coo!

inspired by @happyhounddeliveries! selfship drabble letters for your time.

[pigeonpostoffice]

REQUESTS CLOSED!

(dividers from here!)

welcome to the pigeon post office, where letters small enough to tie to a bird's leg are sent from your f/os to you!

this is a drabble-based f/o letter blog, where most letters will be 200 words or under! i'm doing this to get better at short-form writing and keep up practice when i have trouble writing big things.

the person running this blog is 20+, and uses it/its pronouns.

the pigeon has no care for pronouns nor age. the pigeon does what the pigeon wants. and what the pigeon wants to do is deliver letters.

you can ask for a letter that will be posted in response to your ask, or you can ask for it to be sent to a specific blog (although as this is a sideblog, that blog must have anons on!), and we will deliver!

thank you to @happyhounddeliveries for the inspiration (and incredible service you're doing for the selfship community!)

click here for a list of blogs in the postal service!

THINGS I AM OKAY WITH/WILL DO: violent or NSFW sources (to my discretion, i may deny a source if i'm uncomfortable with it), horror media, any f/o relationship (romantic, platonic, familial, ect), specific letters to specific people. i'm also happy to write comfort letters if needed!!

THINGS I AM NOT OKAY WITH/WON'T DO: explicitly NSFW letters, letters from media that is hateful or whose creator is bigoted (e.g south park, vivziepop, harry potter). letters from under-18 characters that are suggestive, romantic letters for child/adult relationships, anything involving incest or sexual assault, hate speech of any kind.

i reserve the right to say no to any letter if i feel uncomfortable or unsafe writing it.

also, if i don't know your f/o's source, i will do my best, but i may not get them perfectly. </3

hello pigeon my friend!! just checking in on seeing how you're doing :}

hello anon!

i'll be honest, things have been rough. uni has sort of kicked my ass, and the situation with my friend has worsened- to put it simply, i don't know if she's dead or alive, there is no way to contact her or her family or loved ones, and i haven't had any news since february.

i also ended up having to work through a series of past traumatic events and got myself sick, which also sucked/

that said, i do mean to keep working on letters! they'll come back, i promise. it may be a bit, and keep being slow, but these are a very reassuring thing to be able to do, and it sucks that i can't currently find the mental energy to.

[pigeonpostoffice]

back from visiting partner!! now to engage that homo energy and write some letters

[pigeonpostoffice]

I go visit my partner for a few days and they fuck up the entire website. Okay?

[pigeonpostoffice]

Hi pigeon!! I'd just like to ask if you would be okay with writing for characters from Chainsaw Man? It contains violence as a recurring theme and some other mature themes so I'm just asking for your comfort. You can deny if you'd like -🌙

hiya! sorry for the wait!

i am perfectly fine writing for chainsaw man :0 it's one of those things that seems really cool and i'd love to get into someday!

[pigeonpostoffice]

Hey do you guys wrote for the game franchise postal? Or are the like really bad??

oops, not sure how i missed this!

so, when the question was sent the answer would have been yes, as i didn't know much about it, but a friend tried to get into it and found the casual "edgy" misogyny and general hate-ism disconcerting, which is an opinion i share. i know it's a protagonist you're supposed to hate, but i don't feel comfortable taking on that sort of character- it's one of those "mundane evils" that hit too close to home to feel comfortable sharing.

i am so sorry for the wait and for the answer! thank you for your question and i hope you have a wonderful day.

[pigeonpostoffice]

in case you're wondering how midterms are going, by the way

[pigeonpostoffice]

alright all, thank you for your requests! i'm closing requests for now- the inbox is still open if you want to chat, and you can check if i got your requests through there or DMs!

thank you all again for your patience and support. you're the greatest!

[pigeonpostoffice]

also midterms are coming up and i will be using these letters to relax. this is a mutualistic relationship

[pigeonpostoffice]

hey, if you have letter requests, please get them in soon- i'm gonna shut the inbox for a bit tomorrow afternoon to work on the current requests!

i didnt wanna do this but everything has been a little too stressful lately and i want to be able to focus on these letters without freaking myself out about more coming in (not your guys' fault, i have crazy OCD). i'll open it again once i have a buncha letters done!!

also on my tech adventures: everyone say goodbye to mr. phone. 2022-2026. kicked the bucket yesterday and i'm weirdly super sad about it.

[pigeonpostoffice]

Just opened up something new- @little-bunnies-postcards!

you're on the list!

[pigeonpostoffice]

hallooooo i was wondering if i could be added to the post office list? im over at @thedevilsdeliveries

done!

[pigeonpostoffice]

all post offices who have reached out, the list is going to be updated soon!

signed, a bird whose Adderall prescription has been gotten.

[pigeonpostoffice]

jsyk there are multiple letters in the works rn the pigeon has just run out of Adderall and is waiting for the refill to come in </3

[pigeonpostoffice]

who is out here giving birds and dogs migrane headaches. i have a few words for you

[pigeonpostoffice]

OK hi im the anon that asked about sending requests without a handle (as i’m very very awkward about receiving f/o letters…) .. may i please have a letter from d3rlord3 from the ARG searching for a world that doesn't exist? i have more or less a crush rather than actually being with him ……. thank you in advance ^^)”

well, this is a new one for the pigeon! of course, the yellow tatters that it appears out of aren't unfamiliar, but the way it has to shake off the pixelated edges is sort of new.

the letter in its beak isn't addressed, but i'm sure its recipient knows what to look for.

I don't know why I'm able to write this. Or if you'll see it. Or... who you are. I don't know how you've managed to reach me.

That's pretty commendable in and of itself. I haven't been aware of anyone in a while. I guess I shouldn't have to tell you to stay safe. After all, you seem to be doing a good job of it. But I will.

Like I said, I don't know who you are. But that doesn't stop me from being impressed by you. You are the only other person I can see.

I guess that's strange. But not unwelcome. A little bit of connection. You wouldn't believe it, but it's hard to get any human contact here.

No matter how many layers are between us, just knowing you exist is enough. Whatever you're doing to get to me, I wouldn't mind you doing it a little more.

Stay safe, though. I don't want you falling to this thing like I have.

Whoever you are, whatever you're doing, however you're seeing me- thank you. I feel a little less hopeless with you here. And I can't put into words just how much that means to me.

roughly how many requests are in your inbox? Not rushing you. I’m just genuinely curious how many requests a blog like this gets

currently it's around 128 asks, although a few of them are clarifications or otherwise non-requests! (not counting this one)

i'm planning to possibly close the inbox soon until i have it a little lower ^-^;;
