Hello! So I was finishing my semester here and couldn’t give you some words of support earlier, but I’d like to say that I’m really happy you reached the 100th mark in your lovely story 💕 and also that I find it good you decided to take a break to “get yourself together” and not give in to the pressure 💕 you’re an amazing writer and I’m really really really glad I can read your story, so here *BEARHUUUUUGS, and take your time, yes? Take a good rest but have no moony nightmares please 🙈💛
this is just the sweetest thing I’ve ever received and I just kept this message in my inbox for like a week so I could reread it over and over again bc it never fails to make me smile ahhhh thank you so much, sweetheart!! it means a great deal to me to have that much support and it makes me want to work twice as hard to get back to you with another chapter (which btw will be out tomorrow ;3c)
bc you’re so kind and made me so happy, here’s a little preview of what’s to come next on dazzle me with gold:
"Say, Vitya, my dear," she speaksas she sets her cup on the saucer with a sweet click of porcelain, "whatdo you plan to do with this peasant? Because he is one, no? It's clear to see:he can't dance, he can't speak properly, even his face is so–" She waves ahand while her nose wrinkles in distaste, "–rustic. And that is putting it mildly. I am curious then as towhat you plan for this boy? Is he your charity case? Are we to be a boardinghouse for uncouth farmers now, my son?"
Every word out of her mouth has Victor grithis teeth more. There has been little love in him for his mother for many yearsnow, little less so ever since he returned home, but in this moment, Victorrealizes how little there truly is left: because there is none. It's only cold, heartless fury that settles inside him as helooks at the woman whom he has always called his mother.
"You are insulting the man I love, Iwill have you know," Victor replies, voice as icy as his glare. "Heis much more than you realize and you are blind, blinded by your own greed andapparent stature, if you dare speak of him in such a way."
vitya’s mom showing her claws? more likely than you think! victor standing up for his life and love? CANON
but that is neither here nor there bc it’s still quite a few chapters away from where we’ve left off and I hope you’ll stick around to see how and why this all came to be 😘😘
