hai :] I wanted to say how much I am LOVING Terra's Grace <3333 it's made me cry many happy tears. I'm looking forward to each new update!! As someone who worked as a teacher for a bit, it's become such a special story to me. So lovely to see a classroom atmosphere so accurately and beautifully captured. Thank you for your writing <333

PS I even sent it to my sister (who barely frequents fandom spaces) and she loved it too :]]]]

ahhhhhh thank you so much!!!!! I'm trying my best to make the classroom scenes very accurate from my own experiences working in a middle school classroom + in general with kids and teens, and I'm really happy it's coming across so well. And I'm flattered and delighted that you sent it to your sister and that she enjoyed it too! Thank you!!!!! <3

May we all know decadence such as this

grumbles quietly. i know better than to say this in the author note on the actual chapter, which i'm formatting now, but i feel like this might be the least strong chapter of terra's grace i've written so far. possibly bc i rushed to add a whole scene to it so that it would have more than 5k words + would have a flashback/biography section. and i'm generally pleased w how that second scene turned out, but it just doesn't feel as strongly connected to the present plot as the flashbacks/biography in other chapters have

love when ocs grab you by the shoulders and tell you something essential to their lore without you getting a say in it

voice of someone who can't conceive of possible relationship dynamics outside of "nuclear family of a romantic partner and their kids/pets" looking at two best friends, one of whom is happily also romantically partnered but whose relationship with the best friend is given absolute equal weight and importance and meaning as the romantic relationship: so the best friend is their dog, right?

[hopefulqueer]

like, I know most ppl think of ppl who aren't in traditional romantic relationships as being less mature and in extreme cases less human. but did they have to say the quiet part out loud?

I actually think it's kinda fucked up that I can't listen to an audiobook and read a print book at the same time

To be quite honest with you all I do think that aro/ace-spectrum fans in fandoms where people are desperately inventing crossover ships and humanizing non-human characters in order to have a conventionally attractive guy to ship the main character with, instead of possibly having to enjoy a story with no romance in it, have the right to refer to everyone else as cowards.

Sorry you almost had to entertain the idea that people like me exist, I'm sure that was very painful for you.
