here’s your christmas card! 🥰

lulu, oh my god 🥺🥺🥺 this is genuinely the sweetest, loveliest, most heartwarming thing ever? 😭💓 i can't even begin to tell you how happy receiving this beautiful little christmas card made me 🥺❤️ first of all, this whole concept of sending people little christmas cards is so very 'you' - so kind and thoughtful and generous and sweet!! and the fact that they're handwritten in your lovely handwriting makes it even more personal and wonderful ✨️ such a lovely idea!

i am so incredibly grateful to have gotten to know you this year too, and our conversations (*essay exchanges) genuinely have come to mean more to me than i can say. it's been such a joy flailing over and lovingly dissecting our favourite boys' brains and their relationship together, and i'm so excited to do it some (*a lot) more in the new year 🥰 and obviously, i cannot forget to mention your absolutely masterful writing. your incredible stories and unbelievable talent have awed and inspired me so, so much these past few months, and have brought me so much joy and comfort to boot (understatement of the century, but you know how i feel 💗)

you're an absolute gem of a person, loveliest lulu. thank you for existing and making the world and this little space a better place, and thank you again for this incredibly sweet card 💘 wishing you the warmest, cosiest, most wonderful christmas with your loved ones, and a 2024 in which all your wildest dreams come true! you deserve it more than anyone 🎄🌟🫶🏼💕

Okay firstly sorry for being unhinged and replying back like straight away loll

Secondly yes to everything you said 😌 (and omg pls dont apologise for your essay pls keep writing them hehe 😁)

And also just the desperation and fear in his voice when he calls out for Sol, he's so scared he's gonna lose her again 😭😭😭 like wheeeeww his performance was top notch man. Like you said he's confused and overwhelmed but just the way he calls out for Sol in that desperate voice like it's instinct ohhh *insert someone sedate me gif* I never want to get over this drama ever 🥹

Oh oh that scene after where they're cuddling on the couch is ssoooooo darnnn cutteeeee the way they're hugging it's just all tooo cutteee 🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Kim Hye Yoon was phenomenal too, I loved every single bit of her performance. Her silly antics, the anguish and pain at losing her legs, and later at losing Sun jae, ohhh my heaarrttt it's been ages since a drama was this gooooodd I think last time I was this besotted was Strong Girl Do Bong Soon. Like park hyung sik was a loser too but he was kind of cool loser you know 😂😅 oh also Shooting Stars, loved that one as well. But man, did lovely runner do a number on me 🫡🫡

oh no please don’t apologise!!’ i know what it’s like to be excited about something it’s fine 😌 sorry that i’m replying a bit late!!

the fear of losing her just as he starts to remember her!!! nearly getting hit by the car, by our very own taxi man — even tho he doesn’t know sunjae in this timeline fate still tried to intervene but!! he was saved!! and now he’s desperate to get to her in case fate repeats itself and just as soon as they’re about to be together it takes everything away

plus. he doesn’t want to waste anymore time. he’s already wasted 34 years….😭

honestly the micro-expressions and just the eyes!! the eyes!!! so good 😭

the LR writers really said “ok youve had enough angst have some fluff” and then have us the fluffiest fluff to ever fluff 😭 they win at everything i love them sm

it’s the soft, quiet moments that make the best fluff- just then sat with their arms around each other cause that’s all they need- each other. aaAAH

the show wouldn’t have been as good as it was without both leads- kim hye yoon’s acting was phenomenal- switching between silly as heck to the most heartbreaking facial expressions you e ever seen- her eyes as she stares up at college student sunjae when he tells her she doesn’t have to run away from him anymore??? that it’s okay??? killed me. makes you understand why sunjae is willing to gamble him life away for her, fr

and like you said- sometimes i can’t believe the same actress did sol pre-time travel, ie sat in that hospital bed, and sol going to eclipse concert and sol accidentally shoving her fingers up sunjae’s nose. the raaange, honestly!

but yeah same! it’s been a longgggg time since i’ve obsessed and loved a show from start to finish this much! apart like the examples you’ve mentioned (loved sh**ting stars!) and strong girl with the best park hyung sik (i myself like to call him Elf Man), i always love and still carry in my heart Doom at your Service, crash landing on you, W (altho i haven’t watched that one in a hot minute), tail of the nine tailed and alchemy of souls (altho alchemy of souls is so different from everything else haha)

but yeah..lovely runner…,kinda feels like it’s in a league of its own tbh ♥️

This is between us but I have a lil tumblr n fic writer crush on you. I promise love will find you, it found me (plationically/familially) when I thought I was too damaged, too hurt, too ruined to heal. Like that one quote "worry not love will hit you like a comet" I've read your fics recently, i keep rereading them like every day. They mean a lot to me, the way they represent love and intimacy. It comforts, inspires, and teaches me. Like 'oh that's the love I want' I still have a longgggg way to go towards being comfortable in a relationships. I think ur vibe is ridiculously cute, and the way you write crushes ridiculously relatable. I keep thinking abt being ur friend, I've never seen Pacific rim but now I have an affection for it from you mentioning it in fics. This is how I admire you, this is a speck, a pebble, of how someone will love you someday. Even in arguments, in hard times, even when you cant believe it. Best of luck babe 💘 thinking of u

hello sweet anon 💕 I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I had typed up a reply, as I said, but then turned off my pc without posting it bc I am a clown

I just want to say that I read this when you first sent it and it really warmed and touched me. it's so lovely of you to have seen my tags and taken the time to reach out to me, gently and softly, to let me know that it's okay. and as your words have touched me, I'm glad that my words have touched you too - every time I hear my writing has moved someone in some way ('It comforts, inspires, and teaches me', oh!! my little heart!! 🤧🥺) it makes me so happy to be here. to be in a position where I can have created something that has that effect on people. also. calling my vibe ridiculously cute?? PLEASE 😭 you're honestly too sweet and too kind

I am very, very lucky in that I have friends that I love dearly and (against all odds) love me back 💕 and it's so often I catch myself feeling lonely, like, bone-deep and soul-achingly so, and then I feel bad. because I DO have love in my life, I know it and feel it and see it, so shouldn't that be enough? love is hard. I totally feel you on the thing about comfort, which is what I think is my main thing. it's not just that I need to prefer spending time with this yet-to-be-met 'someone' than being by myself, but also that I need to trust in myself enough to be comfortable with them. I can trust them and believe that they love me but not trust that I'm good enough to warrant that, that whatever it is they love is just some inaccurate facsimile they've concocted in their minds of who I am. I suppose it's rooted in self doubt.

but I digress!! all your words are so soothing and remind me that I'm silly to think that way. much like your lovely quote about 'worry not, love will hit you like a comet' (which I've not heard before now but will carry forwards with me), here's one for you - there are people you haven't met yet who will love you. and isn't that so lovely? to know that there's love in your future, just waiting for you, with people you don't even know?

also oh my gosh I reference pacific rim a lot don't I . it's such a good film HAHAH you should watch it if you get a chance 💖💖

please know that I'm thinking of you too. the kindness you put out into the world will be returned to you tenfold. I hope the weather is nice wherever you are (whatever 'nice' is for you - the sun warm on your skin, or the rain soothing outside while you lay curled up in bed) and that you have a wonderful weekend 💕
