i mean, it is disability pride month now if you want to focus on seasonality. but pride shouldn't stop when the date changes, draw all the characters! have fun with it :)

i probably shouldn't tell you that you've achieved essentially semi-mythical status in a certain corner of the fandom then. you ego wouldn't be able to cope

i have a whole bunch of writers who i really admire have left kudos/comments on my fics over the years, and i always get a little starry eyed. you're the latest in an esteemed number (in my opinion)

you are Very much appreciated. I'm in one of the big stobotnik discord servers - the fic links/updates channel basically shut down for about 6 hours (minimum) when chapter 4 dropped. everyone was running to read it, and then having a quiet (public) mental breakdown.

but tl;dr - i really love your writing! it's both one of my favourite fics in this fandom, and it's on my list of Beloved Longfics of All Time. something something "hello"

i mean i'm in fast food. so in the made up hierarchy of service jobs you're probably above me (now i am being silly on purpose)
and i know, but historically i have come across A Bit Intense when i like other people's art (this thread is an excellent example) so these days I don't interact as much

oh yeah
step 1 - inkbomber commented on my FIC!!
step 2 - oh god
step 3 - i must reply
step 4 - what if they see i haven't replied to other comments and think i'm just clout chasing
step 5 - i need to reply to all my backlog of comments
step 6 - don't do that
step 7 - bluesky
step 8 - this???

oh anytime, it's really beautiful art.
you actually commented on one of my fics. and i havent replied yet because i am filled with Terror that a very generic "thanks" (or whatever) will doom me for all eternity.
so im commenting on your bsky instead.

oh i LOVE this fic - a really beloved favourite. and this art is amazing!!!
