Hi! Writing from my vacation spot <3 Thank you all so very much for constantly supplying me with this much love and support! It means the world to me!

That last attack was the worst one yet, at least for me and my loved ones. One of the key targets Russia has chosen was located just 1.5 kilometers from my home. It hadn't even worked properly for years, but I doubt these terrorists care about it, they just needed to hit something.

The attack went on from 9 pm to 6 am. 28 people died in my city, the last time I checked. One of the missiles hit the apartment complex; from what I heard, out of everyone living there, only 2 people, 9 cats, and some birds survived - our local heroes managed to dig them out on time.

The most discouraging thing is that we know it's only going to get worse, as Russia keeps amassing drones and missiles for its terrorist attacks, and the countries that could make it pause don't give a damn about it. I think this decision has terrible long-term consequences for other smaller countries, but then the world has never been a nice, fair, or logical place.

From better, more personal news, I'm really enjoying my vacation! Things have been mostly quiet, the nature is beautiful, and I got to sleep for a couple of days straight. Now I'm ready to fully dedicate myself to writing!

Hello from my favorite vacation spot

Will answer some more asks later today. Thanks so much, again, for being here for me!

[typicalher]

Hi, I just wanted to check in with you since your last post. Are you doing okay? I hope you and your family are safe 🖤

Another ask: Hello, I hope you’re doing okay! I would just like to ask if you’re okay since your last post. (About the attack.) I know it really wasn’t that long ago, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I hope you and your family make it through this tough time!! We’re all thinking about you!

Another ask: Are you okay???

Another ask: I really hope you are well. Your last post has me worried. I hope that everything that is happening will end soon.

Hi! Thank you all so much for caring and worrying about me still <3 It means a lot. There were two attacks, and the last one was one of the most intense that ever happened in my city. Fortunately, my family and I weren't harmed, but the apartment ended up filled with disgusting smoke. It stayed there for hours - breathing wasn't pleasant. Most of Russian shit attacked us from my side of the city district.

We're due for another attack soon, maybe today.

I'm going on vacation starting with June 19th. I'm not going to a safe place, it's still near Kyiv, but I'm hoping for the best. And I think I'll finally finish the new chapter of Those Gentle Slopes there!

How are you feeling?

It's been a long time since your last post.

Another ask: Hello dear, I hope you are well. It would be great if you could give some sign of life haha I'm really worried about you

Another ask: Just want to check in that you’re doing okay?

Another ask: How are you feeling?

I'm worried about you, you haven't posted in a while.

How are things going there?

(⁠˘⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠˘⁠)

Another ask: How are you ? It's been a long time since the last update, hope you're well.

Hi, my wonderful readers! Thank you so much for checking in <3 Lots of things happened - nothing critical, but it kept me busy. First the intense attacks on my city, then my pigeon flew away. She can't survive by herself outside, so this had me crushed. However, she came back eventually, and now she's safe again!

Then I took a trip to the forest with my brother and his girlfriend. It was raining, we had a great time, but I fell sick afterward, ugh.

It's just some flu, but it's a persistent one, I've been down for the second week now and I still don't feel very well.

We are also expecting another massive attack on my city. Everyone keeps issuing warnings about it, and to be honest, I'm so fed up with it. I wish I hadn't seen these warnings; it's not like I can do anything to protect myself anyway. No one can when the first ballistic missile can hit your city in less than two minutes. There is just no time to run to some bomb shelter even if I could.

Trying to focus on what I love, though. I'm halfway through with the Those Gentle Slopes update, and now I finally have enough material to post a snippet or two. I'll do it tonight after answering a couple of asks - as long as the attack doesn't take place in this time window.

Hi there!!

I'd hate to be a bother, but I get worried whenever you haven't posted for a while, especially as your last post was when you were under attack, are you alright?

Also I'm heavily enjoying all your fanfics-- I read your hannigram works before I even knew about the show!!

Another ask: hope you're doing okay our thoughts are with you

Another ask: Hello, how are you? I hope you are well, since you haven't posted for a while. Take care of yourself, you are my favorite writer. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Another ask: Hello, just wanted to check in since it’s been a few days since your last post, which was about an attack ;-; I hope you’re safe <3

Hi! Thank you all so much for caring and worrying about me <3

Honestly, the reason I don't usually post updates about my well-being is that it's futile. Since my last post, we've been under attack nearly every day; my city was bombed just 40 minutes ago and there is another bombing happening within an hour or less.

I do manage to live and enjoy myself as much as possible between the attacks, but they make my schedule all the more complicated because a part of my day is spent shaking and being useless - I'm too frightened to do anything else during the bombings. So I work, write, and reply to messages much slower, and sometimes I don't check my social media at all because I'm too exhausted to even open my laptop despite knowing that I have the most wonderful people ready and willing to offer me comfort there.

Eh. I'll never get used to this. So, so tired.

[typicalher]

Under attack :(

[typicalher]

That's some kind of a curse: as soon as I post a chapter, Kyiv is under a massive attack. Ugh.

Thank you all for your amazing and interesting comments and asks, can't wait to respond to them! Hopefully, I'll be online again soon.

[typicalher]

I OWN THE NIGHT.

[typicalher]

It's been a while since you last posted anything.

I hope you're well

Another ask: I saw in the news there was a horrific attack in Sumy yesterday. are you okay?

----

Hi! Thank you - I'm okay, things have been unusually quiet in Kyiv for the last couple of days. But Sumy... yeah. I'm absolutely devastated.

34 people murdered, including children, the last time I saw the update. Just random citizens taking a walk across their city, or riding the bus, or travelling by car on a Palm Sunday morning.

We haven't recovered from the recent mass murder by Russians in Kryvyi Rih, where 20 people died, including 9 children, and a woman burned to death in yet another attack during the night. And now this. And everything in between, and prior to that, and in the future to come.

I don't have sufficient words to comment on this, just pain and weariness.

[typicalher]

I'm from Ukraine, and today I cannot stay silent.

On April 4, a russian missile hit a playground in Kryvyi Rih, killing 26 people, including 9 children.

Today, April 6, is a day of mourning in Ukraine. We remember and will never forget

russia is a country of terrorists and murderers

So, remember it too. 🥀

[typicalher]

Hello, we're strangers, and I hope that I'm not overstepping, but I fervently wish that you—and your family—is okay. I read your posts describing your situation, and I just keep your well-being in my heart.

You're by far one of my favorite Tomarry writers, but more importantly, you seem like a lovely person.

Thank you so much for your kind ask! I appreciate it a lot <3

At this specific moment, I'm doing well enough - there is no air raid yet, my parents and my pets are sleeping, and everything is blissfully quiet. Perfect time to do some writing! Hopefully, this night remains peaceful.

Inside Interview with the Vampire - Season 2

[typicalher]

It's been a long time, I hope you're okay.

Hello! Thank you so much <3

Honestly, this month was tough - my family brought my last surviving grandmother home to us (she was living in a city that's being destroyed by Russia, so it was increasingly dangerous for her to stay there). However, she passed away 4 days later. And then my oldest pigeon passed away, too.

I think I might be depressed on a deeper level than I thought. There were two weeks of mostly-no-explosions in Kyiv, and I could use this time to finally finish the Tomarry update and resume working on my Black Butler story. And I wanted to, but I just couldn't. I have been struggling with getting myself out of bed and doing even the most basic things.

I was hoping I'd feel better with time, but nope, the strange blankness is still there. And now we are under daily attacks again. Three people died last night in a drone attack: a 5 year-old, her father, and an old woman. She was trapped in her burning apartment.

A warning - this is a terrifying video.

That's the daily risk we all have to take. Being scared all the time is exhausting. Death after death after death - it just doesn't end.

Today I grew utterly fed up with myself, though, so now I'm trying to kick myself back to life. I hope to have better news about updates soon - I already started writing again, and what do you know, the moment I did, I felt so happy and excited. The most difficult thing is to make myself sit down and start, and I'm determined to keep doing it.

On another positive note, I've been making my way through your recs and I found a mafia-centered drama I liked. Many of you have probably watched it already - it's called KinnPorsche. There were many corny moments, but I still enjoyed it a lot, and I loved all three of its ships (though the psychopath/his victim from the rival family were the ones who won my heart). I was always interested in mafia settings, and finally I have something to scream about)

The CIA director confirmed that the US has suspended arms sales and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

John Ratcliffe said he looks forward to lifting the pause and 'working with Ukraine towards peace' following Volodymyr Zelensky's message to the US president.

Working towards peace = helping russians kill more Ukrainians and thus pressing the rest to surrender.

Fucking ghoul.

[typicalher]

If you're in danger/need money at all please let us know. I will donate money if you need it!

Thank you so much for being concerned about me! <3 While my financial situation is not very good, it's not bad either, so please don't worry about it.

I always welcome support, and I still lack words to properly thank those who support me with their Patreon donations - this makes such a tremendous difference in my life. However, I also have a job, so my basic needs are being met.

I tend to save up a bit to go away for a couple of days every 3-4 months - this is an unnecessary expense, but it helps me improve my mental state to an extent. I practically live for these short vacations. This is what financial support allows me to have.

So, it's not critical - I have food, water, a roof over my head, and the ability to feed my pet babies. Donations are extremely welcome but not necessary.

[typicalher]

Are you okay? x

Another ask: I've been checking your page every few hours. I truly hope you are safe from this latest attack

Another ask: I am so sorry to see about the attacks. I hope you and your family are okay. Please update us if there's anything we can do

Ask from @nymphkoi: My heart feels so heavy for you. I've been following you for years and feel somewhat blessed you are okay, but I still feel so helpless for the things people lost and the people lost in this war. I hope you will be okay and you have all my well wishes

Hello! Thank you all so much for being here for me. The attacks happen daily, but when I make a post about it, it means that I'm really desperate and close to breaking down. Seeing the words of your support and care helps a lot.

That was the largest drone attack to date. In fact, in the last 27 days, Russia has sent 3700 deadly missile-like drones at us. This is more than what it used throughout the entire 2023.

I wanted to post an update sooner, but by the time I was ready to do it, another attack happened, and then another, and then another one. There hasn't been a quiet night in many months. The new attack is coming now, too, but for now, things are peaceful where I am.

Thank you a lot, I can't express enough how much I appreciate all of you.

[typicalher]

Under a terrible massive attack.

[typicalher]

Sometimes I see this misunderstanding and I'd like to clarify it. When Ukrainian say "russian drones/shahed drones/iranian drones," we don't mean this kind of drones:

We mean THIS kind of drones that can carry a warhead and are essentially used as missiles:

While they're not as large, destructive and difficult to intercept as, say, ballistic missiles, they can still cause significant damage. Russia launches them at us every night, but most are successfully shot down.
