#(so sorry this took so long I haven't checked this blog in a bit rip)

Hi! Excuse me for dropping into your inbox so suddenly. This is a little bit awkward for me because we haven't talked for so long. 😅 Just popping in to check if you are okay. Someone told me you deleted your side-blog which made me a little bit worried. Your blog was one of my favourite wmmap blogs and I loved hearing your ramblings about your favourite manhwas or when you were ruthlessly ripping apart another trashy isekai romance. I enjoyed reading your comments and detailed tags under my posts. Your ideas, worldbuilding and characterizations were exquisite. I was amazed how often our opinions coincided and how well our ideas were complimenting each other. Honestly I felt like you were understanding me like no other on a creative level. I enjoyed reading your posts even about books that I have never read just because I loved seeing how passionate you were. And I am saddened to see your blog now gone, but I understand that not every interest can stay forever and hopefully you have found something else that is worth burning for. I wish you well in the future. May you be always happy and healthy 💖💖💖

Oh no no don't be sorry about coming into my inbox, you are always welcome here!

I'm kinda... not okay? Okay but not okay? It's been rough, and my creative side of things in particular took a hit. I'm writing again now (hooray!) but it's been a tumultuous process and even now I'm fighting the urge to set the entire WIP on fire.

As for deleting my blog... I don't know how to put it, I just. I still loved what I created, what we created together, it's just that somehow I felt the need to have only one blog, and... Only after deleting the blog did I belatedly realized I probably should've backed up my stuff or reblogged them to my main first, but I rationalized that mistake away by convincing myself it couldn't have been such a big loss to the manhwa community. I was feeling... small. A falling out with a friend I gained from the manhwa side of things certainly did not help with that feeling.

Honestly you saying my posts and commentary and rants had any worth at all is... making me tear up. I wasn't... I didn't expect that to be the case. I didn't expect my stuff would be held in such regard. Thank you. Thank you so much for your kind words. And thank you for reaching out to me.

I still follow some manhwa passively, and if passion strikes me in the right direction I undoubtedly will start talking about it again, but this time on my main blog! You're always welcome to drop something on my lap for me to tear to shreds, lol, it's therapeutic XD

So yeah. My inbox and DMs are always open for you! Thank you for being my manhwa critic bestie <3

Hello!! I just wanted to say that I read your Undertale fic "the last mage" last night, and I absolutely loved it!!!

I was a bit skeptical at first but it absolutely pulled me in as I read more, I love how you wrote Iris & the other characters, and the plot was pretty clever and a very interesting idea! And it was very fun to make the choices and find the dialogue Easter eggs

I got the starshine ending on my first go, and I'll admit I haven't checked out the other routes, but damn that ending was everything I had hoped for and more!! It made me so happy that everyone got a happy ending (well, except Asgore. Rip) and I loved the relationship with Sans and how it progressed so so much.

It has absolutely become one of my favourite fics ever, and I am going to treasure it forever. So, thank you so much for writing such an amazing fic.

And a side note, the cover art was indeed absolutely gorgeous! And it helped having an image of iris in my head I read. You've a very talented friend and it's so great you've commissioned them to draw such a stunning piece.

P.s I may have accidentally sent an ask before this by accident, as I wasn't finished typing. I don't think ive even got past "hello!!" So uh woops? I'm sorry, and I would very much appreciate it if you ignore that & delete it (especially since it may have turned off anon, this is a alt blog anyway, but I'm especially shy 😅)

Oh my gosh thank you so much for saying so!! I very sincerely enjoyed writing it even though I knew it wouldn't be everyone's first choice of something to read, so I'm very pleased you gave it a chance! Iris is still one of my favorite reader characters I've ever written and I had such a blast writing the Undertale cast. Starshine is my personal favorite ending and even though it's kind of strange that Undertale in general has a Thing™️ about not reading the other routes, it's kind of unique to the fandom and a precious sort of meta-trust to just leave the other routes as they are despite the fact that we know all the characters are fictional. I wrote the thing and I still only re-read starshine when I read it! I'm so so pleased that you took such a liking to my fic and it's such an honor and so lovely to hear that it's one of your favorites, you have no idea how encouraging that is and how long that sticks with a writer, no matter how big or how small their following, we come back to comments like these on good days and bad ones and just remember that somewhere out there there's someone who took a chance on a fic they were skeptical of and now it's one of their favorites and a treasured memory and if that's not motivation to keep writing - what is? I'll definitely pass on your comments about the cover too!! I'm lucky to have such a talented friend in the Undertale artist community haha she's just so good! And you're right, having that image of Iris definitely helps when having a named reader since it's a little out of the ordinary for a second-person perspective story! P.S. No problem haha you're all good - sometimes people "test" my mailboxes by dropping a greeting or something first to see if it works and then leave a longer ask, so I answered it right away, but I deleted it since you requested me to! 💗

“I’m living a life. Not my best one.”

•》They’d been so close to being executed. He… still couldn’t believe it. Why had Mikan done it…? Had she truly been this way the whole time…? What had she remembered? It hurt his head to think of it.

For whatever reason, it’d been days and nothing had happened. Usually, Monomi would tell them she’d gained access to a new island, but as of right now, they hadn’t heard from her. Maybe she’d finally died. Good- after all, she was just Monokuma’s ally. Probably.

Everyone seemed so… drained. Hajime included. But the longer he stayed by himself, the closer he felt he was getting to losing his mind. And honestly… he was worried about everyone. In particular Chiaki.

He hadn’t seen her at all recently. Was she sick…? He finally decided to just try her cabin- even when he knocked, she didn’t answer. He’d tried the knob, surprised to see it open- and there she was, sitting in her gaming chair thing with some game system and headphones…

He’d gotten a bit too emotional… way too emotional. How could she stay in here with the door unlocked?! He could have been breaking in to kill her and she wouldn’t have even noticed… why would she be so careless?!

He hadn’t expected her to respond to his questions with that. Oh… his heart suddenly felt deflated. “Nanami…” He sighed, sitting next to her and staring at his hands. The words were just… gone. He wasn’t used to talking so much, honestly, but here, he was practically attempting to become the Ultimate Orator and failing. “Are you alright? Do you… want to talk about it?”
