hello!!! hi!!!!! i recently found two of your fics and god. i’m deranged. unusual haunts almost made me cry, which is like. the me equivalent of bawling someone’s eyes out lol. the way you write emmet and reader so tender. holding them gently in my hands

eterna. i have Thoughts about eterna. i love volo hes such a freak (affectionate) and. yesssss your backstory for him like. i’ll never see time looped characters as anything other than sympathetic, even if they were fucked up before the looping started, but. i love his backstory, i love his descent, i love him manipulating emmet into going to sinnoh, wonder what his plan is with that lol. hikari and ingo make me insane that just a guy and his daughter!!! and i don’t think i’ve personally read any fics where hikari was an idol and not gunning for champion. and god the way emmet and cynthia’s grief are portrayed. i love it. i love it!! i love how much personality you give all of the pokémon, i love how you mix up all of the canon relationships to make them feel realer (i don’t think that’s a word) and more affectionate i love them i love this fic if i reread it i’m sure i’ll have more thoughts but right now i’m looking at your other fics lol

i hope you’re having a good day!! be safe drink water eat a good meal and have fun!!!!

i’m absolutely floored by this ask 🥺🧡 i’m so grateful you sent me this—thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! i’m overjoyed that you’ve been enjoying both eterna and unusual haunts. unusual haunts is one of my favorite pieces of writing & i’ve had a blast writing the plot for eterna. i’ve always loved exploring and expanding upon character relationships in my work, so i’m happy to hear that it’s coming through.

thank you again for this ask anon. it’s the boost of confidence that i needed today! comments like these always encourage me to keep doing my best, so i’ll carry these good feelings with me :)

hope you’re having a good day as well. your words are very precious to me. take care! 🧡

lots of love,

grub

Hello! Reread your Undertale work with Snowy again recently and it made me Feel Things. It was cold, it was wet, and I had tea and an amazing story, and yes, I did end up having a good cry too. Thank you for all the hard work and love you put into everything you write, it makes Good Cry days happen and make life just a little more worth living for having such wonderful things to read during it.

it sounds like you had a good cathartic cry, i hope you’re feeling better after it 🥺🫶 i’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed scenic our house to that extent..your words bring me so much joy. i truly appreciate it! thank you for taking the time to send me this.

i really love writing (if that wasn’t obvious), writing stories brings me joy & comfort on both good days and bad. so to hear that others find that same enjoyment from reading my work makes my writing experience all the better. thank you!

take care of yourself 🫶

lots of love,

Hello!! I just wanted to say thank you for writing Smooth Operator-- it teleported me directly from 0 to Submas obsession lol. 🚂🚂 I didn't even get to pass go or collect $200. And I wanted to show you this cute plush I got at Target because it reminded me of the Operator! Especially the cupid AU lol.

Hopefully that's not weird? A plush of someone else's OC? 🤔

Good day grubbin!! do you have any oc close ups??

They're all incredible and I would like to have a better understanding on how they look like if it isn't a bother lol.

Hope your pillow be cold tonight ✨

hello anon! you aren’t a bother at all, i was delighted by your kind ask!

here are all of the original character designs i have so far. the first character sheets are from my fic smooth operator while the last character is from my fic scenic our house! these fics are both reader-inserts, so you can imagine & interpret the characters as you’d like—but i hope you enjoy my designs for them as well! 🧡

thank you again for your words and your support! hoping your pillow is cold tonight as well 🫶✨

lots of love,

Hello!

I’ve stumbled across your fics a few times in the past couple years during times of Pokémon Fandom obsession. Most notably, Smooth Operator. Most the time I’ve rediscovered it, I’ve read it up to the most recent bit (I think the last update I saw before I found this again was chapter four? Ish?), loved it, quietly yearned for more, daydreamed, and moved on.

Just today I found a commission depicting a verrrrry familiar setup. Elevator operator. Charjabug on shoulder. Submas. I revisited the fic.

I make no exaggeration when I say I squealed. 15 Chapters. 329,200 words. Complete. I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. Thank you for this blessing. Your work brings me great joy.

hello anon! this ask made my night, thank you for sending it 🥹🫶 that commission is just stunning, isn’t it?! ✨💖 i could not be happier—and this message has brought me great joy as well! i hope you enjoy the remainder of smooth operator, and thank you again for your kind words. though, please do try to get some rest at some point & take care of yourself! 🧡

lots of love,

grub

Hi Grubbin!

I just wanted to let you know I absolutely loved Smooth Operator, and that you were the person that made me realise that Ingo and Emmet existed. (Was I living under a rock? Maybe. I'm also not a big fan of battling, so learning that you interact with them... after 20 consecutive battles... made me realise why I never met them before. Lol.)

You've inspired me to make my own fic! Which makes me really, really happy, since I haven't written in a very long time. (I'd like to dedicate it to you when it's done, just because you've given me A Fixation™.)

I really love the way you've characterised everyone in the story, as well as having a lot of focus on the pokemon, too! I thought there'd be way more pokemon interaction in the pokemon fandom, but when people like a character, I guess the pokemon get side-lined.

Grubbin has always been one of my favourite pokemon (alongside the weedle line, joltik, leavanny, and spinarak) so I'm ecstatic at this happy coincidence. :D

I also love your drawings. They're great. I especially love the flat expression on The Operator's face.

Aaaaaah, anyway, I really appreciate your drawings and your writings. Sorry for the incohesive ramble, haha. Have a good day! :)

Avatar

hello there leprechaun! this ask made my day, thank you for sending it. i feel like i should apologize for giving you A Fixation..perhaps some day it will bring you to win 20 consecutive battles on the battle subway. (maybe it will make you feel better to hear that i have made it to emmet and ingo but have never once won against either of them. my battling strategy is just ‘use attack moves until it faints.’ lol.)

anyway, i’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed smooth operator! i had so much fun fleshing out the characters, and the nuances of life with pokémon was one of my favorite parts of the story to explore. i’m genuinely enthused that you enjoyed all of it..to the point you’ve begun your own fic? 🥹💖 i’m honored! feel free to tag/dm me when you’ve started it as i would love to support you and give it a read—especially if you decide to dedicate it to me?? i’m blushing, gosh..thank you so much 🥺

i’ve very happy to hear you’ve enjoyed my drawings as well ☺️ the operator is a reader-insert, so everyone is free to imagine them as they’d like, but i’ve also had a ton of fun bringing their inexpressive face to life. goooing up!

grubbin solidarity! bug type solidarity! 🤝 & don’t get me started on how much i love joltik and spinarak! such good mons. 🧡

anyway, please don’t apologize for this lovely ask! i’ve read it quite a few times as it’s brought me much joy. i hope you’re having a lovely day and best of luck writing!

xoxo

In terms of fan-binding, do you have any opinions on someone getting a commission of one of your fics, or do you prefer that to not happen? Would you accept it if equal pay was sent to you? NOT GOING TO DO THIS WITHOUT PERMISSION OBVIOUSLY but I wanted to ask! Thanks for your time and great work!

hello there! thank you for the ask! i do not want my fics to be redistributed for profit. if you are doing the binding yourself and creating it for personal use only, i fully support it! however my works are meant to be free fanwork, so i do not want them to be commissioned into physical copies for money even if i would get a portion of the profit.

an easy way to think of my policies is to think of my fanfiction writing as works of fan art! in summary, please do not repost it, please do not sell, commission, or plagiarize it (this includes feeding it to ai and paraphrasing it) and please do not redistribute it for profit in any way.

obviously i cannot control what every individual does, so these policies are based on my trust for all of you. so i thank you for sending this ask—it means a lot to me as a fan author.

again, i truly appreciate you reaching out and checking for permissions from me. 🧡🫶 have a wonderful day/night!

#fanfic policies#my writing#asks#thank you for the ask!#…i’m also still editing a majority of my competed fics so fan bind (for personal use only) at your own risk#lol
