Hi, you recently deleted the second fic from the series "Lily White, Poppy Red" on your ao3 just as i was about to reread it😭. Is everything ok? Did anything happen? It was an amazing fic and i really looked forward to rereading it. I am a bit concerned, why delete it?

Hi!! It's not deleted, it's on private because Ao3 flagged it for some reason. I'll definitely never delete a fic without prior warning! Hopefully it'll be cleared soon and made public again, but maybe this link will work:

Anyways, thanks so much for reading!!!

ID: Ao3 comment from a guest account Ghostbag1066 that reads:

The recent chapters have been a significant departure from what made this fanfiction enjoyable in the first place. The themes feel muddled, the character arcs are unsatisfying, and there's a pervasive sense of exhaustion in the writing. It's as if you're trying to force something that no longer wants to be written. Sometimes, the greatest act of self-care is acknowledging when a creative project has run its natural course and allowing it to gracefully conclude. It frees up your mental and emotional energy for new ideas that genuinely excite and invigorate you, rather than clinging to something that has become a source of frustration. END ID

hey uh new type of ao3 spam comment just dropped. (I know it's spam because the fic they left this comment on . doesn't have chapters. lmfao). Report this kinda comment as spam and don't take it personally it is literally recycled bullshit

stop being silly in front of me

propaganda i am not falling for:

always moving on. some goodbyes need to rot a little. some griefs need to be held in the mouth like a stone.

beauty defined by algorithms. beauty exists in crow feet and smile lines

pretending to be chill. i’m not chill. i care deeply and inconveniently. i read into things. i write poems about eye contact

beige apartments with no soul. give me bookshelves and incense and loud art

sneaky links and unclear intentions. i want devotion. and also clarity

treating books as decor. read them. dog-ear them. argue with them in the margins

I love hijab Mohawks

there are a lot of reasons i don't vibe with evil water tribe/good fire nation atla aus but i think one of the main ones is that people try to swap zuko & sokka and azula & katara and that just doesn't work bc the emotionally driven one standing up for what they believe in is katara and the high-strung strategist trying to make their dad proud is sokka

woah I’m actually done????

there’s a good lesson here notorious procrastinators should never volunteer to hand-draw 52 unique playing cards 

also they’re animated gifs right now because that’s how they’re formatted on the photoshop files and I’m not in the mood to separate them yet.

Earnie is on the left with a bowl of popcorn and Bert is om the right with a book. There's a picture of them in the background on the wall. END ID

if you’re a baby trans and you haven’t started smoking cigarettes or vaping yet don’t. it’s actually not that hot or interesting. It will just cause you ungodly frustrations and suffering and cost you a bunch of money and be next to impossible to quit

It took me too long to realize that not all the world is my enemy

[ID: A comic done mostly in black and white. A hound with a broken chain around its neck flees a cage and runs into two reaching hands. The hound bites one hand, drawing blood. Narration says, "When I fled my cage / I bit the hands that took me in / Because the only hand I'd ever known / was a bad one."

The hands, now with fresh bite marks, still reach out gently to the hound. ""We're not him." they said / and I knew what they meant / but I didn't understand."

Floating in white space: "Now I understand / but the damage is done."

A person enters a door, rolling a suitcase, saying "Hi" to two people on a couch, who look up from their newspapers and phones to say "Hey" and "Hi" back. The shadow of the person who entered the room stretches out before them-- a hound's, not a person's. Narration: "I'm so sorry / I couldn't help it / I couldn't help myself."

We see the hands of the people on the couch. Both have faded bite marks on them. "I was so blind, I forgot / that not all hands are made of iron." End ID]
