Hi Emma!! I just read your story "stars and flowers in New York". Actually Jo told me about it and I went to read it.

You have no idea how much I love it. I don't know if there's enough words to describe it. First of all, the idea is amazing, the encounter between these two great universes is fascinating, flowers and stars, it couldn't be any more beautiful than it already is.

And then I started the story, with every sentence I read, every paragraph I finish, I'm speechless, it's like a magical journey, going through the infinite assembly of two worlds. I felt phenomenal reading it, smiling all the way.

"She’s coming from whenever, breathing in wherever, she’s dreaming of a different age. She’s spinning and spinning and whole, entire, wonderful worlds are spinning along with her.”

"And he’s gone. But she’s still there. The world has suddenly and violently stopped spinning, but she’s still there, smiling at painting in her mind, of a spinning girl."

"It was all very confusing for poor Rev, but that's how life as a living dream is. Unpredictable. Blurry. Forever changing."

Your talent is beyond me. It's so beautiful. You are incredible, thank you really for this piece of Art.

I don't even know what to say about the discussion over Oscar Wilde, the way Cassandra chose his poetry, I kinda agree with her. He's one of my favorite writers of all time. I felt so happy and excited reading this part.

And the ending, "Across a sparkling city, many worlds, and infinite time, two pairs of souls had made each other smile." I can't, I need time to think more about it. It's amazing, like I said, a magical journey.

I feel like no matter what I say it won't be enough. Just know that I love this story so much, infinitely. Flowers and stars, it's perfect. 💖💖💖💖💖

mais, i don't know what to say or how to thank you for this.....i'm giving you the biggest hug rn ok 💕💕💕 sending you sm love and appreciation because you have no idea how much i needed to here this

first of all, thank you, and i'm so glad you like it!!!!! it was a tribute to @johermione ofc, as you already know, and was written in a few hazy hours of seemly imagined yet wonderful time....

i've always been in awe and fascination at they way jo writes, from the actual structure of sentences to the manipulation of ideas such time and reality, all put together to write about amazing, abstract concepts and feelings (this sounds way too in depth and analytical, i swear i just like your writing jo ok). so in this piece i wrote i wanted to try and mimic that, while obviously combining our oc's and writing styles together (hence the title, stars and flowers <3)

writing the little oscar wilde discussion was so fun, that scene just poured out all in one go with little effort, and i'm glad you agree on the poetry!! oscar wilde is truly amazing, i worship all his writing endlessly

sorry i rambled so much, but i'm incredibly grateful that you sent this mais....i've have a lot of swirling ideas in my head lately but with no way of writing them out (the worst kind of writers block) so thank you so so much, talking about writing and things like this helps a lot <33

Rewatching 911 soon and it'll be interesting how I view it now that a certain ship I really vibed with has been poisoned to me by its fandom. Wondering how that'll impact my viewing process tbh.

☎️🗣 hi todd!! i'm literally barging into your inbox right now to announce that I THINK YOU'RE SO COOL LIKE WHENEVER I THINK BACK ON THE FACT WE'RE MUTUALS i kick my feet and giggle. YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRING ARTIST AND YOU PERSONALLY INSPIRE ME A LOT

WAAAAH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOURE SO KIND AND YOU HAVE THE BEST TAGS IN THE ENTIRE FANDOM 😠😠💪💪😤😤❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sorry if this comes off as rude because I totally do NOT mean it that way, but I'm just curious, how did you get to shipping so many of the boys? A lot of the characters you ship are characters I don't remember a single thing about (like, ones who aren't sort of the central 7 biguns), so I'm interested in hearing about them !!

OOOOH HELLO! i adore this question hee hee because i get to ramble!

so i’ve described why i ship mauram recently, but i’m totally happy to do it again! basically, when i joined the fandom, the main maurice ship was roger x maurice. however, it just made me a little uncomfortable to ship them together because it reminded me of a past relationship i had with someone and that sort of thing steered me away from it. BUT i noticed that the twins and maurice were portrayed as “jokesters” with similar personalities. i ended up picking sam because he has always been the sweeter, more docile twin in my mind and i thought that would work PERFECT with maurice, who thrives off of a go with the flow vibe. he could give maurice the love he never had type of thing!

for bill x piggy, i’m ngl it was a mistake that started this ship. i THOUGHT that bill was the hunter that stayed the longest (up until the “party” that jack threw) with ralph and piggy, but it’s actually henry. however, while i was being delulu, i was like oh wouldnt it be cool if bill stayed so long because he had built a relationship with piggy when ralph wasn’t around, and helped around the camp doing little things to gain piggy’s friendship. and so they became a ship for me too! like the sort of vibe that is “even if everybody else hates you, i still see good in you.”

robric is,,,,, interesting…. i gave sam and maurice a pairing, so i didn’t want to leave eric hanging? i felt like he needed SOMEONE, and i’ve always been a huge fan of robert’s character. i knew he was a hunter and i knew that he had a more naïve personality (there’s a scene where the hunters literally try and kill him and he’s like ‘ow that hurt :D’). so his happy go lucky vibe countered the more protective vibe i had assigned to eric (bc he’s the older twin, so he is responsible). and eventually he became ralph’s half brother in my au which DEFINITELY solidified the idea of older brother x younger brother’s best friend which is such a good cutesy trope. and also robert would defend eric if the choir ever tried to pull shit because that’s his brothers bestie yknow? i rlly love them 😭😭

most of my other ships were pulled out of my ASS. perciberry is just,,, childhood best friends realise they have a crush on each other o fuck what will they do! they’re actually so wholesome and i adore them sm…. jalter, wilrold, etc came from long discussions with my mutuals where we were like hey… what if johnny and walter had little crushes on each other! wilfred and harold tbh was a creation from one of my mutuals and he really HONED IN on the wilrold vibe and just got me on board too.

(also this question is not rude at all! please don’t be afraid to ask me anything, i’m always open to talk and answer things!)

hi! i’m experiencing a teeny tiny tad bit of burnout from doing college art alongside my fanart so my requests are now open for literally anything! any ideas!!! i’ll gladly draw them because coming up with concepts is really difficult for me at the moment :DDD!!!
