yourusername Everybody knows I'm not someone to give off big ass texts on the internet, especially for something I've been particularly saving for myself for a really long time. But today is a special day, and I couldn't wait until I wrote this open letter to you.
Lando, my world champion, I remember the first time we ever met. I was barely anything about a mere intern on the social media team, and you still didn't have a single hair on your face. Look at how far we've come.
This win will forever be unforgettable. You deserve every moment of glory and happiness from all the hard work you've been doing for this. You're the world's best boyfriend and godfather. Ollie and I love you very much, and we are beyond proud of you. We'll always have your back. And we'll always be here to cherish, cheer and take care of you.
Proud to be LN4 and papaya on the heart 🧡

a personal update
I don't usually share much about myself on this blog, but it seems that writing Silver has changed the trajectory of my life in a way I never foresaw and it feels appropriate to mark that here somehow.
read more because this ended up longer than I intended but
tl;dr I got a visa to move across an ocean and live with one of my readers
In November of last year, while in the throes of finishing my longest story ever, I got a kind ask from @starsoforionwrites. Without going into it too much, I did not have much going for me at the time. I'd just quit my master's degree after only a semester, had to move back in with my parents, couldn't get a job, etc. I wasn't doing well.
But then I got this friendly message! And as I was sitting there at my local cafe, trying to escape my chaotic family and wracking up more credit card debt paying for a chai I couldn't afford, I decided to reach out.
So we started chatting. At first it was about fandom and our stories, but fragments of real life began to slip in. And starsoforion is just so much fun to talk to. I started looking forward to the time of day when they would finish work and we could talk, staying up until ridiculous hours because we just didn't want to stop. Learning morsels of information about who they are, piecing together all the bits and pieces into this person I liked so much.
By mid-December, we'd gone from joking about meeting to buying airfares. I finally got to hug them for the first time at the international arrivals door at the airport at the end of January.
We spent a wonderful 10 days together and by the end of it, we decided we were going to try to be together.
Which, as far as immigration goes, is (thankfully and surprisingly!) not terribly difficult for us, given our particular combination of citizenships and residencies.
So I doubled down and got a job to start saving as we made plans for our future. After six months apart working hard, we saw each other again, this time with me visiting them just to make sure I could see myself living in the UK before I dropped money on the visa application.
And then... everything's worked out. I got the visa. I'm in the midst of packing up my things and leaving my job to move overseas before the end of the year.
I can't believe how writing fanfiction has brought this special person into my life and given me this incredible opportunity, or how different my future looks from just one year ago. I'm doing so well, I'm so proud of myself, and so happy.
so there you go, kids. follow your dreams. comment on your fav fics. date the authors! who knows what could happen 💕
p.s
if you're interested in the logistical/immigration side of this story, I have been blogging about it at @bels-adventures

Official Character References
This took me. All night and day. BUT THEY'RE DONE!
I said I was going to finish these this weekend if it killed me, and I'm not dead yet, so I guess you suckers are stuck with me >:)
Done in Micron ink pen, Koi watercolor paint, and Prismacolor colored pencils on watercolor paper. Because I wanted to be fancy.
I included closeups; you'll want to click and zoom in to appreciate the details, especially on Ahsoka because her dark skin kind of obscured the inking details. Even in real life you have to look at her face and lekku closely, because the dark colors have a bad habit of blending together, and I'm sure my phone quality helped with that tons. (sarcasm)
Enjoy, and as always, feel free to send me any questions you might have! I love hearing from you :)

When I was a kid, I wanted to be like my father and grandfather, who lived to work, loved what they did, and were honored, respected and loved by the entire family for how hard they worked and being good providers.
When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to get my first job. I thought people would respect me more, that I'd be so grown up. I also wanted my own money to spend as I wished and was heartbroken when I saw how tiny my minimum wage paycheck was after taxes.
But I had big career goals and always had a job while I pursued the education I needed for my dream career. When that career began to materialize, I lived, breathed, and dreamed it until it fizzled out.
My plan B worked out pretty well, and for a time I had big ambitions for this second career, too. But it's been harder and harder to hold onto those goals or even find any satisfaction in my work.
I'm just tired, burned out, and want to never work again. I do the least I can for the most pay possible and not a lick more. I've never felt the respect I thought I'd get for being so good at doing so many things, for being savvy enough to latch onto good opportunities as they arise, for working so hard for so long and supporting myself and my kids. I've come to realize reverence for "a good provider" only applies to men and if you're a woman, all your accomplishments will always be evaluated next to what aspect of mothering you had to slack off on- it's a no-win situation if you're a woman. The world will always see you as a mother if you have kids, as a failed woman if you forgo them for your career. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
So now work is just a thing I have to do to survive and I wish I had some job that demanded nothing of my creativity or mind but at this point I'm going to just stick it out and hope I can afford to retire while I'm still healthy and alert enough to enjoy what's left of my time.
Every work email feels like it's prying tiny chunks off my heart. I'm so, so tired and spend at least a few minutes every day trying not to cry.

Uh oh. Essay in readmore time
What's so frustrating is that for almost all of my life I didn't know I had adhd, and only found it out 5ish years ago
During ALL of my studies i was intensely freaked out and even when i got a grip on some of my mental health shit at uni, importantly I was still unaware of the adhd. And only had some professional tell me about their suspicion about it AFTER I could have received any support in my schooling.
And I have been working damn hard over the last half a decade to learn about myself and the way I work, and be kind to myself and open minded, and learnt from many many different people with adhd how they function - especially through advice on here bc much of Google is shit, and learnt what does and doesn't work for my personally.
I slowly unravelled and found myself. To a point where I'm actually functional and content in myself.
So now i find myself in the most intense, stressful period of my life since then. Grieving and finally understanding what people meant when they spoke about grieving a very close loved one. How nothing feels real even.
And I've found myself so extremely wired from having to do a very vast array of tasks all crammed into a short space of time with a close deadline - exactly the same conditions as during my studies.......... where nothing ever helped.
Yet. In the last thirty minutes I've unwound because I instinctively KNEW what to do. I found myself following all the things i taught myself about my adhd, and now I'm like 70% more chill???? Huh?????? Noticed suddenly that I've been using my ADHD self knowledge for the past few weeks and coped remarkably well because of it.
It's shocking because imagine what i could have done if I had ANY help with my adhd EVER in my life from the adults who were supposed to notice in my entire childhood. Like HUHHHHHH, I am shocked. Imagine how I'm here as an adult using 5 years of learning adhd related advice and stuff I learnt through self awareness .... and feeling better.
SHOCKING!!!!
PS - long ass tags that immediately ramble away from my initial post and go into something positive and that made me feel fluffy inside. You've been warned
