In the spirit of your personal mormor renaissance:

Hi, Pasi! You don't know me, but my best friend and I have been re-reading tvd every year since 2013. It has been such a fundamental part of our relationship since we met a decade ago; To us, tvd is the one and only true mormor canon that exists to this day. Seriously, I've been unable to find a fic in any other fandom that holds my attention as well as (any of) your work. Your Jim/Seb have been living rent-free in our brains since 2013.

(Seriously, thank you for developing such amazing characters. I have learned SO much about writing/developing characters with rich inner lives from reading your work, and I think about you every time I sit down to use my creative writing degree.)

Anyway, it was my bestie's birthday in June, and to celebrate the ten year anniversary of tvd, I formatted and printed two physical copies of tvd in hardcover book form. (It's just for us, no one else will ever see a copy!) He just moved almost 3,000 miles away, and we spend so much time reading to each other on the phone these days, having a physical copy of tvd feels like owning the holy grail.

Since literally none of this would be possible without your labor of love, would you mind if I had a third copy made and mailed it to you?

Listen. I don't follow you so Tumblr blurred the image and when I clicked it open I cackled. Excellent choice! Beautiful! Well done! Love it!

I am immensely happy that you and your friend found so much joy in it, and beyond flattered by the impact it had. Ten years later I can still reread and be proud of what I did, but the extent to which it influenced people still blows my mind.

I would love a copy! Although honestly compels me to say that you aren't the first one to have a printed copy sent to me (thank you again @killmecoward , I never got round posting pics or gushing about it because of life-with-baby reasons, but never doubt it delighted me).

I see your "Sirius and Remus were the last people to know they were dating" and raise you a "Regulus was the only person to realize Sirius and Remus were dating" because even at a distance he knows his brother better than anyone

Truffle Queer (or Trufflequeer)

A blankqueer stance that understands it's pretty much impossible to change peoples' minds over the internet, so why not have some fun with the idiots and haters?

hi, new follower here for the exquisite ME fanart, have you played supergiant games' hades? pretty sure that's something i'd love to see in your style

Thank you for the kindness! Regarding Hades, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that it's not my type of game, gameplay-wise. I usually don't enjoy combat for its own sake. The good news is that I did some research, because in this instance I'm perfectly fine with watching someone else suffer with combat. So, at the very least, I did some scribbles for you based on my findings :)

You verses the guy they tell you not to worry about

I have said it once, and I will say it again if they were going to choose a voice actor that sounds nothing like Garfield, they should have at least gone with Andrew Garfield because that least would be funny.

[hellsites-an-understatement]

why the fuck are radqueers so fucking dense??

abuse isn't love, being told to cut yourself until you're close to death isn't love, feeling dependent on someone who tells you to hurt yourself isn't love, ABUSE ISN'T LOVE.

literally, i promise you that having a healthy relationship won't kill you. surrounding yourself with people that want to see you flourish and thrive is fucking amazing!!! other people should be a safezone, not a fucking minefield!!!

[anti-rq-vriska]

radqueers will be like "guys we're so opressed everyone wants to KILL US and sends us DEATH THREATS" and then put their entire life story in their pinned in the form of 329058923523985732 emoji combos. like. have we not heard of basic internet safety. everyone would get death threats doing that shit

Coming alongside the old building that once housed the Green Lounge, an absolute tip of a dive from his youth, Downey hears a song floating down from an open window, a few floors up. An old ditty—a little dirty, plenty catchy—about a woman washing her hair and thinking of her lover, except it’s all euphemism. 

He and Ludo would sing it, loudly, drunkenly, as they meandered home through streets. Sometimes, he’d play it on the fiddle for something to do when he couldn’t sleep as a student. He once translated the lyrics and wrote them down the side of Vetinari’s Brindisi-Ankh-Morpork dictionary as a rudeness. He also drew something abhorrent involving a woman and a horse. All very anatomically correct. The physics are best not contemplated. Their languages professor discovered it one day and took Vetinari to task. Downey only feels slightly bad about it. 

WILLIAM. A. DOWNEY. you were a menace as a student. an absolute menace.
