Hi there! I have just seeing your latest post and I won't lie, I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to tell us. But I do hope with all my heart that you're alright. I'm part of the anonymous group of people who visit your blog regularly and love all your stories quietly. I mean that, I check your blog every day to see if you have new stories. I'm not saying that to add pressure, but I wanted to let you know that your stories bring a lot of happiness to my day and I want to thank you for that

It was an endless ramble with a lot of waxing poetic on literary devices, but it all boils down to extreme changes in my life that I’m trying to reassemble into a new norm. It’s kind of rearranged my priorities.

Gajeel and Levy’s stories are still very dear to me, but things have changed in the audience and me. We’re not on the same page and I was constantly feeling like I had missed a mark somewhere. I no longer want to write, it’s not a bad feeling. But I will stress something I’ve always stressed - even if you remain anonymous, please let anyone that is a writer or artist know that they make you happy. Even if it’s a short and simple thank you, it will go a long way. It will mean so much to them. I understand how intimidating and scary sending messages can be on here, but just know that I believe in you. It’s going be okay. Take your time, you’ll get there one day.

I’ve gotten a few other messages, but I genuinely haven’t had the time to address them. I won’t be on tumblr really at all anymore and, especially, this blog. metalicana has become an archive.

if you’ll pardon me for using the tag, I wanted to be sure this corner of the vast internet plains and fandom valleys (as you can see, I’m just as heavy-handed as ever) that did so much for me saw this - as an apology and thanks.

And I realize that sounds entirely pretentious and that’s definitely not my intention. I come to you in the most humbling voice.

Is it weird that reading "Can You Hear the Lark" while listening to the song at the same time had me thinking about Casablanca?

Absolutely not weird! The oneshot is set during the 40s, so knowing that you got a Casablanca feel from it gives me complete satisfaction, meaning my intent was met. 😊

can you hear the lark

one of these days I’ll work something other than aus I started in 2014, but today is not that day

so strange the change (x)

He had remained politely distant and respectful the entire car ride to the airport - yet, she was the Brit.


That brisk morning as bleak as the dark gray coat he wore coiled uncomfortably with the remnants of mid-morning tea in her stomach. She wasn’t used to this side of him, usually he was telling her what she was going to do when, where, and that if she knew what was good for her - if she didn’t want to get shot - she wouldn’t ask why and just do it. It was easier to flagrantly toss her proper upbringing out the window and give him what for if he truly believed she would play second fiddle.

But the harder thing, the thought louder than any other, was wondering to herself if she’d pluck up the nerve to genuinely take his advice and act without restraint, just irrational and defiant.

white noise - 4

I | II | III gratuitous amount of natu + gajeel brotp

“So, did I miss a news story about burglars that are particularly invested in fancy and extensive volumes on sign language being on the loose?”

Gajeel turned in his spot, groaning as his cousin leaned against his book case - with one shelf criminally ransacked and showcasing a layer of dust that would have his mother cringing. And with that train of thought, he realized having to answer to Natsu was infinitely easier than answering to Voeda Redfox. Especially since Voeda Redfox would know exactly why the books were missing.

He shrugged, “We never use them anymore, so I donated them.”

Natsu tucked his tongue in his cheek, fighting a face-splitting grin. “You’ve never been a good liar.”

“That wasn’t a lie. Someone who doesn’t know sign language is in possession of them…for free and for an unstated amount of time.”

“Charitable. And you wouldn’t have lent them to her for personal gain now, would you?”

Oh, he was busted.

New beginnings weren’t particularly up his alley, but Makarov had contacted him and proffered news of someone Cobra - Erik, the assuming old geezer called him - had a keen interest in. A someone that was living and protected by her new beginnings and haunted by clouds rolling in on her subconscious as halfway memories started to wake her in the middle of the night.

white noise playlist (I II III) | preview

as the tracks are being finalized and I go on a mad rush for some sort of cover art for the mix, I do want to say that this (and really all of my playlists) follow a narrative. Even as it spills forward into a narrative that you haven’t seen yet. but with this particular playlist, it will follow a back-and-forth narrative from Levy and Gajeel’s alternating pov.

I’m kind of eager for you to see this one and maybe try to gleam an idea for how the story will play out.

Stunning

I’m just now realizing the task I have put to myself with these because so many wiiiiiiips and I can’t immediately think of anything because I’m constantly checking my adjective game with a thesaurus. but anyways.

so one hundred years later, I find I don’t actually use the word stunning in any wips??? I use synonyms too often, apparently. Here’s a snippet from a Christmas tree thing I started to type out forever ago but too late to do anything with and only half way-ish done, but definitely puts stunning to use?

When they pulled up to a mansion, she paled.
Her beat down Jeep and beat up boots felt too small in the moment he pulled up to a back door, letting her out so she wouldn’t have to trudge through the snow from where he’d have to park her car.
Levy bit her lip and reached for the door handle.
“No one’s gonna jump ya, if that’s what yer worried about.”
She shook her head. “I can’t even afford to look at this house.”
For once, she was relieved when she was met with his rude, derisive snort. “Good, because it’s not for sale.”

I've gotten a couple of requests here and there, so I guess I need to do some story telling: - I got a new job! - practically every procedure is backwards from what I was used too and it's made for an extensive, intense training period - my shifts are all 7 to 8 hours and most of them are late nights - atm I don't have the time or inspiration to devote to the neat-o requests I'm getting - however!!!! your requests are being filed away for when I get the chance 😊 Thank you so much for the interest, support, and patience!
