a little drabble from postcards to get me in the writing mood :)

"That shirt looks nice."

Crystal laughs, looking down at the sweater Gigi gave her for her birthday before looking back up at her. “You made it!”

“No! I mean—yeah, but I like seeing you in something I made. It’s… nice.” Gigi’s cheeks glow brilliant red as she looks away, her gaze resting somewhere past her for a second.

“Oh.” Crystal feels something burning in her, something hot and electric, “I like wearing things you made for me.”

That feels like something. This feels like something.

It’s not like she has the courage to do something about it, to take this further, to poke and prod and flirt and test the boundaries of their newfound "bestie era", so she looks away to hide her blush. "It's nice," she says, parroting the words Gigi said only seconds ago. There's so much she could say, but that sums it up without pouring her heart out to her.

She doesn't say it though. She just keeps watching the person walking past the window who's walking their very excited poodle, or looking at the way the wind blows through the trees, or looking at anything but Gigi.

Gigi reaches out, lightly adjusting the way the sweater rests on her. It's quick, light adjustments, but she feels every single one. Especially a quick graze of the back of her hand against Crystal's bare side, her fingers slipping around the bottom of the sweater.

Once again, it's electric.

And then it's over.

"Okay," Gigi starts, taking a step back. Crystal lets out her breath, not that she knew she was holding it, and nods. At what, she's not sure, but it feels like the right thing to do. "Ready to go?"

Crystal nods again, clearing her throat. "Yeah," she agrees shakily, clearing her throat again, "yeah, okay, let's go."

hey i was going to say this anyway, but now that I've seen someone actually being rude to you, just gotta stress it:

you do not know how grateful I am to you for writing such wonderful wonderful words every week. I am also so very happy that you're getting a lot of appreciation from so many people (well deserved 🥰)while I can understand that it's super motivating for you, to see so many people love your work, to write more, it can also be a bit of pressure (but depends on you ig)

you mentioned being sick and not being able to write some weeks ago. you're a working adult with bills to pay and this isn't something you're obliged to do anyways. pls don't strain yourself, take enough rest. if you're behind on a chapter or if it's going slow, I'm sure we can all be patient!

In joker out's words, "no waiting, no gain" :)

thank youuuu 🥺🫂💖💖💖💖💖

that is so so so sweet of you to say thank you so much <3333

dont worry, the only pressure on me is the one that i place on myself (weekly chapter) and thats honestly bc i suck at finishing things so i have to keep a schedule that is strict enough that it keeps me constantly engaged instead of slacking off, but still lose enough that i have some leeway (some days i write more and some days less etc) and so far thats beeb working out pretty well! im impressed and surprised by myself hahaha!

and all the comments and your sweet messages and all keep me sooo motivated and i cant wait for everyone to see it all come together in the end 💖💖💖

Hi, it's May 2023 now time rly does fly fast huh? I still re-read TRA bec it's my comfort fic. Anyway i hope you're doing well and still having amazing sex lol! I miss hearing bout ur seggs stories and just ur life updates. I hope one day if by chance u can still open this acc, and you'll see our positive messages ahhh! tysm for writing tra really. Every year i still send you an ask it's pathetic jshdhd but i miss you sm my fave writer but I hope u're well, happy and healthy! 💜 it's been what 4 or 5 years but i still won't give up hope that u'll update us someday even if it's just a life update huhueee im just so thankful u wrote tra. And i truly miss you xx take care always!

oh boy so hi i don't even know how many years its been at this point but this message just really warmed my heart and i thought you were owed at least a response!!! thank you so so so much for this kind message. you guys have been getting after me ever since i left and trust me i see every message but i just didn't know what to say? i don't even know how many of you remember me or will even see this. im sorry for that. god i can't believe its been that long. i don't know if ill ever update tra. i really intended to finish and hoped having beta readers would help but.... i think i had left the fandom at that point so it was hard to put myself back in that same space. i really want to say how i intended for it to end but there is a part of me that hopes to finish it. i just don't know when that'll be, if I even decide to. but i've been getting back into writing lately but I post on ao3 now!!! if u guys are at all interested I could answer messages privately? anyway I hope ur doing well too whoever u are and i appreciate u from the bottom of my heart!!!!!! thank you so much for your patience

i keep going back to read sparklecare thinking i'll like it but i just...don't

maybe i'm silly but it feels very flat? I still have no real grasp on the characters or attachment to them, I have vague ideas of a few of their main traits but not much else. I'm aware the entire comic is basically vent art, it does just read like a child's fanfic though..not to be insulting to fanfiction, but it does have a certain style or writing or joking to it. I don't dislike it either, but the writing and characters just don't vibe with me, i don't have the words to adequately explain why though

Sapnap is the J-hope of Dteam in terms of shipping not talent...

this is evil

[orcelito]

I should make an actual outline for the coming chapters of discacc. Maybe if I'm more organized it can make writing easier

i finished spy x family!

Imagine a roller coaster slowly climbing the first hill. Then once it finally gets to the top, you have to get out and walk across a playground that has that deep gravel that's annoying to walk in. "Oh well it'll be worth it once I get to ride the rest of the coaster". Then you go down the shortest straightest plastic playground slide imaginable. And also it's kinda damp. A single firework goes off in the distance, but there's some trees blocking the view. Then the ride's over.

i am having so much fun writing these chapters of SOBR. i haven't had this much fun writing in quite a long time.
