it’s been so longgggggg (its me, the ASHWAH acronym bitch)
i’ve been refusing to watch Season 2 because ASHWAH is canon in my head 🤷♀️ I did watch the first episode but I just pictured that Reader didn’t make it into any scenes 🤪
ALSO i said a while back that I was in the works of creating the house that I pictured when reading your story, and i wanted to let you know it’s finished! i made it on both my fancy shmancy home designing app AND the Sims4 😂
my tag is: Miss_Serendipity and the build is called the Jackson house.
(if you don’t have the Sims 4, lmk and i will send you screencaps!!!)
ALSOOOO THE BOOK BINDING 😫♥️😍
girl if you ever wanted to sell these I would be your first buyerrrrrr! i wanna experience it in a physical copy so bad 😭
hope all is well!!! going to be rereading ASHWAH on my trip this weekend 🥰
OMG HIIIIIIIIII MY LOVE😭😭😭😭sobs it's so good to see you!!!! I think of your legacy whenever I use the acronym, you're an icon
big same, I am also refusing to watch season 2 JFKDL. For multiple reasons (I have friends updating me and I'm keeping tabs on it but I'm just personally not a fan of a lot of things), but thinking of watching all that with ASHWAH reader in my head makes my heart hurt so bad
AHHHH I REMEMBER!!!!! That's so incredible!!! I wanted to send a pic of Joel & my ASHWAH reader as Sims in the house but I couldn't find the build in my gallery? Idk if I'm doing something wrong, but I looked up both plot name & your tag but couldn't find it sobs. But please send me screencaps, I'm so eager to see!! That is fr the coolest thing ever I'm so exciteddd!!
ISN'T IT STUNNING oh god it's my prized possession! Haha, if I ever become a published author someday you will get a copy of whatever book I write!
hope you're good too and that you enjoy/enjoyed your reread🥰🥰
watching tlou 2 and all I can picture is ASHWAH and I’m so happy
RAAAAAH IM SO HAPPY YOURE HAPPY 🥹🥹 I haven’t watched yet and idk when/if I will but from the bits I’ve been seeing, Jackson absolutely warms my heart and makes me homesick for it all
Hii, I’m the one who’s been rereading ASHWAH and commenting on AO3 (once again I LOVE the story and your writing omg). I also love your ASHWAH one shots especially the lingerie one.
Idk if you’ve answered this before, but I remember a while back you saying in your head there was an optional future where the reader character gets pregnant. Would you ever write about that one day?
Omg hi!!! Thank you so much for leaving comments on your reread, every one that popped into my inbox made me smile!! I love seeing people come back to read it again 🥹
At this point I don’t think I would write that out, it’s a fun potential future to think about for them though! But I did write a little piece a while back of Joel thinking about the possibility!! Thank you for asking 💜💜
Do you ever plan on writing maybe a little pregnancy one shot for our ASHWAH babies? 🥺🫶🏽
So I did actually write a little something playing
OMG. ASHWAH was one of my favorite fics. Mazzy Star came on the other day and it hit me where the title came from 😭❤️
AHHHH yes!!! I originally had a lyric from cowboy like me as the title for ASHWAH before I started posting it, but I switched to Fade Into You because I wanted a song that would have existed in the canon timeline & that I felt like Joel would have listened to/would play on guitar 🥰💜💜 now I get really emotional whenever I hear the song haha!!
I've been reading ASHWAH over on ao3 for the last week, omg Doni (can i call you doni? lol) I can't put it down. I can't even read any other fics hahah Your writing is so amazing, it makes me feel all the feels <3 MC slowly peeling back her layers of grief and how letting someone else into that vulnerable corner of her mind is helping her agsas;kajsgd
Because even if you couldn’t bear the thought of losing it, you also couldn’t bear the thought of not holding on to it now.
What was the fucking point of all this love, all this life, if the only thing you could think about was dying for it?
Maybe resigning yourself to that fate of dying for them, dying before them, wasn’t enough anymore.
Maybe instead of being committed to leaving them for that final act of love, you should dedicate yourself to coming home to them instead.
This part, it gutted me.
I could ramble on and on about everything, but I'll leave it at this. Thank you so much for putting this out in the world!
Ps. I also l o v e the playlists (#swiftielananationrise)
omg hi!!!!! thank you so much for sending me this, I live off of people's reactions to my fics haha and I'm so happy it's made you feel all the feels <3 the ASHWAH MC is very close to my heart so I'm always overjoyed when people care about her and her story. also SO giddy you love the playlists!!! I love making them hehe!
i absolutely adored your tension building, the mutual pining and the slow burn between joel and reader in ASHWAH (and in but you know the killer doesn’t understand)
the hesitation between joel and reader in a stranger’s heart series specifically during the bathroom scene, the graveyard, joel’s birthday and the halloween party…..you can feel the hesitation in their actions before reader decides to continue looking thru joel’s house to find him, when joel sees reader at the graveyard, when reader finds joel in his bed after his birthday party, and then when they spot each other at the halloween party. the way they both contemplate the decision in their heads and go thru with it anyway because they understand each other and understand this sadness that they can read off each other (before they knew what it was). despite trying to keep each other at arm’s length they still couldn’t not get attached and i thought how you wrote that was just IMPECCABLE. truly have never read anything like it. you’re mind is just…. *MWAH* chefs kiss.
(this was so long fuck im sorry) (i was gonna talk about BYKTKDU but this got too long ahhh)
Non are you after my heart? Because you have it. You hold it in your hands. It’s yours. Take all my love it's all YOURS!!
Please never ever apologize for writing long asks, they are not only such a joy to read, but they are a giant inspiration! And also I love to discuss things and have lots of thoughts at all times, so I will almost always guaranteed write something just as long or longer back!
Sweet non, beautiful soul, I love seeing ASHWAH through your eyes! You get them!! You understand them so well, and god that's the purest form of joy as a writer.
There is so much hesitation from both of them throughout the series, but they are constantly growing closer together, chapter by chapter. Those scenes you highlighted are by far some of the most important shows of that, especially the graveyard and Joel's birthday!
"before they knew what it was" that's it!!! That's the entire story at its core!!! They know each other somehow before they even realize it. I really tried to make the pacing a slow burn, but still have progress and payoffs with each chapter, so thank you for saying this 💜
(if you ever want to talk about BYKTKDU why do I make my titles so damn long please feel free to reach out!! I'm so grateful for you🥺💜)
just sending my reactions here too…give you my wild, give you a child made me explode.
thanks for that. i will be crying myself to sleep tonight while dreaming of the two lovebirds and them having a baby. it was nice knowing yall!!!!
(if i end up dead in a ditch one day i want everyone to know that it’s doni’s fault) (ily doni but what the fuck. im not well.)
NOELLE GET OVER HERE tumblr isn't enough I need to give you a hug and a smooch on the forehead!!!!! Thank you so much for reading and for absolutely spoiling me with a comment, ask and reblog?! You've made me such a happy writer 🥺💜
In the middle of reading ASHWAH and drop in on tumblr to see you are still active…crying shitting throwing up I need to consume all of your content
HIIIIIII yes I am still very active hehe!! I'm working on crossposting everything I've shared on here onto ao3 and I'm shamefully a million years behind replying to comments on there, but yes, I am here! Thank you for dropping in and for reading ASHWAH 💜
