Don't worry!! Please take all the time you need <3
thank you so much!! <3
hello people,
I know I take ridiculously long to post, but that’s because it takes me a long time to plot my imagines and actually find the time to write them. That said, I have 14 drafts right now and one of them will hopefully out soon.
please don’t give up on me!!

What’s this about? It’s your birthday, and Nicky’s got a surprise for you!
Warning: slightly NSFW-ish // not explicit, but foreplay.
Enjoy!
“C’mon.” She sat on the edge of the stone-hard mattress, her fingers threatening to pull the blanket you held oh-so-protectively over your head. “Wakey-wakey, eggs and... Whatever, I can’t rhyme for shit.”
“Shut up,” you grunted and tried to push her away with a nudge of your torso. Most of the time, you were more than happy to hang out with her, but it was way too early in the morning for anything besides snoring (and maybe cuddling).
“Ah, so now you want me out of your bed?” she scoffed, her hand diving under the covers. “That surely wasn’t the case two days ago when we-” You slapped her fingers away from your breasts. She chuckled. “What? You’re even skipping foreplay today?”
You finally gave in and popped an eye from under the covers to glare at her. Her silhouette was a blurry shade of dirty yellow as you grimaced because the few already turned on lights across the dormitory. Of course, none of that prevented you from noticing the amused grin on Nichol’s lips.
“The hell is so important that can’t wait until the sun’s up?” you asked. There were, after all, pros and cons of being assigned to the same bunk as this woman: great sex and great annoyance, respectively.
“Well, you see, I woke up with this irresistible urge to figure out what day it is...”
“What? Nicky, I swear to God-” Your mistake, great bullshit was another con to your current bunk-situation.
“No, no, no, seriously!” She brought her hands up in a placating manner. “What day is it?” she insisted. You sighed.
“Uh, noodles day or something?”
“-That too.” She frowned. “But what exact day is it? As in the actual date?”
You opened your mouth to complain about the futility of the question, but your brain at last picked up on what she meant. You hesitated, elbows supporting your weight as you propped yourself into a sitting position. It finally dawned on you. It didn’t go unnoticed.
“Huh, so you do keep track of time,” Nicky teased, grinning as she lowered her torso to grab something from the floor. A blink later, and she handed you a rough rectangular package made of toilet paper and duct tape. “Happy birthday, kid.”
“Oh my God, you really didn’t have t-”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah; cut the social convention of a polite response and open the damn thing already,” she chuckled, and you opened up some space for her to edge closer.
There was a small, one-sided card attached to the layers of cheap paper, and you smile as you examined it. A rough, cartoonish drawing of the both of you that captured Nicky’s crooked smirk perfectly.
“Daya’s?” You raised an eyebrow. “This is too sappy for you, Nichols... I love it!” You gave her a peck on the cheek.
“Eh, I can be romantic every once in a while.” She shrugged. “Now, the other one.”
It was, from the shape and size, very obviously a book. Why she’d “give” it to you when you could easily get it from the library, however, you didn’t know. Nicky watched expectantly as you tore off the toilet paper, and your chin fell in surprise when you finally got to the cover.
“H-How?” you asked, turning the copy in your hands as if it were a piece of diamond. “This is my favorite book! How did you get it?” You turned to her, as excited as a little kid on Christmas -- you had, after all, asked everywhere for it, but it wasn’t available in Litchfield.
“I have my ways.” She grinned, “and some favors to collect.”
“Thank you so much!” You went straight for a kiss, almost pushing her out of the bed. Nicky used on hand to steady herself, laughing against your lips and kissing you back.
“Anytime, kid.” She breathed, not losing eye contact for a second as she kicked the boots out of her feet and crawled onto you.
Butterflies swirled in your stomach as she leaned in for a make-out session, experienced hands dancing across your torso. You twirled your fingers around the knots of her hair, earning soft bites in return.
“You know,” she mumbled in between trailing kisses towards your belly button. You suppressed a giggle -- who isn’t ticklish around that area? “We were supposed-” Her hot breath against your skin made shivers run down your spine. “To be at the cafeteria right now.”
“Why’s that?” you asked distractedly, too caught on the fact that Nicky was wearing way too many clothes. You needed her skin against yours. Bare skin, warm covers, dirty whispering. For God’s sake, you craved her.
“There’s cake.” She took off her jacket and threw it to the floor. Finally. You pulled her closer, urging to feel her as much as possible. She dived in for another kiss.
“Wait, what-” You inhaled sharply as her fingers started to trace patterns on your thighs. “Fuck. Can’t we-”
“Yeah,” she cut you off. “Red’ll save some for us.” Her breathing quickened as you played with her breasts from above her shirt. Another kiss. Kicking off pants was never a fast enough process.
“Deal.”
Who needed cake when you had her? Her raspy voice, her smirk, her golden, wild hair? It wasn’t about the drawing or the book. It was her. How could anything ever compare to her laugh? To her fingertips on every inch of your skin? To her witty comments and summertime laughter?
Fuck cakes.
uhm??? have you heard about lis2???
Do you mean season 2? Or the fan sequels?
Well, I have! 😂😂 It looks cool, and I'm preparing myself for another heartbreak... what about you?

Your Guide To Reviews
The Problem
Fic writers wonder why people don’t review. They honestly can’t understand the silence. Writers assume that readers:
usually have something to add/criticize/say
know how to articulate their own thoughts/feelings
withhold feedback because they’re lazy or apathetic
don’t appreciate how much time/effort/energy goes into writing
On the flip-side, readers assume that:
the writer already knows how ‘good’ their work is
someone else will review because this fic is ‘obviously’ awesome
if a fic is already ‘popular,’ their feedback won’t matter
if they comment, they ‘must’ leave an awesome, insightful, detailed comment that 100% reflects their love for a fic
since words aren’t adequate, it’s better to stfu and just click the kudos button/favotite/bookmark
None of these assumptions are accurate.
The reality is that:
there is no reason for a writer to post their work except to get feedback that validates their vision, helps them improve and/or gives them an outsider perspective/interpretation of their work (which can be absolutely mind-blowing)
like, you can and should write for yourself, but if that’s 100% the case, every good fic would be wasting away in a private word document
‘readers’ are not always ‘writers’
‘writers’ can naturally put their ideas and emotions into words
‘readers’ usually don’t know what to say, which words to use to express themselves, and belittle the importance of their perspective
many ‘readers’ don’t write, so they can’t empathize with the struggle of writing a fic for a silent but attentive audience
Basically, readers don’t understand writers and vice-versa. Both parties are wired differently. Readers who also write are more likely to review because they empathize with both sides of the equation.
The Solution
Writers
Be patient, understanding, and persistent
Appreciate those who do review
Don’t get bitter, discontinue a beloved story, or assume the worst of your readers
Realize that everyone is really trying their best
Readers
Be patient, supportive, honest, and empathetic
Realize that there’s no minimum! Even two words (like ‘good work!’) can have a huge impact
Review Templates
Things to say when you’re tongue-tied:
Verbs
I liked the part where/when…
I wonder why…
I smiled/laughed when…
I was confused when…
I think that…
I predict…
I was sad/happy/angry/[other emotion] when…
Nouns
[character] did/said/felt/will do [this thing]
because… (if applicable)
[insert plot point/event]
Example: I think that [this guy] ran away from [his friend] because he was trying to protect him.
And that’s it. You don’t have to say anything else. One sentence is more than enough, but you’ll notice that once you get started, you’ll have a lot to say- so say it!
Author’s style
Your writing is:
Detailed/descriptive
Vivid
Concise (to the point)
Funny
Serious
Surreal
Unique
Compelling
Provocative
Leaves me wondering about a lot of things, and I’m curious about what happens next
Confused me a little at times (talk about what confused you! The author will be more than happy to clear things up!)
Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t
Worry about grammar/typos in your review
Suggest a direction for the story (most writers know what they’re doing and you just gotta trust them)
Think that clicking the kudos button is all you can do! Your opinion is important!
Tell the author to do more of [this] and less of [that]
Ask them to update without leaving any other feedback
Do
Leave short comments if you can’t think of anything else to say (“I like this” is more than acceptable, seriously)
Inform the author of typos (be specific)- many fics are un-beta’d. The writer will appreciate your attention to detail.
Express your own perspective even if it isn’t ‘correct-’ I think [character] did this because she was jealous, which explains why…
Understand that your unique interpretation of motives/symbolism/foreshadowing/anything is extremely valuable
Be honest, but diplomatic
Bookmark/rec works if you enjoy them, esp to help lesser-known writers
You can copy/paste from this post into your reviews. It’s hard to find the right words sometimes, but for writers, anything is better than silence.
hey there, people!
I just read Blue is the Warmest Color (yeah, read -- they say the movie is too explicit, and the director is a man, so...) and it is one of the best comics I`ve ever experienced. Perfect for Pride Month! That said, Life is Strange totally based Max and Chloe off Clementine and Emma (the protagonists of this story).
It does have the bury your gays trope (it is not a spoiler, please don’t kill me), but I’ll forgive it because of the wholeness of the story, the nudity/sex (just a few panels) scenes that weren’t porn and had an actual reason to exist, and our amazing Chloe Price, I mean, Emma.
Sure, it has its faults and ends kind of abruptly, but it is a good read and featured a nice coming-of-age arc, homophobia, gay pride, and the amazing contrast of blue hair against the black-and-white of the rest of the panels! Also, I know it’s not nice, but um... there’s a free and safe pdf here for y’all (like me) who can’t afford to buy the actual novel hehe.
