hi!! Just wanted to pop by after see in your tumblr handle in your notes on a03. I spent an entire morning reading your fic (FCAF)! I had soo many things to be doing, important adult things, but I absolutely could not put it down it was so so good. It maybe sabotaged my day but in the best possible way, so thank you! The last chapter wrecked me and I got so scared when I saw it was posted in 2021, thought for a heart wrenching moment it was abandoned and came here frantically to check! And am soo relieved that it is life that is creating a little pause in the story (and beautiful things like houses and husbands and babies). Love that for you! Just want you to know your story is still finding and delighting people! I am now joining the list of people who will be happily and patiently waiting to dive back into it whenever you’re ready! Xoxo

the last chapter was posted in 2021... omg. i am such a LOSER 😭

but i am delighted that it delighted you. thank you so much for taking the time to come tell me!! i miss my little story and occasionally work on it still but it's a lot with a new baby, i'm still figuring out how to be his mom and also a person besides that. i'm getting there and so is fcac, definitely not abandoned!

[moonawrites]

i was just thinking about fcac and had to pop over to say HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL and thank you once again for blessing us with something so lovely xx

Hello! Thank you 🥹 I am doing well. I had a baby who is 5 months old now! Really rough recovery and adjustment but I'm adjusting to my new life and feeling a lot better now and my baby is the cutest little guy 💕

and the fact that even slight criticism of kamala, the public servant we’re expected to elect as the PRESIDENT of our COUNTRY as the PROGRESSIVE option, is seen as immediate unwavering support of trump….. yall cannot actually be this stupid, i don’t want to believe i

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

If they had done things differently they could have been happy, but to do things differently would require them to be someone else.

i want to echo mystifiedmess! fcac got me through the worst of my emotions during the pandemic, and i feel like i know the story from back to front and your james/lily intimately. i will continue to wait for the next chapter eagerly, and can't wait to make a day of re-reading it in its entirety too!

Thank you so much, it honestly means the world to mw 🥹 I can't believe + I'm so glad that something that got me through some of my worst emotions can do a bit of the same for others.

[moonawrites]

hiiii i hope you're having a good day and congrats on the baby and everything else, pregnancy is a LOT of work and it's truly such a labor of love, i hope you're taking adequate care of yourself

basically i wanted to say that i recently read a fic which was finished in 10 years and while i had to wait only the last two years to find the end of story, there were people that were patiently waiting for 10 years. tbh I hadn't even realised that the story had been updating for so long (found that out in final authors note) and all the comments were lovely on it bc the story was so good .

the same way fcac is so good, i read that story before pandemic and it instantly connected with something about the james potter in it spoke to me and trust me i wouldn't mind waiting 10 years for completion of this story bc it's a good story and it's not something that leaves you. it stays with you ( im so serious here i haven't picked up that story in almost a year and half for reread and i cab still quote it's scenes) it doesn't leave you. so whenever you'll update it, I'll be there with hot cocoa(winter) or refreshing coolant (in summers) rereading from beginning again and making a day out of it.

i hope you relax these days and just take care of yourself

Thank you so much!! I am taking good care of myself.

This is so sweet and kind and comforting. Just such a nice thing to say. I genuinely appreciate it so much. I honestly can't believe that people still care about my story even now, and even if you alone are the only person who waits around to read it, I will appreciate it and it would make finishing the story worth it. Thank you for loving fcac 🥹

I am curious to know which fic was recently finished? I have been out of the loop with fandom for a while but I still think about some of the fics I was reading that were never finished and it would be a happy surprise to find out one of them was completed!

life is weird because last week it was 2018 i was 22 and kinda depressed and going into my final year of university and i started writing a silly little fanfiction about james and lily and football to comfort myself.... and now it's somehow 2024 and i'm 28 and kind of like.... an adult ? since the start of fcac we collectively went through a pandemic, i went through a couple years of floating directionless and increasingly depressed... and now i've got a grown up job, a husband, i bought a house and i'm pregnant?? in my brain i still feel like a teenager or early 20-something but a lot of life has happened these last few years! especially the last 2. it's been a little more than 3 years since the last fcac update which is kind of embarrassing but i've done a lot and changed a lot since then.

anyways. hello :) this was a random little life update because some new reviews on fcac and other things came in that made me really miss the story and this comforting space that got me through so much misery. i promise i haven't dropped the story, i think about it daily and am really looking forward to having some time to get back to writing. as you can see, i've been busy! i'll probably stay busy (i hear babies are a lot of work or something?) but i've been opening up the fcac files a lot lately and itching to finish it.

i love u jimin

when you look back on atrocities in our history, all the genocides, and think "how did people let this happen?" and then you see israel bomb a children's hospital with white phosphorus and wipe entire family trees from existence and level entire residential neighborhoods in seconds but it's those of us saying palestinians are human beings that get threatened with losing our livelihoods and you're like, oh yeah. like this.

humanity is a failure and some global catastrophe wiping us all out would be a mercy.

[lambpaca]

Do NOT!!! EVER!!! TAKE THE ECO-FASCIST WAY OUT OF THIS.

HUMANITY IS NOT THE FUCKING PROBLEM.

HUMANITY IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

Saying shit like this makes it easier for victims to remain victims, and violence to occur because you've resigned yourself to it. Thatis EXACTLY what the colonizers want. That is EXACTLY what causes these things to happen.

OP, this is a VERY slippery slope to even more racism and genocide and you better take this back and learn something right the fuck now.

[moonawrites]

y'all keep reminding me why i only use tumblr for my fanfiction readers and nothing else. y'all don't know how to act like people on this app

[moonawrites]

I don't know how to put words to my feelings. I've never felt devastation this deep, constant, all consuming, acute.

I am constantly crying or on the verge of tears these days, and the way my heart hurts only reminds me of what a miniscule fraction this pain is compared to what Palestinians are feeling. My heart just keeps shattering, it feels so heavy I don't want to carry it anymore. I feel hopeless and helpless and small. And yet...

What a mercy it is that my heart bleeds like this. May it always stay this soft. I can't imagine being amongst the monsters with their stone hearts, able to go on with their lives like millions haven't been lost or irrevocably destroyed in a matter of days. What a curse to be physically human but have so little humanity in you.

When it gets tempting to turn your phone off and let your life keep moving, remember this. Stay tuned in because Palestinians can't just turn this catastrophic destruction off, it is their every moment, every day... and stay tuned in for the sake of your humanity. A hurting heart is a human heart. Right now, a peaceful heart is shameful, it's a curse, it's a sickness.

May our hearts always stay soft. May we never succumb to apathy, because apathy is the death of humanity.

Long live Palestine. May no one know peace until Palestine has peace.

[moonawrites]

like i posted about my complete devastation and disillusionment seeing the way the world is responding to a genocide and between the zionists telling me palestinians do deserve to get slaughtered i've got tumblr warriors ignoring the point of the post (GENOCIDE!????!!!!) and instead telling me to fuck myself for not writing poetry about the good in humanity. the cognitive dissonance is incredible. you're not even capable of showing compassion while imploring people to see how compassionate humanity is do i have to spell the irony out for you.

tbvh? fuck the losers in the reblogs and replies ignoring the point of the post and going on about "fuck ecofacists" bitch fuck YOU. i'm not an ecofacist. i posted in a moment of extreme grief and rage watching unconscionable atrocities be committed against an occupied population while the entire fucking world demonized them and prayed for their occupiers instead. sorry my heart hurt. y'all are so damn nasty like if you can't relate to the grief i feel then good for you, fuck off my post and rant somewhere else. this is not a safe space for your bullshit, this is an expression of grief and frankly i don't care if you think it's dramatic, i think y'all are pieces of shit for not having enough compassion to at least give people space to feel their pain when you don't feel shit yourselves, and on top of that have the audacity to preach your moral superiority on our posts.

while you psychopaths have been busy on tumblr telling grieving people to "fuck themselves with a cactus" (like do you not realize what an absolute piece of shit you are commenting THAT on a post like THIS?) i've been out protesting every week, writing to my government representatives, posting every update on my instagram so the people i know are aware of what's happening, going to fundraising events in my city etc etc maybe y'all should take a break from being pretentious emotion police on tumblr and go outside to be a human being too
