y'know i swore i was gonna do this on time but then i forgot (i was at work lol) so happy late mother's day ona! i hope you and your family are still doing well c:

Thank you! <3

We're doing good, well and settled after the move two years ago up north. Got to experience that big ice storm this past winter, and the kiddo is graduating elementary school and starting middle school this fall which feels crazy!

hey ona, its been a long time but i was talking about deltarune w/a close friend and in turn undertale and it got me thinking about when we talked while you were writing wtmyh. so i just wanted to message and say i hope things have been great for you and your family! and thank you for the kindness, memories and conversations. - CJ/Sov

Hey CJ! We're all doing great over here.

Roslin is 10 now if you can believe it, starting 5th grade soon. She's older than Frisk was when I was writing them, how weird is that? Also just the fact that it's been almost 10 years since I started WTMYH in the first place.

I hope you're doing good, too! I think about you and everybody every once in a while, so I'm always so happy when somebody checks in! c:

hi there! i hope this isn’t an odd ask to receive. i used to read wtmyh as it was updating when i was a teenager back in 2016, and as an adult it’s never quite left me. i recently finished another reread of some old favorite fics (cobc and wtmyh among them), and it made me very sentimental: your writing in wtmyh had a huge impact on me when i was younger and was part of what inspired me to become an artist in my own right. i just wanted to say thanks for sharing your work, and i hope you and your family are doing well! good luck with the move to maryland!

Oh gosh, thank you for sending me this ask! It’s crazy to think that people have grown up having read my work when they were teens. My daughter wasn’t even one yet when I started writing wtmyh and now she’s nine. The passage of that time feels so much differently for me.

I’m so glad to hear that the fic left such a strong impression, especially that you were inspired to become an artist yourself! That’s wonderful! I hope you’re doing well, too. This was incredibly touching, and I’m so glad you reached out. I haven’t had the ability to do any writing lately for a number of reasons, so it’s comforting to know that what I’ve already done still exists out there to mean something to people.

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is there an official name of Bo & Deacon's daughter? Just a curiosity...

I don't think I ever actually settled on a name for her, officially, but I know I was seriously considering Xanthe, specifically because it means "blond-haired".

But it's been a long time, so I'm not sure if I've accidentally contradicted myself lol. Hopefully not!

Hey there! I haven't actually had the chance to read over your whole tumblr or anything but I just wanted to send in an ask and let you know that your fanfiction is fantastic, and I'm better for having read it. Have a lovely day!

Oh goodness, you definitely don't need to do that! And thank you so much, I always love hearing from folks <3 Thank you for making me smile c:

REALLY love how you portrayed majima. A lot of ppl just water him down to being Crazy so I love how well you handled the character and especially showed his softer side ❤️

I’m so glad to hear it! I was trying to do my best to capture Majima between 0 and 1, with the bonus of him just being softer in general with Makoto. It was a lot of fun exploring his personality behind the act :D

Although I’ll miss it, old scars ended perfectly and I really loved it

I’m so glad to hear you say so! :D

I really am hoping to work my way through the games with little one-off additions, so maybe you won’t have to miss it too much, for now!

[onadacora]

I enjoy your writing💕

(But seriously, thank you! :D)
