If there is ever a point, you need to take longer breaks, you can always post chs every other week. We can wait. I can probably guarantee that some of your loyal readers agree with me.

And if you need another break at any point, I hope you take the 'selfish' route and give yourself a break! You deserve it. You've been pretty good at updating your story on time and keeping us well fed with your work.

You taking a break or few won't deter that.

I wanted to apologize but then remembered how you said not to, so I won't. But I feel for you.

I hope you'll get to love this blog again instead of seeing it as a chore. It's what you deserve. For now, a break from us, and hopefully later on, we can be your break from the real world.

For now, I have some random pics I have in my gallery. The orange kitty is a stray that lives near our house. My grandma hates cats, so I can't keep them.

The second is of one of my plants. It's called 'mother of thousands' cause of the buds it grows on the edges of its large 'petal' (idk what it's called, 😅) would eventually fall off and sprout into more plants. In Spanish, its called 'mala madre' or 'bad mother' cause, according to my grandma, "she has lots of kids but never takes care of them."

And last is just of a mushroom I found one day, lol.

Thank you lovely 💚 I do appreciate everyone's support, truly.

I mostly didn't want people to apologize because I knew some people would apologize because they felt like they were adding to the stress, but that's definitely not the case. It was all me putting the pressure on myself to do something that was just not sustainable long term. I don't want anyone to feel bad about interacting or sending asks or anything. It was all my own doing.

I love and appreciate these pictures so much 🥹 I'm stuck sitting at a desk all day for the next five days so I really appreciate the glimpses of the outside world 💚

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT.

Hear me out, please

It suits Ruggie and Daisy for some reason. I love how you draw Ruggie looking at Daisy! It reminds me of how Aladdin looks at Jasmine. (Also your art is so pretty!!)

HELPPPPPPPP NO NO YOU'RE COOKING, ALADDIN IS JUST ANOTHER VARIANT OF RUGGIE–

*Ahem* every time there's a royal x thief/poor character I'm always like "GASP IT'S DAIGGIE!!!" like Lady and Tramp, Eugene/Flynn and Rapunzel, Aladdin and Jasmine... It's just UGHHH😭😭 SO GOOD

I'm so happy to hear you comparing the way I draw Ruggie looking at Daisy to the way Aladdin looks at Jasmine like oh my goodness 😭😭 THAT'S A HUGE COMPLIMENT... TY????? Imagine the first time he sees her it's just like when Aladdin first sees Jasmine– I rest my case

[willowser]

it makes me so sad when you joke about shutting up, or others wanting you to shut up. none of us think that way. we are here because we love you and love your thoughts! your love for bakugo is so sweet and sincere, and we wanna share in it! please don’t be mean to yourself.

[munkiey]

I love your art. And I certainly love your little sona. It's cute. I'd like to give you a little pat on the head but I have the feeling you'd bite me. /lh

Anyways, cool monkie person, keep up the greatness that is you.

hi! i think about your stories every day, mainly because i think your joels are one of the best ever.

i really want to know, in your opinion, what is the most integral aspect of canon joel? and do you think its important to maintain it in canon divergent stories like yours? 

sorry for the stupid analysis question i just really love your writing and want to know more about your thoughts on this character!!

yeeeha my two fav things joel miller and character analysis

i think i look at joel and see an umbrella of traits and attributes. he's incredibly strong-willed, he's courageous, he's loyal, he's observant (to name a few). but he's also burdened with this sort of...fear, i guess? this hesitation to allow himself the experience of loving, of needing and wanting - and i think all of this lumps together and sits comfortably under this protector, provider character i see him as.

he is fiercely protective of those he loves. zero hesitation. he'll show up every fucking time. regardless of who or what tries to stop him. and he cares; even when he doesn't want to, even when he knows he doesn't need to, even when it's buried someplace deep inside him and he doesn't necessarily feel safe or comfortable enough to let it show. to me, he's an incredibly complex character whose motivations and biggest strife all stem from this one thing: he can't not protect. he can't ignore it. it's in his nature.

as for your second question - i think it's a personal preference! each writer will do it differently, each reader will enjoy it differently. i personally like to stick to how i think joel would behave in any of the situations i put him in, because canon joel is legit everything to me lol. but the way i see canon joel will be slightly different to the next, and the next, and so on and so forth! that's the beauty of fanfic and creating art from art.

most of my stuff so far has been very canon-divergent, but i still stick to the core characteristics i see in joel: sometimes, a story requires more of one side to him than the other (e.g. in sof, he resembles the joel we see in the pt ii flashbacks with ellie - his wit and humor - rather than the stoic, emotionless joel we first meet in pt i), but still very much traits i see in him.

personally, for my writing and my joels, it is important to me that they hold onto those core aspects. as long as he's a little grumpy, a little funny, and would watch the world burn to keep his loved ones' toes warm, i can make him do anything. that's the fun of it to me.

(big shout to @familyvideostevie, who let me talk her ear off about this ask and is an excellent student of joel's character.)

Hello Jude 😊

Don't even matter if I say I do mind, does it? Yer just gonna keep comin' 'round to squawk at me anyway. So sure, why not.

[a-hazbin-reader]

Hii you don’t have to reply to this message. I just wanted to say you do amazing writing. The headcanons are adorable, the portrayal of all the characters are often accurate instead of OCC and your headcanons/stories are incredibly funny. Keep up the good work and I hope you have an amazing day

This is so sweet!! I love you-I mean-I LOVE YOU
