jellyjamjelly: god bless. victuuri dying the best possible death. yuri still a petulant child at the age of 85. tempted to write shitty discourse comments just so you can write more out of spite.
i honestly can’t imagine them going out any other way. when i posted the draft someone said something along the lines of “ok but are they actually still alive in the vacuum of space because robot parts, fucking away” and my answer is yes. thank you jellybean!!
rcmclachlan: I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D FINISH IT DEL THIS IS THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OF THE HUMAN RACE
THANKS BAB, THANKS FOR CHEERLEADING GROSS GRANDPA DICKINGS
cafecliche: I N C R E D I B L E. What kind of life goals honestly. Maybe we all one day be Otayuri grandpas on Mars.
look, i had a dream that inspired this fic, and it was about me being 80 on mars riding dune buggies, because in my dream that was the only kind of vehicle that worked on mars. everyone was old, everyone was riding dune buggies. the mountains were pink with white caps and we lived in a giant dome. in this universe, otabek was briefly mayor of mars-almaty. (thank u bby!!)
mountliang: every dick is a viktor dick I LAUGHED MY WAY THROUGH THIS ENTIRE FIC (to ignore the fact that i had Emotions abt them being old)
i’m so glad this made you laugh. that’s what i wanted the story to do. well, i wanted it to do a lot of things. and i was worried it was going to read like a bad series of dad jokes. love u, ro.
fireblazie: THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ
lavenderprose: I like that we had the same idea re: the discourse...also, I just shrieked "GRANDPAFUCKING" and my sister purposefully emerged from the living room to stare at me judgmentally at me from the doorway
THE MENTAL IMAGE. and yeah, i just read a lot of discourse from this blog that went out of their way to attack me, and so much of it was sincerely ridiculous that the most serious direction i could deal with the cuckoo bananapants nonsense i was reading was “what if otabek and yuri were in their eighties and fucking on mars.” thank u for this, and also for surviving the not-grandpafucking
bigbigtruck: The Viktor dick, the endnote... I'm laughing and maybe crying a little bit. (How did you know elderly folks still in love is one of my weak points!!)
thank you!! elderly folks in love is my number one forever jam, probably tied with tender bathing as far as “things that make me weak in the knees and cry forever” go. the first time i saw the movie Up, i cried for 45 straight minutes. like, i ugly cried. i sniffled through the rest. elderly people in love is my one true weakness. i’m trusting you with this vulnerable information, pls don’t hurt me.
