"broken to prevent repair"! I love this comment so much 😭

(side note, I published this story in 2015, I'd reread it to see if it still holds up but I'm scared 🫣)

This will probably sound like a rant - its not a rant - it's a plea. I have removed the comment to keep anonymity, but this has presented a bit of a quandary.

I have to say - this sort of comment is exasperating. I have waited a week for an answer and, honestly - with no reply, it feels more like an empty zing. That makes *ME* sad. What is "temporarily"? - as in - you took it out and everything is okay? Exactly what broke? Do you know what piece(s)? What happened exactly? How can I improve this situation?

*I* don't know a single creator who releases their hard work only to go - oh well, broke your game - that's a you problem. I'm sure they exist. Not this guy.

I want to release the best possible product. My style is not for everyone - I am abundantly clear on that point. That said - with this particular set I was transparent with the issues I was encountering and it took, in some cases, weeks (actual weeks) to get something to work correctly with the little amount of time I have to give to this hobby. Quirky stuff like alpha phong/transparency issues/eyedropper not cloning issues. Not a 'my game grew an arm and has become a menace to my pets' kind of problem.

I was honestly horrified that someones game could be impacted by my wares - like - heart heavy/floor sinking sort of thing. I cannot underline this point enough - I desire critiques to improve - most creators do - at least the ones I respect. I might not be the fastest at fixing patch broken items, but when something is wrong with an item I just released, I make it a priority - with what time I have - to fix it. My site is littered with "whoops" add-ons.

PLEASE: My inbox is open - my comments are on here and at my blog - I have a contact page on my blog. If you ever find a problem with something I have released - please let me know. I will do my best to attend to it and if that is not possible, I can at least wave the red flag and hope someone in the community would have an answer to assist. Please be clear what happened so I am not forced to guess. A statement that feels like a lack of contentment is challenging to address.

Panic in the Trailer:

Summary: Austin get frustrated with himself when he can’t get his lines right because he’s feeling the pressure of doing Elvis justice and has an anxiety attack in his trailer but you, his fiancé are there to help calm him down.

Hope you enjoy!:

Austin is in the middle of filming for Elvis and he is feeling the immense pressure on him to do the man proud. What if he fails? What if Lisa Marie and Pricilla hate the final product that came from his memories? You had come along today to keep an eye on Austin because you had heard from Baz the last couple days that Austin was incredibly nervous when out of character on set even to the point of even if Baz thought a take had not needed redoing, Austin would do it over and over and over until his throat is raw from overuse.

He's come home every day from set jittery and near tears so you had decided to come along today to try to stop his anxiety from escalating into a full blown attack if possible.

Austin just can't get seem to get this line out of his mouth. Getting used to the Elvis soft drawl has also caused him to stutter and choke on his words and he's trying so hard but he's now getting frustrated with himself and it also doesn't help that it feels like everyone is staring at him. Everyone is staring at him, they're filming him but he just wants to hide in a hole right now.

Knowing his history with anxiety over the years you two had decided on a sign that he can show you if he needs you to be bossy and get him help or out of a situation. And if you need to be mean to take care of Austin, you have no problem with it. Ignoring the crowd of crew around the camera he finds you in the crowd and subtly touches his fingers to his chin, acting as if it's just a yawn but you know what it really is. His sign for help.

"Guys I'm sorry I'mma need a five to ten minute break." Austin mumbles. You feel your heart breaking as he looks to Baz with pleading eyes. Baz's eyes cut to you reading the situation. "Yeah, yeah, of course. We'll take ten guys." He says louder to the crew who disperse and walk off.

Feeling the familiar burning behind his baby blue eyes, Austin darts off toward his trailer and your not far behind him.

You find him in the back bedroom of the trailer that he uses for late nights on set. He got himself as far away from the door. "Oh baby, hey." He's hunched on the bed, head in his hands sobbing into his palms. You crouch down, patting his knee gently letting him know you're there.

This isn't your Austin and it's worse that he is still in costume and doesn't really look like your Austin.

"Austin, hey, can you look at me?" You grab his wrist and try to pull it away from his face. And he lets you surprisingly but only because he wants his hand held. "I-I c-can't, I can't, I can't. I just can't get it." Holding of his hands you use your other to run your hands through his hair. "Get what baby?" He rocks forward, placing his head in the crook of your neck. "The lines. And what if they hate it and it's so hard being him. I want to be me again. I want to be me."  You grimace at his words and the fact that your fingers can feel all the product in his jet black hair gelled into place.

"Austin listen to me. You are the most hardworking man I know. You will get it. You just need to take a minute, calm yourself and try again tomorrow. You've dove into this every day for a year and a half. I know it's scary being someone else for so long but the Austin I met is still in there. The gentle sweet thoughtful Austin is still buried in there somewhere. We just gotta find him. And you will get some bad apple reviews hellbent on hating everything but it's Baz's job to be authentic and make this film a fucking masterpiece. Do you trust him to help you make a masterpiece?"

He nods. "Yeah, I-I do." You nod, placing your hand on the back of his neck gently. "See, there you go. You guys are a team. He'll only lead you into success I promise you that. And Austin? You are more than enough, I promise you, love." Austin sniffs, nodding, staring intently at his shoes.

After a minute, Austin takes a full deep breath and shudders at the release of all of his muscles, looking into your eyes again. "I don't want to go out there again. I'm so tired." He says, on the verge of tears again. You nod understanding. "Yeah, you need to rest. You want me to talk to Baz?” Austin thinks for a minute but eventually nods. "Alright, you get cleaned up and I'll go talk to him."

You leave him to his devices and go to open the door where you find Baz standing below you hand raised in a fist, poised to knock. "I was just checking on him. He okay?" You shrug. "He really needs to rest. Is there anyway he can head home for the day. He thinks he's just been in character too long and he's getting frustrated with himself that nothing's perfect." Baz nods. "Yes, yes, go. We'll see you guys tomorrow morning." He turns around before remembering and turns his head back to you. "Y/N?" You nod. "Yeah?" Baz gives you a gentle smile. "Take care of our boy." You smile back. "That's something I'm really good at." He nods. "I know."

You turn back into the trailer to find Austin studying himself in the mirror, wiping at his nose with a tissue. "Did it go okay? Can I go home?" You nod, kissing his cheek. "Yeah, let's get you out of this getup and then we're free to go. And then when we get home first you'll nap okay?" He nods. "I can definitely do that."

You truly have no idea how much an Ask, a Comment, a Reblog, a random message can mean to people. Sometimes, you supply the only smile in someone's day.

[the-little-ewok]

Not to be needy but there's been a lot of activity on my fics of people just hitting the like button lately. Please consider leaving a comment about your thoughts, or even anon messages if you feel more comfortable in that.

Writers work really hard on this and our only feedback is you guys! Comments mean everything to us and sometimes it's really disheartening not to hear anything back. It's like yelling into the void.

So please, feedback is important. It keeps us writing and it keeps us writing more of what you like. If we don't know what you like (or don't like), we can't keep writing it.

[beautifulhigh]

As a writer I love all comments, I really do. I love that people take the time to leave me something. From the little gushing emotive responses to the paragraphs picking out details, it’s honestly the best thing to get and it makes my heart happy no matter what it is.

But I would honestly be lying if I said that I didn’t get an extra level of joy at getting a comment praising my writing from someone whose writing *I* admire and aspire to. Those comments floor me, every time.

The moral of this post is: leave comments for your writer friends. You never know how much it will mean to them and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be that unexpected bonus for them. Make their hearts happy and hope that you get to floor them as well.

Hello!

This blog is dedicated to catering the best (that I can do) Garou HCs, Garou x Readers, SFW & NSFW imagines, matchups and sometimes maybe some artwork of the monster himself!

Requests are open!

Let me tell you, I'm completely empty inside so you can request anything. I really don't judge. I'm shy and introverted in real life so, this is my place to unwind and do whatever tf I want.

I'll write for other characters too, but Garou mostly because he's my main squeeze.

Most of these will be female but I can write gender-neutral because my blog is for everyone.

I doubt any of the OPM characters (safe for a small few) judge you based on your looks, ethnicity, size, gender and overall exterior and I don't either, so feel free to be yourself!

I do the best I can with so much homework and exams, so a little support is appreciated.

I like to sketch too so you might find some weirdass sketches of Garou and stuff so yeah, be warned!

Thirsts are a thing here so thirst away please.

I write whenever I can so please excuse my tardiness if there is any.

And that concludes it!

I want to share a comment with you that I just received on AO3 to a sequel of Dear Dean which I didn’t quite finish because to me, it didn’t seem like a lot of people wanted to read a sequel. I have been asked multiple times in the last months if I would want to continue but I still can’t make up my mind. So, long story short, this comment made my day and it kind of fuels my inner muse. Maybe one day I get to finish it after all.

The moral is, that comments are important to us. They give us fuel to keep on going. Please always leave a little something if you like a fic ❤️
