Hello, maw this is Nutella anon (I’m not sure if you remember me).
It’s been almost two years since my last ask, and I wanted to update you. My girlfriend has unfortunately passed away. I’ve been debating reaching out to you, but I wanted you to know that towards the end, we did a marathon of reading through all your works, starting from the beginning. We only managed to get to An Exponential Number of Joes before she lost the fight to cancer. I wanted you to know how much joy your works brought us during a very scary time, how some days your fics were the only things that made her smile. I’m very grateful to have come across your works, to have bonded with such a beautiful and loving woman through them, and grateful that I was able to use them to ease her pain. It might seem silly that a fan work of cubitos meant so much to us, but it really did, and they still do. If ever you feel like your works aren’t enough, they’re just silly, and or they aren’t deserving of the title of “art”, I want you to know that it brought my love so much happiness and comfort in cold, sterile hospital rooms. All art matters. All communities matter. And I’m glad she got to experience yours before leaving this world.
Thank you for your art, maw. You matter more than you think, and more than you’ll ever know.
Take care and remember to do yearly physicals,
Nutella anon and girlfriend (Jody and Loretta)
Of course I remember you. I was thinking about you just the other week. And...wow. For a start, thank you. Thank you for telling me. I'm touched, and I'm humbled, and I'm so, so sorry. It's such a horrible thing to go through, and trust me, I know. I lost my Grandfather to cancer not that long ago, and it really stings to this day.
I hope you yourself are doing well, Nutella anon. I'm sorry.
And...thank you. This ask...I don't really have the words to say everything I want to say. I hope this has been enough. I've been staring at it all day.
I hope things look up for you soon, Nutella.
