feeling super sentimental today after all of the incredibly supportive feedback off of the Boring series I've started. I've wanted to change this idea of what a "reader" can look like for a while, especially in the fandom. High Tolerance and IPTPYW have started that, but the Boring series is taking it a step further.

I see less of myself in a lot of fics because of the shy!reader and readers who are less confident in themselves. personally, I've gone on a journey this past year to start loving myself and it's translated into confidence about my intelligence, my self-worth, and my body (a big one that I never thought could happen).

while this is OKAY and not everyone is at the same point I am, I still want to instill that feeling for people who either need to see it or feel the same way. give us some fucking girl power because !!!! I think reminding you as a reader that you're awesome and deserve respect is amazing. especially when we know that Eddie would be absolutely into it and would go for that reader as much as a shy reader. I believe Eddie would be motivated by it and super drawn to it. He would go after that person, even if it makes him a little intimidated.

I've grown tired of seeing a reader being a placeholder for the male gaze and used as an object rather than a person. we've grown accustomed to a "mean" character who is confident but can't be kind and multi-faceted. I'm proud to say I can take those elements and expand upon them with this series and all the work I want to continue.

this on top of printing my novel and seeing it all laid out in front of me has me all blubbery and soft. so thank you to everyone. I will be replying to comments when I can but alas I'm gonna be gone this weekend! thank you again!

Hello there. I’m new to this blog, so I don’t know what to suggests. Do you perhaps have any suggestions? (If you take names for Anonymous people, please call me Rei or Eli. ^^)

We do take special anons, so welcome to the squad! And honestly you’re free to send in whatever you’re feeling! Could be wanting fluff, smut, or whatever else, so don’t worry about holding back too much! If there’s a request / ask that we don’t wanna respond to, we simply just won’t! That being said we have a huge backlog right now so it might take a while to get to anything new!

#August talks #hi I feel like I haven’t been as active #(it’s because I haven’t been lol and I’m going through a thing) #I’m getting a break which is nice but oof I’m so tired and not ready #When I got back home I was so stressed and emotional #I power walked to the building with pianos on campus and played until my wrists hurt #and I felt sooo much better lol plus it was so empty there I was able to sing a little #And tomorrow I’m getting on a plane xD

honestly love when artists draw copious amounts of fanart for a character and then start adding more and more personal touches or headcanons to how they depict them and then just change their name and adopt them as an original character. its like watching nature heal in real time

#personal #like its simply the best option. theyre yours now! #inches away from doing this to r***** ****** and e**** ******** . i need to get them out of there now !! #think i may infuse some of their Themes and Narratives into augusts story #we'll see idk. i love talking about things and then not following through. gotta have some whimsy yknow #oh to be clear i havent drawn fanart of r***** or e****. they are just on my mind always
