INDEFINITE HIATUS

             DIE SCHATTEN WERDEN LÄNGER                           ( the shadows become longer )              AND DIE LIEDER WERDEN KALT UND SCHRILL                           ( and the songs become cold and shrill )              WARUM HÄLT JEDER STILL ??                           ( why does everyone hold still? )

                                                           ᴅᴇᴄᴇᴍʙᴇʀ 21, 2012                      The night which, on a whim, I made a blog for Regina MIlls, never                      knowing what impact that decision would have on  my  future.  Or                      that she would be a muse who would stick with  me  for  so  long                      and who I would grow to love as much as I do.  I’ve made so very                      many amazing friends here. Lost some too. I’ve  learned  a great                      deal of lessons, and grown exponentially as a writer and  person.                      The following  list  will  be  highly  biased. My  turn  to thank those                       who, whether in big or small ways have changed  my experience                      here on tumblr for the better. Thank  you  to  everyone who’s ever                      said a kind word, written with me, or made me laugh.  No matter                      where you are now, if we’re friends or not. You’re all a part of  my                      life, and without you I wouldn’t be  the same person  I  am  today.                                                           ♥ ɪ ғᴏʀɢᴏᴛ ʜᴏᴡ ᴍᴀɢɴɪғɪᴄᴇɴᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ♥                  themagnificenthatter  •  verycleverkitty • gentlearcher  •  agodwhoruins                  ofscalesandbetrayals • snowiiisms • trustnosp00k • aheartforaqueen

I’m not going to make a big deal about how many followers I have or brag about how long I’ve been on tumblr — I’m just going to say that my time here on this account has been well spent. I’m a better writer than I used to be; I have more friends than I used to have; I appreciate more than I used to even realize. I’m humbled by each and every one of you, your gifts, your passion for your shows and movies, your desire for knowledge, and your astounding ability to support me, no matter what. for that, I am forever grateful.

while I cannot include every single person on this list, I can assure you that each and every one of my followers holds a special place in my heart.

constant as the stars above...

    I’m probably never going to get over this crazy feeling every time I reach a milestone, especially on Mulan. I don’t know where most of you came from, or why you’ve stayed—I never expected to do much with this blog at all, and I know I haven’t made as much time as I should have, or been as outgoing, to get to know every single one of the four hundred of you. So it really does amaze me when my follower count makes that big leap every few months or so. I hope I’ve made your time here worth it.

    I don’t really know how to celebrate this milestone. And I feel so bad saying that, especially right at Christmas, but the fact is I’m not competent at editing (see above), and when I’ve tried to do giveaways of writing and mixes in the past, well, they don’t exactly get the same enthusiastic response. I wish I could give you all something special, an edit or a gift or something, but as it is, I give you my thanks.

    And not to toot my own horn, but that’s a pretty big deal—I am, really, deeply-moved every time I look at my follower count and notice it’s jumped up. I’m not here to collect followers; I love writing Mulan, and I love that I can share that with other people. But admittedly I’m a stage actor, used to an audience; admittedly I’m human, and I have days where I feel like I’m performing for an empty theater. I have days where I feel invisible. Being able to look to the right and see that four hundred of you disagree? I can’t explain how much of a difference that can make to my entire day.

    So again, thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. I hope each and every one of you feels, at some point, as happy as I do writing this. I can’t recognize every person in this post, it isn’t a full-fledged follow forever, but I do want to give special thanks to:

╣veterans╠

╣recruits╠

╣civilians╠

    As always, if you don’t find yourself on this list, please don’t take it personally—it probably just means you have some befriending to do, and you’ve got my next 100 to do it ;). Happy holidays again, everyone, and thank you SO so much!!

I’m going to skip over the sappy, crocodile tears and get straight to the point. I don’t know what over 800 of you are doing here or why you decided to hit that follow button, but I’m incredibly grateful you did. You guys have been so fun to chat and talk to or simply admire on my dash. For everyone that I follow, whether you’re on this list or not, thank you. You’re awesome and I hope you realise that.

This list is a hodgepodge of people I’ve interacted with either recently or in the past, and people I simply enjoy seeing on my dash but haven’t had the guts to approach. If you’re not on this list, it’s not because I don’t absolutely enjoy you. I’m just a forgetful piece of trash. ;w; I love all of you guys, okay? Okay.

               The guards alerted him even before the maids  did,   although  the           maids were certainly far more FRANTIC about it.   They  only  relaxed           enough  to  be  audible  when  he  practically COMMANDED it,   and           once they explained the situation, Hans frowned and dismissed them           with little more than a short wave of his hand.    Almost as though she           had gone mad, they said, which only made him sigh.    Apparently, he           had to fetch his wayward wife. After pulling on a coat, he stepped out           into the rain, instantly catching sight of her across the courtyard.   Al-           ready, his hair was plastered to his forehead with rainwater and he lif-           ted a brow at his princess in question.
