genuinely i don’t think it’s possible to easily explain the explicit part of online friendships to people who don’t Understand. i don’t mean like, explicit in the sense of “oh you’re sexting” or whatever. no. i mean when you and your friend start gleefully making up explicit sexual scenarios for your shared blorbos and you get giddier and giddier as you add more detail and you’ll be grinning at your screen as you type away at mach speeds. and it’s entirely nonsexual in an interpersonal sense, you’re not really getting Into it, but ohhhhh it’s soooooo fun and satisfying. and you can NEVER tell someone who doesn’t also do this that your mood is actively improved like fivefold because you and your friend played Sexual Tuoys together because they’ll go “what the FUCK.”

Helloooo I don’t have an ao3 account but I just read your bodyswap hr fic for the.. third time?? I think?? And wowowowowww I love it

Ok bye bye have an awesome day ✌🏻

this is so sweet :’) writing the bodyswap fic with @weteddie was a freaking trip. if i remember correctly we wrote it in one sitting, sustaining our momentum by eating toasties and frozen sweet corn. thank you so much for reading it! <3

hi !! i had to stalk you down on tumblr to let you know that Loving This Body is so addictive i am in awe 😍 i can't believe it was written by 2 people, it flows so amazingly well. all of the details are perfect, especially how they discover so much about each other just thru their phones, and it was so beautiful to see them so much closer and mutually in love at the end 🥲 i fear this is going to be the start of me reading everything you and cj have ever written 🤭

oh my goodness aaah! thank you so much 😝 i’m so glad you enjoyed it! cj and i are currently on a 9-1-1 kick but rest assured we will be returning to HR soon… <3

[jothebeetle]

how did you and cj meet!! i love y’alls frienship & content! read an author’s note where you said you had written for 18 hours that day and i am in AWE and also begging for a How To Write That Much For Dummies book

hi omg!! it’s a LONG story but i’d actually only talked to cj over the phone twice before i flew 30 hours across the world to see him. because i’m crazy. ahshshs no but i had a Lot going on in my life and needed to get away, so i asked my (then) barely-acquaintance if i could come visit. 2 trains, 3 flights, and a taxi later i was literally as far away as i could be from home.

within the first hour of meeting cj, he’d made me laugh so hard i legitimately started crying. i hadn’t slept in 24 hours. i was So Hungry. we tentatively approached the idea of writing together, pulled our laptops out, and just like that, an alliance was formed.

(he fed me first.)

(he’s such an incredibly generous person. and he’s SO FUNNY. don’t ever let him tell u he’s not.)

we basically hunkered down. it turned out we think similarly enough to read each other’s minds, and differently enough to spark delight with every proposed, half-coherent idea we tossed out. we knew exactly how to communicate our thoughts to maximise efficiency. like, holy shit we wrote fast. 20k in one sitting fast. bananas. we had SO many bits going. and everything we posted performed pretty well, so we kept at it. and now we’re working on an original project (!!).

our biggest asset was, of course, time. we had two weeks to lock in and do whatever we wanted — so we chose to make our main focus writing. so! cliche, but my advice is: keep at it! and read as much as you can! write down phrases that make you feel something (examine them, figure out WHY they evoke the emotion they do), get yourself a usage dictionary(!!!), and alternate between fan fiction and published literature. don’t stick to one medium (aka don’t neglect your other hobbies)— if you like music, drawing, photography — do that too! so much inspiration can be found in simply experiencing your life. most importantly, let yourself have fun before you criticise your work.

and sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll find someone like-minded to write with :D

in between visiting cj and returning home, we’ve grown so close. i consider him one of my closest friends. my lover but not… a true queer alliance… we‘ve captained a boat together, sang Loudly and Badly on the same couch, watched heated rivalry with slack jaws… it’s safe to say i will be making the 30 hour commute to see him again as soon as i can.

thanks for asking!!! i love talking about cj. he’s the best <3

eddie diaz is my favourite guy in the whole wide world. single dad. army medic. divorced. rizzless. chronic fumbler. hopeless romantic. ass to waist ratio of 3:1. colossal failure of a man. most competent guy in the room. makes terrible impulse financial decisions. coolest chillest guy youll ever meet. anxious neurotic cringefail loser. eats pussy like a champ. has dated a grand total of three and a half women in the 30-something years hes been alive. hasnt had sex in over a year now despite the fact that not fucking leaves him too pent up to function. doesnt believe in ghosts in a world where ghosts are canonically real. catholic who doesnt believe in god. undeniably cursed but doesnt believe in curses. everyone in the whole wide world thinks hes gay but he is oblivious to this. joined an underground fight club. worked as an uber driver. hates his therapist. was a teenage ballroom dance champion who couldve gone pro. undiagnosed for every mood disorder. has beef with his gay ex-coworker. used to drive a gmc sierra denali but now he drives a prius. technophobe. petty bitch. widower. doesnt even know hes in love with his best friend. i cannot stress enough how absurd the ass to waist ratio is.
