle and building out in both directions.)

So when Jace’s fictional birthday passes, the chapter covers that will be posted in time with it. (Again unintentionally, I think I just write kinda slow lmao) Chapter 6 happens in the beginning of July, it went up in July. A while ago I asked what sign Jace would be and I forget who but someone said Leo suits him (it does it soooo does) so in wiiimdfy his birthday is end of August bc Jace doesn’t celebrate his birthday much typically but it corresponds with the school year starting so he likes to bring in cupcakes for his classes to celebrate with them instead. They watch movies the entire day and sometimes his upperclassmen bring him a gift.

During sophomore year they all pitched in and got him a purple stainless steel bottle and decorated it with stickers for him. It’s been his favorite ever since. He wasn’t shatter star’d yet, but when he was, using that water bottle grounded him a bit between all the chaos.

One time he saw Porter drink from it and he did almost kill him 💖 he never did it again but he did rmr that it’s Jace’s favorite.

I think the rest of wiiimdfy won’t correspond with real time after this bc of the timeline but from June-August it did and I think that’s fun. Idk maybe I’m extra sentimental about this fic bc it is the first fanfic I’ve written since I was 14 and it dragged me out of my creative rut (which is a credit to the ship more than it is the fic itself but ya know.)

Once it’s done it’ll be a little bitter sweet. Once chapter 7 is up, it’ll be the halfway point. It’ll go a lot faster too bc the second half is mostly written already. Fashion model au comes next and I’m mentally prepping for that by drooling over all the cute clothes Jace can wear and I do like that Jace and who he’ll be but wiiimdfy Jace? That’s my special little guy. And wiiimdfy Porter my pirate librarian man that gave me the chance to figure Porter’s character out more has been 💖 it’s mostly canon compliant so now there are fic truths that are now so synonymous with their characters in general to me and I just 🤧 bc we knew so little about them both before and now it’s like mhm mhm now they have history and lives. Like Jace’s sister is an original character but she’s so real to me and I adore her to pieces. Jace’s entire family means a lot to me actually. And Porter’s too 💖 they haven’t showed up in the story at all and idk if they will but Porter’s daughter and ex wife 💖💖💖 he loves them and he fucked up doing evil on the side but he’ll make it right bc he wants Jace to meet his daughter some day. And he will and Jace will love her like she’s his own and 🤧🤧🤧 it’ll take a sequel fic that is so self indulgent to even get to that point but it’s real in my stupid little heart.

This fic started simply as: Jace gets an emotional support dog. And now it’s something so- not far removed but MORE than that. Also his dog was almost named Vanilla (Extract) bc she’s the same color of it and I like baking. Milkshake was gonna be a place holder but it was also a lot less convoluted and very cute. It suits her 💖
