#thank you so much! i’m glad you like my creations 🥹

[bougainvillea-and-saltwater]

you have such a unique and beautiful style of creating!

CATCHING UP WITH MY ASKS DAYS LATER, BUT‼️‼️‼️IT DOESN’T MATTER, I SWEAR, THIS MADE ME BEYOND DELIGHTED TO READ AND I’M SO, SO GRATEFUL YOU FELT LIKE SENDING ME THIS SWEETEST ASK, ANON! 🫂🩷🤲

[beloveds-embrace]

i’m here to complain that you’re writing lives rent free in my mind, and i’m constantly rereading your dukedom au bc in my brain i have no thoughts, simply noona writing. i would also like to complain that i have received no apology for breaking my heart w/ the beautiful angst you write, but i suppose i can soldier through (T^T)

in all seriousness, i love your work, and i’m so very happy you decide to share it with us when you have no obligation or incentive to. i think a lot of people take that for granted and often forget that writers and artists share their work because it makes them happy to do so, but if they’re made to feel uncomfortable or treated like content machines, they will (and have every right to) stop sharing their creations.

so in light of some people being needlessly rude to you, i just wanted to tell you how much i love your writing and how grateful i am that you share it with us <3 i hope you have an incredibly day and holiday season (if you celebrate any) !!

I love you sm but you had me so stressed for a few seconds 😭😭

In all seriousness, thank you so much! This means so much to me <33 though I definitely agree with you, people in general forget that artists and writers do their things for free- none of them are getting paid for it so it’s just incredibly stupid to be rude to them for something like that 😭 like what reason do you have to be mean to the people keeping your fandoms going??

Anyways. Once again, thank you so much!! I’m always glad to hear people enjoy my writings! 🥹💕

…not apologizing for any angst tho 😌

Hello! Just finished PS. I cannot praise you enough. Its easily the best thing ive read this year, and my resolution was to read multiple books a month. You surpass ALL OF THEM!

Saw ur authors note at the end abt an original queer vamp novel- is there anymore info yet? Im sure you've got ppl begging already but id truly love to beta when the time comes- or be first in line to preorder.

I feel like i read this at exactly the right time of my life.

The story was so painful yet rewarding bc i see so much of myself in Tyrus. Astarion and Tyrus truly feel like two different exstensions of my healing self. I wont go into it, but im a survivor to. Like tyrus, it happened when i was a young. Seeing his transformation throughout his decade of enslavement, his hatred towards himslef and the world, all bc of one man hit home. I kept telling myself that if it didnt have a happy ending id have to burn my phone or smthn lol. Seeing Astarion amd Tyrus not just defeat Cazador, but do it together, do it solely through their love of one another, broke me. The power of love, hope, and goodness. I havent cried over a fanfic since middle school. Im in my 20s now. I adored the final 2 chapters of the aftermath- im so grateful we got to meet his sister! And with Halsin, no less!

Im so thrilled you'll be adding oneshots and other stories to the universe. Tyrus is so real, so alive, id hate to see him contained in one story.

I love how Tyrus, ultimately, changeed. He didnt change into a monster like he feared, but what happened to him did changed him. Thats not a bad thing, tho. He's still Tyrus, simply a new version. And im still me, simply a new version.

I dont know if ill ever be able to reread, even skimming over the rougher parts was hard, but im so grateful i was able to see Tyrus and Astarion's journey. All of their triumphs felt like mine, all of their failures. Their never wavering love and trust in one another, that they understood it was Cazador that made them do those bad things. Ur right, pain and love must be intertwined, which is why this fic was so amazing. The highs would have never felt so spectaular without the lowest of lows.

Im rambling, i apologize. I do hope you read this, even if you dont respond. I hope my thanks and praise can give u something in return for what you've given me.

If you've made it this far, have you made any content on ur process? Ur planning? The flow was amazing, ur description, the flashbacks- did you go to school for writing? As a writer myself im almsot jealous at ur talent- but mostly curious :) id love to know anything you're willing to share.

Again, thank you. This was a gift, you know. I wont forget it.

Hi turtleurtle!! Great to see you over here, thank you so much for your kind words 🩵🩵 it means a lot any time I hear people enjoyed PS as much/more than published fiction!!

Speaking of, yes, since you ask I do have a little more to say now on my original story. I took a small writing break for a week or so but have now jumped back into the saddle for the next adventure! Lots of plotting, character creation, worldbuilding, and research happening right now.

Reuben, our first main POV, is almost fully fleshed out as a character and I’m so excited for you all to meet him (he’s an eloquence bard, for starters)!! The first book/part is almost fully outlined and I’ve written the first few pages. I’m really starting to get inspired by where the storyline is going.

Back to PS though—I’m so glad you felt seen with Tyrus’s character. He did inevitably change, but by the end he is (mostly) at peace with that and can still forge a good life and happy relationships. Meeting Cynda again was that last little piece of hope he needed to believe it 🥹

Haha the light does always seem brighter when you’re stuck in pitch darkness! On the other hand, it’s something Tyrus only thinks once, but I would argue love is not intertwined with pain more than anything else. Pain is just an inevitability. No matter what you do, you will experience discomfort, sorrow, loss, physical suffering (see Cazador, with absolutely zero love in his life). While love is not inevitable, it’s a choice. Love is a gift we choose to give and to receive in the midst of inevitable suffering and that is why it is so precious. Having that perspective has really helped me heal and have more hope for the future 🩵

Haha never apologize for rambling about PS! This thing has consumed my soul for the last 8 months so I love the chance to hear from/converse with people especially now that the full story is posted and all is revealed. Honestly wish I could sit down with you all and just discuss everything!! But seriously thank you for this message.

As for my writing, here’s a few writing advice asks I've answered, but i haven’t gotten too in-depth on my chaotic process yet. I will say long walks talking to myself, bullet lists, and brackets are my personal recipe for success (besides just writing for years and years) 😂 I did take a lot of classes in school too! If people have specific questions, I’m happy to give my best go at an answer.

Thanks so much 🥰

Hi it’s me again. I am totally enamoured by your art but I don’t think I ever explained why I liked it so much so here we go. This morning I was in the shower and I started thinking about you, just like that and I asked myself “why do you love them so much?”

You are not just someone who knows how to draw. You’re a total artist because I just have the feeling that you breathe creativity. I enjoy how unsettling your art is sometimes and that gives me a true feeling of excitement. It’s just the perfect amount of crazy to elevate the piece. And it flows so naturally, so beautifully that there is absolutely no doubt that it’s you. That you’re sharing a little part of yourself with us.

Whenever an artist does something great, I can’t help but wonder about who they are as a person and that’s the feeling your creations give me.

Side note: I LOVE how you draw Geto. As someone who’s read and written A LOT of fanfic, I always marvel at how multifaceted he is and always try to keep that in mind when I’m writing him. I think you capture his energy in such a soft, loving way. His strange feminine energy is always au rendez-vous and I love that.

Thank you for your work!

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺🥺🥺 I just want you to know that i nearly rested up in public reading this!!!! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

tjank you for telling me so much kind words i don't know how many thank yous i can say for it to match 😭😭😭💖 im glad you enjoy my messed up works!!! and super happy to know that you love the gentle way i draw geto, i always try to capture that along with his androgyny

thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖

[softle0]

fuck these rude ass people! i LOVE all your creations and have downloaded every single one! keep your head up!

Thank you so much 🥹💕 people like you makes me want to keep creating more and more content to share 🫶🏻😭 I’m glad you’re enjoying my creations so far!

[thetriumphantpanda]

I finally read Come Away With Me (Saturday) and I’m literally crying tears of joy… I’ve waited so long for it to be JUST the right time to read it and I’m so happy I did. Their love is so beautiful. The familial love of all of the other characters. Tommy’s unwavering love for Pretty Girl, Joel and Pretty Girl’s intense and passionate love and in my opinion most importantly, Tommy and Joel’s love for each other 🤍 this chapter was beyond beautiful. EVERYTHING I could’ve dreamed of! Congrats and thank you for bringing this mesmerizing story into creation 🥹 my heart will break when it’s over

AHHHHH I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT!

Thank you so much 🥹 Honestly, the mix of love here is what makes me the happiest - that I've been able to create a mix of people who just love each other unconditionally but in totally different ways? It just works and I am so happy you all see that, and feel that when you read them.

Sunday is coming at you later tonight, and then the epilogue will follow, but I'm so emotional we're almost done. Thank you for reading and for being so kind!

[quinloki]

HI I’m back, the 🌷 one and I’d love to be added to ur tag list omg 🥹 the lil tulip is like my favorite emoji to add to texts, it’s just so darling and I feel like I’m presenting it like a little gift like here! 🌷 a flower for ur troubles! Or ur joys, should the occasion call for it hehe

I’m sorry that ur sick!!!! 🥺 I’m glad u have someone to help, plz be sure to get good rest! 🫶🏻

I’m not very good at coming up with headcanons for characters (tho I do eat that shit up like it’s going out of style djdhfh) Um, if u’d like, I can tell u some about my OCs! I haven’t posted much about them (thank u blend of anxiety and perfectionism) so I’ve just got a gaggle of em that make rounds through my brain shdhdh

To make it interesting (and cause I can’t choose, they’re my creations it’s like asking to pick a favorite child DHDH) I’ll let u pick which u want to know more about!

Or something else on ur mind! ✨👀

Sincerely,

The 🌷

You are officially added \o/

And please do share your OCs with me - whichever ones you want, and how much you want to. You can even admit you're undecided on things and talk about all the variables you're thinking about.

I love hearing about OCs ^_^ Even if they're WIPs =D

[izaswritings]

Hii I'm not into and never touched honkai but I read your recent Blade fic and I was kind of touched by it. I think the idea of a former craftsman moving onto himself as his own final act of creation is really moving, (and honestly very Silmarillion-esque)(the fact that hes literally called Blade). And him finding comfort in his new teammates (?) And describing time with them as when "when the mara is farthest away" is just really good. You're also really good at getting in a character's headspace, the whole time I was reading I was like Wow. This guy is sad. Also I was pleasantly surprised that there was no romance in this. The whole time I was expecting Blade and Jing Yuan to have something going on but honestly I like your interpretation of them just being "almost friends" much better. It's more realistic and oddly sadder. Anyway all this to I really liked your work !

Thank you so much!!!!!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! :D I’m so happy you liked my take on it all; Blade is a fascinating character to me hfdgskjh bc YES!!! a craftsman who becomes his own last act of creation… literally calling himself a blade…. there is something sooooo interesting in the symbolism of the whole ordeal, and even after this whole fic picking at the idea i still feel like i could write 10k words more on the concept alone jhsdgjh

Also, I’m glad you liked my take on Jing Yuan and Blade….!! I’m glad it made sense too hdsjfgj two people who perhaps weren’t that close, almost friends as you say… and yet they are all thats left, and it ended so terribly. but also: they are all that’s left. so regardless of what they were before, in the “now” this bond means something so much greater. and the regret is almost worse, perhaps, because could you ever say you knew this person well enough to grieve them…? (I am rambling again but suffice to say: THANK YOU i think abt messed up sad platonic relationships all the time and I’m glad it hit right!!!)

This was such a sweet message to see in my inbox; thank you so so much!!!! This really did make my whole week 🥹💖

[shellxrls]

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deep admiration for your incredible writing skills. The way you weave words together is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each sentence you craft engrosses readers like me, immersing us in a world of your creation. Your talent is truly remarkable. Your choice of words and vivid descriptions transport us to every setting you depict, imprinting the scenes in our minds long after we've finished reading. I genuinely love your work. It has easily become a breathtaking escape from reality. Please remember that your talent holds immense power. Through your words, you have the ability to inspire, entertain, and evoke profound emotions from your readers. I am certain that your creativity will continue to flourish and impact the literary world. In times when self-doubt may creep in, and the creative process seems challenging, remember that your words are a gift. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us. I am forever in awe of your writing prowess and eagerly look forward to the next masterpiece you will grace us with. ILYSMM

anon omg… i can’t even express how this message made me feel i’ve probably already read it at least 10 times over since i saw it, i’m at a loss for words for how to even respond to this bc of how special it is to me 🥹. the first time i read it i honestly wanted to sob, this is so incredibly sweet, i cannot believe you took the time out to write such a beautiful message and i’m so grateful for it - more than you cld know. it’s so insane to me that you enjoy my writing enough to compose something as kind as this and i love and appreciate you so, so much for being so fucking thoughtful and writing it out & sending it.

i will truly think about this forever, this has given me so much motivation and made me so eternally happy and i feel so lucky to have you here to support me. i’m so glad that my work has had a positive impact on your life, i love that you enjoy it enough to think of it as an escape and i hope that i continue to produce content for you to lose yourself in.

thank you, from the bottom of my heart. i love you so much and i am so grateful for you 🩷.

[delvalentine]

Wow, im so sorry to see that vile anon comment. They must be so unbelievably miserable and insecure to think that talking to another human being like that is okay. Like wow, imagine using the comment section of a random fanfic to vent out your frustrations with life and direct it towards the writer. Fuck that anon. Your fics are always bomb and i love them all, including the ones that are for fandoms I'm not even in lol. Your writing is always superb, and you as a person also seem like a very cool and kind person. So, despite not knowing you I will say i love you as much as a stranger can, and i wish you all the best. You're amazing

Thank you 🥹🫶🏼 my fave compliment ever is hearing that people sometimes read outside of their fandom bcs they trust in my writing so much 😭

and as much as I want to sympathize with this person for seemingly going through something so upsetting that they feel the need to purple prose ugly words to another person (on a Scaramouche Genshin Impact fic on AO3 like PLEASE get a life 💀) … seek therapy & healing, not anonymous abuse ??? Loser mentality fr. Must be exceedingly toxic for the person themselves if they can find the willpower to be so mean for no reason. I’m glad I’ve matured to the point where I’m disappointed but can move on easily; I can only imagine how devastating these words could be to somebody who was struggling with insecurity. Sometimes it’s really difficult to share your work online and this surely wouldn’t help.

Just goes to show that it could really be a matter of somebody’s mental health shattering if you don’t decide to just quietly exit out of a piece of creation you don’t like. You don’t have to like everything you read and you can even hate it, but it’s so easy to just exit the tab and move on. Words can really be so harmful to human lives. It’s never okay to talk to somebody in such an angry way, ESPECIALLY when it’s just for some silly fanfic that people create in good fun… super disappointing that people lack the maturity to behave, especially since they don’t even have the gall to come off of anon.

Sad world tbh … but anons like you remind me there are still decent people left in fandom space 😌

[lqfiles]

[seekforwarmth]

hi, lou! 💙

thank you for your great wishes. i really feel better now, don't worry! 🫂

i think i have watched two or three documentaries. can you recommend me your top 3 favorite? 😄

oh, i understand how you feel. i have been in a writing rut for few days. i think was a bit too harsh on myself, because i just want it to be perfect, you know? and i'm not really satisfied with what i have written til now. as you know, this is my first time participating in this kind of fests, so i was wondering... what does a "check-in" mean for the event? my work should be ready til the date of the check-in or...? 😞

it's so good to see louis again. i missed his pretty face so much. he looked so happy and smiley. can't wait to see more from him this year. 🐳

scotland and brazil sound amazing! one of my friends went to study in scotland and after she graduated from college, she decided to stay and work there instead of coming back to my hometown. i have always dreamed about traveling all over the world. the most recent destination i put on my wish list is madeira island. 🦋

my questions for the day: what inspired you to make gifs and gifsets? how did you learn to make them? 😇

take care,

- your secret valentine 🥹

hi, my love! 💖

i’m glad you’re better but just in case, pls know that you always come first.

mind you, i haven’t watched a lot, i have just started so i don’t have favourites yet. but i’ll mention the last ones i watched and maybe they seem of interest to you: “american nightmare”, “keep sweet”, and “escaping twin flames”. check out the warnings though, they deal with heavy topics.

i completely understand you bc it’s how i always feel when writing a fic, i want everything to be perfect, but we’re humans and we’re not perfect. the best thing we can do is just enjoy the process. i know you can’t tell me too much 🤭 but ask yourself what are you most excited to write abt and then write it (a first kiss? a conflict? the end?). it may help you to see with clarity where your story is going. like, i stopped working on my wip for several days bc i can’t seem to write any descriptions but yesterday i was like “what if i just write the dialogues and leave the rest for later?” and that’s what i did, so now i’m excited to keep working on the dialogues and i can add the descriptions later, or change them as the story goes idk. and maybe i’m just biased but to me you’re amazing, and i’m sure your story will be too bc you’re the one writing it. <3

as for the “check-in”, i think they just want to make sure that the person is working on the gift bc if i remember correctly, the creation period marks until february 13th which means you have until pretty much the very last minute to finish everything. i’m so nervous abt it bc it seems so close now but i’m sure we both can do it! 😁

seeing louis was everything i needed and more tbh! i feel that’s why i was extra motivated yesterday. just seeing him makes me extremely happy 🤧

madeira island sounds amazing! i just googled it and it looks like a great place to visit. i hope you get the chance to do it!

ooooof, i hope i don’t bore you with this lol. when i first joined the fandom, i met a person (i won’t name them out of respect bc it’s a unique name and maybe they don’t want ppl to know, they’re not in the fandom anymore) who knew how to make gifs and graphics. i felt like i wasn’t contributing to fandom anything bc the only thing i did was reblogging (which btw that’s already doing so much in this era where no one wants to reblog anything), so i asked this person if they could teach me how to make them. i started with graphics bc it was easier for me to work with pictures and stuff, and once i get the hang of it, i started with gifs. the first ones i made were of louis saying “soccer” for the usaians benefit 🤧 but anyway, even before starting making gifs, i was in a gc with a lot of gifmakers and they were very welcoming but i felt alien being the only one who didn’t know what they were talking abt when they were complaining abt frames, and quality, and colouring 🫠 i have to thank A LOT of ppl in the fandom who used to make tutorials, share their colouring tips, and just in general were very supportive. none of them is in the fandom anymore but you can still see their gifs around heheh. i know i’m not the fastest one making them, but i still feel proud of the quality and the colouring in my gifs <3

i have a question for you! if louis was an actor, what kind of movie would you like him to be in? 🤩

take care, my sweet!

[obsessivelycartoonish]

Just finished watching rottmnt.

And was completely devastated.

Then I found ur blog and ajsjfevajqbeidnwksndjw

Bless ur soul and hand of creation!

I am but a mere morsel in ur presence (I have no idea what I'm saying)

Thank u for bestowing upon us the blessing and gift that is the the great honor to see and enjoy ur creations

It's- *sobs* so beautiful

(Me desperately clinging onto more rottmnt content to fill that gaping hole in my chest)

*whispers* i love u

In a totally platonic, more "gives eternal gratitude and admiration for the savior who graced me with norshiment and peace" kinda way

When I tell you how much I smiled reading this, you are honestly the sweetest💕🥹🙏 it’s the support and motivation from ppl like you that make me wanna keep creating more content for fandoms!

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the rottmnt content as much as I am!! Thanks again for the support, love ya too😘 (in a platonic I appreciate you sm with my entire heart and that I’m bursting at the seems with joy)

[softguarnere]

Maybe it’s partly cause I’m sleepy, and just ate some caramel fudge, and listening to bassy dub music, and I received two of the best ships/matchups ever recently, but I’m just a little overwhelmed at how sweet this fandom is. When I got into BoB, TP and GK around 5 years ago, there was only a small handful of Fics , practically all on ao3.. The fandom has grown and there are some lovely lovely writers and blogs and I guess I just wanted to express how much I appreciate all the beautiful writings and all the kindness and friendliness I’ve received from your blog and from other HBO war blogs over time, it really is the sweetest fandom... time for me to sleep :)

Anon, this is so sweet, thank you so much for reaching out 🥰 This fandom has some of the absolute sweetest people I've ever had the privilege of interacting with, and I'm glad that you were able to find that as well!

(Sorry for oversharing, but): Part of the reason I started this blog was because after I watched BOB I scoured Tumblr and AO3 for content, only to realize that if I wanted more content, I was going to have to be willing to contribute to its creation. I was also at the lowest point of my life, genuinely thinking that there was no kindness or justice in the world and that everyone in it hated me, but interacting with all the lovely people in this fandom convinced me otherwise 💖I know I say this a lot, but it really does mean the world to me when I get messages like this and learn that the fandom that got me through so much enjoys my silly writing or enjoyed interacting with me 🥹

I appreciate you too, Anon, and I'm so glad you've enjoyed this blog! I enjoy interacting with y'all and hope that this lovely fandom continues to be just as sweet as we continue through this year. Sweet dreams! 💕🕊️

[astrobei]

you are. soso talented and cool ilysm actually. i just read not all the prayers and it absolutely destroyed me (in a good way!) your writing is just so BEAUTIFUL and heartbreaking and well-balanced if that makes sense?? all your fics are very uniquely You. like. i can always tell that this is a Suni Astrobi Creation (tm) because your style is so consistent and wonderful every time, i always love seeing you on my dash <33

WHAT !! ohhhh my god hello whoever u are i am running circles around my room rn this is so sweet 😭 idk about Cool bc i am, canonically, a Loser, but i’m so glad u enjoyed the fic !! omg i think “well-balanced” is one of the most encouraging compliments i’ve ever gotten on my writing because i’m always worried that i’m overdoing it with one aspect (narration, dialogue, imagery, etc) and not including enough of another thing so seriously thank u this made my day !!! also i have no idea what my style is because i have like. Zero objective perception of my own writing LOL but it warms my heart that someone thinks it’s distinct !! i’ve been Trying to be more consistent with it since the last few months have been the first (and most) i’ve written in Years so OOOH ANYWAYS thank u so much for the lovely lovely message !! hope u are having a wonderful day wherever u are 🥹🫂🫂🫂

[babystrcandy]

i dont know how to physically word it out, but Matilda holds a special place in my heart. So, so special..that it almost makes me want to hope that maybe things would work out for me,too. thank you more than anything else for writing it. I cannot be more grateful for your creation. The character development, the feelings, everything is heart touching. If anything.. thank you again. It personally reminds me of too many things, and of whatever has already passed..and that, there's no Min yoongi in my life as oc does :') i love!!

THANK YOU HONEY!! Without support like this I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish this fic so thank YOU!! When I wrote Matilda I was going through a rough time and wrote it to cope, so I’m glad it could reach so many people 🥹❤️ I never expected it to get this much love so thank you for supporting and reading this lil fic! Your kind words mean so so much to me
