I am once again back on your blog scrolling for a fic to read, so wanted to show my appreciation and say that it is no hyperbole to say that your blog is what keeps me coming back here. A lot of my fandoms are quite quiet right now but I can never leave Tumblr because how would I follow your blog if I did?! So thank you for being the greatest of fic reccers

gosh, I don’t even know what to do with myself after being showered with so much appreciation this week, thank you so much 💜 and I probably wouldn’t be still around if it wasn’t for the Drarry community, either. this is such a vibrant fandom with so many active fests and creators it’s hard to keep track of everything (I’ve been taking short breaks since last year and the fomo is real! so much to read, so little time 🥲). it really means a lot to hear that my blog keeps pulling you back, what a wonderful way to start my day! I hope you continue enjoying the recs, take care xo

So thankful you are here collecting all the Joey Batey content because I CANNOT keep up right now

Ahhh, I'm delighted to hear that you appreciate it! I always worry a little bit about annoying people when I get excited and start reblogging everything to do with a topic, so I'm very happy to know that I'm not. Thank you for letting me know! <3

Also, if you want another source of updates, @two-damn-minutes has been doing an excellent job!

13 for the Amazing Devil ask game!

13. Song that makes me brave

All my life I've been told about who I should be as a woman, what I'm supposed to want and what I'm not allowed to desire. Pray is absolutely my anthem for saying, "Actually, you know what? Fuck. That." It's gonna be a lifelong journey to explore who I want to be outside of the stifling box of what's expected of me, and this verse is gonna be my soundtrack for every step:

Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin to understand What holy men really mean when they speak of all that’s been and all that won’t And all you do and don’t And why you cannot sleep for sighing Why womanhood is more than crying I’m stronger now than you have ever known The cracks you made I fill with mortar A broken pot can still hold water Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed With sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him.

The ask game is here :)

Your commentary on the songs you're picking for the ask game are ON POINT, I can only bow to your exceptional descriptive talents

Asgflkdsj thank you??? You're making me squirm in pleased embarrassment. What on earth would I do if I can't blab about The Amazing Devil on this beloved hellsite? I'd have to resort to monologuing my thoughts in the shower every day, that's what, and the water bill would be horrendous. So thanks for being a lovely community for sharing all these overwhelming TAD feels. <3

Just wanted to say your recs are absolutely brilliant. Lately I've rediscovered loads of old favourites and found new fics that I've completely loved. I'm a big fan of longer fics and some of your recent lists have had so many great recs. Thanks for all you do!

Oh thank you so much, this made me really happy! Rediscovering old favorites is always very special. And I’m glad you could find some longer fics in my recs, as I rarely find the time or energy to invest in them these days. I hope you continue to enjoy the blog!

So very sorry for your loss 💚 Tumblr will still be here when you're ready for it. Take care of yourself in the meantime

Thank you, sweetheart. I'm dipping my toes in every once and a while because I have a little more time, but I'm still catching up on a lot of real life stuff that fell by the wayside while my whole life revolved around taking care of my dad (a privilege I was grateful for) so I'm still so so busy. But my dear hearts are always in my thoughts. Miss you a lot, friends in my phone!
