behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death
From 1918 to 1919, in the dying throes of World War I, the world made a new enemy. It tore through the young and otherwise healthy, destroying already damaged and grieving populations, ravaging the economy, and leaving the world further in tatters.
Who would think that a little flu would be capable of this kind of damage?

If you have a chance, head on over to @hwsrazzledazzle to see sneak peeks of the absolutely AMAZING zine to come later this month! I had an awesome time writing for my first ever zine, and I’m so excited to see how everything looks.
Clari!!! It's 🎨 anon. I meant to send this in forever ago but got busy but I am so happy to hear you found a psychologist that is working for you AND that those worksheets have been helping you 🥺❤️. I am so proud of you, angel, seriously. It makes me so happy to hear you're doing well cause you deserve to feel good and safe and happy.
NOW ONTO THE MAIN PART OF THIS ASK WHICH IS THE BRILLIANCE THAT WAS BMB PT 4. Your way with words and descriptions are always so captivating, I can literally feel myself transported into your universes. You make emotions and thoughts so crystal clear, and I love how complex every character is in your stories--whether they are minor or major players. There was so much to love in this chapter. Idk where to start. I loved the allusion to Dabi/Tomura's more intimate relationship together as well as THOSE complex feelings they (more so Dabi) have for each other. And I loved loved loved Keigo's POV, too--you actually had me feeling bad for him and rooting for him for a second when he stood up to the Chief! ALSO THAT MR. ORANGE REFERENCE FROM DABI TO KEIGO, SHGISHGS YOU CLEVER GIRL, I WAS SCREAMING IN EXCITEMENT!!
Apart from the amazing character development we see in both characters and relationships in this chapter, the plot is getting so interesting in terms of the Chief's motivations/Keigo's motivations/Tomura's motivations and so much more I can't even type. AHHH!! Your stories are always worth the wait. You did such an amazing job bby, tumblr honestly doesn't provide enough space for all my praise and feedback. I hope you get some WELL-deserved rest and care, Clari--you knocked it out of the park, babes. ILY and take care until next time, queen!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - 🎨 anon
HI PALETTE BABIE <333
tw: bmb spoilers
thank you so much!!!!! your words mean a lot to me and i really appreciate them <333 idk if this is weird or odd but i find myself thinking of you often on my way to my sessions!!! i feel like i have an even deeper sense of camaraderie with you after that ask hahaha <3 yes!! i've been given some worksheets from my own psychologist as well now and although recovery and building coping strategies etc is very hard work and extremely emotionally taxing, we're making progress and i feel really good about that! i hope you're doing fantastic <33
WAAAAAAAH my sweet palette please 🥺🥺🥺 i can't even tell you how many times i've reread your ask since you sent it!!! thank you SO much for such wonderful and thorough feedback, it genuinely means the world to me that you've taken the time to send your thoughts in and i appreciate it so very much!!!!! <33333 thank you from the bottom of my heart for such splendid and special compliments!!!
HEHEHE i'm SO glad to hear that keigo was making you feel bad for him!!! that was totally my goal!! in a way, keigo embodies one of the central themes/messages in bmb as a whole (the complexity of morality, and how it's muddled even more when entangled in personal relationships). HAHAHAHA thank you!!! reservoir dogs is one of my all-time favourite films ever, and it was one of the many pieces of art that inspired bmb, so i wanted to pay homage to it within the story <3 also fun fact: the reason why a similar line ends up in one of the messages tomura received is because the boys down at the station love the film and reference often
yes! part five is very BAMBAMBAM in terms of how things happen, like it moves so fast but i'm literally vibrating with excitement to share it with all of you so hopefully i can get that out soon!! <33 i am literally BEYOND overjoyed that you enjoyed part four,,, honestly words can't even begin to describe the emotion i feel every time i reread this ask <333 again, thank you so much, i love u with all my heart <33333
