preparing a letter to a very dear penpal of mine ✨

pls do not repost, edit or use

[a-shooting-jade]

anyone wanna be penpals? we don't even have to send each other letters physically. we can write them out and make them look all pretty and just send the photos of the letters.

I just wanna get into writing letters and reconnecting with the idea of taking time to really think about the person you're writing to, and having something tangible to show for it. I think that'd be pretty neat

I wrote a letter to a brand new pen pal today.

I was kindly gifted some of Annas art and y’all need to check Annas art out! 😤

my Gumroad page is looking very colorful and symmetrical and I wanted to immortalize it

as always, all my zines are pay what you want! The texture pack costs $1 minimum (long boring story) but you'll find it for free on my ko-fi :)

Letters from the year 9:16 Dragon

Magister Alexius,

We have been scoffed at by enough highborn mages in our own home country to know that sycophantic forms of address are a waste of ink, so we are just going to get to the point. If you discard our letter because there are no “Your Lordships” in between every three words, you probably were not worth contacting in the first place.

We are two apprentices of the Mortalitasi, working on a research project. In our studies, we came across several citations of a book of yours, On Novel Developments in Thaumaturgy, but were unable to obtain the full text. The subject, specifically the formulae in Chapter 4, is highly relevant to our work, and we would very much like to know if there is a way to find the unabridged version. Preferably one that does not involve traveling all the way to Tevinter and orchestrating a heist at the local library because Volkarin here is a coward we are technically not allowed to leave the Grand Necropolis without supervision.

Any helpful advice is much appreciated!

Best regards,

Emmrich Volkarin and Johanna Hezenkoss

P.S. Dear sir, please pardon any ink smudges; Johanna was highly insistent on including the opening paragraph, and my attempts at wrestling the quill from her proved unsuccessful. – Emmrich

Dear Emmrich and Johanna,

I trust you permit me to address you as such; and you, in turn, may address me as Gereon. In truth, I came into my magisterial seat quite recently, as it was ceded to me by my father. While I myself enjoy the privilege of being “highborn”, as you put it, I find it quite regrettable that the mage nobility of Nevarra harbors the same prejudices as my peers. I am of a firm belief that young minds should be nurtured with utmost care, regardless of the circumstances of one’s birth.

It is, therefore, my utmost pleasure to enclose the little volume after which you inquired, along with several other books from my personal library that explore an adjacent field of study and might prove of use to you. I was an apprentice less than a decade ago, so I understand the frustrations of scouring the library for the most fitting source to cite. There were days when a heist indeed seemed like the only solution!

If you wish to share any further details of your research, I would be delighted to hear from you again. Best of luck with your endeavors!

Sincerely,

Gereon Alexius

P.S. You, too, must forgive the ink smudges. I have a young son, and he gets rather fussy when he must be parted from me, thus I write with tiny hands constantly reaching for my inkwell. Consider the little handprint at the bottom an additional greeting.

[californiasnow]

okay but the main reason why I logged back into my account is that I really miss connecting to people?

I remember I used to talk to a lot of you and made some internet friends at the time and it was soo amazing and I was so happy

right now I’m in a stage in my life where I desperately need to connect back with people that have similar interests and experiences to me, I find it hard to relate to people my age in my hometown

basically what I’m saying is… does anyone want to be friends? we can chat, update each other on our lives, on all the drama, talk about deep stuff etc.

pls reach out if you want!!! or if you’re too shy you can just like this post and I’ll make the first move eheh

thank u byyyeee
