#I'm so glad you liked it!! hehehe

Hi! :D Ok, so where to start? Man, it really hurts to see Robin so disillusioned with it all. Of course they show no interest in the new neighbors and now their job feels more like a drag rather than the thing that brought them a sense of fulfillment. Though I smiled at them being so critical of the security over in Eclipse's sector haha, even if they're not giving it their all, they still are very much a professional at what they do and it shows.

The fact that they also become quickly endeared to Eclipse is very cute, and very understandable because he's so earnest, even if it exasperates them that he basically easily revealed his identity, the one thing that when they found out about their other coworkers sent them into a worse spiral. But also that earnestness is what managed to break at that tough front that was harming them as they struggled to keep it up. And he relates so easily to them to, and Robin can't help it that he looks right through them! Because he can see so much of his own hurt in them now. It makes sense that he wants to help fix it, even if he himself hasn't found how to fix the communication problem the three brothers have.

In a way I wonder if he did something similar to Robin, in the sense that he latched himself to Robin's hurt to try and make it better, just how Robin latched onto Eclipse's situation to feel the anger they want to feel for themselves but feel like they don't deserve to (because by now they've convinced themselves they weren't that important to Sun and Moon, assuming they had mistaken it as the animatronics caring more than they did). Not to say that they didn't feel for the other genuinely of course! Just that it's easier trying to solve someone else's problems than facing your own sometimes. I do like how Eclipse is the first one who doesn't let Robin convince themself that they hate them. No need to try to worsen the hurt, even if the statement is turned back on him immediately.

It's funny that something did blow up, though it wasn't an experiment XD (sidenote: I hope Robin does get to blow up stuff with Eclipse eventually haha) "I would've left me, too!" though? Ouch. I know Sun didn't have time to process that, but I hope he and Moon can address that later. Clearly a glimpse into one of their worst insecurities that they guard so closely. (other sidenote: Eclipse was like, haha, brother gonna get told off, and then realized oh crap brother might get actually threatened her kjhkjhkñh)

But also Sun is clearly not too capable to paying attention to that right now, so affected he even raised his voice to the person he only knew as his dear friend and landlord.

Though Eclipse saves the day once again with the groupchat of friendship! They're all obviously exhausted by everything, so having the chat as a tentative window where they don't need to be that exposed and just say what they want to say at their own pace is smart. After all, you can't take back words you said, but you can rewrite a message until you are satisfied with it.

And also, the funniest hing to me in this chapter is the agency. They really were like: Robin you might get fired if you don't improve. >:(

Robin: Aight, peace.

The agency: N-no wait, I didn't mean it, come back please :'(

But overall the hopeful ending was really relieving! You always manage that feeling of being able to breathe again after a tough one! Great writing as always!

Robin: Fuck the agency I don't care anymore Also Robin: Smh the security here is lacking, how dare? They are just kinda going through the motions for a while there, only focused on how they lost their friends and any pride in the job they do in one go. Truly, two birds, one stone.

Robin: I've had Eclipse for an hour and a half and if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself Eclipse: Oh we're friends now! Okay okay I will. I will try to not make a meme out of every part of your comment fghdjs Ties into your next paragraph as well - they recognize the pain of the other, and the similar coping styles, with Eclipse a couple years into pretending he's fine. They get angry on his behalf, partly because it's an infuriating position to be in, and partly because they can't get angry on their own behalf. And vice versa in Eclipse - he sees this person in a very similar situation to him, and they're devastated and it's obvious (to him). And he realizes that oh, right, he does have a reason to be sad. He's allowed to feel abandoned and to admit it sucks. Because he faked being okay so long he felt like he'd lost the right to say it did actually bother him.

Please know that if this were the main timeline I'd add many more conversations that address these issues, same as Robin's "I would've left me too". It goes unaddressed, but not unnoticed. To address it there needs to be a baseline of trust again though, so they need to focus on establishing that (That, and that the threat was on his account. Because while he obviously and knowingly relates, he didn't think that Robin might relate too, and do something about it. It's rare enough that anyone would stand up for him.)

No one's having a good time - but they all want this to work, they all miss each other, and they're finally admitting that to each other. They can't get it all out then, but they want to, because they care. It gives them a line of contact - a "flyway" to each other <3 (*Using a very, very loose definition of course)

HQ sure got used to having them try so hard to impress them! But they seek their validation elsewhere these days. They prefer having a family, in the end.

And aaahhh thank you!! The good thing had to get a lil longer to make it feel natural, but it was tons of fun to write! <3

Watched ‘Charades’ - The Vulcan/Human stuff wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be tbh, very enjoyable episode! Love T’Pring no notes for T’Pring you were so sweet the whole time. Her holding his hand and subtly giving him tips to make the ritual go smoothly...AAA!! Christine/Spock things sooo boring on their own but as angst for T’Pring? Very good. She wasn’t even gone a DAY before they made out. DUMP! HIS! ASS <3 The phone operator please-hold aliens were very cute to me, I liked them! Also Amanda & T’Pring’s dad should chill together, that’s good vibes all around. Also it introduced the concept of a sacred Vulcan familial roast sesh which is honestly so fucking funny and I adore it. Five minutes on the clock to devastate your future son-in-law, better make it count.

sorry for the spam while I was binge reading the mafia restaurant AU♡ do you plan on posting it on ao3 when u finish it?? I would love to bookmark it

yeah! that's the plan! :)

when i get through with these AUs I'm gonna clean them up and put them on ao3! i don't know when that will be since we've got a long way to go. but it will happen eventually.

Can I just say? I really appreciate you drawing Kakashi with hEDS. Thank you.

sfgkjdsfgsdf you can certainly interpret him as having hEDS in those pics! As I'm shamelessly hurling more of my disabilities at him, I will say I'm only officially diagnosed with A Connective Tissue Disorder That Is Likely Either JHS or hEDS But I (my doc) Can't Make The Official Diagnosis Because I'm Not An Expert, But Holy Fuck Your Joints Keep Falling Out, And You Also Have POTS And Several Other Internal Issues That Sure Read A lot Like hEDS, Hoo Boy. So that's what Kakashi has, too! <3

hi so i just finished reading your Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind duology and OMGGGGG reading that was such an amazing experience?? 

your handling of the unreliable narration was SOOOOO well done–it left the perfect amount of gaps in the narrative to keep me hungry for answers but included enough details to not be confusing or disorienting!! that stuff seems suuper hard to pull off but you did such a great job,, your handling of Steven's amnesia and the way his mind blocks certain things out is really awesome too because there are a couple scenes where it works REALLY well (like the part in the library where Cynthia says United — and it could EASILY be US or UK, and also the k—ing scene in the first work; that emotionally destroyed me as with most of the fic).

the headspace imagery also had such creative and interesting ideas,,, khonshu as the pigeon,,, the scrabble magnets,,, the symbolism of the changes happening over time to the phone and the computer,,, 

your depiction of all the characters feels on point—love how you were able to demonstrate a lotta familiarity steven and marc's speech mannerisms from the show—and i really love your characterization of jake,,, he's always struck me as a very tragic character n i feel like you got that across perfectly,,, plus, the "that'll be $2.50" line killed me

also i just really adore how you skillfully organized everyday events to lead to varying conflicts in the story and connect to plot points in the show (ex. steven's pigeon experience leading to him becoming vegan); you seem like an incredibly facile writer and i am excited to devour your other fics

*proceeds to not be normal about this*

I literally haven't watched voyager but your art is making me go insane over tuvok and tpel.. What If Your Other Half Was Lost In Space Further Than Anyone Has Gone Before.... what if someone who was as close as another distinct person could be was also as far away as anyone can be... im scuttling up walls

YESSSS you understand~!!!!! I'm wild about these two and forever mad their relationship isn't explored even a little in the show v_v but I'll take Tuvok's devotion and run with it. Vulcan relationships are so interesting to me and Tuvok being The Vulcan...the most Vulcan main Vulcan & having a wife and kids whom he cherishes deeply (despite the commonly held belief/portrayal of Vulcans as being so cold and detached) and whom he's been ripped away from through strange and unexpected circumstances....AAAGH. Tuvok is so interesting to me. He's like...the type of Vulcan that would be an antagonist in other star trek series. He's traditional and unapologetic and has stated explicitly a hatred of humans in the past. He even says he literally opposed Spock at one point. Yet here he's ostensibly a main character~!! And he's not a villain...he's a family man. I wonder endlessly about him. How does he deal with it? How does it feel to be so far away from everything you knew? He has children he thinks about constantly. Just because he's Vulcan, fully Vulcan and traditionally Vulcan, (he isn't The First Vulcan to do jack shit and he isn't half Romulan or Human or anything like that) doesn't mean he isn't a person. He is! And he has a family he loves - not in spite of being Vulcan but because he is Vulcan. He has no shame about it. If anything he takes pride in that aspect of himself because being a husband and a father is an intrinsic part of his identity. You can't communicate with your literal Other Half anymore after seventy~ years of constant sharing and communication...You're suddenly, painfully, cut off from such a big part of how you communicate with others and live your daily life. Can he sense, faintly, his wife and children? He certainly can't communicate with them anymore. Is the silence deafening? it must be so uniquely lonely. Interestingly lonely. Like. Interesting enough to have maybe an episode about it or for it to be mentioned or explored in literally ANY WA-

Here's a WIP I decided I was never gonna clean up or finish for your trouble~!! Tuvok/T'Pel....they really make my heart ache <3

I thought something bad had happened when I logged onto Tumblr today because I had 17 notifications and normally when that happens, it's not a good thing, but it turned out that that I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead, they were all likes and reblogs! And they were all from the same person!

So, I just thought that I would take a moment to say thank you too @fluffybatsstuff for putting a huge smile on my face this morning when I woke up! I've had a rough 24 hours, so this was a pleasant surprise! I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable by shouting you out, but thank you! I'm glad you seem to be liking my content! I'll have to check your Tumblr out, too!

Thank you ☺️

[shanace]

i love you Mami

okay i need to know ur thoughts when writing she used to be mine because I’m obsessed with that fic 🚶🏽‍♀️

Poet my love, I am so glad you enjoyed that fic, and I'm so thankful you asked about it because I had MANY thoughts while writing it -- they just might not be coherent 😅

When I said in the author's note that the fic was purely self-indulgent, oh boy did I mean it! My SAD got to me kind of early this year, and during a re-watch of BOB I wondered if maybe any of the boys had struggled with the colder months after living through Bastogne. I knew that I wanted to write a fic centered around that idea, but I didn't know for who.

Enter: Shifty Powers. Things are about to get extremely self-indulgent, so I'm sorry in advance lol

She Used To Be Mine is one of my favorite Broadway songs ever because omg?????? It's so good! And in the past two years or so, it's kind of become a personal anthem for me because I've been through a lot of stuff and completely changed the path that I'm on. Which is fine, even exciting at times, but it can also feel incredibly lonely, and it can be hard to accept that things are different now. Got the song stuck in my head one day, and suddenly I had a title for a fic that was only more of an idea.

I don't know when or how I decided to use Shifty for the fic. I don't know if I've really talked about it on here or not, but I literally used to be so ashamed of my accent and spent so long trying to get rid of it. Then when I joined the BOB fandom and saw so many people talking about liking the way that Shifty talks, it made me so much more comfortable with having one. Also took me forever to realize he even had one since I couldn't hear it because he just sounds like everyone around here lmao And in a weird, round about sort of way, that acceptance made me more confident as a writer, because now I don't really care if that accent comes through in my writing. Writing about Appalachia is fun, and I think making the fic about Shifty allowed me some freedom to explore more of that acceptance :)

Also I just think Shifty needs more content, and if I have to provide that content myself, then by God I will do it
