#sunshine anon 💘

[riverswater]

heya rhei 💛💖💝 sending you some love in these pixels. life's gonna get lighter again, i promise. everything passes, like the rivers teach us. (also, i saw your post and you are not an idiot just because you think you are. we like to trust them, but our thoughts are not always true)

🥺💝 My darling, thank you so much. Receiving and reading this message was like getting a random wiff of fresh bread right outside a bakery or watching two leaves dance. Comforting and loving and it reminded me of how much love there's in this world, if someone as sweet as you took their time to write to me. Thank you ❣️ mwah 💘

[crowleyholmes]

hi there chris! since the new year is approaching rapidly, i wanted to ask my favorite creators (that includes you! i love your art!) how they look back on their 2023 tumblr year and which blogs made them happy to be here. i am very happy to follow you and hope you'll have a great 2024! 💘

Hiiii omg this is so sweet and means a lot to me, thank you! 🥺💕

I've been meaning to do a little end-of-the-year shoutout/love post for some of my favorite blogs, so I hope you don't mind if I use your ask as the perfect excuse!

I've had many fun years on tumblr, but this one has been extra special. Falling into the Good Omens fandom and meeting all of you amazing people has made this year so so SO much better than it otherwise would have been, so here are some special shoutouts (apologies, I'm sure this will get long, things like this tend to get away from me, so I'll put it under a read-more)

@majortomyourcurcuitsdead SASHA can you believe I was going to just send you an anon telling you that I think you're cool and leave it at that. Can you believe it. WELL thank Somebody you had your anon turned off and I had to expose myself in your dms because it feels like we just instantly connected about like 20 different things and haven't stopped talking since sskjdfhs anyway I'm so happy I met you you're so fun and so clever and so talented and so enthusiastic and I've only known you for like. What 2 months?? Ish? But I already love you so much <3

@lineffability !!! Line you are so *struggles to find words* you're just great is what you are okay. I feel like you are what happens when somebody takes a big cup and puts six shots of love, chaos, sunshine, talent, fun, and enthusiasm into it, generously sprinkles intelligence on top and gives it a good stir. I don't even remember how or when or why we started talking tbh? But your creativity is so inspiring, and some of my favorite tumblr-moments of this year have been 'yes-and'ing with you about one thing or another in a very >:3 manner hahah so! my point is! i love you lots <3

@dontbotheraziraphale Teeeedddd you're wonderful, I vented at you one time and then we talked for like 2 hours and at the end of that 1 conversation I already considered you a friend - and not just in that "tumblr mutuals who talk 1 time are my friends" kind of way but like. Genuinely. You're so kind and so fun and every time we talk it's such a good time ily a lot my bro my buddy my man <3

@crikey01 Tallulah HI I also completely forgot how we started talking but I remember connecting the dots that you were the one who painted those INSANE black and white and gold oil paintings and the way my jaw dropped like?? BRO you're so talented I admire you so much! And I love that we bonded over stopping each other from masochistically checking certain peoples' blogs... 😂 Anyway you're so sweet and fun and ily lots <3

---

The list could probably go on but you four are the people I've talked to most on here and you're the tumblr chat boxes I never close but always just minimize and y'all better see this as the ultimate internet declaration of affection that it Clearly is >:D 💕

---

And here are some more shout-outs because I just HAVE to.

Apologies, I know I've already tagged a bunch of you recently in a mutuals appreciation post but. This is my official thank-you-for-2023 post and I just have a lot of love for you all okay sorry feel free to ignore this <3

@rowan-ashtree (i'll text you back soon I promise I'm sorry I just haven't had the brain-space recently ssjkdfh) @crawley-fell (we've never talked but i love you from afar :')) @ineffabildaddy @llokilaufeyson @actual-changeling @saryasy @hyperfocusthusly @beccibarnes @rainbowcrowley @thesherrinfordfacility @goodoldfashionednightingale @wibbly-wobbly-blog @highlyillogicalandroid (i see your data obsession and i agree <3) @tortugay @foolishlovers @stargazing-crowley @gingiekittycat @weasleywrinkles @bildads-shoes @finleycannotdraw @bowtiepastabitch @heytherefluffy @samwwise @nocturnal-birb @athousandyearstime @angelsdiningattheritz @most-normal-eccles-cake-ignorer @jedthesecretdreamer @wraithee @hydrangeadangea @southfarthing @frodo-baggins @mobius-m-mobius

[jeonqkooks]

happy new year's eve!

just a quick lil post bc i’d just like to talk a bit about my 2023 on tumblr and what’s to come in 2024 and this isn't exactly a sunshine-and-rainbows post so i figured i'd say it while we're still in 2023. idk if anyone’s even bothering to read under the cut but if not then this is just for me lol

but yeahhh 2023 wasn’t exactly great in terms of the tumblr experience for me. i was in a creative slump for a while there and thought writing had completely slipped from me. got wack anons for the first time! people whom i thought were relatively cool turned out to be weirdos which was hella disappointing lol smh. the fandom experience took a turn for the worse - though i am still grateful that i had a solid year and a half that was really fun being a part of the fandom before things took a nosedive (🙄). overall, it was the accumulation of all these things and more that made being on jeonqkooks not as fun and comforting anymore, which has been quite sad bc you know how much i loved being here with you guys - you’re all my bubs 💞

don’t worry i’m not leaving lol. i’m not abandoning any wip. i’m still gonna be here; i’m just taking my time to find my groove with the blog and our lil community here again <3 when it comes to writing, i’ll probably be a bit more active elsewhere (cough @withleeknow cough) for the time being bc that’s where the inspo is coming from right now lol

also, i’m kinda hoping for bigger changes in 2024 in my personal life sooo there’s that !

yeah, that’s it i guess. i’m still in the obs server if people are still interested in joining

love you all very much 💘 happy new year's eve!

[sturnioloshacker]

I hope YOU have a wonderful week!! Filled with lots of love and good food and fun hehe! Sending you so many butterfly kisses and good vibes 🥹💞

[baladric]

💘💫🤍🪄 🦋 for the ask thing!

ehehe thank u anon!!!!

💘 Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

honestly kind of all of them? i am chronically dissatisfied with my end products—mostly because i look back at them and see nothing so much as pacing issues, and a propensity to attribute too much emotional intelligence to my pov characters. i'm not going to rewrite them, but if i had a perfect world and limitless time, i'd rework both Sweet Hope and a pearl in my hand. they're both so good, but they could be so much better :')

💫 What is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

i'm very partial to the comments that involve people quoting the bits that personally victimized them >:3c with a very loud shout-out to the wildly sincere and personal ones—i write because reading has helped me through every hard moment in my life, and hearing that i've given that gift to other people means the fucking world to me

🤍 What's one fic of yours you think people didn't "get"?

i think generally people pick up what i'm laying down, but one thing that irks me a little is a minor trend of people reading Sweet Hope and walking out with the "Maia Drazhar Is An UwU Cinnamon Roll" thing still lodged in their heads. as a person who's been categorized by many abusers/toxic loved ones as A Faultless Ray Of Sunshine, i can say that it's an awful, awful place to be, and unfortunately i take my job as Disillusioner Of Maia Drazhar's Fawn Image very personally whoops, which was kind of a central motivator for me in writing that story? like that's one of the core themes, right? maia's aunt attributes a faultless and innate Goodness™ to maia, and everyone gets Upsetti about that because they all recognize that maia chooses to be good, though he has every reason in the world to be callous and cruel—and that it's the deliberate choice of compassion and consideration that defines him, and not some like. idk built-in Sweetness Coding. he is not good or sweet—he chooses goodness and sweetness, and that distinction is very, very important to me, and to my interpretation of maia, because it allows for the complexity of human (elvish lmao) error. he doesn't always say the right thing, nor should he be expected to by those closest to him. he doesn't always make the correct choice, nor does anyone. so like. idk!! he's not A Cinnamon Roll!!! that is very reductive to me and rubs me very wrong!!!!!!!!

🪄 What is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you've finished a fic?

if it's a longer fic, there is a great deal of celebratory shouting and probably some excited dancing, followed by a jittery lap around the house before obsessively refreshing the fic page to watch the hits go up lmaooooo. for ficlets, i tend to say "NICE" very loudly, drop it and go do something else with a warm ember of satisfaction in my heart. usually there is a little drink involved in both of these.

🦋 What are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

oh boy uhh, everything kind of!! i worry a lot about my characterizations, bc i definitely have Opinions and i've come this far without getting my ass cancelled but i do worry about dumb stuff like oh no what if people don't like that i refuse to believe goblin emperor elves are all Literally paper-white and perfectly blonde or shit i shouldn't have leaned so hard into selectively mute link. and i do worry too about the self-indulgent Breakdown parts of my writing, eg the whole scene in Sweet Hope of maia breaking down at the opera or the big in pearl in my hand where link wigs the fuck out on sidon. those always feel too loud to me, somehow, like i've allowed myself and my characters too much license or awareness or Clarity or something? i usually refuse to reread those parts of stories tbh. like i'll do a cursory editing pass and then never ever touch those sections again bc i just get so embarrassed ;alkdfjwa;d

fic writer ask meme!!

List five things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last ten people who reblogged something from you. Spread the positivity!! 💘💘

From: @newpathwrites (anon because side blog problems🙂)

Thanks for the tag, @newpathwrites 😁🥰

💙 Five things that make me happy 💙

1. The kids. 💕 I got a bunch of nephews and nieces and one of my nephews is my ol’ faithful rewatch buddy of “The Mandalorian” 💚

2. Animals. 🐾😻 Don’t get me driving close to a nature reserve because for sure I will be distracted by any critter I see be it a birb or a random raccoon 🙈🦝. They’re stress relievers for me. 😻

3. Nature but specifically when I’m close to bodies of water like a river or lake. 🌊 Man, I should just move off the grid and become a hermit 🤣🐦‍⬛

4. But!!! If I do that, I have to bring my playlists. Music helps me cope, ground, and disassociate 😅🎶

5. The fandoms. 💚💙 Now I know it isn’t always sunshine and rainbows in here but for what it’s worth, it does bring me joy most of all, with the friends I meet in person and online who are a wonderful support group when I need ‘em. 🥰

Passing the game on to the ask boxes. ✨✨

[bylrndgm]

just so you are aware. your presence in this fandom brings the healing sunshine

ur so kind to literally everyone and it is honestly such a refreshing and beautiful trait and i aspire to live my life as generously as you do

oh my - 😭 you took me aback with this ask. anon let me squish you 🥺 who gave you the right to be this wholesome and crack my tough scorpio shell? 😤💖💘

i cannot thank you enough for sliding into my asks, take the time to write down these words and make my existence a better one. i am still flabbergasted and words cannot express my thoughts.

i'll always keep you in my thoughts, anon, and hope you'll always get what you ask for.

you’re like a ray of sunshine & i get so excited when i see you in my notifs 💘

thanks so sweet, thank you <3

confess something you've thought abt me on anon

[munsonsreputation]

hey you? yeah, you. i know life’s been running you down lately, and maybe you don’t see a way out of this just yet, but you will make it out on the other side. promise, pinky promise in fact. you’re stronger than you think, and a hell of a lot better than your mind is telling you right now. and, i know that this is all the same cliché bullshit you’ve heard before, but believe me this time at least, will you? think of the sunshine, think of the spring rain, think of the way the wind feels when you’re standing under the clouds, think of that warm mug of coffee or tea. there are so many tiny pings of happiness in each day, and it’d be a waste to not notice those, right? i love you, i’m proud of you, and you’re gonna be alright. - 🌿

WHO'S SWEET SOUL SENT ME THIS?!?!

IM CRYING THIS IS TOO SWEET...really, y'all i needed this sm. this is so sweet and delicate, im actually going to sob. i don't deserve you guys, i love you guys sm!!!! thank you anon...sending you a load of hugs and kisses 🧸💘💫

[keeper0fthestars]

have we considered,,,,, neck kisses with one din djarin,,,,,,, sir I would just like to take a moment—

my sweet sunshine 🥰😍 thank you for sending me this lovely thot ✨ Your love for one (1) touched-starved man was the reason this got carried away💕 ...sorry to my stack of other wips, sunshine sent me this soft!din idea and it consumed me bc that man has exactly one (1) weak spot and it just happens to be on his neck and if he lets you find it he’s a goner..

Din Djarin x gn!reader

1.6k words

Warnings: hurt/comfort, mild angst, as the ask suggests, this is all yEARNING and fluff

~~

The first time it happens, he’s sitting with you underneath the dappled leaves of an enormous tree with one arm curled around your shoulders.

It’s the middle of the afternoon and the kid is playing in the grass, climbing over your legs, tripping over his own feet in his pursuit of a fluttering insect.

The tranquil warmth seeping into his skin isn’t from the breeze tickling his face and ruffling the edges of his hair, it’s not from the sun sparkling off the lake in the distance.

It’s from you.

With you tucked into his side like this, nothing bad could ever happen. This is what it’s like to live in the safety of your arms, your fingers laced between his, your face nestled into his neck, your breath soft. your voice, even softer.

And your mouth. Stars, your mouth.

Who knew there were so many different ways for lips and teeth and tongue to catch on bare skin. He’s not even aware of the pathetic sound in his throat until he hears your delighted little laugh.

‘Careful with that mouth, or we’re gonna end up on Grogu’s blanket over there’

‘Yeah?’ you grin, ‘you feeling a little sleepy too?’

A broad hand digs into your waist as he rolls his weight into you, preventing you from wiggling away, playful retaliation smothering your happy carefree squeal.

‘Sleepy is not the word I’d use, no.’

He feels your warm hand curl around his bicep as you twist and sit up, looking down at him with those big soft eyes. His knuckles brush down your cheek, something he’s done a hundred times before. He’s sure of it.

He starts to wonder why there's a line of worry on your brow, why your voice sounds far away, echoing from every direction, why his vision’s gone fuzzy around the edges.

Grogu’s giggling fades into dull metallic beeping.

Then he blinks and when your face pulls back into focus, it’s through his t-visor, permeated by the blue glow of the cockpit. The sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds is sucked away into the low hum of hyperspace.

There is a beat of silence when he realizes your hand is still there, on his arm, the heat coursing through his arm. Another hot breath inside his helmet at the sight of your plush lip caught underneath your teeth, a smudge of blaster grease on your forehead.

In your eyes, he can almost see the brighter flecks of pigment, the ones that had glittered with mirth before he’d kissed you… when you’d smiled and-

“You’d sleep better in your bunk, y’know.”

His heart starts hammering despite the fact there’s no way you could know the things his subconscious had just conjured up.

There’s no way you could know how his eyes fill with stars every time you touch him, every time you’d push a dish of steaming food into his hands and urge him to eat, every time you’d patch up a wound.  Particularly, no more than a minute ago, when your fingers spread through his hair and you pulled him down to kiss you.

He swallows hard around the squeeze of his heart.

He tells you he’s fine, gruff static scraping from the vocoder, grateful you cannot see his scalding cheeks or the heart-shaped smudges left behind in perfect sharp relief on his neck, grateful you don’t know the empty ache lodged in his chest over a silly dream.

Because that’s all it would ever be. How can someone so soft, with so much light inside them, possibly love someone who's done such monstrous things.

He can’t seem to get enough air into his lungs.

//

The second time it happens, there is dust and dirt smeared into the gash down half your face. The welt on your other cheekbone is already purple, mirroring the precarious state of things. You’re breathing. That’s all that matters.

His cape is ripped off and draped across your limp shoulders and he’s folding you into his arms and off the ground.

He’s halfway to the ship, mind whirring, calculating how much bacta it would take to erase every last tremor of pain and where he’d be able to find enough of it when your eyes flicker. The pained gasp that follows makes his stomach twist. He tightens his hold on you, moving faster.

Lifting a shaky hand, you reach for his pauldron, fingers catching the edge with a strength he does not expect and relief fucking bleeds into his heart.

You’re shivering now. That’s good. That’s something.

Words come through chattering teeth. ‘They- they're all dead...’

‘Yes’ he rasps, soothing the terror now evident in the whites of your eyes.

‘You did good’ he reassures in a soft voice, despite the determined pace of his steps.

Safely on his bed, your eyes stay don’t waver from him as he desperately searches through the medkit beside you, cleaning and carefully bandaging, hoping the single hypodermic will reach the injuries he can’t see.

Seated beside you, the armor comes off. If he notices your fingers anchored in one of the belt loops at his waist the whole time, he doesn't reveal it. But his flight suit needs unzipping and for that he needs to stand.

When he gently extracts your fingers from their tightly curled spot, your panicked, ‘Stay with me,’ slices into his chest. In your scramble to cling his wrist, to anything, warm hands settle on either side of your face.

‘Hey’ he breathes, ‘I’m not going anywhere.’

Left in his thermal layers and helmet, he dims the overhead brightness of the bunk and slowly stretches out beside you.

In your delirium you curl into him, clutching his shirt, burying the uninjured side of your face into his shoulder and then closer, like you need him.

he curls his fingers around your knuckles, pressing them to his chest. It feels instinctive, easy, like it’s the most natural thing.

Where he is uneven and rigid, you are soft. Like he’s been specifically built and cut to fit into the shape of you.

Like you belong there.

In your drowsy state, your mouth grazes across fresh goosebumps, pressing blooms into exposed skin, drenching his veins in warmth.

He feels you inhale, eyelashes fluttering like silk against his neck. Tipping your nose up, your chest expands again and then slowly deflates, your body growing heavier as the analgesics take effect.

And that’s where you stay.

Your breathing slows to a steady rhythm as sleep takes hold of you and for some reason, his hands decide that now is a good time to start shaking.

The spots under his jaw still blaze where your mouth touched bare skin. Tendrils of heat that reach underneath his collar and kiss down the length of his spine, pulling at his limbs, making them heavy. Telling him to keep you here inside his arms for the rest of the night.

He does.

//

It’s dark the third time it happens.

so dark you can’t see where you end and he begins but you don’t need to because the trust between you glows brighter than any sun and you want to soak him in it, admire him the way he deserves, slowly, on purpose.

The countless times you’ve imagined how it might feel to hold him is nothing compared to being right here… just like this. Learning what snags his breath and tangles his words. Memorizing how he yields under slow fingertips, the high-strung sound he makes when your nose drags under the sharp line of his jaw and brushes the bottom of his ear…. it all feels so… familiar. Like you’ve been here a hundred times before.

But you know that’s not true. You would have remembered the clear intention in his touch when he’d sat facing you on his bed and cut the lights.

You would have remembered the overwhelming kick of your heartbeat when he lifted your hands and placed them on either side of his helmet, his palms over top, guiding you, helping you lift it off...

...shrinking your entire world down to the smooth sound of his voice, the way it engulfed you in the darkness, pulling you closer, so warm and deep.

The way your brain came to an absolute grinding halt when his mouth caught yours, leaving you giddy, unable to speak, both hands clinging to his one-sided smile.

You would have remembered the strong hands around your waist, taking your weight like nothing as he brought you down to the pillows with him; the soft scratch of his mustache and the long span of his neck, his shuddering sighs and soft little moans under his breath, the warm scent of his skin when you followed the skip of his pulse down to the hollow of his throat.

You would have remembered telling him how good he tastes, and the unsteady pitch of his voice filling the air.

‘Please… don’t stop,’ the admission barely makes it out of his mouth, stunted and dangerously weak.

‘I won’t,’ you promise.

Sliding your fingers through the curls behind his ear, you sink your mouth into the thick cords at the bottom of his neck, savoring a spot that causes a muscle down his back to buckle beneath your other hand.

That low rolling rasp from deep in his chest sends shivers down your spine, your heart soaring high as a kite.

You’d sell your soul to hear it again.

‘You’ve ruined me, I hope you know,’ he whispers hot and desperate into your skin.

The pulsing want in his voice and the heavy press of his knee between your legs should leave you too lightheaded to think straight. And it does. But you’ve also just reduced this ruthless wall of armor into a helpless mess with nothing but the wet glide of your tongue and you may never come down from that.

Softly pulling your mouth off his bottom lip, ‘how ruined are we talking… exactly.’

His throat works like mad beneath your lips where you are taking your time, sucking a mark over his thumping pulse.

His grin succumbs into another shuddering breath.

‘Kiss me like that again and I’ll show you.’’
