ahhhh I forgot to ask in the previous message but I'm genuinely curious how sae would react if he found out later on that rin and reader got together, if it would cause more tension between the dude bros or naur hahaha

npnp I love talking about all the lil backstories of my fics haha because a lot of it goes unsaid but it’s kinda semi hinted in the fic itself.

tbh minimal tension? in the fic, sae is self aware that their sibling relationship isn’t the greatest, rin acknowledges that and wants things back to normal, reader explains that sae (in his own lil world) is trying to show that he still cares. the only tension would just be them making up since both are bad at being vulnerable.

sae would probably react like this to the reader next time they catch up with “oh you guys are dating?” and then 👍🏻… not like he anticipated it happening but he wouldn’t be surprised.

of course the annual Itoshi family dinner will now get a bit … interesting. somehow it gets even more awkward now the brothers are attempting to talk over dinner while in the past they just kinda eat together in silence haha. poor reader will meet the family and get to witness the brothers painfully socialize with each other 🥲 it’s all in good spirit tho!!

Genuinely phenomenal characterisation for the recent Rin writing. You have his character down to a T. I absolutely love the little mannerisms and body language you portray in your writing. It gives the scene so much more flavour, making it easy for immersion and it makes the characters feel all the more human. Also it kinda also makes sense how he'd fall for a person older than him lol. The way Rin struggles with expressing himself was portrayed so exceedingly well I'm thoroughly impressed. Perhaps if you ever feel up for it, a continuation to it would be so lovely but of course, if you don't feel like it needs one then by all means! Genuinely enjoyed reading your writing! Will be looking forward to future ones, keep it up you're doing amazing <33

omg wait hihi your message is so sweet and just know that i'll be thinking about this 'till the day i die, okay? ;;

i was so unsure abt my recent fic just because i kinda took a two month writing hiatus to prevent further burnout and then i came back with a long-ass rin fic because for whatever reason he's the easiest for me to write out of all the bllk characters thus far (and weirdly enough nagi is the second easiest)?

im so happy that you think i got his character down :')) i think there's def more improvement along the way but in a way rin reminds me of my younger self (like a lot...). and omg im also trying to get better at describing characters' internal thoughts through subtle actions.... im glad that you were able to sense that thru that fic and felt super immerse!! :) <3

and tbh i think an older partner for rin generally fits his character?? or just a partner who is extremely patient/understanding enough to guide him through all the confusing parts of his untapped psyche haha

i definitely intended that fic to just be a one shot and i am working on another rin milestone next (hint: its the one abt the big apple :3c ) BUT yeah our barista!reader/undergrad!rin have a special place in my heart... an epilogue for them will be on the backburner for now but i'll def revisit them whenever time comes hehe :3

no one asked for this but since you've brought it up... i think characters like rin/bachira/shidou/oliver would prefer an s/o who's older (i think we all kinda know why haha) and of course you have characters like sae/barou/kunigami paired with someone who's the oldest sibling in their fam. i think it just works like that?? do you see what i mean or am i talking up a wall...

ANYWAYS!! thank you so much for your lovely message and i hope you have a wonderful week :)) imprinting this whole message in my BRAIN!!
