#thank you for blessing us with your lovely presence and amazing talents

[padfootdaredmetoo]

Hello! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your recent Peaky Blinders fic where Tommy and Lizzie adopt a teenager. You have such an amazing talent for capturing these characters!! If you are taking requests (if not, just ignore this), I would love to read more fics with this character! You are AMAZING, and thank you for sharing your talent with us!!! :)

Dear Anon,

This is a bit ridiculous but I kinda love the drama. Hope it makes you laugh. The next chapter will be a dinner party with Alfie and have some more Tommy & Lizzie healing because I can't help it. Thank you for writing in with kind words! I'm so happy you enjoy my work and I hope you enjoy this story too!

Tommy had grounded you for the rest of the week-long vacation, which was a blessing in more ways than one. Events were pilled up this weekend and you were happier than ever to have a reason to stay in. 

Did it have something to do with Noah sneaking in most nights to sit with you and talk? Perhaps. Did your stomach burn with guilt every time he left as your parents came home screaming? Most certainly. 

No matter how much you adored Noah, you knew there was a thick divide being placed between you and your parents. A choice was resting on your shoulders and it was more pain than you could sort out on your own. 

You sat there commiserating at the table buttering a piece of toast as Lizzie entered the room. She sat in the chair across from you and lit a cigarette. In all the time you’d been here you’d never seen her look so miserable. Like her mind was a haunted house, playing cruel jokes on her while the oblivious world passed her by. She was fighting something, and the pain radiated into your bones much like the October winds. 

She and Tommy had been fighting on and off all weekend since the incident at the fair. Noah had offered countless ways to fix it, but somehow you knew that none of them would scratch the surface. You didn't really understand what had made him so angry at you or Lizzie. 

Your stomach dropped at the thought of him being unable to forgive you. Suddenly you needed to be back in the safety of your room immediately. 

“I’m going back to bed.” You said weakly. You scurried out of the room before she could respond. You got under the covers of your bed and rolled on your side wishing the anxiety would wash off. Intrusive thoughts of the harsh reality you would face outside the comfort of the life Tommy had given you started to eat away at your mind. How would you make it out there on your own? 

You spent most of the morning like this, eventually, you had to move to the bathroom floor as you  lost the contents of the small breakfast you’d consumed. 

Why this was all hitting you like a train became evident around 10:30. You got your period and decided that’s where the overwhelming feelings were coming from. 

The issues were very real though. You got yourself cleaned up and changed into your PJs, you doubted your presence would be missed. You lit the fireplace in your bedroom and climbed under the heavy quilts. Rest seemed to be the only rational thing to do. 

_______________________________

“Why did you say it then? You always do this! You're going to drag us all right back down to Watery Lane. Is that what you want Thomas?” 

“It’s not like I have a fucking choice in the matter, eh?! You think I want this for our family?!” 

“You -” 

There was a knock at the door and they both straightened up assuming it was you. Esme poked her head in the door of the kitchen taking in the scene. Broken plate on the floor, Lizzie’s makeup a mess, and Thomas looked like he’d just come back from another war. 

“Sorry to interrupt. Just came by to check on her” 

“She’s upstairs -” Tommy started before Lizzie cut him off. 

“Can you bring her something to eat, she must be starving by now.” Whatever they were working through Esme hoped that it would end soon, this was the worst she’d ever seen Lizzie. 

“Poor Lamb. Must be heartache. Couldn't manage breakfast that past few mornings I was by-” Esme froze on the spot realizing that this was probably not the best time or place to play connect the dots. 

Sick in the morning, not eating, flushed face, puffy. Fuck. 

She grabbed some sandwiches and a plate before hurrying into the hallway. She called Polly over before going into your room. 

She took in the warm temperature and saw you curled in on your side. 

“I brought you a sandwich.” 

“Thank you.” You said quietly, with no trace of your usual sunny nature. 

“Now enough of this storm cloud. Tell your Aunty what's wrong.” She sat on the floor near your head and kicked off her boots to warm her feet. 

“Will you and John adopt me if I agree to babysit?” 

“Don’t think they’d let you go, but I’d do just about anything for a built-in babysitter.” She joked before realizing you were serious. “Love, why on earth would I need to adopt you.” 

“They keep fighting and I know it's all my fault - I don’t know what to do about everything - I-” 

Esme looked at you as you burst into tears, her worst fears seeming more likely. 

“Hey it won’t be so bad once the shock wears off, I’m sure he’d marry you. I had my first babe when I was only a few years older than you, it’s not so scary?” 

“Woah - no” You shook your head frantically. “That involves - and I haven't - just no to all of it.” 

“Oh.” Well, what could have her bent out of shape? Esme thought as she ran her hand through her hair. 

“I’m losing both of them - It’s my fault what happened at the fair. He’s so angry with me. But I don't even know what I did wrong. Lizzie looks - God - It’s all my fault.” 

“No, love. It’s not like that at all.” She started to explain the recent business troubles when Tommy opened the door looking whiter than a sheet. 

________________________________________________

He was so tired of arguing. The more she got worked up the more he realized he could never make her happy. Old rivals showing up was hardly a part of his plan. She looked so worn out, all by his doing of course. 

Then there’s Noah sneaking in every night they're gone. 

All of it was too much, and yet he was very aware that there was something else Lizzie wasn't telling him. 

Another knock on the door caused them to sober up. 

“Is she alright?!” Polly said taking in the state of the two of them, looking worse for wear. Panic welled up inside her at the state you must be in.  

“What do you mean?” Lizzie asked. 

“Esme called saying she might be with child- where is she?! Polly stated urgently wanted to get to you immediately. 

He felt his blood pressure drop, and his limbs went cold despite moving faster than ever to find you. He heard Lizzie burst into tears and Polly shouting, neither of them came even close to priority. 

Opening your bedroom door you were balled up on your side and Esme was comforting you. 

“Out.” He said as calmly as possible. “Now.” Thankfully Esme didn’t argue, stepping past him out into the hallway. He shut the door and pushed down every bit of anger inside him.

“Dad, please! Don’t throw me out I’m sorry for what happened at the fair. I - I’m sorry.” You were crying too hard to speak as his arms came around you tightly. He didn't know what to do, he was overcome with the emotion that he’d failed as a parent as you looked terrified of him. 

After a few moments, you calmed down enough to speak. 

“You and Mum are always fighting now. I know it's because of me. Esme said she’ll take me if it's too upsetting for you.” 

“You’ve never upset me.” He said absently, trying to understand everything. 

“Well, then just tell me what I’ve done wrong so I can fucking fix it.” You snapped angrily. He was tempted to put you in your place, but then he watched your face twist into regret. 

“Sorry I’m on my period” you let out a frustrated sigh. “the two of you don't make any sense to me. I just need to know why your mad so I can fix it.” you started to cry again and he started laughing. 

“You think this is funny?!” You growled, but the relief he felt from your words was untouchable. 

“Sorry, love.” But he kept laughing again, pulling you close. He made the careful decision to shield you from his side of the situation. “Business is bad right now. Like how it used to be, Your mother’s mad, my hands are tied.” He sighed, relaxing in the warm space. “Her and I have our own problems to revisit right now.”

“So none of this has to do with me.” 

“No. However, if I catch that boy climbing in through that window again I’ll kill him.” He felt the fear run through your body, and he remembered how scared he’d made you. “If Noah wants to come over he can use the front door.” 

“Really!?” 

“To stay in the living room, or the sitting room, or the kitchen.” 

“What about the library?” 

“Only if I’m there.” He said sternly thinking of all the dark corners. 

“Can Alfie come?” You pushed. 

“No.” He said with more emotion than he intended. 

“Please, just for dinner?” 

“Fine. One dinner. Once things get sorted out yeah?”

“Can I help? I could try and -”’ 

“No. I need you to just stay a kid as long as possible, alright?” He looked at you for a long moment before you understood what he was saying. 

“That won’t be difficult.” You nodded. He prayed that you were right. 

“Now your mother’s probably needing a hug right about now.” He gave you one last squeeze and then you grabbed your house coat before following him downstairs. 

Lizzie was an absolute mess. Esme took Polly out of the study and you sat next to her giving her a hug. She held onto you tighter than ever.

“Hey, dad said he’ll figure everything out.” You comforted. “I’m sure Alfie and Noah would help too.” 

“He really loves you, ya know?” She sobered up a bit and you decided that must be the problem. “All I ever hear about is “Be more like your mother.” Never Grace, or Polly. Always you. I thought you were both mad about the fair, I didn't realize so much other stuff was going on.” 

“I’m pregnant.” She said in a hazy tone. 

“Whoah.” you were at a loss of words. Your initial reaction was to cry in joy before you realized this was the final layer of fog clouding the arguments between her and Tommy. She wasn't worried about business, or Noah, she was worried about what happened to Ruby. 

“Yeah.” She said solemnly. “I don't know if I -” 

“You can. Don’t even think for a second you can’t. I’ll be here to help, we all will be. It won’t be like last time.” She gave you a nod. “You should tell dad.” 

She nodded at you again. You kissed her cheek before getting up and leaving the room. You ran to the kitchen and pulled him into the hallway. 

“She’s pregnant. She is scared about business because she wants to know if things will be stable. She’s afraid of what happened last time.” You explained to him. “She’s also a mess of chemicals and hormones so just, she’s a bit, ya know.”  

He just stood there looking at you. “Just go easy on her, act surprised, don't tell her I told you.” 

“She said all that?” 

“Well no, but I can tell.” 

He let out a long sigh. “Go sit with Polly.” 

_______________________________________________

This time he didn’t wait for her to speak, he just sat close to her grabbing her hand.

“I’m pregnant.” She whispered. “Not her.” 

“I thought I was going to die.” he said honestly, enjoying the way her mouth turned up. “The whole time she thought I was angry about Noah. When Polly said that she was pregnant I swear my whole life flashed before me.” 

“Is that so? And what about now.” 

“Well, I’ll sort this thing out with the Italians over the next couple of weeks. Nothing will change around here, business is still 100% clean. Just have to clean up this mess before it festers. But I know she’ll be all over you to help. Might take her away from all that time spent pining. All in all, I just want you to know that I’m happy. Everything else will fall into place. No need to worry about anything, I’ll handle it.” He said quickly. 

“She tell you to say all that in the hallway?” His first instinct was to be defensive but the flicker of amusement in her eyes was enough for him to swallow his pride.

“It’s true so does it matter?” He said hoping she knew deep down that he would always look after her. 

“No. S’long as it’s true.” She kissed him and he felt more at peace than he had in weeks. Leaning into her embrace he forced himself to settle down. “I’m scared Thomas.” The look on her face broke him. 

“I’ll always keep you safe. I fucked up in the past. Please trust that I’ll do right by you this time.” 

She responded by kissing him again, this time it was even harder to push her off. 

“Got people in the other room, love.” He said holding her tightly. “We should go make sure she’s alright. Been through a lot today.” He ran his hand over her stomach. 

“All of us have been through a lot today.” She agreed. He was amazed at how she seemed to carry all that stress and still look so beautiful. 

They entered the kitchen and relaxed. Hearing you laugh made his heart swell, and Lizzie was finally engaging with the world again. His girls were happy, so he could be happy. 

The phone rang interrupting one of her stories and he groaned as she flew out of the kitchen to grab it. 

“That bloody boy.” He scolded as everyone laughed. 

_____________________________________

Coming up next: Alfie might need to help with the Italians, and Tommy did agree to a dinner party that may be even more drama-filled than this. 

This might be the most dramatic thing I’ve written, felt a bit more like a bad sitcom, but hopefully, it makes you laugh!

To the ready...

This is my last devlog and final reflection before Band Camp Boyfriend releases. We started working on the game in 2015. We released the demo on Itch.io in 2018. We got our Steam page up in 2022. Now here we are in 2023, almost eight years later. We’ve been working towards this moment for eight years.

To be honest, it’s a little bit scary. My anxiety can’t help but whisper, “What if they hate it?” but thankfully logic growls back, “They won’t.” The most important thing is…I love it. I love it and I’m proud of it, and I’m here to reflect on everything and thank everyone for their hard work. Band Camp Boyfriend was once an idea in an instrument truck and today it is a reality thanks to you.

I may use “I” and speak from my perspective here, but I am only one half of the soul of this game. My sister’s heart, creativity, memories, and talents also make up Band Camp Boyfriend. She is just the shyer of the two of us and not as present on social media. So while I speak from my heart, know that it also comes from Alex’s.

Alex and I came up with the characters and stories together. We bounced ideas on band fields, long walks, and over coffee. There are so many warm moments of us barely able to detail our scene ideas in between peals of laughter. Together, we crafted it into better versions, constantly improving on it. As we worked, we covered for each other’s flaws. Alex is the perfectionist between the two of us and she is the more knowledgeable one when it comes to music, as she majored in it. She also was able to do the math and figure out the tough programming. Then she taught me—I am not the perfectionist, but I am the workhorse, the motivator. I am obsessed with checking things off my list and constantly working to whittle it down. And while her writing style is to carefully hone each paragraph, mine is to just devour. I sit down and I just write—though I like to say the characters write themselves. I’m just an invisible presence within the story, writing the scene as it plays out. If you know the characters deeply enough, you always know what they’re going to say next and your fingers fly across the keyboard just to keep up. But enough about me.

Band Camp Boyfriend is the kind of game that absolutely needs an original soundtrack and by God did Alex create an incredible one. The themes, the motifs, the fine details. She has put so much thought and hard work into the music of this game. I have no idea how she does it. It’s magical to me. It adds so much to the game and heightens the emotion by tenfold, and I can’t wait for you to hear each song—from “Let It Slide” to “Swan Song” to the full band performance of the alma mater and that final song in the credits. Every single song brims with Alex’s talent, passion, and hard work.

And honestly, I am blessed to have her as my sister and my best friend. Thank you, Alex, for sharing this journey with me.

One talent my sister and I do not share between us is digital art. We write, we program, she composes…but sprites, CGs, backgrounds, GUI? That’s not something we can do. So we commissioned artists we found on Lemmasoft Forum and I’m so grateful to have found them when we did.

Bunny, our background artist, created the entire world of Band Camp Boyfriend! She worked with us closely to make sure the details were right and was so sweet. It was so cool to be able to move around the world she created and help capture the shots that we wanted. Potouto (now Khoaisama) was also wonderful to work with. She is so full of talent and creates amazing, unique GUI for many different visual novels! Also, I love her enthusiasm. And our chibi artist, Mayunnaise, has created some of the most adorable chibis I’ve ever seen! Thank you all!

I want to say a special thanks to Flora, our sprite/CG artist who was so incredible to work with. She was patient, devoted, talented, and granted us art even better than we imagined…seriously, I would lose my mind over everything she sent us…but one of the best things we attained on this journey was certainly her friendship. Flora, you are a fantastic human being with a wonderful sense of humor! I’m glad you will finally, finally get to see your stunning art in action. Thank you for sticking with us as we kept spinning in circles. “Okay last round of CGs…actually, can you do one more round? Actually, just one more CG. I swear this time it’s the last one, I swear!” She also needs to be commended for her dedication to nailing all the detail on the instruments. That’s not easy to do. Flora, you rock. I hope you love the game.

Next, our stunning voice cast. They brought these characters to life in a way no one else could, better than we ever could have envisioned. Seriously. Their talent made me love these characters even more, which I didn’t realize was possible. I’m sorry for making you all wait for the game so long and I’m thankful you continued to reprise your roles throughout the years when we asked for more lines. Joe, Jonathan, Wish, Jared, Richard, Joseph, Mark, Emily, Melody, Daisy, Daniel, Lasli, Angelo, Riley, Sara, and Steve…thank you from the bottom of my heart for lending us your incredible talents. You are all spectacular voice actors and lovely people.

And I could never forget my fantastic friends who helped beta test the game! Becca, Karen, Kristin, Ross, Chris! Thank you all for lending your time and for being my friends through thick and thin. You each brought your own talents to testing and really helped me to clean up the game. Ross the genius also helped with programming and I am extremely grateful to him and his brilliant mind! Programming the Extras menu was no small feat and I don’t think we could have done it on our own and still met our deadline. Thank you so much for offering your time and working so hard.

We are sorry to cast, crew, and fans that creating the game took so long. This is a hobby and a passion rather than our full-time jobs, and you only have so much time for hobbies as an adult. Life can easily get in the way and we certainly faced our fair share of life changes and hurdles these past 8 years. We often beat ourselves up for not finishing the game in 2020 as we had initially hoped, but I believe this is what was meant to be. The game only got better. Some of the early story decisions make me cringe. Some of the writing I revisited was written by someone with less life experience and a bit tone-deaf on real issues so I was able to fix it. Most importantly, a final route (which was previously going to be DLC for later on) was added and wraps up the game wonderfully. Band Camp Boyfriend was meant to be released in 2023.

I want to thank both of my parents for their unending support through it all. Our dad helped us with the business side of things, getting the game copyrighted, and the joy of taxes. He wholeheartedly supports us in whatever we do, though he is a tad skeptical that a game called Band Camp Boyfriend will sell many copies…so we’re gonna surprise him, right guys? :)

As for my mom…I owe the fact that the game is finally on the cusp of being released to her. She has been our biggest supporter and fan. She has spent hours helping us program and running tests on the game. Until the very last minute, she scraped through the game to make sure there was no crashing. Before that, around two years ago, she sat me down and asked what she could do to help see this special game finally become a reality. It was a major turning point and we owe her so much. Her love of the game kept us going.

Love you both more than words can say. <3

Finally, I want to thank all of the people who have contributed to the wonderful memories and hilarious quotes that have found their way into Band Camp Boyfriend. The three different marching bands I was lucky to be apart of. And to my favorite, hilarious band director and my wise, gentle French horn teacher, who are no longer of this world…thank you for fostering in me a strong love for music, for seeing a talent in me that I couldn’t always see, and for building me into a stronger person. You both left this life too soon, but your impact in so many lives remains. I wish I could show you the game Alex and I created, the game that you helped inspire, and make you smile one more time.

I know some people will look at the hokey title and think it’s just another dating sim, just another gimmicky game, but to some of you, I hope it will be much more than that. As it is to me. It brims with a life of experiences. But not just mine—I’m sure so many of us who have worn a marching band uniform have had the same experiences. And through these experiences, we are connected.

I’ll say it once again, even though it won’t be the last time you hear this: Thank you for playing Band Camp Boyfriend. I dearly, truly hope you love it. I hope the game makes you smile, makes you laugh, makes you cry, and I hope you carry the characters, their lessons, and their story in your heart long after you get that final CG. I’ve carried Band Camp Boyfriend with me for almost eight years; I am so ready to share it with you.

See you at band camp.

-Taylor

Hi my love, now it’s Sunday here and the day is so beautiful already, it’s truly a blessed day. The happiest birthday ever to my beautiful and wonderful sweet little baby Annie 🎂 I hope you have an excellent time celebrating this day with your family and friends and receiving all the love you deserve. Because you deserve all the great things in this world. You are a ray of sunshine, a soul that is so beautiful that captivates every single person that has the chance to interact with you, a true angel on this earth! I admire you, you inspire me, your presence here makes everything better, you always amaze us with your talent and kindness, you have the power to make me believe that only good things can come from here, which is probably true since you’re a blessing to this world. Remember when you said to me that we’re going to have the chance to see the boys live? That is one of the best things you said to me and I keep it to myself and the thing I wish more for both of us! I know deep down that this will happen anytime soon. That’s is my number one wish for you today, but also, stay healthy and safe, wishing you a very happy and prosperous life ahead and I love you very deeply. With all my heart. 💜

I don’t think my brain can comprehend how a person who I’ve never met before can tell me some of the most beautiful words anyone has ever said to me, pat you’re unreal because what you just said literally made me start crying. how does all this love fit into one human? I really don’t know anyone else who gives out so much happiness without ever losing it themself, you’re a sunshine factory. we as a community here and just me as a simple person can be so lucky to have someone like you here who makes every single day a little bit brighter.

Happy birthday week, @radiowallet!

Posting this early because quite frankly one day isn’t long enough to celebrate the wonder that is you.

I just wanted to take a few moments to wish you a very Happy Birthday for the 17th and thank you for being such a beacon of light in this fandom.

You give out love and support to so many so freely, and expect nothing in return and we are so lucky to have someone with a heart of kind as yours here with us.

On top of your genuine kindness you have the most phenomenal writing talent and you bless us with so many of your stories and I know that so many, myself included, are so grateful to have discovered you and your brilliant mind through your writing.

Thank you so much for everything you do, thank you so much for being here and most of all; thank you for being you.

And now I just want to take a second to share all of your wonderful work.

@radiowallet | @catepagewrites​ | Masterlist | AO3

We love you so much and a few of your friends have kindly sent in some messages to wish you the happiest of birthdays which I have posted underneath this cut.

Most darling Cat,

Your birthday merits celebrations of the highest order, so I hope you take some time this week to honor the wonderful person that you are. Your incredible talents, your brilliant wit, and your observant insights are just a few of the things I’ve come to appreciate about you so, so much. Most of all, I’m so happy to have your friendship. Whether it’s talking ourselves through long, thankless days at work, worldbuilding within our DMs, or sending each other silly TikToks, my days are infinitely better with you in them. Here’s to another trip around the sun—let’s make it a good one!

Happy Birthday!

All my love,

Jess - @jazzelsaur

Happy birthday, Cat! I am so endlessly proud of you and your talent. Have a lovely day 💚💚💚

Maia - @honestly-shite

Happiest of birthdays, Cat! Your writing has meant a great deal to so many people, myself included. PWC was one of the first stories I really got into when I joined the fandom. It is so inspiring to see someone so dedicated to storytelling and writing characters who are beautifully flawed. I hope that you have a relaxing celebration surrounded by those you love, and know that all of your internet friends wish they could be there as well!

Laura - @lowlights

“Happiest of happy birthdays to one of the most talented writers I’ve gotten the chance to know.

Happy Birthday Cat!!! You’re one of my most favorite people here and I feel so honored to be able to call you a friend. You’ve always been immensely supportive and kind towards everyone, and seeing you on my dash every day truly is so lovely. On top of being one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, you are undoubtedly one of those most creative and talented as well. Reading your fics is always a pleasure and a masterclass in writing all in one. Thank you so much for sharing your works and your presence with us all. I hope you have a lovely day ❤️

You're an incredible friend, a huge inspiration, and if I could I would hire Pedro to hide in cake for you!"

Kelly - @chaoticgeminate

Cat,

I hope you have the most wonderful birthday! I have to tell you that you are amazing. A wonderfully talented addition to our little fandom and it makes me grin every time I see your posts roll across my dash. ❤️❤️❤️

Keri - @absurdthirst

If Cat were a cat she’d be my kind of cat, bright and purring and playful, a nice kind of cat. She’d wake me in the morning with a pat of her paw and sleep in the sunshine along the north wall. But Cat’s not a cat, she’s a wonderful pal, sweet and supportive, full of talent et al. Sometimes she’s sad, and of course that’s okay, we all have our feelings and our very bad days. But mostly she writes like her heart is on fire, tales of heroes and lovers and things poorly wired. I get lost in her moments and wander her tales, I often feel that next to her my writing pales. But how can one hold one art next to another? Cat is unique—writer, author, and mother. The way that her stories can stir up the feels, I make her my queen, to this Cat I kneel. Please all raise a glass to our Cat, birthday queen! The loveliest, kindest, most amusing and brilliant, balanced and giving Cat I’ve ever seen. <3

Adira - @oonajaeadira​ 

Happiest of birthdays Cat! If you asked me, you have no business being so sweet, so kind and so talented all at once. I hope you have the most amazing day and a wonderful Christmas ❤️

Cee - @fuckyeahdindjarin​ 

"Dear wonderful Cat, thankyou for being such a lovely pal and an a+ human. Lots of love, Kitty xx"

Kitty - @yespolkadotkitty​

Cat!! I hope you have the very best of birthdays! Seeing you on my dash never fails to put a smile on my face, and it has been a true honor to watch your writing grow and flourish over the last year and a half that I’ve been following you. Thank you for sharing your work with us, and thank you for being the wonderful person you are💗

[yukikorogashi]

me trying to form words in my pudding mess of a brain rn more like call the heckin police and turn me in... bUT THAT BEING SAID. 2023's ending so it's time to scream !!!

hooboyyyyy where does one even start with becky ??? do i go back to when we first met what felt like decades ago? :0c perhaps i go back to when we were born, yea? EITHER WAY, from the day the world was blessed with your presence, it's been an EXCEPTIONALLY better place, and any of us who get to call you a friend (or even just an acquaintance) are so so sooooooo so so lucky! u.u i will never not be absolutely floored by the fact that i know someone so sweet and so selfless who i get to call a bestie and rely on for so many things... what did i do to deserve you ??? heck if i friggin know, man <3 all i do know is that i'm so grateful that i know you, and it forever means the entire world to me that you forgive my transgressions and continue to support me throughout all of my disasters; thank you

not only that, but you're one of my fave writing partners eternally !! <3 we've discussed this so many times, but i'm just so stoked that we can literally take ANY muses from ANY fandom and throw them together; doesn't matter who they are or how the interaction will work. we make it work !!! and EVERY single time, the dynamic is so incredible and always immediately full of depth that can be difficult to establish without the amount of dedication we put into it ;w; you are so insanely creative and talented, becky, and all of us who get to witness that are the lucky ones here <3 i'm always just squeaking and screeching on my end when i see anything from you on the dash; writing, art, headcanons, ooc posts... you bring such a liveliness and cheer, and i can't thank you enough for brightening my life!!!

i hope you have a fantastic end to 2023, and here's to 2024 treating you right <3

2023 is almost over!

With the final month of the year here, it’s your chance to send the mun or muse something you’ve wanted to tell them! Whether you haven’t had the chance to or you’ve been too shy, now’s the time to say what you feel, and don’t hold back!

Dang gir, if this is you struggling with words, then I can't wait to be further blown away when seeing you at your top game AUEHUAW!!!

BUT OKAY... OH LORD ALMIGHTY... HERE WE GO... OH WOW WHEE...

Not to be a broken record if not that stubborn returning tennis swerve, but DAMN-- where do I even start when it comes to the magnificence that is my bestie Sammy??? The day we met was truly the beginning of the one of the bestest things that could have ever happened to me. As one of the most gosh darn amazing human being on this very planet was going to end up being such a dear friend of mine. A friend whom I would readily defend with a shovel in hand, if ANYONE does her wrong in anyway! And to be loved so dearly and supported by her too is just... I'm just so lucky tbh. 😔 It's so funny how we both remain so floor and are constantly going "What did we do to deserve them???" @ one another, because lord knows I STILL keep wondering this myself. I just know that I likely did something right, to be blessed like this. 8^)

And, Sammy... you are a treasure... one of the most precious beings in the whole wide world to me... ;; For any rocky roads that we may end up needing to drive through... it's always worth it when we both fight to make it to the end together (... Gdi, I hope that actually made sense, ROFL!!! B-But I think you know what I mean, bestie!!! 😭 You have always been fantastic at deciphering my caveman talk too so AUWEHUAW!!!) And of course I will always support you and all the amazing things that you so generously bring to the table!!! Ya know I'm one of your biggest fans-- and heck, it's not like I'm sneakily fighting in the background with a few others over that number one fan spot so... 🤫

And oh gosh, no matter how many times you say that, catch me here with a hand over my heart! 😭❤️ You know YOU are one of my most favourite of writing partners (LIKE DUH!!!), forever and always! You are one of the most fun beans to scream to about anything, and truly-- the fact that we can take any muses from any fandom and throw them together like THAT really just shows how incredibly well we work together??? And honestly, I can't thank you enough, for always being such a wonderful plotting and writing buddy. Again, I really am one of the lucky ones, though. To work so well with honestly? One of the most talented dang writers I ever have the honour of knowing!!! You are always so fun to talk to about absolutely anything, and how enthusiastic you always are about anything I gotta share always means the world to me. And again, I hope I am able to return that all in some way and properly express how much I truly appreciate you! ;u; ❤️

Hey, I can't thank you enough for just being you, Sammy. For being such a constant blessing in my life over these years. Honestly, I'm just left speechless every time I take a step back to just look at the entirety of this beautiful friendship I have with you. I'm so lucky to know you, we are all so lucky to know you... I love you, gir. ❤️

Have a fantastic year end yourself, bestie! Thank you so much for taking the time to send this like homg-- And well, catch me here already looking forward to spending another year with you!!! Just holds your hands now!!! 😔❤️

@magnifiico ❤️💕

[antimonyandthyme]

hello! i'm not super sure how one starts a rant about how good your writing is but that is exactly what i'm here to do.

i recently went very very deep down the martian rabbit hole and my descent into madness was facilitated by your absolutely sensational fics. I kid you not when i say that i actually cried over some of them. i gasped out loud at other parts. i felt goosebumps. i grinned like an idiot. my breath caught in my throat (which is a real thing so go figure!). reading your writing was genuinely such and experience and I do not have the words to adequately describe every part of it but I would like to just say. they bring me so much joy and you are so unbelievably talented.

your martian soulbond fic. i have read it perhaps 4 times now? and everytime i cannot put it down. i sit down and read it in one go and everytime (almost) feels like i'm reading it for the first time which is amazing. the raw need that mark exhibits in that fic isn't something i've seen much of and it's fabulous to see and read such an interesting dynamic. both of them feeling inadequate. the possessiveness. and a really interesting concept which is the selfishness of the mind shielding! most fics i've come across that deal with soul bonds don't really delve into that and i loved the nuance on that.

shutter speed. wow. the casual possessiveness of mark (which you have a talent for writing into all your fic), the way seb goes from i wont take photos of people to "i HAVE TO DO JUSTICE TO HIM" WOW. BREATHTAKING. you brought pictures to life with your words!!! THE VALEWIS IN THE BG. AMAZING. also the little commentary on the responsibility of a photographer.. it felt so relevant especially today when people are just. monetising other people and their own lives and mining them for content and idk. i really liked how you dealt with that. i've always been of the bent of mind that you should live in the moment and photography takes away from that... but genuinely this fic has made me want to reconsider that stance. but also at the end. not really. ugh. it was *chef's kiss.

just. thank you for writing! you are fantastic and so talented and just. beyond words.

so so so much love <3

✨

Anon 🥺🥺🥺 I'm going to spew out my appreciation for you under the cut because it got long huehuehue

I don't even have words this is just so very kind, lovely, encouraging, and wonderful all at once. What an amazing thing to wake up to. I've read it so many times and I'm clutching your words close to my chest. I'm so happy to know that my fics have moved you in such a way I'm squeaking I'm blushing I'm scuffing my toe into the ground I'm walking around in circles! Come back here so I can give you a lil kith! A big kith! Come back here so I can love you!

I'm over the moon you liked Shutter Speed! I think it's one of the fics I'm most proud of. I'm not a photographer by any means but I have friends who are and amazing people like @sebrrari who really helped me with details like the vibes of being in an art show. It's so good to know it came across well. And it is very much about knowing when to use the camera and when not to! Seb at the end, just basking in Mark's presence, and understanding that in that moment, he doesn't need anything more. He sees and is seen, even without a lens.

The shielding in Treading Softly was my favourite mechanic of the fic! If you'd like to read a little more about it, here's some thoughts I had previously. Essentially the fact that you can design the doors in your head, make them big and heavy and imposing and impenetrable and hurtful, and you can create the scissors that snips your bond into two, means that it all comes down to choice. Yes, there are soul bonds, but yes, deliberate care must be taken to keep them. Huehuehue anon!

Descent into madness being facilitated by fics is something I have partaken of and am very proud to be a part of ehehehehe. If you'd like more martian recs, check this out! We're blessed to have so many amazing authors in this fandom. We're blessed that we're still getting food after so many years! Can you imagine! From 2013 to now. Unhinged! I love them! I am unwell about them!

Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a sweet message anon, I appreciate it so greatly. If you're around please pop over for a chat anytime! (Or slide into dms so I can give you a very big hug and we can be unwell together)

@scarlxtleaves

It was their first year together as traveling companions and Sinbad had gotten wind that it was her birthday, there wasn’t much he could do for her now because his influence at the time had been limited only to the Reim empire but he did his best to make sure that the day would be towards her liking. He uses the money he’s made from his book sales to acquire a gift for her. A wristband that possesses a sapphire that bears the insignia of an ice element. A rare treasure within Imuchakk that he KNEW she would love..or at the very least he was sure. SO once she awoke from her slumber the teen smiles handing her the box. “Heard it’s your birthday today, Happy Birthday Rina. A beautiful gift for my VERY beautiful companion.” He flashes her a wink. (have a happy bday from season 1 Sinbad.)

𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚! 𝟎𝟕.𝟐𝟕.𝟐𝟑

The young star shines brightly, but it will turn into a meteor. The Origin Dragon knows a talent when she meets it. Yunan has already given the blessing to a young star as a Magi, but the Origin Dragon wants to have this pearl for herself. She wants to see how far he will go and how strong he'll become. Akin to Solomon, she wants to watch his journey but... this time, she wants to be a part of the journey. There hasn't been a mortal who has intrigued her this much. There hasn't been anyone who bore such ambition and such potential. His presence can enlighten the whole world if the right steps will be taken.

There's no need for grand celebrations. A yearly birthday for an Origin Dragon is nothing but a feeling like she's being praised for living a day. Though, her ego loves it and adores it. The fueling of it begins with the first words, but it's quite adorable that Sinbad has taken such a serious approach to their traveling. Gifts are exchanged between humans on such celebrations, aren't they? Knowing his monetary situation (and not assisting at all to teach him independence), Zarina cannot help but chuckle at his earnest approach... while remaining a flatterer. Certainly, it'll cause him great trouble in the future. Esra must be scolding him above.

"You've been awake for quite a while, haven't you?" Zarina offers him a smile, taking into her hands the beautiful present. He has good taste compared to how he started off at Reim. Rurumu taught him well the importance of good taste and knowing good gifts when he sees them. Ah, he knows her tastes so well now! "You've learned how to choose a good present, Sinbad. It's beautiful."

Without hesitation, she decides to put it on right away. The wristband makes her smile in satisfaction, it light weight yet elegant design makes her quite happy. She wants to show it off in the empire while walking around today. There is some business to be done if she wans to ensure future prosperity for herself as well. The little Magi of Reim is a stubborn one. But right now, she wants to enjoy this moment with Sinbad.

A birthday... maybe celebrating it every single year isn't so dull and bad.

"I'm the prettiest companion you'll ever have, Sinbad," she raises to her feet and flicks him on his nose with a smirk. "In ten years, you'll understand that there won't be a prettier companion than yours truly! I'm just that amazing." She even pinches a fabric of her skin and bows before him as he does in the theater, a true actress. "Thank you, Sinbad. Let's go eat breakfast. I got us more fruits yesterday when I came back. You were already asleep. Ah... As for my birthday wish, I'm coming to watch your spectacle. Make sure to make it extra magical." How selfishly demanding, but that's just how the Origin Dragon was.

Now, she pats his head (her tall height makes it all too easy) before passing by. It's time to make breakfast and she's delighted to try some of the purchased ones. What a good beginning of the day. Zarina isn't taking off this wristband for the whole day for sure.

𓍯𓂃Red Thread of Fate𓍼𓂃ֶָּ֢ ֶָ֢.

Beyond our imagination, the destined souls are tied through the invisible red string, allowing them to connect in the most unexpected ways. The magical thread could tangle, yet it is unbreakable no matter what the circumtances led them.

It was another day for Artheon to live his life to the fullest. Nothing special happened during the time, except doing his role as parkzungho already excite him. That time, Artheon was not interested yet to fall for someone new after his romantic relationship ended. Not until he met a new acquaintance that caught his attention.

That person, haewohni as her username succesfully captured his attention. The reason? Mainly because she got a silly skit to play around with Artheon. Her replies were out of the box and somehow parkzungho wanted to get closer with this young lass. She got a humor that might fit his personality so well. Throughout the conversation, he was wondering if it was wise enough to shoot his shot? Moreover, the conversation was not deep enough and prolly haewohni might step away from him, in case he confessed his feelings.

Days have passed, yet Artheon still gathered his courage to knock on her door. Draft was already in place, yet he stepped back, because he was unsure whether he could step further. He was worried if it could ruin their friendship-next-door, but guess what? The universe seemed to know the sound of his heart. Haewohni approached him privately and that was when their love story began.

Artheon can scream out loud now that Mircalla or haewohni is now mine and we've been together for a year already. The invisible red string really connected us together. Even under such circumtances, they managed to pull us together and we can get through of everything. There are so many obstacles, yet the string will keep them close.

Throughout a year, Artheon only can feel the immense joy by sharing the unforgettable moments with Mircalla. Loving her is such a blessing, as it brings me enormous happiness all the time. Mircalla taught Artheon so much things that he used to be lack of. Patience, for example. Artheon used to be a hot-headed one and childish but Mircalla's presence helps him to remain calm in solving their obstacles in relationship. Moreover, Calla has always been considerate towards him.

Mircalla always stands up for herself whenever things don't sit right with her, and he learnt a lot from her. Artheon truly admire this side of her, as he tends to accept everything that serves on his plate. This is the value that Artheon looks up through her. Mircalla, you're such a cool person! I hope you know that your little act helped your surroundings as well. ❤

Mircalla is also skilled at everything, including flirting me. Am I right, my dear? Each day, I am always fascinated with her talented skills. She is a truly gifted individual and Artheon somehow is motivated to do what he favored the most, just like Mircalla did. I wish the entire world knows how talented you are! The outcomes, too, never failed to amaze me.

Ah, one more thing. Mircalla is such a bubbly individual and Artheon is glad that she matched his own freak. From doing skits together and playing games that allowed them to be silly. Artheon truly enjoyed her company, mainly because he can be his ownself whenever being around Mircalla. Artheon doesn't need to pretend anything, as long as Mircalla is right next to him!

Mircalla, how do you feel right now? I bet you're bawling your eyes out after reading how the magical red thread kept us close until now. I too, feel like my tears gonna burst out within seconds. I will try to wrap it up for now! 😆❤

Our first year anniversary is the solid proof that love and trust will always find its way to bind us together. As we always emphasize, we trust each other, thus we can maintain our relationship until now. Beside that, I believe that healthy communication became an integral part of what we have become today. Thank you for never giving up on me, Mircalla. The rocky paths might come across us anytime soon, yet I believe we will conquer it all. As long as we're being together.

Mircalla, I love you so much and I truly treasure you. I realized that I am still lacking a lot of things, yet you have been welcoming me with open arms. I will always try my best to become a better person for you. Thank you for loving Artheon with all his flaws. ❤

My love-next-door, you can always rely on me whenever life gets hard on you. I will be right next to you, soothing you with a gentle caress. Though it might not help you much, but I wish it could release the weight on your shoulder. I love you, Mircalla. Let's gain strength from each other! I can't wait to spend more time with you. ❤👫

— Sincerely, Artheon Leander. 🐱

[finelinevogue]

omg could you do a fluffy little thing based on your nyc insta request where mc meets fans and they ft harry and it’s just like the world’s glimpse into their relationship 💓

yes let’s do this!! this is short and sweet, but i hope you love it all the same!! ;

You were walking out of Starbucks when a group of girls approached you.

The day was not the nicest in New York, but you had errands to run within the city so you thought you’d get them done when it’s not a brilliant say and save the nicer days to do something fun with Harry. You’d been to the Apple store to fix your phone because it keeps on playing up. You’d been to Gucci to pick up a delivery for Harry. You’d been to the local florist to pick up some flowers for your best friend, since she was feeling under the weather. Finally, you’d just picked yourself up a coffee before you had to head back home.

Unfortunately Harry was at a fitting appointment for his tour outfits, so he couldn’t run errands with you, but he sent your good friend, and bodyguard, Aaron with you to keep you company, but more importantly keep you safe. New York could be absolutely crazy when it came to fans, but even more so when it came to creeps who had no respect for women or boundaries, so having a bodyguard helped keep things calm.

“Hi excuse me, you’re Y/N L/N right?” One of the young girls ask and you instantly knew this was a group of Harry’s fans. The giveaways? One of them had a Fine Line tote bag. One was wearing Harry’s merch. One was wearing a green frog bucket hat that Harry had worn only once.

“I am yes, hi.” You smiled politely at them, holding the warm cup of espresso between your hands. Aaron was stood near you, but not making it look like he was here for security.

“Hi, we noticed you in there a minute ago and just wanted to say hi and that we’re really big fans of you, and obviously Harry, and that we really love you guys.” The one with the tote bag spoke, who was also the one that had introduced them. You guessed that they were the most confident out of all them, because it did take balls to speak to a stranger in the way they did.

“Yeah, you’re both so sweet together and you clearly make each other happy. It’s so lovely to see actually.” The one with the frog bucket hat spoke up next. The one with the Harry merch kept a lot more quiet and you could tell by their body mannerisms that they were very nervous and shy - a lot like you actually. You had been an awful lot like them before you met and then he helped you come out of your shell and experience the world in a much brighter and safer light.

You’d be forever grateful for your boyfriend. Your best friend, Harry.

“Aww that’s so sweet of you all, thank you!” You cupped your hand over your heart in awe of their kindness. Harry’s fans always never failed to surprise you with their passion for love and spreading positivity. You admired people like this in general and it was only made more special when they were inspired by your Harry. “What are your names?”

“Oh i’m Alanna.” The one with the tote bag introduced themselves first, holding out their hand for you to shake which you shook kindly.

“Bethany, or just Beth I don’t really mind!” The one with the frog hat introduced themselves next, receiving a handshake too.

“Love your hat, Beth.” You pointed to it and they smiled excitedly.

“Harry was the inspiration!” Although you already knew that you let Beth have a moment to themselves and be happy over the little anecdote.

“And what’s your name, lovely? I’m Y/N.” You reintroduced yourself to the last girl, wanting them to feel as comfortable as possible with, not only you but, meeting new people.

“Marissa.” They smiled and shook your hand willingly.

“Oh I love that name! My aunt is called Marissa, but she goes by Mar though.” You told them the most useless bit of information just to make them feel that bit more at ease.

“People call me Mar too.” They smiled brightly and you felt like you might have cracked through even just a portion of their shell.

“Well, can I call you Mar then?”

“Yeah!”

“Cool! So you guys from New York or..” You asked, looking at all the shopping bags they carried. They’d been to all the shops you once could only just about afford, now you were lucky enough to be able to shop in the places you only ever window shopped in.

“We’re from New Jersey but just came shopping for the day.” Alanna explained. “Never expected to run into you though so that’s pretty cool.”

“Yeah, definitely made my day!” Beth added, smiling brightly.

“Well I can only apologise that i’m not Harry or he’s not with me. He’s currently at tour fittings.” You explained and they told you not to worry about being sorry. You had a brilliant idea though.

“No, seeing you is so amazing Y/N!”

“Yeah, you’re Mar’s fashion inspiration!” Mar blushed, as their friends exposed them for being such a huge fan of yours. It helped explain why they were so nervous in front of you too.

“I’m honoured.” You laughed and pulled you phone out of your pocket, hoping to run with your great idea. You prayed it worked. “Just one second.” You held up your finger to them and they just nodded eagerly, sort of hoping that you were doing what they thought you might be doing.

You opened your phone and clicked on your most recent contact. The familiar beeping of a face-time ring rang through the air surrounding you.

“Hello my favourite human being. What’s up? You okay?” Harry’s golden face came up on the screen, your face high up in the corner. He looked so pretty. He was in his brown Gucci coat and had his hair all ruffled from where he’d washed it this morning but not dried it. His hair went crazy when he didn’t intentionally tame it - a bit like yours. You admired his worry for you, smiling as he kissed his camera as if to virtually kiss you.

“Hello my favourite boyfriend.” You teased him. You often greeted him like this and it always made him smile, just at how playful you were being. “I’m doing good, miss you though.”

“Miss you always babe.”

“You free?” You asked, looking briefly to the girls who were all grinning wildly. They were so excited and it made you chuckle, which caught Harry’s attention.

“I am yeah, why? What’re you laughing at? Better not be some hot celebrity you’ve accidentally bumped into.” He rolled his eyes, letting the jealousy get the better of him. You smiled and returned your attention back to your beautiful boyfriend.

“No, there’s no hot celebrity in my presence except from you baby.” That made him beam with happiness and blush with love.

“To what do I owe your beautiful face calling me then?” Harry asked, taking note of your background to recognise that you were still in the city.

You turned the camera towards your new friends, you in the bottom of the picture and them in the top above you. They were huddling together and waving towards the screen. Mar had tears in their eyes and Beth had their hand over their mouth in shock that this was actually happening.

“Met some lovely people who deserved a special hello from you.” You explained to him simply.

“Hello!” Harry stressed the ‘o’ making it sound more like hell-oo. He was so socially awkward greeting people over face-time, but he made it seem so easy nevertheless. He never wanted his fans to feel awkward or unsafe so he had to be as socially brave as he could.

“We have Alanna, Beth and Mar. They’re so kind and Mar says i’m their fashion inspiration.” You winked at Harry, understanding where Mar was coming from because Harry takes fashion inspiration from you regularly too.

“Which one’s Mar?” He asked you and you pointed the best you could to the girl wearing his merch.

“Um pretty sure Mar’s wearing my merch babe! Are y’sure they said you were their inspiration?” He laughed, which made Mar laugh and you were really happy to see that.

“No I did say that.” Mar backed you up, which earned a fist bump between the two of you and you sticking your tongue out to Harry.

“Yes bestie!” You laughed, knowing that was the language Harry’s fans used with one another. Not that you were on stan twitter or anything…

“Sorry if Y/Ns causing any trouble for you lot, believe me she’s quite the bloody handful!” Harry joked, making you scoff and then laugh at how rude he was being. You knew it was all a joke and a front, but he was so cheeky to be so playful in front of people he’d just met.

“Oi y’wanker. Sorry about him.” You apologised on behalf of Harry for no reason whatsoever.

“Harry?” Alanna spoke his name and he dedicated his attention from you to them.

“Hello? Alanna was it?”

“Hi, yes, Um, I just want to say that i’m really proud of you and all your achievements. I think you’re an absolute treasure and we all love you so much.”

Before Harry could get a word in they each continued to add onto Alanna’s praise. Harry started blushing, never being very good at taking praise. On the other hand, giving praise, he was remarkably good at - you could vouch for that.

“Yeah Harry your music is second to none and it’s really been such a blessing to be a fan of yours. You’re ridiculously talented.”

Mar was last to speak and although they didn’t say much, their words held gravity and were clearly very important to them. Maybe that’s why Harry appreciated Mar’s words the most.

“Thank you, Harry.” Was all was said, but it was enough for Harry to clear his throat so he didn’t start crying in front of these people. He didn’t need stories getting out of how he got all weepy because of some sentimental things his fans said, God the papers would twist that story a thousand different ways - and none of them good.

Harry kept the conversation with them for a little while longer until Harry announced he had to go back to his fittings. After they’d each said their goodbyes to both you and Harry, and even Aaron, they quickly asked whether they could post any of the photos they took from today - to which you and Harry were both completely fine with. The three of them then walked off and waved back to you, you waving too. You smiled so brightly, feeling so full of joy from meeting such wonderful young women. Not all Harry fans were that nice, so you were glad that those were the ones you had the pleasure of meeting. You turned your attention back to your loving boyfriend who was already looking at you - with so much love in his eyes you thought they’d turned heart shaped for a moment.

“What?” You asked, smirking at his cheeky face which gave you a belly full of butterflies.

“You’re just so amazing, d’you know that?”

“Oh stop being so soft i’m going to bloody cry otherwise.” You turned your head away for a moment to catch the tears before they could form, only to look back at him and he had his eyebrows raised as if he already knew that you were on your way to crying. “Shut up, you.”

“I’m sorry, y’too cute not to torment. Alright call me when you get back home safely babe, alright?” He asked and you rolled your eyes at him, he laughed at your childishness but knew that he only meant well for you.

“Okay. I love you, baby.” You kissed your front camera as a signal of goodbye that you did every time.

“Love you so much. Bye, bye, byeee.” He kissed his camera every time he said bye and you laughed at him before ending the call. God you loved him so much. Now all you wanted to do was get home and have a warm bath with your loving boyfriend and, little did you know, soon-to-be fiancé.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!!! 🥳

Hiii! I know I’m late and I was contemplating whether I’d have time to make this but here we are. This year was pretty bad and for half of it I didn’t realize how much it was taking a toll on my health until I had the worst summer of my life. It was very hard and my patience was tested and I have a feeling I have more struggles coming but I truly would not have survived it without you guys. Talking to you all, creating art and fanfics and just interacting with my mutuals gave me so much hope and strength and I’m super thankful for that 💕

@starryfreckles Sarah you are literally the most wonderful person and I’m so glad you were here with me for the past year and a half. I’m so glad we got to work on our projects with Moyo season and the Ballet AU. You’re my writing soulmate ❤️ and most of all you’re an amazing friend 😌💫
