i, like every other fic author in existence, love getting comments from people who enjoyed my work. i don't care if your comment is "late" (that's so weird to me like it's literature—do you apologize to homer for being late to reading the odyssey?) or "unintelligible" (late night commenters, english language learners, people who feel like they "just aren't that good with words", believe me, i entirely understand what you mean and appreciate it immensely), or anything else that you feel might make your comment 'not good enough'. i love all of the comments i receive and i am eternally grateful to all of you for your continued support.
and yeah, i've read fics where i felt like adding a comment would be doing the fic a disservice because there was nothing that could be said that wouldn't cheapen or patronize the magnum opus i'd just witnessed. in instances like this, that is exactly what i say in the comment: "there's nothing i can say that doesn't do this work of art a disservice. thank you for writing this."
actually, now that i think about it, there are a bunch of ao3 comments i've gotten that i still haven't replied to because i felt any thanks i could give would be inadequate. i should really get around to replying because i want them to know how spellbound they left me. i love you all, have i ever mentioned that?
all of that being said, i would like to make a public service announcement!
at least under default settings, ao3 authors do get notified every time you edit a comment. i've accidentally hit send too early before, or realized i forgot something i wanted to say, i get it, i really do. i have edited many comments in my day.
but you don't have to do this. really, it's okay. most of the time i honestly can't tell what the difference is. i'm not going to think worse of you for having typos in your comments because i guarantee that there were more in the fic you just read sfkljghsl
also these edits were over the course of twenty full minutes. i got another email while writing this post and had to update the image. please do not spend 20 minutes agonizing over your comment and changing the capitalization and adding a few words. it's okay, i promise. i love your comment, and i'm very very grateful for it, regardless of how "polished" it is. i'm not your english teacher in disguise.
tl;dr, i love you all and i hope you don't feel anxiety or a compulsion towards perfectionism in my ao3 comments section. i won't judge you, i promise <3

omg, so re: a sad sweet anon in my box who was worried that i divorced the boys forever; they're FINE, baby!!!! i promise </3333 it was just a really bad, fucked up month and they're Fine after that (unless i create some other problems, but for now i will spare you)
BUT THEY ARE FINE, MY LOVE!!! SWEARSIES!!!!
i promise you that that on the night jerseykyle gets in that nasty bar fight defending ravenstan's honor (in his absence) against a band of idiot incel transphobes and shows up on their old apartment door step all broken and bloodied before he gets reluctantly tended to and patched up by punk rock nurse ravenstan via several hello kitty bandids...at the end of that exchange, they get back together. c':
kyle also says i love you. <3333
it's kind of a lot for me to speed run entire scenes because they take so long, but just for you, petal, i'm gonna try and get you the sparknotes on the ravesey reunion asap. and please know that as emotional compensation, in lieu of the jersey can't say i love you ask that i was never able to finish/threw into other answers...
i will instead be writing you...
the jersey CAN say i love you ask!!!!! eeee!!!
it's very cute; i'm excited about it.
tldr; ravesey is fine, i'm sorry for scaring you. :'c i promise!!!! i am a hurt comfort writer even though no one believes me!!!! i'm just so much better at the hurt part than the comfort, but i'll comfort you!!
so please hold darlings, and rest easy knowing that.

when will said it was "strange knowing who it was this whole time" and "he's hurt, he's hurting, but he's still alive" was he not talking about henry? am i insane? did i misinterpret that scene? why are we acting like will is connected to anyone other than henry bro what is Happening 😭
that was henry that shaped the mind flayer into that spider-like form and it was henry that used it to possess will and it was henry's thoughts that will was experiencing against his will and it's henry that he's still feeling because the connection/"vecna's curse" hasn't been broken. they physically extracted the mind flayer from will's body, yes, but his connection to henry was never broken. henry can't exercise complete and total control over people without the mind flayer's power, which is why will has free will over his body but his mind remains connected to henry.
the characters, and by extension the viewers, thought it was the mind flayer behind everything, because they didn't know what season four revealed to us.
henry wanted to control will's mind and body—a complete and entire violation of everything will is. that was Not the mind flayer, and they tell us that more than once. with all love and respect what are some of you on about because you're starting to make me feel like my memory is genuinely broken or something lmao like i thought.... the big reveal was that it's always been henry? they literally say that? eleven, henry, and will all confirm it? the mind flayer was not a separate entity acting alone... thus will has beef with henry most of all because henry's violation of his mind and body is still ongoing... Where Are You Guys Getting Your Information From 😭 hELP
will's rape—because that's what possession is, he never consented to having his mind and body controlled by anyone else—is an important part of stranger things; both to the general plot and will's character. to say that will only has beef with the mind flayer and not henry is reducing what henry did to him and reassigning blame that very much falls on henry's shoulders. henry was controlling the mind flayer and henry is the one still in will's mind. henry used the mind flayer to have control over will. henry and will are connected. the show literally tells us that over and over again. when you decide to needlessly reassign blame, not only are you misunderstanding and misconstruing the plot, but you're also... not understanding what happened to will at all. like, what really happened to him and how that's used in the show.
henry very likely was the one that kidnapped will. henry is the one that will has a psychic connection to. henry is the one that raped will / possessed him if you prefer that term instead and used the mind flayer to do it. henry is the one that will still knows like the back of his hand, because henry is the one that's still in his head. it's not the mind flayer. it's henry. please stop saying that will doesn't have more than enough reason to want to kill his ass. please!!!

A kind of short and maybe not sweet, but hopefully not too mean notice.
TL;DR version of it: For personal blogs following and/or interacting with my posts, this is just an rp blog and I'm here for funsies and I'm totally fine with you also having funsies with anything I write/say, but please don't reblog my in-character content and mega-please don't come into my posts or DMs to start a debate club session on how you don't agree with my hcs or because you dislike the character I'm writing! Also just in general don't be weird about SQX's gender.
Since there are a few personal blogs following me and/or engaging with my posts, I just want to state very plainly that this is a roleplay blog for SQX. Outside of reiterating what we already know to be canon from the books themselves, nothing I say, write, or draw is canon. This iteration you're seeing of SQX is built off the books, extras, interviews + my personal headcanons and thoughts based on how I interpret each character, relationship, and story arc. While I aim to stay as close to canon as possible with my interpretations and writings, I also intend to flesh out what I personally feel I need to in order to rp them both inside canon settings and outside them. Again, none of that is canon and I wouldn't claim it to be so!
I don't mind personals following me and liking my posts, but please please please do not comment on or reblog any of my roleplay threads or asks I have. If you ever come across a headcanon post you like, I'm... somewhat alright with it being reblogged (basically please just ask! I promise I don't bite and it'll likely be a yes). I'm totally fine with having convos about anything related to SQX and t/gcf at large in DMs too! Basically I ask that my roleplays get left untouched.
I also understand some of my posts are inevitably going to end up in search/tag results, no matter if I censor and/or shorten names or not. I apologize if that causes clutter and please do block if you need to in order to get rid of it! But. That is not an invitation for you to hassle me about it. It's also not open invitation to come at me with a bone to pick about how I talk about XYZ character or how I interpret ABC relationship. And it certainly isn't an invitation for you to disparage the character I'm writing and insult me for choosing to write them. Frankly I won't tolerate that about any t/gcf character 'cause this is like... The Superfantabulous SQX Show Supreme, idk why you'd sit down for it and then be surprised she's at center stage. You're allowed to be a proud hater in peace, just don't disturb my peace ya feel? But if you're going to be a weirdo about SQX's genderfluidity and try to start shit about it then you can be a hater in agony. I'm not changing my mind on that.
This isn't aimed at any personals currently following me-- you're welcome to stay as long or as short as you like!
