Tag List Clean Up — Spring 2024

I haven't done one of these in a while... so I figured it was about time. I was going to just drop everyone who hasn't interacted with a fic in the last 3 months, but I figures I'd at least give people the option to stay if they want it.

Below the cut is my current tag list. By the end of May, I will create a new tag list based on who interacts with this post!

If you would like to stay, be added, or be moved, please let me know.

If you'd like to be removed and you haven't interacted recently, you don't have to do anything. If you want to be removed but have interacted recently (last 3 months), just let me know. No hard feelings either way!

I'm so glad these messages can make your day! I always hope they can make someone smile!

I know this one was a little challenging because talking positively about yourself isn't always easy. I'm glad you came up with two! That's a wonderful start! I'm sure you have many more than that. Hopefully as you think about them you pause to remind yourself how amazing you are!

I hope you have a wonderful week! 💖

Did you know that you are AMAZING and have so much to offer this world? Because you are! Recognizing and celebrating your worth fosters resilience and confidence. Can you name three to five traits you admire about yourself? (You can share them or keep them to yourself). Take a moment to enjoy and embrace each one. They make you YOU and that is incredible. 💛 (PS - drink some water)

Thank you for always sending these @lovealexhunt, they really do make my day when I see them.

To be honest, it's difficult to think of five traits (hence why this took a little bit longer to answer) but one thing I would definitely say I like about myself is my passion for my projects such as my comic writing.

Another I would probably have to say is that for the last eight/nine years is that I can be myself after learning what true friendship is after moving to a different school for my sixth form years.

[lovealexhunt]

Love you back! And I hope you know how amazing you are and how many wonderful qualities you have!

Love you to bits, Dani! ❤️❤️❤️

[lovealexhunt]

I know this isn't the easiest task, but I'm glad you came up with at least one, and creativity is such an incredible one to have! I hope you know that even when it's hard to come up with more right now, you are full of amazing qualities! I hope you know and cherished that!

Sending you lots of love!

These asks are always so awesome and such a mood booster!

I don't know about 3 traits but 1 I'll never doubt: my creativity.

[lovealexhunt]

I knew this ask was going to be a bit harder for everyone, but I thought I'd challenge people to think positively about themself. I know that is NOT easy. I'm with you! I'm the worst critic too! Finding anything positive is a challenge! I'm glad you were able to come up with 3! Look at how much you have to offer! You are amazing! You are growing every day and that's wonderful!

Thanks for answering this! 💛

Thank you for these kind words! Asking someone like me to name traits I like about myself. I'm my worst critic 😂

I'm happy to see how far I've gotten in drawing! From colouring books, to following manga tutorial books, to now! Still got room to improve.

I love giving gifts rather than receiving them. I love seeing the happy reactions from the people I give.

I'm getting a bit more sociable. I'm still very introverted, but I'm trying to hang out with friends more.

(Also I meant to answer these asks sooner, but I got carried away ahhh)

[lovealexhunt]

From where do you find your positive message notes? How do I get them?

Hi Nonny,

Do you mean the ones I send in messages to people each week or the ones I use for the SpreadJoy series?

Typically the positive messages I send in messages to people's inboxes weekly are words that I've written. They may be inspired from a message or post I saw but I always try to rewrite it from me to make it personal.

As far as how do you get them, if you don't already get them to your inbox, you can let me know and I'll add you to the list. It started with me sending messages to people I was close to, then it expanded to include people that followed me, then people that participated in events I host, how it's about 80 people in the fandom that I've seen cross my dash. I'm happy to add you to the list! I'm also happy to remove anyone who doesn't want the messages.

If you mean the SpreadJoy positive messages, I started by Googling encouraging and inspiring quotes. As I've been doing it for 4 years now, it's been harder to find new quotes. I try really hard not to repeat. I do follow several positivity accounts on Insta in hopes of finding inspiration for new quotes. To find any of those you may have missed you can go here:

I hope that answers your question! Please let me know if it doesn't or if you have any others! Thanks for the ask Nonny!

[lovealexhunt]

I love this! You are so wonderful! I'm glad you were able to come up with a few traits you admire about yourself. You have so many more qualities than this! But you do make this fandom a more beautiful and amazing place by being here and sharing your talents and skills with us! 💛💛💛

Aaaaa TYSM Dani! I love these messages so much!

Hmmm if I had to choose 3-5 traits to describe myself with...

I can be very passionate and dedicated about the stuff I like, like making Choices edits, making creations for HSS, writing about Choices.

I try to be patient with myself and understand my own boundaries. If I'm struggling with writing or editing something, I give it a break and come back to it later rather than forcing myself to work on it.

At the same time, I do like to try and push myself out of my comfort zone when I can. Initially when I started my Choices blog, I was more interested in just minding my own business posting Aiden stuff. But soon I figured it'd be nice to have people I can talk to, and as a result I've been making a lot of amazing friends on this site.

[lovealexhunt]

You are just wonderful! I know sharing things you admire about yourself isn't easy. I'm the worst at it! I'm glad you came up with three and I hope you know there are many, many more great things about you! 💛💛💛💛

Now, that's a question I did not expect... 💛 There's not much I admire about myself.... this one thing I think is admirable is that I can speak English pretty well (been studying and then teaching EFL for so long). Also, I can juggle doing a lot of things at the same time. And I bake pretty well. There, three. 💛 Thank you for asking. Very therapeutic💛

Awahhh this is so sweet :')) my heart is melting and this was needed thank you :))

There are a few things of my traits that I admire about myself.

The kind of a supportive person that I am, even though I have things going on in my end, I always managed to help someone else in need and makes me forget about my issues

I like how I can be funny to people time to time and even brings up the mood sometimes

How determined I am to complete a goal in my life, my determination lead my life to a point that I grew more success and receiving respect for it

My creativity makes me forget about reality for a moment when doing fanfics or edits

Mostly how fun I can be around people :).

Safe

[Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 1 + Beyond] [Mal’s Orphanage] [Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 2 AU]

Pairings: Mal Volari x Daenarya (F!OC) Book: Blades of Light and Shadow 2 Word Count: 600 Rating/Warnings: General; brief non-graphic mentions of cuts and bruises A/N: Art in header is by @wisejazz. You can see the full image here.

Synopsis: Mal contemplates life as he watches over Daenarya.

His thumb brushed over her knuckles as he held her in his arms. He still couldn't believe she was there—back with him. He had dreamt of this moment so many nights. His arms ached at the loss of her. What he wouldn't have done or given to have a moment like this. 

Now, she was back in the Realm of Light; and yet, he could see the traces of shadows that still haunted her. The cuts and bruises still told of the struggle to escape and the challenges endured. The blood had dried, leaving scaps to heal and bruises once purple began to yellow. 

She hadn't spoken much of her time over there. She didn't remember much. It was still fresh and yet, she didn't have time to heal from its toll before being called forward toward the next adventure.

"The next adventure," he thought to himself. His lips pulled at the thought. The next adventure.

The next quest.

The next score.

The next town.

The next conquest.

That had been his life. 

That had been the path he chose. Never stopping. Never getting too close to know anyone. Connections were a weakness. 

The past lurked just beyond the corner, waiting to pull him back. He wouldn't let it so he kept pushing forward, never stopping, instead chasing whatever the future held. That's what he wanted—what he had always wanted—or so he thought. 

He should be thrilled to be on the move, leaving White Tower behind, but he wasn't. His heart had always been in the adventure, but now, it was split. 

He drew her closer as a whisper slipped from her lips, the threat of nightmares looming. "It's okay," he whispered, brushing the loose strands of hair from her face. "I'm right here. I've got you, Kit."

He spoke soft reassurances to her until she quieted down, her body relaxing in his embrace, safe from all harm.

The others would be back from scouting ahead soon and he'd have to wake her, but not yet. 

The soft breeze whistling through the meadow brought thoughts of the children's laughter. He wondered how they were. He didn't think leaving them would be so hard. The look on their faces when he broke the news to them. Some were brave, happy that he'd be off saving the realm again now that he had Daenarya back. Some worried that without him, they'd be back on the streets. He shook his head. It did no good to worry. They were safe. He left them with his sister and Vivi. They were perfectly safe. In fact, with his sister, they would probably be full of sweets far more often than they should. They might not want him to come back. 

A quiet laugh rumbled in his chest as his heart warmed at the thought. He had never hoped to return somewhere so much before, but to return with her at his side to bask in the life they would build. Maybe running wasn't all there was. Maybe staying would be nice for a while. 

He couldn't stop the smile illuminating his face at the image of what could be. Not now... but soon. When the realm was safe, then he could rest. But until then, he'd keep her safe from all harm. She had been through enough. They all had, but none like her. 

He pressed a lingering kiss on her forehead and held her closer, determined to shield her from the darkness that still lingered. Together, they would protect the Light and the realm. Then, they'd return to the children and finally find some peace.

Just a little drabble for my Blades 2 AU. I hope you enjoy it!

Poll Time!!!

I've seen other people do this so I thought I'd do the same to gauge interest. My writing has really never been "popular" but I enjoyed my small little group of readers, but I feel like my readers are non-existant at this point, so I'm hoping to just get some info from this to help me.

Shining Through The Shadows

[Bryce Lahela x Olivia Hadley Masterlist] 

Pairing: Bryce Lahela x Olivia Hadley (F!OC) Book: Open Heart, present day Word Count: ~1,200 Rating/Warnings: general, no warnings

Synopsis: Olivia prepares a special eclipse viewing party for her patients.

"Where should I put this?" Bryce questioned as he carried a plastic foldable table beneath his arm into the hospital's healing garden. 

"I was thinking right over here," Olivia gestured. "Near the entrance."

Within seconds, he had it open and set up. 

"Thanks!" Olivia rocked up on her tiptoes, placing a kiss on his cheek, before turning back to the task at hand. 

"Anything else I can help with?" 

"Bring me that bag over there?" She motioned her head toward one of the blankets she had set up as she placed a yellow tablecloth over the table. "Grab that basket too, please." 

"Is this all just glasses?" Bryce dug through the bag. "How many do you have here?"

"100... give or take some more," she offered casually while organizing a display of Capri Sun, Sun Chips, and Moon Pies on the table. 

"I thought you only had 31 kids that could come out?"

"And the nurses and the doctors," Olivia defended. 

"But more than 100? Did you leave any for the other departments?" he teased. 

"Yes!" She stuck her tongue out playfully toward him. "Besides, the children need at least 2 each."

"Dare I ask why?" He handed Olivia the basket, which she placed on the table beside the snacks.

"For their stuffed animals and dolls," she answered as though it were common knowledge. Carefully, she placed the glasses in the basket, smiling as she continued, "Of course, they need protection, too."

"I'm not sure that's true," he laughed. 

"Will you be the one telling them their stuffed friend isn't real so they don't need protection?" 

"Not a chance. Ramsey might, though—we'll have to keep him away," Bryce decided with a chuckle. 

"Woah," the ten-year-old Christopher marveled at how the healing garden had transitioned into a picnic area with snacks and art stations. 

The effervescent seven-year-old Savannah bounced with excitement, pulling on her mom's hand. "There's clay! And paint! And crayons! And snacks! This is the best day ever!"

Her mother smiled down at her. Despite all the medical challenges her daughter had faced, she never let it dull her spirit. "Looks like you had a lot of choices, my little Picasso. Where'd you like to start?

One by one, the children entered the garden with their parents. Nurses and doctors mingled throughout, guiding them through the art choices, each station allowing them to explore the eclipse with different art mediums.

As 2:00 approached, Olivia called all the children back together to start their viewing party. 

"We are very lucky to be able to come out here today and see something really special," Olivia began, her eyes wide with excitement as she spoke with the children. 

"Who has seen a shadow before?"

All of the children raised their hands.

"What is the biggest shadow you've ever seen?"

"My dad's really tall so he has a really long shadow," one child called out.

"The shadow of the playground by my house is big in the afternoon," another shared. 

"You have a shadow right there, Dr. Olivia!" Savannah pointed eagerly to the ground beside her. 

"That's right! We all make shadows. Most things leave behind a shadow," Olivia explained. "My shadow is created because I block sunlight from getting to this area. Did you know there is something that looks kind of small but is actually really big and can make day look like night?" 

The kids looked around, whispering to their parents in surprise. 

"That's what's going to happen today. During a Solar Eclipse, the moon moves in front of the sun and blocks sunlight from reaching Earth." She held up a model to help demonstrate. "When the moon is in front of the sun, its shadow will make some places get really dark. Dark enough to see stars."

"I don't like the dark," Noah whimpered, holding his stuffed Koala a little tighter. 

"You don't have to worry," she gently reassured him. "Just like my shadow only makes part of the area dark, it's the same with the moon,"

"So we won't see stars?" Savannah frowned.

"Not until it's actually nighttime. Sorry, Sav! Where we are, we will only see part of the eclipse." Olivia held up an Oreo, twisting the top off to expose the frosting. "In just a few minutes, the moon—" she held up the half without the frosting, "—and the sun—," she held up the half with the icing, "—are going to cross paths." She moved the "moon" half slowly in front of the "sun" half. "As the moon moves, it covers up more and more sunlight. With our special glasses to help protect our eyes, we will get to see the sun seem to disappear until it's just a sliver. It'll still look bright outside, but if we put on special glasses we can see that it'll really look like this."

The kids marveled in excitement and curiosity, eagerly discussing the event with their parents. 

"Me, nurse Laura, nurse Tim, and Dr. Bryce will be around to give you glasses. You must wear them anytime you look up at the sun, okay? Can you give me a big thumbs up if you can do that for me?" The kids did as requested. "Great!" 

The doctors and nurses moved through the group, passing out glasses to each group.

"Here you go." Bryce knelt near Savannah, offering her a pair of glasses. 

The young girl looked around her blanket, raising one finger at a time as she counted. She held her hand toward him. "We need four, please."

"Four?" Bryce looked around, his brow raising curiously.

"Dr. Olivia said everyone needs glasses," she nodded to agree with her previous statement. "Me, Mommy, Teddy, and my American Girl doll."

"You are absolutely right; that is four!" Bryce shook his head with a smile. "How could I have counted wrong?"

"Maybe you were distracted by Dr. Olivia," she smiled. "She's so nice and pretty."

"She really is, isn't she?" His gaze flickered to Olivia, who was showing another patient how to wear the glasses.

"You should go hold her hand. She would like that," Savannah whispered with a giggle.

"You think?" His eyes widened in consideration.

Savannah nodded excitedly. 

"I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the tip," Bryce winked as he continued on his way.

As the eclipse began and all the children were busy watching in amazement, Bryce slipped his hand into Olivia's as she watched over them. "You are incredible, absolutely incredible." 

"It's nothing." She shook her head, trying to dismiss him. 

"Liv, look at them! All of this, this is you! None of this would be possible without you."

"Anyone could have organized this."

"Maybe, but they didn't. You did!" He took her other hand in his, turning into her. "You made sure these kids got to experience something they wouldn't have without you. You made understanding the science relatable for them. This is something they're never going to forget. You gave them something special to remember."

Her face warmed under his compliments. Her gaze shifted toward the children engaged in viewing the once-in-a-lifetime experience, their parents beside them sharing in the moment. "They deserve this and so much more. They're so strong and so brave." Her eyes threatened to tear up, knowing that for some, they wouldn't have many other big days ahead of them.

"They're so lucky to have you, Liv, and so am I." He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "There's no one else I'd want to share this with."

"I feel the same about you," Olivia smiled, wrapping her arms around him. After a moment, the pair turned their attention to the heavens and the celestial event growing in front of them, their hands laced together between them.

A/N: I know I'm late with this. This week has been crazy busy. It's taken all week to finish this. It is not proofread or edited! So please forgive any mistakes.
