#so humbled

[jeanniebug623]

Hello, internet lovies! 🐞💙 I can’t believe I get to celebrate this! Silent As Shadows has reached 10k hits! This calls for celebratory chibis of these sweet summer children! Spider’s look is inspired by earlier chapters when he was learning how to communicate with Rey’ka (aka Rey’akina) and writing it all down.

🎉🩵🥂

I can’t be more humbled that this story became more than a passing fancy. 🥹

I posted the first chapter on August 29th of last year with no expectations or confidence in my writing/storytelling abilities and am stunned to see how far it has come. The support from the AO3 community has been incredible and Tumblr opened a lot of doors to other opportunities and meeting other writers I’ve only fangirled about! 🤣

From comments from @cyren-myadd first appearing to fan art by @anxiousdreamcore (which has been my PC’s background ever since!) to writing prompts from @lilt78 to unexpectedly meeting people from AO3 here on Tumblr (your names are safe with me but I hope you know who you are! 🤫) to regular reblogs of SAS and other works by @nilnether and others…

Ahh, I could exhaust my character limit thanking people for the inspiration they give!

My silly little story of Spider and a deaf Na’vi OC going through the trials of RDA imprisonment in the missing time of Spider with the recoms is more than I ever imagined. I genuinely believe it would not have made it this far without all the helpful criticisms, comments, and kudos. Thank you for making me feel a part of the Avatar fandom in a most unexpected way!

Jimin crying at the end of the concert made me bawl. This year has been so hard and so long and as much as we missed concerts and the chance to see them, they lost the chance to do what they love this year. That must have been so overwhelming and scary for them. Performing without an audience is soo hard and when the emotion hit him, I just wanted to hold him. I am so thankful for all 7 and their words- for their transparency with their disappointments and unfulfilled expectations- for the honesty that what they’ve just given to us was hard to do, and they don’t know if it’s enough. For their ever persistent hope and light in a world that’s often so dim

They truly are so kind, and I felt so loved and understood just through a screen. I don’t know another group of artists that love the way they love both us and what they do. I’ll forever be grateful that I got to exist in the same moment of time as them to witness the kindness and character of such beautiful souls first hand. No one gives me hope for humanity to be just a little bit brighter than BTS. That’s my story. That’s why I don’t stop this. That’s why I’m still walking with them 💜✨

Hey! This is not exactly an ask. It's about your latest work, "Paris" in AO3. I don't have an account there. And I could not, not tell you this. How do you do this everytime?

"Centuries of French aristocrats  stumbled over these paths, their heart in their hands, hoping for love, for romance, for magic."

The fact that other people stumbled over their paths makes their story an everyman's story, that is, a story of all star-crossed lovers across the earth. But at the same time, the fact that French aristocrats have trodden their paths in a different era, adds to their love, a strange otherworldliness.

"Each on the opposite side of the road, the lights change and the angry Parisian traffic lurches at them from both sides and they’re separated by this stretch of tarmac and French cars, families, ordinary lives."

This passage right here brings me back to the quotidian, away from the French aristocracy. As I imagine her waiting for the lights to change, at some point, "French cars, families, ordinary lives" stop being just elements of a prosaic reality. They become metaphors for all hurdles they've known or created around themselves.

In short, this was beautiful, Ruby! You are one hell of a writer.

Thank you so much for this, this is the most generous comment ❤️

I didn't expect anyone to read that fic, it really is so self-indulgent, and just a love letter to Paris, that I couldn't even bring myself to post it on Tumblr 😳

Really appreciate you reading it and the fact that you picked up on the layers of history with the city I was foolishly trying to carve in is just mind-blowing.

Honestly so grateful you shared this, you have made my day, week and month ❤️

Paris fic is here in case anyone stumbles on this.

Thanks again 💖

How do I become your friend?

Wow! Well, just message me or send me an ask! I am so humbled that you want to be my friend, but keep in mind that I tend to not shut up about the people I love, so that is what you’re going to have to be prepared for. A lot of public appreciation™. (I think a lot of my friends here can attest to that).
