#it's the December air

[seethesunny]

You know earlier I said I wasn't gonna be a sap in the author's note bc why would I do that right lol imagine being vulnerable!! But I'm feeling down tonight (unrelated) and I have so many thoughts about it.

Like I've mentioned, it had been years since I was fully inmersed in writing (mind you this isn't even my first language) and I thought it would be fun to pick it up again, so I had a bunch of stuff sitting in my drafts that were for me only, random bits and wips.

But this year I decided to have the courage to actually share it with an audience, and to this day hitting the post button still terrifies me lmao, and in all honesty? I never imagined or intended to get what I have now.

Technically this all started with that eah thingy I made with a mutual in mind (best rapple shipper here) and since then I went back into tessjoel bc I'm nothing but predictable 🙏🏼 and sometimes this is still an internal battle with me, because my writing will always be personal and it will be painful, but I don't want to stop sharing my art even though I'm left vulnerable and there for anyone to pick me apart 🧍🏽‍♀️

This year has given me a safe space to explore and expand myself as a writer and for that I'm grateful, I don't think anyone can imagine how it makes me feel knowing someone could even care about it haha but you all have a special place in my heart and I cherish you, and if we part ways that will stay with me!!!

Almost 200K words posted and this all started (officially to me) in my birthday, as I was sick and sad, when I wrote something silly, self-indulgent and with the idea that no one would even notice it. I was wrong, so totally wrong. Now it's my most well received fic, and it almost wasn't posted.

Life is weird and in another reality this never happened but it did and it brought me so many amazing people in my life!!! And the great comments only made me want to keep improving day by day. Hopefully I can create even more in 2024.

Quackity: Lately, I have been participating in events and projects, and unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community. [...] In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I��ve done.

Here's Quackity's commentary on respect and his reasoning for distancing himself and his projects from future events and awards shows.

Quackity: Before I leave, I would like to talk about something that is very serious for me and something that I would like to tell you about. Because for me it is a very serious topic and it is a topic that- well, I had my mind on and I want to express it- [reading Chat] yes, thank you. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Anyways, lately I have been participating in events and projects, and in these events and projects, unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community, and this is what I want to say: I'm NOT ok with these types of dynamics or stuff like this, and I want to make it very clear to my stream, my community, and everyone that, for this exact reason that I just mentioned, I want to make it clear that I want to distance myself and any of my projects from the Esland Awards, which you all know is coming up.

Sadly, the Esland Awards have been an event with a history of much controversy, a lot of division, and a lot of divisions within the community, and as you guys know, as you know, my content has never been characterized by seeking controversy or divisions or anything like that. It's for this exact reason that I don't want to be involved with these awards.

In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. I don't want it to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I've done. That's what I want to make very clear here.

That's about it. I'm going to continue with the projects I'm doing and I want to thank my community so much for the support and love. I appreciate it very much, but I wanted to make this clear - I wanted to make this clear. This is just a topic I wanted to address quickly.

Thank you for all the love and support, I love you all so much.

15.12.23, friday

was on campus way too early, but got today’s top priority done. So now I’m gonna treat myself to a chill couple hours before doing the other top priority things (bc that’s me trying to prioritize my tasks; everything is priority #1 and I live in a constant state of chaos)

Flying the friendly skies

Americans used to try to mail their kids via parcel post, but later generations would drop them off at the airport. How many of us -- around the world -- got sent somewhere without an adult along?

since i was younger or well, since i’ve been 14, i’ve been falling asleep to an air conditioner for five years. its odd i guess but it comforts me.

it bothers my mom and brother because it makes my room an ice box and if i leave the door open, it makes the house cold as well.

i always ask myself if this is normal of me. normal to keep it on, normal to be freezing cold for hours despite already being freezing cold.

where i am, fall and winter get cold real quick. or at least it does usually. that depends on that stupid groundhog though (luv u punxsutawney phil).

i fall asleep to the noise of the air conditioner. the fan, i guess. it’s comforting, it makes me feel safe. its my “white noise” or “whale noise” you could say.

i don’t know why i’m like this. and it like physically pains me to keep it off when trying to sleep. during the day i’m fine, i can turn it off but when i sleep, IT HAS TO BE ON. i can’t not have it on. its anxiety inducing to not have it on and try to sleep. i sound pathetic 😭

this isnt meant to be depressing or anything lol just me voicing a five year long thought and compulsion.

that’d be cool if someone could relate! when i search this stuff up, no one usually has the same experience i do lol 💀

December Drabble Marathon

I want to do a Clegan December Drabble Marathon. I'll try to write one themed drabble every day for 31 days (not necessarily exactly 100 words, just short stories) — if my electricity and work schedule cooperate. I'll specify the type of AU for each drabble to help readers understand the plot, as the stories will vary widely — from realistic post-war AUs to modern teen AUs, family AUs, and whatever else inspires me along the way.

December is my favorite month of the year, and I want to honor it — plus, I miss John and Gale and crave something December-themed about them.

“It’s your birthday. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday. Now a confession is that today is also my sister’s birthday. I happen to be missing it because I am here with you fine people. Now I wonder if you could please help me sing happy birthday to my sister who is all the way home in London? If we sing loud enough I think maybe, she might, maybe, probably not, but might hear it! And that'll get me off the hook for another year.”
