— RULES: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc. ) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

my ongoing long-fic project, DEAD MAN’S WISH (a far cry 5 western!AU) — It’s the first time I ever published a multi-chaptered work and under the risk of appearing too narcissistic, it’s my biggest achievement as of yet and I’m very proud of myself because it’s actually amazing and it feels wonderful to be able to pull off something as imaginative, deep, intriguing and sweet at the same time. I always wanted a western story that would not be primarily about outlaws, violence, and shootouts in saloons. I wanted a story that would combine the deep connection between characters with a mysterious narrative that takes inspiration from American folklore and monsters. I wanted a story where the drama would be just as important as the psychological inner workings of the character’s minds that each have their own troubles to overcome. And having to actually achieve something like that, looking at the word count grow, knowing I put hours and hours of effort into it and appreciating what I do? It’s the happiest I have ever felt. #my mind ♥

"Confession”, a far cry 5 ONESHOT — I rarely publish my oneshots online, not out of fear of their quality, just not feeling the need, but this was the first one I posted after a long time. I LOVE and LIVE for getting into character’s heads, I enjoy the psychological work of trying to get in their shoes and feel how they feel and write it all down. This one sums up the complicated relationship between John and Debbie during the events of the game - the conflict between trying to save the one you love and stopping them from doing the wrong thing. It’s a year and so old now and I would probs change a few syntax and grammar things, but the overall vibe is something that underlines the tension between them so well and I’m glad I was able to pull it off!

this EDIT for Dead Man’s Wish — I always wanted to try my hand at something “more complicated” and I finally got the courage to do so! I’m really digging this new format and I’ve been using it in my other edits as well

my series of edits I did for WORLD BUILDING JUNE 2019 — Night Lands has been my original story project since I was a teen and there has been literal years of work poured into the world and the plot. Appearance-wise they are not my prettiest edits (they are almost a year old now!), so the lore of it is more of an achievement in my eyes; I have also edited a bunch of stuff since then and it misses a few important entries I didn’t manage to post last year (like the sun-worshipping religion aspect and the race of sun elves; i will add these later!), but it felt really nice to create something for 30 consecutive days

this PHOTOSHOOT I took of my favourite place during last summer — I love castle ruins in general, but these ones hold immense emotional connection to my soul; instagram version here (among my other photos *wink wink*); also, it’s over a year long so it doesn’t apply, but this photo is my absolute fave I have ever taken

HONORARY MENTION, because I can: this DRAWING of Debbie — I literally draw once in a few months and all I achieve are basically sketches like this and I’m extremely unconfident about my skills, but I really like how this one turned out (despite the mistakes)
