the book: “aesthetics is a kind of heresy which desecrates what is precious; it will clip an angel’s wings.”
me, already thinking of Kaveh: oh okay. so you’ve met him.

THANK YOU FOR THIS BLESSED CHAOS 💛💛💛

Honestly, I am unwell in the best way. You keep making art that feels like getting tackled by love and stabbed by yearning at the same time, and I just? Can’t thank you enough?? These comics are offerings at the altar, and I am on my knees with gratitude and also clutching my emotional support tea.

The smirk?? The pose??? The pen held like a dagger of romantic devastation??? I’ve never seen a more accurate depiction of what happens in the soul of a fic reader who sees a tag list that includes “slow burn,” “emotional repression,” “mutual pining,” and “accidental bed sharing.”

OH MY GOD—

YOU DID WHAT?? AGAIN??? I AM SOBBING. I AM SCREAMING. I AM SLIDING DOWN THE WALL IN MY METAPHORICAL STUDY CLOAK.

I have NEVER felt more honored in my entire fic-writing, character-torturing, slow-burn-worshipping life.

[tucks you into a pile of metaphor-laced blankets and feeds you more fic crumbs with sparkly tongs]

I’m going to frame this and hang it on the proverbial fridge of my heart forever. Thank you for the love. For the ficsnacking. For the beautiful chaos. For the fact that you drew this??? I am not worthy but I am so, so grateful 💖💖💖

✨THANK YOU MY DEAREST GREMLIN-FIC-CONSUMER I LOVE YOU FOREVER ✨

LOOK AT THE WAY YOU CAPTURED ME. LOOK AT THE LITTLE SMUG “go check it out~” ENERGY. LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE THIRD PANEL—SHINING. VIBRATING. DERANGED. IN LOVE. YOU'RE LIKE A PRECIOUS GEMSTONE AWWWWWWWWWW

OH MY GOD 😭😭😭

I SAW THIS AND HAD TO PUT MY PHONE DOWN. I HAD TO WALK A LAP AROUND THE ROOM. I HAD TO STARE AT A WALL. THIS IS THE FUNNIEST, SWEETEST, MOST FLATTERING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE—

Aw, thank you for feasting with me! 💕 Zhongli thinks he's being composed. He is not. Meanwhile Childe’s already planning their wedding in six different time zones. (Probably with powerpoints.) I had way too much fun writing their “we are so normal about this fake dating thing (we are not)” dynamic 😆
