OutOfDolls:- [Let’s out a low whistle] Wow, eight years to the day... even as I write this, that’s really crazy to me. But in a weird way it doesn’t actually feel all that long and that’s mostly because I have so many good memories of being here and playing this muse.
I never thought when I first made this blog that I’d be still doing this after 6 months, but here we are, eight years later and I’m still finding as much enjoyment and inspiration to write Lulu as I did on that very first day. Granted, my activity of late has been spotty, but that’s just a sad part of real life, right? I know there’s some of you that have been here with me for years who know doubt have the same issue, mainly that real life is time consuming and we can’t always find the time to sit down and write for the muses we love, but I always find myself coming back here when I do have the time, because I love Lulu and I love writing with you guys.
There’s so much I want to say, but I’m not sure I can find the right words to really articulate how much I’ve enjoyed this journey, how much each and every one of you have given me inspiration, have driven me to become a better writer or simply how much joy and entertainment I’ve had while being here. I’m not going any where any time soon, on that you can trust in, because I’m still not done with writing Lulu’s journey or having new adventures with people.
I don’t want this to get too long, (mentions are going to be under a read more simply so I don’t clog your dash with a wall of text) but I do want you all to know (and there’s nearly 3,000 of you following me now) that without you, this blog wouldn’t be what it is today. You’re all so amazing, so talented, so welcoming and all have hearts of gold and I want you to know that even when I’m not able to be here to write, I do check in on you all and read what you’re doing and I’m always, always blown away by how incredible you are.
Thank you, each and every one of you for being a part of this journey.
Okay, time for the mentions. I’m so sorry if I miss you, it doesn’t mean I don’t love you, it simply means I’m a scatter brain!
Special Mentions:
@assilat-vojjor: My Drogo, my wonderful writing partner. I know you haven’t been on tumblr for the longest time, but I can’t make this post without you being here. It wouldn’t be right. We’ve been shipping for how long now? Four years? Five? And most of our interactions take place in private these days, but I wouldn’t change any of it. You’ve been there when I’ve been at my best and my worst and I’m grateful for you and cherish the friendship we share. Thank you, thank you for being my writing partner and my best friend.
@crystalkept: Grey, my darling Grey! You... you know how much I adore you, how much I love writing with you and hanging out with you on FFXIV. We’ve been spending more time together recently and I for one am so happy about that. We’ve had times where we couldn’t speak for a while, (pesky real life) and I always missed and thought of you in those times. Know that I cherish you and that I will always be here for you.
@tsurugixbuster: 2.0!! Oh man, you’ve followed my blog as various muses for years, in fact, you’re up there as being one of my first followers! It’s so crazy to think that I’ve had this wonderful friendship with you for so long, and you’re another person who I cherish and am glad to have in my life. yeah, I know, I’m being soppy, but let me be a girl about this for just a second and I promise we’ll go back to making lewd jokes and serenading one another via youtube haha!
@leoninum: You’re another one, that like me, has a habit of poofing from the dash from time to time, and you’re another person that during those times I think about. I’m not sure when you will see this, but I want you to know that you’re never far from my thoughts and that when we do get to hang out it is some of the best ways I have spent my evenings. Thank you, really, you’re amazing!!
I wish I could write each and every one of you a special little message, but it would take me forever. So instead, know that I think you’re amazing and you have made my experience on the dash one I will carry with me always.~
I’m so sorry I couldn’t include everyone, but know that even if you aren’t listed here (because I’m a derp and likely forgot) that I still adore you and you’ve made my time here memorable!!
❝I though it was.❞ He said as let out a laugh, approaching the other and ruffling the other’s hair, being the big ol’ playful titan that he usually was. ❝Lighten up a little.❞
HER silver strands thoroughly mused, her pale frown thoroughly in place--Fujin’s stature leaves her unable to dodge the touch of the old man && her face can do nothing but describe her exasperation.
Juliet was unshocked in all honesty, by the fact that he was back. She was pretty sure she’d seen this same massive man in the bakery numerous times in the last week. Part of her hoped he continued to return to the shop for more enthralling conversations with her. The other part knew it was probably because he liked the pastries.
She was thankful it was still too early for too many others to have begun crowding into the bakery. “Where are you off to at such an ungodly hour?”
@fxrtem , @leorugiet lo rD ITS 5AM AND IM WHEEZING.... ok but clarus tho.... bc he's TOTALLY been doing shit like this to cor back then too.....
the current Amicitia lineup just... trying to ruin cor's (almost non-existent) love/sex life (after THEY try to hook him up with ppl so they have SOMETHING to ruin, ofc)
Her ears pricked with the voice of the other, human eye narrowed as she glanced at the other. Judging by his response, he was another warrior who was weary from battle. Maybe a potential ally?
“Aye,” she nodded, turned enough to watch the other, “Even if that appreciation doesn’t last for long.”
