hello!!! i've been a fan of your gc content for a while now, absolute jumpscare when i saw the reblogs on my art😭 my thoughts are still not coherent but I will try!!
your gc fics are so. SOOOOO good. oh my god. I've been rereading the fics in the useless drabbles series (+tiots) since you posted them, i love them so so so much!! the way you wrote these guys is more canon to me than the game itself hahaaaa...i think about them WAY too often.... the way you write baldinar just gets him SO right and your writing really evokes all of the crazy emotions his lore induces..........oooouuhgh. like there's barely anyone making content for this trash can fire and the old elf man but here you are!! the saving grace of us baldinar/grandiel enjoyers!! your fics are just. i go back and reread them pretty often just to be brought back to the feeling i had when I first read them!!! it never goes away, every reread I notice something else super awesome!!!
every time I need to be struck down by lighting (thoughts about The Blorbos) I go back and reread them or look at your gc art posts, it neverrr fails :)
idk if any of that made any sense but! the point was you are Very Very Cool ™ to me and I absolutely did freak out once I saw your blog in my notifs 😭
Thank you sooo much for the tags on my art posts!! I'm so so glad you like them :DDD

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOY THEM SROBS
we've been in GC hell for these two gay idiots specifically since like 2015 so like, i gotta come back around to think about them and rotate them in my brain every few years at minimum LMAO
(we've technically been in GC hell since 2008 but to be fair, we didn't get the hints of grandiel and baldinar having History until around 2014-15ish with kounat's collapse)
kog sure won't lmaooo. i mean i guess baldinar has been mentioned in the t timeline but these mfers can't even give us SR kyle so i can't trust them to give a shit about writing baldinar and grandiel, esp. when the addition of town girl felt so much to me like kog desperately trying to straightwash baldinar then HORRIFICALLY FAILING because they managed to make baldinar just come across as a disaster of a bisexual in denial.
WHICH IS TO SAY i am SO SO honored to hear you enjoy our fics so much, and am always happy to reblog community art ;_;
i also feel like i gotta apologize since we're like the kingg of abandoned fics ASDFLKANSDFLKANSDF
i do still have all our outline mats for IEF, but i don't think heit (the main member of our system working on tiots) ever wrote an outline so much as just went for straight Vibes with that one LMAO
IEF has a 10k outline though because i remember spending like almost 3 months just combing the wiki over and over, writing down a timeline of events, then translating that into a chapter outline, and then figuringg out which character stories i wanted to write corresponding chapters for (with the thought that those chapters would serve as vignette length versions of the character stories)
so for example, uhhhh, one of the chapters in the latter half is baldinar hiring fermat so i had to have a lot of notes about where/when/why any of these projects would occur
(we never really got a satisfactory answer from kog about like. why the fuck they did cloning experiments. absolutely wild thing to do with zero additional context.)
UH. ANYWAYS.
SPIDERMAN POINTING MEME.
we legit didn't realize anyone cared about our fics and like hearing your thoughts on them has me like the wettest cat emoji you can imagine.
this series is super close to our heart and writing fanfic for it is how we ended up getting a BA in creative writing. (i mean not writing fanfic for the BA but like it is the reason we write at all.) like, GC has so many interesting ideas but never really commits to them, so that dissatisfaction is what fueled our decision to pursue a BA.
we were also writing fanfiction so hard about GC (that never saw the light of day thank god) that we ended up just starting our own original fantasy series because it would be easier ASDFLKANSDFLKNAS. nothing published yet but like, going back to my roots while editing one of the novels we have in our log is wild.
