Where should I start really?? There are so many things to say about you. I'm not that good with expressing what I feel and what I want to say.
Congratulations on the 200th Chapter release!! 200 Chapters, it's spoken so easily but we should stop for a moment and let that sink in, that it's been almost 8 years of writing.
8 Years, 200 Chapter, 2598k+ Words, 2k+ Favs, 2k+ Follows
I’ve never met, nor do I know of anyone who has this much ambition as you do. No one who stood loyal to a fandom for so long and never gave up writing.
You had ups and downs, but I for my part can say that I envy your strength.
Your writing and fanfiction, your artworks and your relationship with many of your readers are absolutely wonderful.
But these are not the only things worth mentioning and respecting you.
Normally, I don't like showing the world my friendships openly because I'm a private person. But Tumblr somehow doesn't feel like other snss at all. Sometimes it feels like we all know each other.
And I want to tell you, that you are a precious friend. I appreciate everything you did for me. Your artworks, your advices and motivation about writing and most importantly, our chats about different topics.
I thank you for everything! For your kindness and your patience with us readers. No one knows what's going to happen within days, hours, and seconds even. But 8 years of knowing you is something particularly important to me. I know that as long as I'm healthy, I'll always remember you. People don't understand that friendships through the internet are a different kind of bond and possible. But I'm very grateful for having you as a friend. And I hope it'll last as long as possible.
Sometimes I wish I could be as kind and good as you.
About the Video: I was not sure if I should make it only Sokkla or include others as well. But seeing how long this got without even using all the artworks, I decided to go for Sokkla. Since I know how strong your shipper heart beats (and tbh, mine too so I went for only Sokkla;)). Nothing breathtaking, but I hope you'll like it. I doubt there's need to mention of why I chose this song;).
Wished I could’ve started with using artworks and more quotes from the beginning and show the complete, but I like to think of Sokkla starting in “The Emerald Rockman arc”, because I dislike it before, for an obvious reason. That’s why I only chose artworks after that.
Something I must mention though is, that since the first moment of reading Gladiator I fell in love with the intro. I don't think I've ever said this, but the intro is more than just amazing. It's perfect. One of my favorite things in Gladiator.
This is my gift for you for the 200th Chapter release=)). Without your beautiful artworks there wouldn’t be any video. I really love all of them a lot. But I think this time my absolute favorites are where Azula says she loves Sokka for the very first time and the very last one at the end.
I hope you have fun and joy this weekend!!<3
PS: Let me know if the video isn't working
It's working just fine! Oh, my day didn't start the right way at all, but that video certainly fixed a lot of it. I have been revisiting early chapters too, looking for a lot of things I need for chapters I'm writing, and your video ended up being just another chance to go through memory lane with these two and their love story. Thank you so much for this gift and your kind words! Makes me feel better about life to look back on those 8 years and 200 chapters and know my work was worth it :D
Thanks again for this and everything! Means soooo much to me!
