Every gifset of Filter I see here and your added tags are the best!! I'm not going to watch it (or find out what it is actually about), for sure it cant live up to the story I see created here XD Poor ghy pining for his best friend <33 I need a fic ;-P

real talk, every single time I think that gao hanyu cannot be any more deeply pining longing hopelessly in love with his bestie, I see ANOTHER GIFSET and am proven terribly, spectacularly, wonderfully wrong. (huge appreciation to the gifmaker thank uuuu!!). I also have not seen the drama but it's too late I am in too deep, I cannot be convinced he isn't in love and that it's the b-plot to this show. thank u lovely anon for enabling my silliness!

hello, it's the anon who's stopping by! I can't believe I haven't been in touch since 2024, I was so sure I'd sent an ask in January. how have you been?? I hope this year has started off great for you! 💞

a lot has happened here. my goal for 2025 to detach myself from the thing I'd been hanging all my hopes on got sliiightly derailed by the fact that at the end of January the thing suddenly and unexpectedly happened! and then it went downhill after only three weeks and now I'm back to where I was before but the likelihood of the thing happening again in the future is very low. except I have come to the realisation that the thing might not even be good for me, or at least not right now, as I actually have A LOT of things about myself I need to work on. it's been many weeks of many revelations about myself, which in turn brings a lot of feelings I'm having a hard time unravelling.

all this to say, 2025 started with a bang for sure. I think this is probably a turning point for me, where I've become aware of a lot of issues in the way I see things and manage my relationships with other people, and I can either ignore it and keep going as I am, knowing the issues will 100% come back again later, or suck it up and do the work now. which I guess is what I will do, but man, it's a very long road ahead and I don't know where to start. it's all a bit overwhelming. I'm hoping this is one of those things that simply have to happen in life, and that lead to being a well-adjusted (or at least slightly better-adjusted) person when we're older.

anyway. part of the work I'm doing also includes making my life more colourful, so I've been planning some holidays with friends! I'm going to a music festival during the summer, travelling to the Netherlands in a few months, and hopefully visiting some family abroad in a few weeks if we manage to plan everything in time. it's all about having things to look forward to, I guess! I hope you also have nice things planned for the coming months!! I think you said a few days ago that you were visiting family? I hope that went well!

and let's not forget the best upside of all. spring is almost here!! it's actually still bright outside at 6pm!! we made it!! 🎉🎉

wishing you a lovely rest of the week!! 💞 I always enjoy seeing your posts on my dash!

hi lovely anon I'm so happy to hear from you! 💙 I always wonder what you're up to and if things are going alright. I'm not sure where this entire year went or how we got to late march already. isn't it still january??! what happened to this year!

it sounds like things have been a rollercoaster for you, holy moly! oof it can be rough to realize the many of patterns in life kind of come from yourself but from my own experience, figuring out that that's the case is a huge step forward towards changing it. (have I been successful in that in my own life? definitely not, at least not completely. but I guess as long as we're still trying it's progress). good luck with it, and I'm sending all the good thoughts your way! I hooe this is a turning point and that good things are on the horizon.

all those trips sounds amazing, have fun! I've felt the same lately and I keep telling myself I need to make time for more travel, even if it's only a small overnight trip to a city a few hours away. (I'm actually on a plane right now for a big trip, so travel high five!)

and omg warm weather can't come fast enough. im so ready to end this hibernation and put the winter coats away. I say that while traveling to a place where it's colder than when I left lol. but hopefully it will only be a small cold front. I've always wanted to see the cherry blossoms in japan and im super excited to cross it off the bucket list!

so yeah things have been good over here this year. I'm managing my whole shitshow situation, and that's all I can ask for. I was concerned that it might impact my ability to travel but I made some choices that allowed for flexibility in my schedule and I'm very pleased that decision has worked out!

fingers crossed for good things for us both! 💙💙

alright I'm halfway to tokyo and i need to stay up for the rest of the flight so it's time to clear out my askbox finally! (I love when people send me asks even if it takes me a week or more to answer. my brain is not always a great brain)

love waking up to the reminder that my body hates me. I haven't run for two weeks because of that weird pulled muscle (I think that's what it was). I've veen cautious because i'm going on a trip where i will be walking a lot and didn't want to risk injuring myself again. it's been fine, no pain at all. I assumed it was healing.

and then today, a day before my flight after two miserable weeks of not running, I wake up to stabbing pain in that area. it hurts to walk and I'm limping around my apartment trying to pack. it's like my body just knows the absolute worst time to do the worst things.

pls I'm ready for my robot body.

another win for today is that i finally sent all my tax documents to my accountant!

the taxes are filed i have discharged my grownup duties for the year.

it's funny how thinking back at my middle and high school days, I was so embarrassed by my fanfic reading hobby. and so convinced that surely once I was a real adult I would find more grown up (and less embarrassing) hobbies. now here I am in my forties, living in the apartment that I bought and having a career, and when I got the phone call about the taxes being done, I was literally reading fanfic.

happy to say that the shame and embarrassment i felt as a teenager is a thing of the past. fandom and fic (reading and now writing!) is one of my fun hobbies and and i plan on doing it for decades to come.

Fanfics are a big part of what inspires me to draw fanart, but I have just seen a post saying that some writers might not like fanart based on their fics to be posted and honestly, I'd never considered that, so if you're a fanfic writer:

to me fanart and fanfic have always seemed more or less like a symbiotic relationship and I personally would love it if someone wrote a fic based on art that I drew, so I'd never really considered that someone might not like it

Something else to consider - fanfic writers writing little gifts to artists.

I would SCREAM with joy

This is why you should have a Permission Statement! That way people will know if you like art or podfic or whatever for your fic, rather than having to guess. (Or ask, or be unable to ask and thus assume 'no' to be on the safe side.)

Here's mine for an example: AO3 profile
