#Happy Birthday Naff!

[piixelpaint]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @naffeclipse​!!! Happy Birthday to you, one of our very favourite writers in this wholesome fandom!! ☀️🌙

You have gathered hundreds of people around your exciting stories, making us hold our breath each time we read a new chapter you post. You inspire each of us to create our own stories, drawings, animations, to bring something of our own to this fandom. And you helped us find new mutual friends within it, with whom we may sometimes chat for hours on end. You yourself have become one of said mutual friends and it is always such a pleasure to write to you!

You are simply fantastic and we all sincerely wish you the best Birthday that one could have, knowing that you bring so much joy and inspiration to others!

// All credits and more under the cut! Please, do take a look! :) //

Unfortunately, we could not invite all the people who appreciate your writings to participate in this collaboration, as much as we wanted to. This was our first time organizing something like this, and we needed to limit the number of people. But, Naff, I think you yourself know very well that there are hundreds of people in this fandom who sincerely love you and your work and that this art piece would be much bigger if all of them took part in it :)  And on that note, a huge thank you to everyone who agreed to participate! Regardless of busyness and time zone differences, we all worked together and were able to finish this wonderful art piece!

Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day! ♥ —Naff

C'mere you

[naffeclipse]

Hey Naff!

What kind of makes Orca Eclipse stand out for me is the way he speaks. 'Happy day' is a very interesting phrase that you don't really see/hear anymore and it caught my attention.

What made you chose that particular way of speaking for him? I'm enjoying the story so far! <3

Heya, babe!

I was inspired by Eclipse in Ruin saying "Happy Birthday!" and I wanted the first thing he said to Y/N to be something along those lines, so I changed it up to Happy Day. I also really wanted Eclipse to have this unusual vibe to him, because although he's speaking English, I want him to sound off for a human, a little odd and unfamiliar but still tense and intimidating.

Thank you so much! I'm excited to continue it soon!
