Accidentally wrote 8k words of a fae ‘hostile/not-quite-enemies to friends to lovers’ thing today.

Will see where it goes, but boy do my hands/wrists hurt now. I forgot my writing braces and they really do make a world of difference.

((So I've been thinking while working, I'm gonna take a semi haitus ooc wise. I'm really mentally unstable cuz the drama at my house triggered a mental relapse. I'll still talk, I'm just not gonna approach people to talk. If something good happens to me, or I get excited about something, I'll share it. I'm just not able to handle people right now.

If you wanna talk to me and help me out, it dont gotta be about me. Tell me about your day, tell me what you're looking forward to and excited about. Tell me about pets or loved ones. Share cute or funny pics with me. Show me your rad art. Positive stuff.

As of right now, I hate to say, I cannot handle heavy negative stuff. I will refrain from replying to such things. I'm trying to care for myself and put myself first for once.

But... thank y'all for understanding and sticking around. I'm in a rough spot, and I appreciate all the support and love.

((Each day more is collected.

For some reason, I’ve had some truly lovely asks over the last few days and I’ve been holding onto them because life got busy and today it got a bit shit too, but I’ll answer them properly tomorrow.

Thank you from the bottom of my little ectoplasmic heart for the beautiful and kind and insightful and sweet things you say about my craft. My writing is fundamentally who and what I am at my very core, and when you spontaneously pop by and take the time and energy out of your day to leave me an ask in my inbox, telling me something you particularly like, or enjoy, or notice, it just fills me with purpose and love. I mean it. Thank you.

🖤🤍👻🤍🖤

People don’t seem to understand the nuance between:

1. “I posted something, therefore you should always automatically reblog it, regardless whether you enjoyed it or not, and/or also pay me lots of money while you’re at it.”

and

2. “You actively liked/enjoyed what I shared, and a great, free way to help me on Tumblr is reblogging. Another way you could choose to support me further is through kofi or Patreon. But if that’s not an option for you, that’s absolutely fine. Carry on, have a nice day, and thanks for stopping by.”

For clarity: creators aren’t saying number one. We’re all saying number two.

Just a reminder that if you’ve ever shared in the spirit of this blog - respect, friendship, creativity, imagination, and a love of all things fantasy and monstrous - then you are beloved yourself.

Thank you for being you, and know that everything I create and share on here is for you, valued and dear readers.

And thank you for your support in all its forms, from reblogs and asks to ko-fi donations and beloved former patrons, to purchases in my Etsy shop. Whatever you’ve given - time, effort, imagination, engagement, or financial support - it is so deeply appreciated.

Take care of yourselves, and enjoy all the half price chocolate tomorrow…
