#people are nice

Hi, hello. I just read your fic with Dick being the reader's partner as detectives and then the reader figuring out he's Nightwing, and I just want to scream about it in the best way.

A long, long time ago (back when I was 10 and under), I had the biggest crush on Dick Grayson, but also I just admired who he was. (And Starfire, but that is not the point.) I mean, my twin and I would play out any of the scenes from the few comics we had, and it was the only time I was fine with being a guy (since I was taller, she made me be the guy whenever we played), because it meant getting to be Nightwing. That crush has definitely waned over the years, especially since Marvel took over with their movies.

I want to say that around February of this year, I got back into DC. I'd always liked it, don't get me wrong. But if my interests were in a car, DC comics were forced to sit in the trunk. Anyway. I got super into Jason Todd, followed a bunch of writers on here who wrote for him. And then one of them reblogged your fic (it was Sunnie).

And suddenly, on this Monday evening, I'm back to being nine or ten. I'm reading what few comics I had, and I'm writing stories in my head, and I have a fluttery feeling in my stomach whenever I think about Nightwing. You reignited something in me, something I didn't know I missed. I practically absorbed your fic two times and then had to take a third time to read it because I just needed to.

Because it wasn't just me reading this, it was younger me reading too. It was the version of me who didn't know what fanfiction was, who didn't know anyone besides her sister or father who read DC comics. You made me come to life again, you let me steal some happiness that was so abundant in my childhood. I'm forever grateful for what you've done.

Anyway. That fic is killing me, I love it. Dick Grayson with his peep popcorn (what an atrocity, but I know he would eat that), with his sunshine smile that could probably melt a chilling gaze, with his dislike for stakeouts. He's there, he's just how I remembered him, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you. I know this is so long and rambly, and I apologize for that. But thank you for writing this.

Well, I am legitimately misting up over here. thank you so much, this was so incredibly sweet and a lovely notification to wake up to. Healing (or nourishing) the inner child is one of the best parts of writing so the fact that I could do that for someone? it makes me very happy. everyone say thank you to @interwebseriesfan24 because this ask has given me so much writing motivation that I am fully intending to go add at least 1500 words to chapter two. You're all getting it a week earlier then planned and you have this ask to thank. Fata Morgana (knight Jason x Princess reader) lovers worry not, you will still be getting an update this week. Please, never apologize for sending asks like this, because they make me so incredibly happy. I am legit trying not to cry. interaction and conversation is my main source of motivation to write and this is brilliant. You've made my entire day. If not my week. Also, a little head canon I couldn't organically fit in, is that part of how he developed a taste for Peeps popcorn is because 1) it feels like the kind of snack he may have had as a small child growing up in a circus 2) between Robin and being a highly energetic child and school, he needed a source of energy. Tim has energy drinks / coffee, Bruce 'microsleeps' and in my opinion, Dick consumes an ungodly amount of sugar. thank you for reading.

peaches. peaches PLEASE. i just read the entirety of The Ocean in one go so fucking fast and had to take a furiously joyful lap around my apartment. You have a way of describing physical sensations (in The Wolves, the sensation of "cold prickling between the friction" really took me somewhere specific) that puts a person directly into the story so solidly, so unmistakably, it truly shocks me to the core. The way you build stories, drip-feeding in the unease as if through an IV, flashed with images that are so universal and recognizable, it makes for such good story telling. You could sell back to me the body I live in and I'd pay a fool's price for it. I noticed that in a couple of the tags you've spoken about trying to "shake the rust" or "just vibes" and I would impress upon you that when you lean into what you consider vibes/ruminating, wonderful things happen, regardless of how finessed or "complete" they are. I'm in a lifetime fixation really into orcas/marine wildlife as well and apart from the specific mentions of these aspects, was completely swept away by the character study you offered. Like, the thing that initially made me read this story took a back seat because I was so enthralled by the weaving of the story. All this to say you're a fucking legend and you should trust yourself, listen to your "vibes" (because, reading through the rest of your works, they're immaculate) and lean into your fascinations.

This was so lovely. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out and share it with me. I really, really enjoy writing The Ocean and hope to get the next parts that I’ve been dabbling in up soon. I’ve been trying to build the lore and ambiance of it all without digging too deep too fast so I’m really thrilled to hear it seems to be working. I really enjoy the little anthologies that let me kind of just… do whatever and lean into the “vibes”, so thank you again. You’re very kind 🩵

[limeysims]

are any of your sims available for download anywhere? i love them so much

This means so much to hear, thank you <3 I have only 2 Sims up for download currently. You can find them here. When it comes to the sims I use in gameplay they have so much CC / exaggerated features that I'm not very confident about sharing them. I keep meaning to make some vanilla sims. Also if you have a certain favorite, I can always see what I can do to maybe simplify them. I'm just behind in my projects in general but I will make more of an effort for you, special anon! 🧡🎃

[dathomirdumpsterfire]

back to report!....it wasn't too bad!

Just got back from my first ever job and phew!! NO ONE told me anyone's names nor did anyone care what my (dead)name is, it's all about that coin there [it's so chill there]! I'm only part time, so i wasn't there for all that long, but it's still something! Most of the customer base is old folks that are most likely retired or sumfin, and they're not MEAN old people! One woman, around her 30s called me an angel and i got all happy :]

[limabeans-babies-forthewin]

Just got outta my local theatre.

Did you know you can accomplish a lot by just asking nicely? Cause i'm still learning a lot to get over my anxiety.

Anyway, guess who just got a Boy Kills World movie poster for free!? My week? Made.

[ekbelsher]

I love your beauty and the beast drawings! Is there a place where we can read your story about them?

Ahh thanks so much! I haven't tried to publish the book yet because my day job has pretty much taken over my life, and I'm struggling to keep my head above water. But if I'm honest, it's also because I haven't yet decided if I should query it, or if it's a project better-suited to self-publishing (which is daunting prospect, because I'd have to handle all aspects of the process!). Neither option seems easy, so for now it's on hold until the storm passes 😅

[bee-sidebranch]

EEEEEPPP your art made my crummy day!! <3

You've got a fantastic style!

[mitamicah]

Random cool thing:

Sitting in a place eating when I hear a deep philosophical discussion at the table next to me.

It's in English; which in my small town isn't the *most* common thing to hear; which kinda makes me take notice.

I thought for sure they were discussing homework or something, as there's a college nearby, until I spoke to them

No. What seemed like a meeting of the minds, was in fact, a meeting of the minds.

I don't know the absolute best way to put this into words, but I *Love* that we can be in a place where some gents can just sit relax together and have a philosophical chat and that's just normal and cool.

And when a random outgoing trans girl comes up to say she enjoyed hearing their chat, they're cool about that too.

Cheers, gents. Best of luck and I hope you keep enjoying each other's company

I’ve been binging a bunch of your drarry podfics while working on some home improvement projects and it’s been just the perfect entertainment! You’re a great reader and you have such a pleasant voice!! Just wanted to drop a line to say I appreciate you!!!!

GAH! Thank you so much! I grew up so self-conscious about my voice that it's really extra lovely to get compliments like this. And I'm glad I was able to keep you company while you worked on your projects!

[caspens-world-of-awesomeness]
