hey don’t cry. trees grow out of the ground.
the night sky has sparkles on it
the creatures live in the grass.
people love to complain about sex scenes in tv shows and violence in movies when the real danger is scenes that make you feel second hand embarrassment.
OH MY GOODNESS NEW FIC!!!!!! i am so so happy im CRYING
first chapter gave me a lot of anxious energy and it seems something is going to happen in the second one? goshhhhh i just aaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!
thank you so much i LOVE your writing style its delicious *explodes like when two stars collide*
Aghdhfjs THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕💜💕 I'm having a lot of fun with both of the wips but goddamn, TWOF is satisfying some weird niche in my soul lol. I hope I can do a good job on it! Thank you for reading!!!
Hello!
A Long and Slow Recovery - are we past the halfway point? I am so excited to see how everything turns out. Did you do a lot of research to delve into Xie Lian’s experience with recovery? It’s very well written with regard to his mental and emotional struggles. Also , I just love how you write Hua Cheng and Xie Lian’s interactions.
Those Worthy of Following( new name change!) - I gushed about it in your comment section but need to emphasize how much I love that opening chapter with the dual between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. And this dynamic, of Hua Cheng being the prince, and Xie Lian being the bodyguard, is A+++. Xie Lian is so calm and kind and powerful. He was so fierce about Hua Cheng not talking down about himself. Like,yes gege, please show your Hua Cheng how precious he is, haha. I ❤️ reading Xie Lian showing his protectiveness of Hua Cheng, even from the man himself. I’m also keen to see how Feng Xin and Mu Qing will take to Xie Lian in this verse too.
Is there anything else you can share about it that’s not spoilers? If not, that’s fine too!
Your writing is just delicious - a pleasure, something to savor and come back to again and again.
Thank you!
Omg thank you so much 💕😭💕 Your comments are always such a delight!! It's so validating and encouraging and I hope you know that!!
Ok but imagine hua cheng singing “I will” by mitski to xie lian as a lullaby (especially on xie lian’s harder nights in alasr)
Especially the lyrics
“So stay with me
Hold my hand
There's no need
To be brave
And all the quiet nights you bear
Seal them up with care
No one needs to know they're there
For I will hold them for you”
If I have to think abt it so do you
Mitski doing god's work 🥺💕 lol I'm gonna be listening to this and thinking about it with you 🤝
I think you should legally disclose if something is ai just like how you legally have to disclose if something is an ad
early to bed and early to rise leaves a man so fucked up that he dies
What order do you take pills in?
If someone did want to narrate some of ur fic (alasr), what would you want to hear the most? what would would u like to see/hear out of it? would u be cool with the narrator having a raspy voice? do u think it would fit? and lastly, would u be cool with it being amature work? I know these are a lot of questions at once, sorry lol
No worries!! Honestly I don't know what kind of feedback to give?? I've personally never really been able to do audio books, so idk what to suggest. Audio dramas yes, but audio books are a little harder for me? I'm a slow reader and I always need to see the words and reread each sentence three to four times to absorb what's going on, and audio books tend to leave me behind. I also have a really bizarre trigger where specifically radio news/radio talk shows randomly send me into panic attacks, so I tend to tread carefully with audio-only, speech-only stuff?? 😂
All of that isn't to be discouraging! I just really don't know what to suggest lol. It's not a medium I'm familiar with, so I'd love to see whatever you decide to do 💜 Do whatever parts you enjoy most! Raspy voice is great! Amateur works are awesome! Just take full creative liberties and do whatever you have the most fun with! 💕💖💕
(mitski anon) p.s. for I don’t smoke, I have the specific lyrics in mind, “Just don’t leave me alone wondering where you are” idk abt the rest of the song tho
That's such a good line though 😭😭😭 clawing at the floor about it brb
I propose some more mitski songs for alasr!hualian: I don’t smoke, I will and Pink in the night <3
Ooooh I love this 👀 I'm gonna have to brush up on my Mitski lol
The end of CH 13 ALASR is so mitski core (pink in the night specifically) I hope this helps <3
“He is still telling Hua Cheng he loves him, and he wonders if he will ever be able to say it right.” and “I didn’t do it right/Can I try again, try again, try again?” (Pink in the night-Mitski). This right here specifically.
Omg I feel that 😂💕 Thank you so much for reading!!!
the funniest thing about ttrpgs is that you can create a guy and say "his name is blorbo bleebus. he sucks severely. i hope that many misfortunes befall blorbo bleebus. he does not deserve to be happy." and at least one of your friends will immediately jump in to say "noooo... don't bully blorbo bleebus... i love blorbo bleebus..."
