hope you're okay :'D

Omg hi! Sorry for replying so late to this! 😭

Yes, I'm okay! Thank you for checking in on me 🥺

I've started a new job in September, and it's been a lot of new impressions and stressful times. I don't have much free time right now *sobs*

I'm still writing however, but my own novel/comic script, not fanfics rn. And Natlan made me come close to killing my Genshin mood altogether ngl.

I've mostly been playing games or drawing in my free time.

[dustofthedailylife]

dust!!!! omg i’ve missed seeing you on my dash :( i hope you’ve been well <3

AAAAH, hi there!! I missed you too! 🥺🥰

I've been alright mostly, just stressed due to having so much work with the occasional sprinkle of my body caving in and getting sick (so pretty much the usual) 🙂‍↕️

Hope you've been well, too <3

[dustofthedailylife]

It's that time of the year! Do you have a tree I could write a message in? Kindly, a moot

Hillo mysterious mootie, I do actually! :3 🩷

You can find it here (I used a different site than last year, I think? Give it a minute to load, took a bit to load for me the first time sdjhfksdjh)

Weee!! I'm surprised someone still remembers me actually. I know kinda vanished off the face of the earth because *life* happened and I've mostly sunk the little time I had into drawing and reading light novels lately /pos 🥺

[dustofthedailylife]

happy birthday!! i hope that all your wishes this year come true and that you're blessed with many more fulfilling years to come <3

~ nessa ♡

Oop- one day late to my own birthday message 🫠 Sowwy ;_; I wasn't on my computer all day yesterday.

But thank you so much!! Seeing your ask made me really happy 😭🩷

OMG THIS HAS BEEN IN MY INBOX FOR ALMOST A MONTH! I'M SO SORRY!! 😭

I've been refueling plenty of the past week since I finally got my degree. I've mostly been sleeping, tidying up my apartment, gardening, baking, more sleeping (god I'm so tired atm istg).

Thank you for your sweet message, ying!! Even though I only got to it now, I appreciate it greatly. Sending you the biggest internet huggies 🩷

[dustofthedailylife]

DUST! i missed you! ଘ(੭´ ˘ `)੭ biggest congratulations on graduating and getting your degree!!!! 🤍🩷♥️✨

WAAAH, GRAY THANK YOU!! 🩷🥰

I missed you too!! I hope you've been well!

[dustofthedailylife]

Hello my loves! 🍁

It's been a while (once again... sowwy). Sorry for being MIA for so long.

This year has been so stressful and busy for me but I'm happy to announce that I finally graduated and have my degree! 🥹

It still hasn't quite sunken in that I'm done with uni and it will probably take a little while longer.

I already applied for a legal clerkship and will have to do that for the next two years should I get the position that opens in September and if I don't have to wait longer. It will be a new chapter of my life that I'm both anxious about (especially financially since it's gonna be expensive af and my pay is gonna be absolutely ass) but also look forward to since I'm going to learn new things.

I could go on an extended rant about how my oral exams and everything was so late and how I had to basically do backflips blindfolded while running at high speed to get my application out in time, but that's a story for another time or if it interests you, shoot me an ask 🫶🏻

Either way, I hope you all have been well!

I miss you lot and I hope so much that I'll finally get some time to write something again soon because, gosh, I miss writing too 😭

The shiba is a representation of my current mood. I feel really happy atm.

My bf just called me to tell me that his professor sent him the evaluation for his master's thesis and he got a 1.0 (FYI, that's the highest it can go. There is nothing above that. It's literally perfect essentially.)

I could cry, I'm so happy for him!! He's such a smart cookie.

I'm still waiting for my grades (it's been three months... 🥲)

[dustofthedailylife]

DSHFKDHF????? I NEED???? SO BAD????

There are also Cyno and Tighnari versions. There is also perfume and omg I want to know how it smells so badly /smacked.

That's it.

That's the post.

Wriothesley is often displayed as the flirty tease in fics.

But, hear me out... imagine an oblivious and insecure Wrio who interprets every flirt and hint you send his way as simple politeness because he has never experienced genuine love in his life before.

He simply doesn't fathom that anyone would ever feel for him this way, nor does he believe he is deserving of it.

[dustofthedailylife]

Remind me to never EVER EVER do this again.

I lost every single 50/50 for this bitc- handsome man *cough* Is it because I'm a Kaveh kinnie, Haitham? Is it that???

All 7 copies of him were on a 50/50 loss. I cannot believe this.

But at least my favs are complete now! 🩷

Also tight hugs are the easiest way to his heart. But you didn't hear that from me 👀

[dustofthedailylife]

seeing aiden again and i'm just.... i need aiden crumbs dust, DUST I'M BEGGINGGGGGGGGGGGG

Aiden crumbs you say. What can I reveal without spoiling too much of my story... 🧐

He hates smoking but smokes when he gets stressed.

Always appears put together and stern to everyone outside but bottles up a lot of emotions he never dares to let slip around anyone (if he cries - he does so alone where no one can see him. He thinks he has to do everything alone and hence never dares to show that he is vulnerable)

The cat he owns he found on the street and nurtured it back to health (reminded him of how he was picked up all beat up and hungry when he was thrown into the slums).

The cat's name is Pixel. (Because he is a tech nerd)

insomniac - he frequently has vivid dreams of the moment his brother was killed in front of his eyes.

Stays up most nights and barely gets any sleep because he 1. can't and 2. is trying to find the people who are behind his brother's death.

yeah, essentially trauma galore. If anyone needs a hug it's him (he'd never admit it).

Has a sweet tooth and loves everything with a citrus-flavor.

He also loves coffee.

The deep scar he has across his face is more sensitive to touch than the rest of his face (he hates it).

He is very very tidy. If anything is out of place in his apartment it drives him insane. Everything has its dedicated spot. He can't work at a cluttery workbench (he's human augmentations engineer graduate - I think I mentioned that before).
