retrospring archive 1/11/2025:

hello gwen!

i want to start of by saying that i love your works! some of them are my biggest favorites, not just as t1/lolrpf fics but as in fanfics overall. my favorite ones by you are the 'we just need some time together' and 'say you'll remember me' series. the slowburn and the angst really kept me on my toes ;-;

the reason im writing is because recently i saw a fanart for aml on twitter (@mikqa_XN2) and it somehow reminded me of an album i listened to years ago, made by an band that was formed by a couple of people from my high school. the album is called 'Det vi tänkte' (by Between The Lines) and the song lyrics from it gives a feeling of regret, mistakes you made in your youth that makes you question if you can go back to how things used to be. hearing the songs reminded me of your wooje, him leaving everything and everyone behind, how it haunts him and the mixed feelings he has for his hometown. aml hits close to my heart as similar to wooje, i also moved away from my hometown and has lost contact with almost everyone aside from family. the way you wrote him made him felt so real and alive and raw in his feelings. (alkjslhnduh)

'Det vi tänkte' album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uwa4PGm4sM&list=OLAK5uy_kktLPc9uiwfO3gNhxwq2KKG_56J0GArVI&index=1

(FYI, the songs are in swedish. If you google their songs you can find the lyrics and translate them. i can otherwise try to translate them for you if you want)

just wanted to share about the album and the connection with aml that i made. I also wanted say that your works are always a wonderful treat to read. you have a way with your words and characterization of people that it feels like im watching a movie in my head when im reading. every time i see that you have posted something new makes me excited to see what michelin dish you have cooked up (yummy). keep up with your work!

(this essay-like ama is so scuffed, im sorry you have to read my scrambled eggs thoughts x_x)

okay so im like the worst person in the world because i have not been checking my retrospring and its. BEEN A MONTH??? im sooo sorry op. thank you so much for reading and enjoying my works hehe--i feel like a lot i wrote in early 2023 was fr just angsty slowburn but they do have special places in my heart.. ahh gumakeria and fakenut... never die.

and omg i went and i listened to the ep right away!! ALSO THE BAND WAS MADE BY PPL IN UR HS? THATS DOPE ASF! i looked at the english translation for the lyrics too, and wow i really see what you mean as it does remind me of aml too 🥹🥹 i liked all the songs but the 1st was my favorite--"När Vi Möttes Över Borden" just has such a chill vibe to it and i loove the vocals of the singer sm :') the way it just all builds up in the chorus is SO beautiful, and how the vocalist is almost screaming.. its so emotive. idk how scuffed the english translation i read was, but the heartache lyrics of "i am the one who never sleeps/who never keeps my promises" and "one day you might regret me" was so.. aaaaah. also the guitar break! SLAPS. my god.. this is a proper length for a song alright (5:40 yessir). but wow all of the songs were really good and by god the lyrics of "Vägen Hem" were so T-T heartbreaking and specifically reminiscent of aml as well... i feel like the genre and inner conflict people have with their hometowns is just so universal for people all around and its just something i love seeing in art as its truly just a part of growing up.

again i feel like u deserve so many apologies for the belated reply 😭😭 i feel so bad my god. i hope you do get to see this anon op, SHDFKJHSDFmalksjfd oops... but thank you so much for the music recs, i really enjoyed them!! and thank you so much for submitting this message <3

sometimes the best fanfics are written by middle aged adults with years of writing experience who simply know how to craft a good story. but also sometimes the best fanfics are written by a sixteen year old girl with something deeply wrong with her

alt ruination poster sketch that beat me up in a dark alleyway and stole my lunch money

heres a behind the scenes look for the tumblr gang

ok lemme... explain things (for the tumblr gang)

top row: sm faker bengi canyon

bottom: rookie viper guma deft jkl meiko zeus oner keria chovy

t1's designs have me fucking rolling u have faker in his sickass armor and then theres. guma who has a jacket. zeus who has a lightning bolt. oner. keria who has armor.

I FORGOT ROOKIES CAPE AJKBHKJWEBJKFSDBKJABHWEJKBSFNDJKHAJKEWSDJKFNJKAEWBDJSKHJKFHSDK anyway

oh ig you cant fucking see it but bengi's wearing faker's armor too because... yknow. hes copying duh

canyon has a braid bc..... sm would... braid his mane before battles... so its like a tribute haha kill me

i sketched each of these morons individually so i could theoretically paint them and then move them around for duo versions or wtv. insert shrek "like thats ever gonna happen" here.

its so funny the sentinels have their whole goon squad and then ruination gang is 5 mfs

im never finishing this on god

[tryhardgwen]

omg i cant believe i never posted these i busted my ass off to draw these after otakuthon to get them in time for fanexpo

in the end they showed up... the friday of fanexpo SDLKFJS:DLKGH:LSKDLJF

the process was so... its so joever WERE SO BACK its so joever WERE SO BACK it was actually such a chaotic time im glad i managed to birth them successfully ToT

the physical charms have 4 little stars hanging from them!!! a detail i rly rly like ;u;

(and now that theyve won their fifth star i will be bustin my ass again next yr.... LOL)

[tryhardgwen]

i think i drew this btwn spring and summer?? (yes bc oner was still blond at the time LOL) at the time i was just rly hoping they could get some sleep LOLOL

[tryhardgwen]

zeus from what are you willing to lose chapter 3 except not in his pjs im not doing that

[tryhardgwen]

Did you happen to see the new T1 video with Guma giving Doran a tour of their dorms? My attention was caught by a certain nap room with "no rules" 👀😏

yes i have!! i dont exactly remember when they installed the sleeping pods but i think they were put in there sometime during early spring split 2023, around February (there was an Instagram post on it), iirc because there was construction going on where their dorms were so none of the players could get any sleep from the noises LOL. solution: sleep at hq. kinda funny now that i think about it but i guess they just have it for naps now... or... more. you know, qiqi wrote an onerzeus mentioning the sleeping pods before.

[tryhardgwen]

@tryhardgwen keeps me in line

Hii not a question I just want to tell you your my favourite writer and i am someone who knows nothing about league of legends and watches esports cluelessly but your writing has become a very important part of my fan journey . i used to avoid reading english stories on ao3 and only read the chinese stories in the past but since i discovered your account i read all my love (70 thousand words—thats like harry potter and i couldnt finish it💀 but I finished all my love) we just need some time together (57 thousand words) and im currently reading kim suhwan vs. the world. It’s probably not a lot to you but it’s a lot to me haha…. and after reading your stories im more willing to read others. I feel very inspired to try writing on my own. And my english grades improved too. so thank you for that. I introduced my friends to your stories and they love it too. in conclusion youre very talented at writing and thank you for writing such nice stories 谢谢你哦 我真的觉得你是个写作天才哈哈（thank you i really think youre too good at writing)❤️❤️❤️

hi hello anon and thank you so much!! HSHDFSJ not u mentioning my word counts.. hahha.... yeah my chaptered longfics tend to definitely be. long. they're a lot to me too!! im glad that they're inspired you to try writing as well! and omg helping ur english grades that's fantastic! you're very kind, and thank you so much for always reading my stories😊😊 my chinese is very sub-par (apologies to my ancestors) but here's a win for me: i understood your message without having to look at the translation!

ruler leaves geng for jdg. missing is his support.

peyz leaves geng for jdg. missing is his support.

missing is stuck in a 2 year timeloop and adc becomes geng’s defense against the darks arts position. sprinkle scout and his annual agency business into the mix and what in the world!?

if peyz returns to geng after ruler retires - i -the world implodes

side note: what do you mean lehends is not rulers support? what even is the point of ruler coming back to the lck. sobbing and weeping right now.

i know!! holy crap the stuff going on his offseason is pretty crazy... man i cant believe peyz is fr going to the lpl. at least im pretty excited to see him and scout interact despite all of scouts ?????? situations. if peyz returns to geng after ruler retires i might have to attack someone. possibly. who knows.

[tryhardgwen]

your earlier take was so good it made me cackle. new proposal: lehends leaving rulers room, chovy leaving dorans and peyz just happens to be outside. what goes down?

hello anon and im afraid this answer will be less funny because of the lack of yelling... i believe honestly it will start off with lehends making fun of chovy, probably, like "what the heck!!" and then chovy tries to weakly protest and make fun of him back. and peyz is just standing there like uhh. and then they notice and they're like oh hey suhwanie wanna go get snacks at 3 am in the morning like completely normal people and then they go to 7/11 together and buy snacks. yeah. i love these three sm actually.

2 AM. Peanut coming out of Faker's room. Chovy coming out of Doran's room. Zeus coming out of Oner's room. They make eye contact. What do?

omg anon im so sorry for the late reply but i must say this ends in only one way. peanut chastising chovy, first off. that man is going to get the verbal berating of his LIFE. sorry not sorry but peanut does not support the choran agenda mainly bc his ass does not trust chovy one bit. and for good reason too. zeus is going to stand there incredibly awkwardly as he watches that go down. and then, additionally, because ZEUS is now in peanut's team, zeus is ALSO going to get yelled at. but this time because he left the dorms for a booty call or whatever and "oh my god that's SO irresponsible." please pray for chovy and zeus, they need help vs. the wrath of peanut. they won't even be able to get a word in edgewise about hypocrisy either. it's peanut, after all.

wrote this instead of creating my slide deck due in approx. 2 hours

someone please study my priority list!! ANYWAY, this fic is . quite literally nonsense. it's bullshit. i spent like 3 hours researching MORE demacian lore because i like putting my people into runeterra without.. even making them like large champions or anything. they're literally just dudes chilling doing not much. quite literally runeterran NPCs.

anyway the title, shake my little soul, is from pools by glass animals. it's canyon/showmaker; fluff, 5+1 things, runeterra au. showmaker is a dragon shifter but NOT SHYVANA. it is 8,888 words on ao3. BANGER.

yes this fic was just inspired by the plushie i got. LOL!

[tryhardgwen]

hello all i would like to announce that 1. I MET OOMF!!!!!! HEHEHHEGE i will not stfu abt it. and 2. as a result of meeting oomf, i am now the proud owner of the small showmaker keychain plush. i love him with every fiber of my being. everyone say thank you @spiritblossoming i love you so very much. psa over thank you for listening.

[tryhardgwen]

reading your suhwan vs the world fic made him feel so real to me and now with all of the geng ruler news it feels so heartbreaking that peyz is going to go through all that by himself :(

i… i know… like what he was supposed to get a HAPPY ENDING. ???? AFTER ALLAT? but i guess.. in a way this can be one as well since he’s leaving and growing and really out there facing. well yk. [THE WORLD.] i still sk where hes gonna go, whether it be kt or the lpl i guess we have to wait and see 😭 ill be watching and cheering for him either way tho!!
