how have your partner and daughter coped with your illness? i wish i could give your family all the money in the world.

I tend not to talk much about my partner & daughter here, for the sake of privacy, but I will say that it hasn't been easy for them. They've both been so incredibly strong, caring and supportive though, I'm eternally grateful to them. My friends have also been so kind and thoughtful, and have gone out of their way to keep my spirits up. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.

Please don't worry about my finances Anon, I'm very fortunate to live in a country where healthcare is free at the point of need, so although I've been in and out of hospital for the last two years, I haven't had to pay for any medical expenses. (Though I do pay my taxes of course.) I shudder to think what the cost of all these consultants, oncologists, scans, tests, radiotherapy, medications, etc. would have been otherwise. I realise I'm in a very privileged position here and I'm so thankful that I've been able to receive such amazing care without having to worry about the cost.

Now all I need to do is to get properly well so I can repay all that kindness 💕

Thank you for your lovely message Anon ❤️

This is really random but I've been following you for almost 10 years (this hurt to write lol, where did the time go?) and even though I don't often come on tumblr nowadays, when I do I'm always glad to see your posts/reposts. You single-handedly keep my interest in aot and those characters alive. Idk why I'm being nostalgic, I just thought maybe one day I won't see you on my timeline anymore (this sounds ominous but I mean if you decide to quit tumblr) and I'll be sad then. It's such a strange, funny constant to have but it's nice... anyway, sorry for the weird message ahah have a nice day or night!

Thank you so much Anon. This really is the kindest, sweetest message. Fandom really is the most wonderous thing when it enables people to make connections like this across the years. It means the world to me💕

Lost I am BEGGING you to tell us the modern day accents you picture the boys to have!! (Just saw the post you reblogged from tsuki 🤭)

As a proud Scot, it pains me to say this, but I usually imagine Erwin as having a pretty neutral English accent. Not posh Received Pronunciation, but “well spoken” middle class, middle English. Levi is trickier. I imagine him having a definite accent, but one that’s really hard to pin down to a specific place, primarily because he grew up all over after being dragged around by Kenny. Kenny does have a really strong accent, and Levi tends to sound more like him when he gets really pissed or when he lets his guard down. Erwin is the opposite, when he gets angry his accent becomes very clipped and icily polite. He only swears in front of people he knows very well and rarely in public. Levi of course swears continually, with zero regard for who he might offend. He can also be really softly spoken, though Erwin is one of the few people who knows that.

(sorry if disgusting question) why do slash fic writers rarely mention anything about intestinal cleaning before butt lovemaking happens? was there a tacit fandom agreement to imply but never say? do fics happen in the "everything is the same, except everyone's rectum always ready" AU? nothing dims my ardent love for Large Amounts of diverse-in-positions-and-dynamics erur smuts; am surprised, of hundreds fics i read, maybe one or two mentioned, in a few words, prep taking place???

So there are two answers to this question…The first is that fanfiction is fiction and the main purpose of fiction is not to provide an accurate representation of the world. The main purpose of fiction is to entertain, to move you, to make you think, to turn you on, to make you feel myriad other emotions. Accurate depictions of reality are not a necessity to do any of those things. In fact I’d argue that when it comes to smut, too much realism can get pretty dull pretty quickly. I’d rather read (and write) sex scenes that focus on emotional intensity rather than the mechanics of inserting tab x in slot y. Having said that, everyone has their preferences, and some people do get off on the prep side of anal sex, in which case go for it!

The second answer is that, in real life, not everyone bothers with the specific kind of prep you’re referring to. Some people do, some people don’t, it’s a matter of personal choice rather than the rule of law. It’s ironic that there seems to be a bit of an assumption among some readers that prep absolutely has to happen every single time, even though it’s rarely written explicitly into sex scenes.

One fic I can recommend that does explicitly mention prep, is all your demons and desires and dark sides by brightly burning. Be warned though, in this case the necessity for prep is related to trauma and ptsd, however it’s very sensitively handled.

i'm not sure canon universe Erwin would enjoy black coffee :thinking: specialty plain black coffee is an acquired taste, as is tea, so he'll stick to the night tea club with Levi. Erwin would be the extra cream double syrup desert latte person maybe; i can only see him taking plain black coffee as a laxative. as for the awakefulness, he needs help winding down, not throwing more gas on his burning sympathetic nervous.

Sorry anon, as far as I'm concerned Erwin Smith is a caffeine addict. This is a hill I will die on. Why? Because if he wasn't, he would never have met Levi in Cardamom ☺️

“Just a long black, please.”

The barista looks at him. Erwin looks right back.

“Americano,” he tries instead.

The barista drawls something in Arabic, sounding mildly irritated as he points at the menu. Erwin frowns, not understanding a word – neither from the young man or the chalkboard with its foreign lines and smudged squiggles.

“Coffee,” Erwin clarifies intelligently. He’s hot, he’s tired, he’s confused. He just wants caffeine as soon as possible.

The barista lifts his small chin up, grey eyes sharp. Erwin vaguely registers that he is much older than his short stature and slim build had initially led him to presume. He hisses something and Erwin thinks he hears a word that sounds like coffee. Progress.

“Ah…”

Someone on a nearby bench puts their book aside with a smack, glasses glimmering in the light.

“What kind of coffee, idiot,” they grin. Their English has an accent he can’t place.

Erwin turns toward them.

“Excuse me?”

They point at the barista.

“That’s what he said.”

Erwin sighs out his relief.

“Can you tell him anything will do, as long as it’s strong?”

They communicate this to the barista, who huffs and mutters something to himself as he turns around to his coffee machine.
