god i really do love your city gave me asthma. it sounds so homemade — you can hear wilbur laughing at the end of one song, and a discord notification in the background of another. you can hear his influences and inspirations — los campesinos! references, crywank picking patterns. he doesn’t hit every note but it’s okay because you can tell he loves what he’s doing and does it for catharsis, and you feel that. it’s an imperfect, amateur passion project that inspired me and so many others to learn guitar and write music. it finally got me to set my perfectionism aside and say “hey, maybe i could do that.” it’s about wanderlust and loneliness and anger at the systems you live under and the choice to step out of them, the experience of moving away and the internal conflict that goes with it, and it’s so very human. i love ycgma.

SORRY I KNOW U SAID U DONT WANT TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS AND YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO ANSWER THIS ASK OR U CAN ANSWER IT PRIVATELY IF YOU'D RATHER i just really cant shut up ever and one thing i cant stand is fic writers getting shit in any capacity like omg what is up with unsolicited 'advice'? in some ways i find it WORSE than if people were just actively rude bc it's so backhanded and passive aggressive that you can't really respond how you want to bc they're not technically being nasty and they say it under the guise of being 'helpful' and it's just YUCK. like shut up!!!! who even asked you!!!!! writing fic is a free, beautiful hobby and for some reason people feel entitled to it in ways they really wouldn't with literally any other hobby and it does my head in, so pls pls dont feel like ur being sensitive. that's the main reason im sending an ask bc i get you've acknowledged that it's annoyed you and why so again sorry if im beating a dead horse here, it's just i hate to see you undermining your feelings about something that IS genuinely really frustrating and disheartening. like it will never not baffle me how oblivious some ao3 commenters are to how much their words can impact a writer. just like you, 99% of all my comments are positive, and yet i can probably list verbatim the handful of not-so-nice comments ive had in the years ive been on ao3 bc they just STICK with me. so yeah. you're very valid and i know you dont need me to tell you but you've got a whole army of people who love your work and have your back, so just remember that when someone decides to be obnoxious xxx
Haha hella I adore you & I don’t ever want you to stop talking.
Yeah I think the reason it irked me more this time was because after I got a few scattered comments I didn’t enjoy I kindly asked people not to do it anymore & then the very next chapter someone did it lol. & even asked if I was getting enough sleep … like…. damn it… really?
again I do think I’m being sensitive because fuck it I’m probably not getting enough sleep haha but damn you don’t gotta call me out like that! Lol. & I get so many wonderful comments and fanart and asks and all that jazz but I can’t help but hyper-fixate on the one not so nice comment haha
& then I over think everything & it ruins the fun hobby I’m supposed to be enjoying lol
I love that you get it, thanks for always being so awesome & now for the second or third time coming to have my back. You’re the best hella :)<3

btw i do have a lil crush on robert evans of podcast fame. not as much as i did a couple years ago when i first started listening to btb and like idk there’s things about him/his shows that annoy me or i have problems with but like. for some goddamn reason i am wildly attracted to him. based on his podcast persona alone to be absolutely clear i barely knew what he looked like to start except his twitter icon which isn’t super reflective of how he actually looks. which i’m not even that into i’m just into his vibes
