HAPPY TWO YEARS PLUVI!!! u deserve all the love you have received in this time and more 🥰🥰🥰 for the word and wip how about "soft" and ofc great celestial hieroglyphs :unless: and I'd love to hear some more of your directors commentary on rule of three! perhaps little side things you thought about whilst writing that you didn't end up including etc??

TYSM BLAKIE soft is a RLLY good one..... there r 12 instances of soft (or softly) in hieroglyphs! one of them was already revealed in a previous ask, actually

You fall back into the soft grass. Above, the sky is brighter than he’s seen all winter. “I don’t adhere to the idea that the universe likes you better than everyone else, Zeno. Get used to it."

a lot of what i have to say about rule of three you already know bc u are the reason it exists LMFAO but im always happy to ramble more. originally there was gonna be a bonus scene at the very end where reo tries to sneak out in the morning only to find the reader sitting at the breakfast table (maybe reading a newspaper bc i was kinda leaning into giving the reader v masc traits but we dont have to go into that), and there they'd have a more in-depth convo about how the relationship might work and a more frank confession without the influence of nagi "why do we have to talk about this when we could just act on it" seishiro. thank god for the reader bc if they werent so Genuinely On Top Of Communication the whole thing would be a mess JAHSBFG

i think the reader's characterization—that being a v assertive, dominant (tho not in an inherently sexual way) partner—came about under the thought that, well, if nagi n reo have been pining after each other for probably going on a solid decade—the entirety of their adult lives and a good portion of their teenage years—then the reader had to be the kind of person who would take action where they hadn't. it's not shown in the fic but it's the reader who originally broaches the topic to nagi! sorta a "reo's rlly cute dont u think" "yeah" "do u wanna kiss him?" "??? a little ig? but im dating u and i love u so idc" "well if we all wanted to we could all be dating each other" kinda convo JAKHSFV

this is also, imo, one of the readers that comes quite close to how i might act in a situation like it. Miscommunication as a plot device specifically in reader inserts where i am supposed to be the reader (ok..... in general, not just in fiction, but) is genuinely infuriating to me bc i like to think i am a very fucking good communicator. and im rlly not the kind of person who tolerates the kind of coyness that a lot of people employ when trying to test the waters of flirting, if someones interested in me i much prefer they outwardly flirt or state that interest directly than beat around the bush. i think a lot of that comes out in ro3's reader, and a personality like that is very important imo when one is engaging in romance in a way that doesn't adhere to the norm. polyamory in particular requires communication, a lot of it, and i rlly wanted the reader to be someone who would not tolerate a lack thereof. i like to think i pulled it off!

send in a word and a wip and i’ll give you a sentence that uses it or send in your favorite moment from one of my fics and i’ll give you a director’s commentary!
