ok i can be honest… so think pink isn’t bad at all it’s just a little clunky. mc comes across as a pick-me, or self-centered. she’s rude to seemingly everyone for reasons we don’t know. it’s a little bit unrealistic because it’s hard to tell what jeongin and mc are fighting about? you probably could have made it flow more naturally than it is. but i don’t think it’s bad at all and it’s a fun idea too. maybe you need more revision? just read over your own work a few times to make sure it doesn’t sound awkward. build somewhat of a narrative and structure for mc. what does she like, what doesn’t she, etc. make her feel like a real solid identity. then i think it will be perfect!

anon I just wanna say THANK YOUUUUU for actually giving me like good constructive criticism 🙏🏼 I’ve had some of my writer friends revise my stuff but I’ve never had a reader actually tell me their thoughts like this so the only critiques I’ve had are from writers who critique from a writers perspective and not from a reader perspective……. if that even makes sense lmfao

I totally understand what you mean by it feeling clunky. I actually started this fic last year and was gonna post it last halloween but didn’t finish it so then when I went to actually finish it for this year I had like all of the main plot points written and had to kinda fill everything in? which in hindsight I feel like I should’ve scrapped and just started over to make it feel a lot more coherent and just flow better

I also wrote the majority of it in like 3 days (which I will usually work on a fic for like a week minimum even if it’s short bc I just need to sit with what I’ve written before revising/posting) and posted bc I already said I was gonna post it for Halloween and didn’t wanna go back on my promise 😭 so I def def get that it feels kinda unstructured

in terms of providing more background on mc or other characters is that what you guys like reading? because I also enjoy getting background but am always nervous that I’m droning on for too long and that people will wanna get into the real meat of the story sooner yk? and ik a lot of the fics that perform really well are ones that kinda dive right into stuff. BUT if that’s smth you feel like would be beneficial especially to fics that are this kinda vibe (which is like most of my fics lol) then I will definitely do that, I just don’t wanna feel like I’m adding stuff that’s unnecessary and that people might skip over, yk? so like… is more in depth explanation of a character or relationship or whatever what people want? bc I am happy to deliver again I just don’t wanna feel like I’m babbling on for too long

all of that being said lol think pink def isn’t a fic that I’m particularly proud of so I super super duper appreciate you letting me know your thoughts anon, I cannot stress how much it means to me that you read my work and saw my rb asking for feedback and actually took the time to send me this 🙏🏼 as a writer it means a lot when people actually engage with me whether it’s helpful asks like this or just saying hi or WHATEVER, I love interacting and chatting w y’all regardless and love your feedback 😭 but yea thank youuu anon I’m so glad you shared your thoughts and I will def keep them in mind and apply them as I’m working on my next fic (which is not for skz lol sorry) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💗💗💗💗

more asks like this please!!! pls engage w your writers when they ask for feedback!!!

As person who writes for levi, what do you think about the difference between mappa's levi and wit's levi?

HIIIIIIIIIIIIII BB **HUG** I LOVE YOUUUUU 💞Thanks so much for asking!!

Okay okay my thoughts are kinda complicated on this and I’m still figuring out how I feel myself but allow me to share (aka ramble my inner thoughts):

So, like, I love Levi in any way shape or form! Like, seriously, just give me those bangs and those eyes and I am there for it lol.

I have been in love with WIT Levi since I was 14, so my love for him will never die! (No matter the studio!)

Also, with his MAPPA debut last week and all the studio art I’ve seen, I think he remains looking fantastic!

I will say, I was honestly afraid of the studio switch when I saw Levi in the S4 trailer. However, he also had his moments with WIT (god forbid we forget).

// // //

I see a lot of people saying like “Finally! The Levi we deserve! How did we even put up with WIT Levi?”

While I’m totally happy for ‘em that they get the version of Levi they’ve been waiting for, this is not how I feel at all. I still love Levi just as much as I ever did and always will, regardless of season, studio, etc.

Really, even season 1 Levi still makes my heart go beep-boop!!

// // //

Throughout my whole life, I realized that - compared to the tastes of my peers - I have always liked guys on the thinner side. While girls in my class talked about six-packs and ass, I was silently raising my hand: “okay anyone else like collarbones around here?” ><

From what I’ve heard, body shaming is happening from both sides. I’ve heard that he was being fat-shamed on tiktok. I’ve seen Levi called skinny trash on here. Neither is okay.

I know I’m a total softie - but it honestly makes me feel kinda bummed? Expressing your appreciation is no problem! Degrading others’ isn’t.

Thicc Levi is great. Thin Levi is great. There is never any need to body shame!

So yeah! In conclusion, I love Levi the way I always have and always will! I will never shame any Levi <3 HE IS A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN AND I ALWAYS APPRECIATE.

Thanks for the ask, Bellbee!! All of my love 💞

Okay AAAAAHHHHHHHH

I just caught up and finshed it and I'm so emotional.

Omg.

Like I'm sitting here and still crying.

I just ! I already spoke alot abt the story and I just wanna say something haha

Thank you.

Thank you so so much for writing this story, I've been having some really not so good times recently and this truly became my comfort fic and I havent had one in so so long !

It is just so beautifully written, and while yes you can appreciate that it is so so well written and presented it also reminds of alot of things.

That speaking about your emotion it's not bad, you have to be able to learn to trust yourself and to be your own best friend. we all have this amazing ability to give out so much love and we need to be able to use it to love ourselves and the people closest to our hearts the most you know.

I really really just love and adore each and every single character! I cried ! Every single chapter! Your way with words 👌👌👌

It's - you know what it is ?

Its the whispers of a love never forgotten.

That's what kept making me cry bc they were lovers before and they continued to love but it was different you know?

So different but so familiar too. The love that they share.

Wow.

Just so amazing.

Like yes I'm going to talk about this forever but jk came back for her

He loved her. He felt incomplete without her.

That is freaking beautiful.

It's so sad that he went so long thinking that you know she didnt want him, when she did. On the other side of the world, she was holding into this little bundle of love reserved for him.

Love shouldn't hurt you know ? And it did for them for a while, but bc of how bright and like MAN I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

The fact that they accept the hurt and the pain and thw wrongs of the past and are taking in together as a pair as a couple as lovers. That is what is so beautiful. That is what makes them endgame.

I think I'm actually gonna stfu bc I make no sense but YOUUUUU

Are amazing !

So good !

So talented!

I hope that you always find a reason to be happy everyday and make sure to eat well and stay hydrated 🤍💕🤍💕🤍💕🤍

Hi!! You are so wonderful, truly. I read your feedback about each chapter and I’m truly appreciative of you noting every single thing you liked. I live for details so when you note the ones you enjoyed, it always makes my heart full. So thank you 😊

I’m also glad you consider this your comfort fic. I read to relieve stress and to feel better; I write for the same reasons so to know that this story gave you joy, especially during the times when it was hard for you, that’s wonderful and I’m glad I got to give you a virtual hug through the story and this little family. And you’re right, emotions are beautiful and we have to trust ourselves. I’m a highly emotional individual and it took a while for me to learn that it’s a strength, too, regardless of how I choose to express it. And our capacity to love makes us human. It’s beautiful and such a source of light. I’m so happy you picked those up.

I’ll never tire of the kind words you speak about me and my writing and the stories I put out. I’ll always be grateful. Thank you for the love towards something I put a lot of myself in. Please stay safe and take care of yourself always. Sending you all the love 🥰🥰

When is Enough Enough? [Epilog]

And here’s the very fluffy epilog to this story!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / Epilog

a03 link to story

Chapter one of the Sequel: First Comes Love/ a03 link to First Comes Love

Remus’s eyes fluttered open as morning sunlight streamed in through the window. He groaned sleepily, turning on his side to find Logan sitting up beside him in bed, pulling the covers off of him. Evidently, the alarm had been going off, not that Remus had heard it. He slept like a rock most of the time, especially lately. Having someone he loved to the moon and back in bed with him every night made Remus feel more at ease than he had in years. Well, he might've been sleeping better because of a different reason, too.

“Good morning, love,” Logan said when he noticed that Remus’s eyes were open, only to become engulfed in an octopus-like grip and pulled back under the covers. “Remus! We don’t have time for this!”

“Come on, you dork. You’re warm and comfy and it’s too early!” Remus huffed, tightening his embrace slightly and burying his face in the crook of Logan’s neck. His boyfriend continued to struggle, desperate to escape his crushing embrace but to no avail.

“Remus, we promised everyone we’d meet for breakfast at nine and it’s already 8:30. We’re running late as it is.”

“Well then we’ll be fashionably late,” Remus suggested, pressing a kiss to the back of Logan’s neck.

“Your idea of “fashionably late” is being hours tardy.”

“And what about it?” Logan sighed.

“Remus.”

“Yes, my wonderful, sexy, insanely smart nerd?”

“Flattery will get you nowhere, I’m afraid,” Logan said, though his tone betrayed the fact that flattery was in fact getting him somewhere.

“Just a couple more minutes. Then I promise we can go. Please? I love youuuuu.” Logan sighed before going limp in Remus’s embrace and sighing.

“Fine, but only a few minutes.” Remus grinned, holding his boyfriend close.

It had been three months since the accident. Remus had a wonderful recovery, his wound now a distinctive disfiguration on his left side that Remus called his, “Battle-scar.” That brightened Logan’s spirits, how Remus was able to bring out humor in almost any circumstance, even one as bleak as that. the scar was a reminder of all that he could’ve lost, but in the end, Remus was still by his side.

“You didn’t have any dreams last night, did you?” Remus asked, tracing circles on Logan’s arm absentmindedly, “I didn’t hear you get up last night.” Logan shook his head.

“No, I slept just fine. I appreciate you checking in, though. It’s…nice.” Remus grinned, pressing a sloppy kiss to Logan’s lips. His boyfriend pulled away grimacing slightly.

“Please brush your teeth before we go. Your morning breath is atrocious.”

“Ugh, fine.”

Prior to Remus’s accident, Logan had never been troubled by nightmares. He had them on occasion as most people do, but it was never hard to see how illogical they were. Fictional worlds created in the mind had no real-world impact, no matter what they were depicting.

But his sentiments on such things changed when he woke up believing Remus to be dead. At first, he was under the impression that having that nightmare the first night that Remus was in the hospital was going to be a one-time-thing. Except soon he was plagued by the dream almost every night to a point in which he couldn’t avoid the topic with his boyfriend, especially not when he woke up gasping his name.

It didn’t surprise Logan in the least bit that Remus was supportive and always did his best to make sure he was okay in the wake of one of his dreams, that wasn’t something he doubted. He’d wanted to avoid bringing it up more so because he didn’t want to upset Remus and, in all honesty, he was embarrassed to be dealing with such a trifling issue as nightmares.

But in the end, telling Remus the truth had yielded the best results. Waking trembling and frightened in the middle of the night he was always met with a warm embrace and a sentiment that he never grew tired of being reminded of: “I’m here, Dragonfly. I’m right here.” With time, he was needing less and less of a reminder that Remus was indeed alright, but his boyfriend was keen to check on him regardless.

After several minutes of lying together in bed Logan managed to tear free from Remus’s grip and make it to his feet.

“Get dressed, Remus, we’re leaving soon!” He warned, hastily opening the dresser drawer and taking some clothes out before getting dressed. And if Logan just so happened to be dragged into a heated kiss (after Remus had brushed his teeth, thank god) and they were even later than before, then so be it. Remus could be incredibly hard to say no to, after all.

The pair arrived at the dinner seeing Janus, Patton, Roman and Virgil sitting in a booth together.

“Hiya Logan! Hi Remus!” Patton chirped happily, grinning, ever the morning-person.

“Late as usual,” Janus remarked dryly, “I’m surprised at you, Logan. You used to be so punctual.”

“Be nice, dearest,” Patton chided at his boyfriend, though there was no bite to the remark.

“He’s clearly living with a terrible influence,” Virgil remarked sarcastically as the couple joined their friends at the booth. Their friends. That was still something Logan was getting used to, he and Remus spending time together with the rest of them. For so long he had been avoiding telling anyone that Remus was his boyfriend and now the six of them were hanging out fairly regularly.

Remus hadn’t exactly been welcomed into the group with open-arms. He and Janus had sort of been acquaintances and everyone had known Remus before, but it was a different thing entirely spending time together. But when everyone saw how much Logan was head-over-heels for Remus, it would be impossible for any of them to argue against the relationship, considering how happy they clearly made one another. But by this point, Logan could say with confidence that Remus was becoming a friend to all of them and his relationship with Roman had been improving greatly.

“Whatever, emo nightmare. Roman’s just as bad of an influence, I’m sure.” Virgil rolled his eyes.

“I am not!” Roman declared as though the entirety of his honor had just been insulted, far too loudly considering they were inside of a restaurant.

“Roman’s never tried to get me to break into a laboratory because, and I quote, ‘It’ll be in the name of science, Logan,’.” Remus gasped loudly, swiveling to turn to his boyfriend was sat beside him.

“You told him, Dragonfly? My trust has been betrayed!”

“In my defense, I found it very humorous.”

“You were damn near convinced. I’ll convince you to do something risky yet. As the saying goes, be gay, do crimes. You’ve already got that first part down.”

“Before this becomes a lengthy argument,” Patton interjected, “Why don’t we order breakfast?”

The six friends placed their orders, talking and laughing loudly, so much so that the absence of people sitting at the booths nearest too them couldn’t have been a coincidence.

Logan relished in this time with his loved ones. While he was starting to get used to it, being open with his relationship so casually was something he hadn’t realized he’d been so severely missing out on. Perhaps Remus stealing a piece of his sausages off his plate was one of the off-sides to such things, considering “Remus, you have sausage on your plate! Why do you have to take mine?!” This prompted a lewd comment from Remus that made Logan’s face turn a shade or two redder and Virgil to cackle as though the remark was anywhere close to humorous.

The rest of the time together was enjoyable, despite a brief argument breaking out between Roman and Remus about which of them could drink the most of the creamers set out on the table meant for coffee. Unsurprisingly, Remus won without trouble, leaving Roman gagging and Remus grinning smugly. Really, Logan wasn’t sure what his friend had been thinking, he’d seen his boyfriend drink those things for fun. At the very least, it counted as some kind of sibling-bonding he supposed.

While parting ways meant that he and his friends would be separated, Logan couldn’t say that he wasn’t going to enjoy a nice day at home with his boyfriend most definitely filled with Murder Documentaries and lazy make-out-sessions.

Remus smiled as Logan opened the door and they came inside. By now all of Remus’s things had been moved in (He has insisted that the large statue of male gentiles he owned not be brought into their shared living space, thank you very much). Remus’s style was much more colorful and loud than Logan’s minimalistic and neutral one, so their items together in one apartment certainly clashed a bit. Such a contrast might’ve bothered Logan in any other situation, but having Remus living with him was something that encouraged him to let go of any of that. He was just so happy to have him with him, he could look past a neon-green recliner.

Remus walked up to the couch before promptly collapsing onto it as though all of the bones in his body had suddenly turned to jelly. Logan laughed, sitting daintily next to him. He wasn’t surprised when he was scooped up by his boyfriend and placed in his lap, instead accepting his new placement and pressing a kiss to Remus’s cheek.

“You know, Roman invited us to stay at his and Virgil’s place at Christmas time. Can you believe that?”

“Hardly, considering how far away the Christmas season is. Why would he bring it up now?” Remus shook his head.

“That’s not the point, Dragonfly. He wants me and you to be with him during the holidays. Christmas is a holiday he practically worships, it’s always been so important to him.”

“Ah, I think I see,” Logan said, “Christmas is important to him, and you being invited to take a part in that is surprising?” Remus clicked his tongue.

“It’s more than surprising, it’s fucking shocking. I mean…I know things ‘ve been better lately, like, a lot better. But that’s huge.” Logan found himself lying against Remus’s chest as his boyfriend reclined against the couch, thinking faintly about how not too long ago he’d detested the idea of that amount of physical contact. So much had changed with Remus and he couldn’t say he didn’t adore most of it. For most of his life, emotions had been so daunting and difficult to approach. But with Remus, it all came so much easier. Here was someone who so boldly expressed his thoughts and feelings. While it could get him into some trouble if not careful, Logan admired that about his lover, his brashness, his braveness. He wanted to believe he’d become braver by Remus’s side.

“It’s because he’s your brother and he loves you, dear,” Logan said, “It’s clear that both of you are far better off together than you had been separate. You’re important to each other, of course Roman wants you over for Christmas. The fact that he wants me to participate should be all the more shocking. I mean, I’ll certainly critique his Christmas-Tree-decorating, and there’s no way he’ll be able to drag me to carol. I’d much sooner perish.” Remus laughed at that, kissing Logan.

“Oh, so I should tell him I’ve heard you singing in the shower on more than one occasion, then?”

“Remus Demetris Knightly if you even consider doing such a thing, you will face consequences most severe.” “Oooh, most severe. Do tell, do tell.” Logan glared at his boyfriend for a moment, acting as though he was thinking of the most devious punishment he could conjure before suddenly digging his fingers into Remus’s side and tickling him. He would've considered such an action entirely childish before, and maybe it was, but Remus couldn't help but bring out the silliness in Logan and he was long past fighting it.

“AHA – LoGAn you fiend!” Remus shrieked through peels of laughter before throwing himself off of the couch like a sake of potatoes in an effort to avoid the onslaught of tickling. Logan grinned almost as mischievously as Remus, lowering to the floor and hovering over Remus.

The positioning couldn’t help but make the couple think of that time in Roman’s backyard.

“You know, I did get used to you on top of me,” Remus said smirking, reminiscing on what he’d said all that time ago. Logan laughed lightly, pinning Remus into the carpet by the shoulders. “I love you, Dragonfly,” Remus said, happiness washing over his words.

“And I you, love of mine,” Logan said before connecting their lips in a passionate embrace.

Remus was certainly nothing Logan had been expecting in a potential partner. He was loud, he was brash, he could be crude and childish. But more than that, he loved more intensely than anyone Logan had ever known. He charmed him with his strange sense of humor, invoked audaciousness in Logan that he hadn’t even known he possessed.

Almost losing him only further expressed to him just how much Remus meant to him. Logan hadn’t been one to believe in true-love, but despite everything logic told him, Remus was the closest thing to a soulmate that Logan had ever allowed himself to believe in. Logan could never imagine a world where he was apart from Remus. Even now he was certain that he was the one that Logan wanted to be with for the rest of his life.

He wasn’t what Logan was expecting, but to date, Remus was the best surprise of Logan’s life.

anon said: Your Monoma scenario was really good!If we’re being honest, though, Monoma would literally start foaming at the mouth if he saw anyone from 1-A making physical contact with his s/o, ESPECIALLY Bakugou. They would have to call animal control because there would be a rabid Monoma in the dorms lol

anon said: Did the local dumbass anon ever cut their bangs? Do you know?

....I dont know, but I just asked her rn >:)

this paragraph is dedicated to those surrounding to the meltdown mess that occurred yesterday. to each and every one of you who sent me kind words via my askbox or directly contacting me, thank you. I really want to move past this because I feel by holding on it will make me feel less inclined to write because of my guilt. of course, I do not expect you to forgive me, or trust me in my story of how it went down, because at the end of the day it was my mistake for trusting in someone to write with pure intentions when I didn’t know if she could. im trying to continue on with my best foot forward and im grateful for those of you who trusted in me. I swear I will never push myself again, and that I will instead take my time in order to publish my original work and only my original work and not take anything that comes from a “friend”. know that I love you all, and I dont know how to take it easy so my break lasted a whooping 10 hours, and my blog won’t discontinue until im done with bnha or...I get into medschool which is still 3 years away, I am taking care of myself, im staying hydrated, im trying not to put myself down anymore, I will keep going, & will forever continue to be more careful with what I post. also, no one was really coming for me, so don’t worry if you thought so lol. (to you 9 anons who expressed their kind thoughts to me, thank you. to big dick kiri anon thank you. to @bqkubabey, @flayvus, & @ultimate-shit-poster thank you so so much you really helped me not drown myself in my own guilt.)

Hi! This isn’t really an ask but more of a confession. (A long one at that) I have been reading your fanfic Unfinished Letters since I was a teen. (A practical fetus. I know XD) I recall coming home from school giddy and checking for any updates. Even if there wasn’t, I would click back from chapter 1 to read up to the latest update. As a teen, I suffered the crippling ailment of zeroing in on the romance of my favorite character. Plot be damned. I just wanted the kiss. The confession!! Now that I’m a bit older I‘m quite more appreciative of writing and all that it entails. And that’s made me love your fic even more. All the literature references? All for it. Hana? Love her and her character. I’m especially more sympathetic towards her now that I’m older. The joy of teaching a child is something I can’t replicate anywhere else. I still come back to your fic every few months especially when I have a Piccolo itch. An itch that manifested way back in grade school when I watched Dragon Ball and Dragon ball z on Tv. Piccolo is a character I always seem to come back to regardless of the years that have passed. He’s just that neat! (and hot too. Lol) The same can be said with your fic. I wanted to get this off my chest from a fan who’s been reading for awhile. I just figured out how to get back on my tumblr accountand find you. (Are there other platforms your on ?) I just hope you’ve been doing well! I just apologize for rambling on so much. I hope this gets in your inbox safely. I’m far too familiar with how asks can get lost In my inbox

-sincerely

oh my goodness gracious... i'm so at a loss for how to respond to this. thank you!! ;~; i'm so humbled, so appreciative that you have not only been reading my fic for so long, but that it has meant that much to you and that you reached out to let me know. i'm really choked up! this is literally every fic writer's dream. :')

i'm sorry it took so long for me to see this. u_u i unfortunately don't check this blog very often (this blog had many of its posts taken down when tumblr did their hole "nsfw ban" thing years back). and i'm also just plain ol' sorry that i haven't been updating the fic! i still think of it often, though, and i have part of the next chapter written, it's just a matter of motivation and time (those pesky things lol)

my main blog is @gatsbygal if you'd like to follow me or message me there! :D i try to pop in there every couple days to add things to my queue. if you happen to like the old adult swim cartoon show metalocalypse, i'm also @lampmeeting, which is where i've been spending a lot of my time ever since covid hit. i'm also on instagram also under the name gatsbygal if you're an instagram person haha :)

thank you again for this message, truly, from the bottom of my heart. T~T it's been so long that i've honestly figured no one was probably reading it or caring about it anymore, and reading this really filled my heart up. thank you thank you thank youuuuu!

#i think i'm gonna make this the pinned post for this blog #so i can find it whenever i want #because i honestly think this is the sweetest most kindest message i've ever gotten about my writing #no 'thank you' could ever be big enough #unfinished letters

Spyro: Reignited review parte 6~

And we continue~~ It's been a few days since, buuuuut Alpine Ridge! Take 2 xD Ayyy I got really lucky and in the end I Did in fact manage to get the gem from that last firework! Nice! No need to go back there anymore to struggle! Good stuff good stuff! But I did still need to go back to the level itself because I was missing some gems. And since it had been a few days of me playing last, I did take a bit of a breather and a step back to do other stuff, I had to get a hold of the controls again but this time it was faster and I had some more confidence I was missing some few gems at the beginning of the level, but after a few failed jumps to that somewhat far away platform with two fighting wizards, I was able to make my way over there, grab the gems, trot a little further on and woop, 100%, level completed~ So other than having to grasp the controls again and a couple jumps failing for the smallest missing of making it to that other area, it wasn't too bad Now, we finish Magic Crafters! Here we are, once again. This time we're releasing one of my faves, Zantor~~ Finally xD As well as getting a little lost because it's been a while, but the map is helpful. But more than that, it's my first experience with the Super Charge. Oooooh I'm nervous, big time oh boy how's this gonna go. But thanks to a youtube commenter whom I pretty much owe so so many lives to I'd assume, who pointed out that you can use the arrow keys to turn with some more control. That comment. Was so useful. Like I didn't even really try much with the Super Charge before I had read that comment, just a teeny tiny bit I think, but it was extremely eye opening. Like, maybe it's a little dumb, but I did literally have a whole "Wow, what? Those work here too?". So either like, the arrows don't do much in Pokemon Sword or I was having a big 'head empty' moment. But it was a good tip none the less! Ay, so there's another egg thief, whom I Think I caught before reading the mobility comment, and it was so stiff to try and turn and I wonder if it'd have been easier with the arrows. But I can say that the PTSD from the Alpine Ridge egg thief was very present. I don't want to run off ledges unintended! But luckily we caught 'em before then. Which is good. Also figured out that there was a semi-hidden secret platform you have to glide onto from around that area and I Think I did it independently with the help of the map, so that was a proud moment~ Now, back to stuff though. Navigating the level with the constant fear of 'oh shoot a legde' & 'oh no, water' was a bit nerve wrecking, but we managed. Kinda did good too as we didn't die during the wholety of it. Traveled around some more, a little lost as to where to go until I'd find some gems again, and then the hidden area I was like 'ok, so is that a hidden spot or can you get there from the front?' I checked the front first, of course xD Tracked my way carefully back so I knew I wouldn't be taking unnecessary risks in going there through some 'harder way', but nope, it was the only way of going there so careful back-back tracking and success in finding the key within, and with some help from Sparx again, made the way to the chest. And I think with that the level was 100%'ed, or then there were still a few stray gems around, but I did complete the level so good stuff~ The only problem now was to find the levels xD Ummmm, yeah, it was a little hard to navigate, and now i had to somehow find my way to all the levels again. Shoot. Where was, literally anything xD Welp, the moment I found a level I certainly entered and jumped right in!

Blowhard! Ok so I forget since it has been a few days since I last played, but I Think I went to Blowhard first before the other remaining levels. It was either this here or some time later when I had the thought of 'I might as well go in and leave right away so I can find it later' and I can't actually exactly remember if I finished this one before Magic Crafters or not. But regardless, I finished it in one go, 1 death because bruh, platforms and gliding = still not my strong suit xD But overall the level wasn't too bad! I kept wondering if I'd have to go to the windmill and jump around on it for some of the gems, but luckily that wasn't the case and I didn't have to die trying something dumb. But man, it feels goooood to leave the level through the portal again xD Like I've done a good job~ And I didn't look up at a guide here either xD Fully finished it on my own, good job me! God that makes me sound like such a cheater, but nah, I'm just lazy High Caves! So Imma admit, I completely forget which one I did first, High Caves or Wizard Peak. I'm just going to have to go off on a limb and say it was High Caves since it has less Super Charging. Maybe the level was easier for me to find too? Who knows, it's been a while. But yes. Here we go, a completely new normal level, yeeeee~ And this time we don't have any bitter expectations or anything. Okay. The first bit with the spiraling way upwards with lots of elemental wizards on the way. Mmmmm, that's not as easy as it looks. Ye it's simple, but there's a lot and you can't see where you're going or what to expect, so it catches you off guard. No casualties though, some damage yes, but no deaths. The jumps at the 'green druids that insist on moving everything in sight' was a tad stressful, I think I fell down at least once there? It's those small teeny tiny bits where I just barely miss the platforms. But it didn't go to the point of frustrating, so we're moving forward Painting found and scorched, the actually flaming and hitting it process was the hardest (because I saw it first on a youtube guide, lol, I was eating lasagna and just looking at some 100% videos while eating because why not) the turning is still a bit stiff afterall. But speaking of those videos, I was fairly happy with this level because now we get to the area that has those fairies that lift you back up if you fail and fall. Absolute lifesavers~ Why aren't you on the other levels D: I neeeeed youuuuu~~~ But yeah, failed those jumps a handful of times, I knew to jump after the charge after a try or two, but there were plenty of trial and error bits with several of the glides. My head was constantly pondering whether the game wanted me to use the Super Charge & jumps to get to places or if it was expecting me to get to those side caves with just a regular glide. Regardless though, failure after failure and god-bless those fairies for honestly making this level actually fun and enjoyable to try stuff at rather than to scream and cry in frustration (a super good decision really, to allow people to try and have fun without the cost of failing) all side caves were reached and cleaned up~Good thing the fairies can't just up and quit after you've failed X amount of times xD Because they definitely would have stopped lifting me up after all those fails if they did That one chase with the Egg Thief around that pond though. Nerve wrecking, but I was trying to be tricky and like, extra sneaky about it in like, jumping over it and using the flame. Pretty sure I took a dip into the pond itself, but I got the thief, so.... Necessary sacrifices. And now we're onto the spiders. As a kid I'd probably have been Terrified - and yeah they're Still a little intimidating if you miss them and fail to kill them with a charge since they are invincible - but we made it through that area just fine. Or like, we did clear it up, but it was not a one and done kinda deal xD First run I managed to miss every single spider x2 And then had to hurry on out of there. But this is when I figured out that the fodder respawned after you had

gone far enough away from there, at least here it did, so I could refill Sparx's HP to full and then try charging again. Eventually I had hit all the spiders, gotten lost until I found the second path that lead up to the fairy that gives you a power-up (and yas Spyro looks so cool with the power-ups active in Reignited~) and then that was cleared~ Now all I had missed was a small area you had to glide to at the beginning of the level and then we were done~ Good stuff good stuff!! This was honestly a really fun level and I had a good time. Even left it through the actual portal :2 So it was a success! <3 Also I forget if I've mentioned it or not, but, the Green Druids, the ones that just move stuff around and laugh at you? I kinda like them. Yes they can be trolls, but most of the time they're harmless. They won't hurt you if you stand next to them, they'll just keep doing their things. And I, as not so good and skillful of a gamer, appreciate the lack of hostility. Thank you for just chilling~ Wizard Peak! Another level that was completely new to me and I hadn't really looked into it all that much. And right away I gotta say that this place is really pretty~ I love snowy wintery stuff, so that's an obvious yes from me. Also the music. Yessss, here's one of those iconic songs that truly say 'Spyro' when you hear it~ Overall I do like the level :2 Here we see more of them big purple gnorks, and also get slapped by them a few times - some of those rooms were Crowded, guys it's 'rona time, keep your distance. They're not bad though, just gotta work on that flame length. The wizards on the ledges are a bit of a taunt, since you can just barely not reach them, but sooner than later you figure that there will be some other way of getting to them And ah, Jarvis is right, this Is a very good spot to Super Charge. This spot is seriously like, perfect. The topside will pretty much always spawn a fodder for you to grab a butterfly from whenever you need one, so being hit is no problem at all! No stress in moving around and exploring. Moving onto the next bit with the super charge. Yo, they certainly bring you straight up on over to that one big jump that you'll have to eventually make. And that's an intimidating looking jump. You have this platform, at a distance, all on its own, and you know that you'll have to make your way over there, Somehow. But for now we're still going to just charge at these wizards, and then proceed to smack and hit that tough chest in one go~ First time babey! I Definitely wouldn't have expected that from the stress and trouble I was expecting for the super charges to cause me. I was feeling super proud :2 Alright, time for those distant platforms~ Successfully made it up there, and really, I knew from some past speedruns I've seen that there was going to be some gems hidden behind those walls, so I knew to look there on my own before hand. But what a genious move from the game developers to have that egg thief back there in the first distant platform~ You hear a sound, but where is it coming from? It's like right here but there's nothing? Bellow? Nah, but back here? Yes! Oh there's a hidden bit right here! Sneaky developers~~ It'd be really really cruel, but the egg thief is a good hint to the player that there's something they might be missing. It's unfortunate for deaf players, but other than that it's really smart! And because of this past encounter, you know to look onto the back at the other distant platform too :3 After all of that, all that was left was some gems at the start of the level on some narrow sides that were a little more stressful to get because we be walking on the edge, but it wasn't that bad and there was plenty of room to move. Also Yeet at thee wizards! As I'm looking at some playthrough to remember everything. I think that apparently both the wizards can be reached from those side paths. And now I'm like 'oh' because I definitely remember super charging and jumping on over to one of those higher platforms to kill one of the wizards xD I suppose I took the harder route on that,

but it's fine! Level 100% completed and we leave through the portal again as victors~ Beast Makers! Ah yes, we're kinda writing some extra here, but I did indeed finally enter the 4th world as I played last. I had the option of going here way back before because I had met the requirements for it a way back. But ay, we doing these in order so here we go! Firstly, doesn't seem anywhere near as dangerous or confusingly lengthy as Magic Crafters xD So that's a bonus. The aesthetic is definitely different, but it looks cool, I don't mind it in here. I Think I remember some older stuff being like, there was a black sky box here or such, and that made it look really eerie and kinda like a void or such. But ay, new graphics, new stuff, place was fine The Hogs though. Oh boy xD Jumping off that raft seemed to be hard enough, and now we have these enemy hogs just homing in on you after you've barely made it. Rude. Regardless though, a few things I remember from here. I took to entering every level that I found almost right away and then exiting them. This way I'd not get lost and lose sight of them and it'd be easy to enter them whenever. Yeah I had to treck through the first bit of the level several times over and over again, but overall I feel it was worth it. Reaching some of those distant small platforms via gliding from that temple was a little difficult as you might have guessed, but it wasn't frustrating. There's a sneaky 'well' in the level, I knew of it, even as I somewhat accidentally fell in it as I was checking out if it was the one well that wasn't filled with death, but all was well and good and the level was 100%ed sooner rather than later with no major problems and me figuring out the hogs relatively quickly and easily~ Not so scary anymore, you just have to have some reflexes And this is where we are at now in the games. Flight levels are still incomplete, but other than those everything up to Beast Makers Homeworld is cleared 100% and we're having fun and enjoying ourselves :2

For the first impression thing: since you changed up your blog to be more about what you want and overcoming that fandom obstacle of what your blog 'should be', I've noticed your personality coming through a lot more and makes visiting your blog so enjoyable

omg thank youuuuu ;^; im glad u like my blob!! my personality coming thru is mostly due to people reaching out and making friends w me, so that i started feeling more comfortable in general... but it’s absolutely true that a key facet of who i am is appreciating all kinds of fandom content and being kind to people regardless of what their headcanons are!!

if anybody reading this is still keeping their blog ~stealth~ for fear of the shitty people in this fandom: unless you are ultra popular and already get wild anons on the regular, all that will happen is that the trash will take itself out and you will become free to connect with people who won’t whirl around and stab u in the back when they found out u once enjoyed a fanart of two adult people tenderly kissing. 11/10 highly recommend

Hey! I just wanted to pop in and tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you're not afraid to age female characters! I'm still young, but I think it's important to include older women in work, esp when a lot of time in fics centered around women, they talk about the fact that the character is "still beautiful" after years have passed. It just makes me mad since women don't have to be beautiful and young to be loved, esp when the men written about aren't, yunno? (1/2)

Why do men get to be old and aged and still loved when women have to cater to what they prefer and what’s desirable. I’m just so grateful you don’t write like that, and don’t hesitate to write a strong woman the way you would a man, so thank you! And thank u for writing for us as well! 💘💘(2/2)

I’ve read and re-read this ask many times, thinking of how to properly respond to something so insightful. I’m very glad that you took the time to write this because you mentioned a few things I don’t really notice in my own writing, and for that, I’m very grateful.

TL;DR: I’M GLAD YOU’RE GLAD AND SO INSIGHTFUL AND THOUGHTFUL AS TO WRITE THIS AND I’M JUST AAAAHHHHHHsdgjlkjasdf’; THANK YOUUUUU ♥♥THANK YOUUUU!! YOU’RE SO SWEET, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ASK A LOT, like you have no idea.

essay below:

That TL;DR probably didn’t really express anything other than my appreciation of your comments, but please have an unsolicited essay because your ask is just so thoughtful that I just need to respond to it in kind.

I’m very happy that you find my reader-characters to be enjoyable and that you have such a good opinion of them. Many times, I don’t really notice when I write a “strong” character, it’s not a particularly conscious effort–I just like to write people as people, people who have their fears and troubles, but also who have their good points. It makes me wonder what constitutes a person as “strong” and how it reads that way. I’d be very interested in hearing about it because I don’t make a conscious effort to create a strong reader-character, just a person who has their fair share of experiences and emotions and so on.

Regardless, I’m glad that you’re able to glean this from the few things I write and you can interpret the characters in such a way.

I general like to keep superficial things like the reader’s appearance ambiguous (barring certain exceptions where it’s a pivotal point of the writing) partially because of my Lunaescence days and an attempt to make things all inclusive (seriously, look at their rules, I still follow that shit to this day). I don’t want to confirm that I write “strong women” characters per-say because I don’t want to take away from the reader’s experience–you are you in the story whether you’re male, female, or something else entirely (unfortunately, I am not very knowledgeable on this subject of gender and gender identity, so I’ll be sparse in my words on the matter). So, if you feel that the reader is a strong lady, I am all the more happy you’re able to interpret it in such a way. If people want to interpret otherwise, I’m also okay with that.

As for the topic of an older reader-character, I’m really floored that you focused on it. For a series like Overwatch where the characters are well into their 30’s or 40’s, barring a few exceptions, it’s appropriate to interpret the reader as older especially when you have a reader-character who existed in Overwatch pre-fall and now returns post-fall. Though, again, I try to keep these things ambiguous so as to not interrupt a reader when they’re trying to insert themselves in the story because I am vaguely aware that my readers are varying in ages (though I have some strong suspicions that a strong majority are in their late teens and early 20’s--not an issue, never has been.)

On the topic of a “beautiful” and “young” reader-character, I think that most writers just want to make their readers feel wanted and feel good. It’s really charming to have a character you like call you “beautiful”, “gorgeous”, “handsome”, and all those other nice things that you might not hear on a daily basis. It’s very, very nice. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I respect the writers for being so kind to their readers. However, associating the two (beautiful and young) is just the nature of the beast–they’re generally linked to each other because biology and some other stuff, but I digress. In a weird attempt to keep the reader-character’s appearance ambiguous, I just don’t really mention it. I’m more focused on creating a role and having the reader in that role--it’s Overwatch, you’re a part of some weird misfit gang of well-meaning, bitter people fighting for their lives and the lives of their friends--appearances are kind of secondary to skill because survival and stuff. (That, and it’s also a terrible excuse for me to throw in my experiences and observations.)

But in all honesty, you’re making me see my writing in a different way. In trying to make the reader-character as ambiguous as possible, it seems that people are still able to find notable characteristics in them that people enjoy and I find that amazing.

Thank you for writing this, you’re fucking amazing and words can’t express how much I appreciate your observations.
