ereri fanfic recommendations?? (beside your own of course) cuz as any popular ship, everyone writes em differently... but ur characterization is 100%, so senpai... please... recs...
oh!! um... well, i typically don’t read a lot of fics for ships i write, actually, since i don’t want my own ideas to get colored by someone else’s (read: i don’t want to accidentally plagiarize content). so i don’t have any canonverse recs for that reason, but here are some AUs that i really liked!! (some are unfinished/abandoned):
Bemused! , My Old Friend , and Fanboys , all by crunchyRiver’s End by ferricTo Dazzling Darkness by momoBetwixt and Between by tiger
I'm sorry if I'm ignorant but will Run To You be updated again? I haven't been reading your series from the start and idk anything. It's absolutely amazing btw seriously inspiring and beautiful and just yes, yesyesyessyeys
as;ldkfj aaa thank you so much!! yes, i’m still working on it, it’s just v slow going because my life’s kind of in a shambles at the moment. but fear not, it’ll go the whole way through the end of the manga (and maybe even longer bc i hate myself) so it’s far from over!! :D
(Mikanon) I realized I have no passion or goals in life (probably because I don't an eren/armin in this life, lmao) I know it's apart of my depression, but I would really like some advice from someone I knew/know,
honestly, passion and commitment are things i struggle with too, and it’s definitely part of my depression. having someone around with a lot of motivation and goals who can help keep me on track (like eren or, for me, erwin) is both a boon and an irritation -- i feel like i’m being babied, but without those little nudges, i’ll stagnate.
something that helps me is making little goals each night that i’m supposed to accomplish the next day. and it can be very simple stuff, like “do your laundry”, “write one chapter”, “clean your desk”, “send out three job apps”, but having those tiny goals helps me more than huge ones.
i find that focusing on a goal like “publish a book before you’re 30” is too grand, too distant, and too uncertain -- how can i possibly know what circumstances will be three months from now, let alone three years? -- and it just makes the whole thing seem like an impossible pipe dream relegated to fantasy, rather than a very real possibility i can achieve with the right discipline.
so i try to give myself those small goals, because rather than looking up the empire state building and trying to teleport myself to the top, i’m looking at the staircase and saying “this step first, and tomorrow, the next”.
idk if that’s helpful for you, but there it is, lol
What did you think about petra and her feelings for you?
petra is... a complicated question.
i don’t think she ever really saw me well enough to truly be in love with me. she didn’t know more than sparse rumors about my past, she didn’t know where i came from or what i’d been through, she didn’t understand the things i had experienced to form the core of who i was. and that’s crucial, because i lived consumed by my past in a very huge way, and being unable to understand my past left her unable to understand me. she didn’t love me; she loved the idea of me. and while she was right that auruo didn’t know me either, it didn’t mean she knew me any better.
so i was aware of how she felt -- more aware, i think, than she was, as arrogant as that sounds. but i wasn’t about to help her correct those errors because i had no intention of letting her know or love the real me, because the truth is, i saw her as isabel.
i mean, seriously: a fiery, free-spirited, nurturing young girl, huge extravert, kind of a gossip, desperate to prove herself and very adept at doing so, with the kindest smile in the world and flaming red hair? let’s see who that reminds me of. she even had a slightly older, bullheaded male companion with a blond undercut who cut into her all the time in a good-natured, loving way. mirrors for the past, much?
(incidentally, look at sasha and jean.)
so... i loved her, yes, but not at all in a romantic way.
(Mikanon) YOOOO how are you? (I've been doing pretty well) is it cool to ask more questions? Even if it might be considered stupid shit?
hey!! i’ve been doin’ alright, kind of at a stagnant point right now but hopefully that’ll change soon, just waiting on some feedback. :D and yeah buddy, go for it!
