#it's rough out there!

[not-poignant]

I'm uncomfortable with leaving comments on your stories - even though I immensely enjoy them. Probably it's because I don't feel like I have much to say, just feels weird to write out my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it's also because I don't want to be perceived in any form or something like that.

But I do understand how rewarding it is to receive comments for authors and I want to be a better reader by leaving something.

Is an emoji acceptable as well (I've seen other people commenting a heart)? Does is matter to you at all? I think I know the answer but somehow I feel the need to ask to build myself up to get in the habit of supporting you more.

Hi anon,

Emojis are always an acceptable way to comment! And I reply with hearts of different colours because I enjoy doing that.

I think, as someone with social anxiety myself, I fully get that it's just hard to sometimes say something! If an emoji feels doable for you, even just a little heart (a lot of readers think of this as 'extra kudos' - so you can always think of it as the extra kudos heart if you want), then that would be so welcome. :)

I think just seeing the tangible presence of folks in the comments, even if it's an emoji presence, is still really meaningful to me. I even get to know who my regular 'emoji commenters' are and start to recognise their usernames. Every now and then, they might leave a sentence or two, and then go back to emojis, or they might only ever leave emojis, it's still really awesome on my end.

Also I fully get not wanting to be perceived or sharing your thoughts/comments where others can see them! If you leave a little heart or other emoji, I know those thoughts/comments are happening, and you don't have to share them with everyone either. :D So that's definitely an option, but don't pressure yourself to do it either, if that still makes you too anxious!

the mortifying ordeal of being known

--

I think with Yor being so perceptive, she picks up on little things often (like we saw in ch 103). i believe this would impact loid more so than the usual person, because he is a spy and fakes every part of himself, so to be seen is simultaneously desirable and horrifying. like, it makes him torn between wanting to accept and reciprocate the love, or distancing himself so that it doesn't happen again.

thats mostly what the last panel is about, that dichotomy between 'omg this person noticed this about me, is this love' and 'oh shit this person noticed this about me, is this Doom'

just some thoughts i had🤪

oh, look, you're finally awake. i was wondering how long you'd be out, 'cause i can't say i measured the dosage real exactly. sorry about that.

hey, do you know where we are? c'mon, open those pretty eyes of yours and look. uh-huh, exactly. we're just at the edge of this very pretty forest, and it looks a little dark in there, doesn't it? there's probably bears in it.

no no no, hey, don't cry yet. i haven't even told you what we're doing here. see, i wanna play a game, alright? it's like hide and seek. i'm gonna untie you in just a second and let you go in there, and then i'll come looking for you! doesn't that sound fun? and because i'm feeling nice, i'll even give you a five minute head start.

(ah ah- don't be rude. what do you say when someone does something nice for you? there we go, that's a good little lamb.)

now, in the interest of being open and truthful with each other: i'm going to find you. i mean, honey, you don't even know where we are. i've been in and out of this forest my whole life. it's really a non-starter. so when i find you, i'm going to spread those pretty legs open and fuck your tight little hole until you're just screaming and crying and god, it's going to feel good. for me, mostly. but who knows? maybe you're a little more sick in the head than i thought you were. wouldn't that be interesting?

let's get you out of this rope now, hm? ready? alright, poppet. run.
