It feels like this every time I write a fic
✦ You Want To Stay With Them
(feat. @emma-pond101, @creepyace8, @thescarfguardian, nickdoodleslol, @bloopybloocurse)
Without any of you, I would not be here today. This is the first time I had a great year.
Thank you all, very much. 💜
why the fuck does english have a word for
but not for “the day after tomorrow”
???
Because you’re not looking hard enough! ;)
Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow
Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday
Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.
english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh
Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”
Lingible (adj): meant to be licked
Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked
Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick
Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer
Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear
and my personal favorite
Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish
This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.
sometimes I hate english and sometimes I love it
AA I’m living for the increase of posts here!!
Because this fic has been my hyperfixation for 4 years, this may have been a fever dream, but was there something about Oscar knowing UT is a reaper? I have a memory of him telling Cloudia something “-about that grim reaper” right at the end of a chapter
A commenter on Ao3 said they get worried when I don't update the fic/this blog for a long time, so I'm now trying my best to show that I am still alive.^^' I only don't really know what to post about orz Anything someone wants to see/know? You know, apart from more frequent chapter updates.
No, not a fever dream! You are correct that Oscar knows that Cedric is a Grim Reaper. He said that to Cloudia in the intermission's (The Reaper, Hosting a Party) flashback section.
The current set of "Oscar" flashbacks will not stay in 1843 (the next flashback will be the last one set in that year); the continuation of that intermission conversation will also be part of these flashbacks :)
Your little fan base is so sweet oh my god (I do the same thing if it’s been particularly long, only reason I touch tumblr some months).
I’m not sure about others, but I’d love to see more out of chapter/behind the scenes. I love when you tell us a bit about the research you’ve done for this fic. Is there any chance you could share a bit about your writing technique? You’re the one that got me into writing my own stories, so I’d love to see some tips!
Im not crazy!! Hallelujah!
Do you think you’d ever end up writing your own book? Your writing, storytelling and creativity is absurdly incredible.
(The new chapter was amazing, but I always get so salty at Milton whenever it even SEEMS like he might steal Cloudia from Cedric (even though I feel like it’ll end up that way). You’ve literally made me fall head over heels for a pairing I didn’t care about (3 years ago before I picked up your ff) anD THEY HAVENT EVEN KISSED)
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've been teary-eyed since I read them :') I am planning to write (and finish) my own book. Getting a novel published is my dream, and I'll try my best^^
And I'm glad you liked the chapter! I thought you were new but you've been reading for three years, omg, hello!! This ship really has a way of sneaking up on you. I found out about it right after I started reading the manga and now I can't finish a fic XD
We'll get to the kiss, I promise!!! Even if the fic never reaches its end, it will reach the first kiss (and hopefully some more).
I would most definitely support an original work by you! I hope one day you can achieve that dream
And hi! Yeah, I’m a lurker. And slightly obsessed with your writing and story. It’s probably the whole reason I’m still in this fandom. I’ve reread it about 3 times now?
