Hi! I have a question, you can ignore this if you want to but I’ve found myself really loving the way you write and the range of writing you can articulate as well. Speaking from someone who is nowhere close to that level of skill you possess, would you mind being able to explain your journey of writing, if you practiced any particular methods or anything else to get to this stage you are at right now? Unless you have been gifted the talent of writing from birth and didn’t need to try for much long or long enough to call it a journey. Could you also spare some tips and advice for someone who wants to start writing stories and what to look into/practice?
I love your work a lot and I am constantly waiting for the notification of your new posts, despite not being a writer myself I do love breaking down and analysing writing and your stories are always such good options for me to look into. Thank you so much for writing and sparing your time to produce such well done pieces of work — I felt extremely corny writing this, excuse me for this language, I promise I’m not a pimp!
THIS ISN'T CORNY AT ALL!!!! ❌🌽❌!!!!
i'm deeply grateful for all your kind words, thank you so so much 😭
i don't mean this in a self-deprecating way, but i've never considered myself a gifted or super incredible writer, i just get hype about story ideas and try to make them as good as i can. due to that, i start sweating when people ask for advice because i don't consider myself qualified... i do have a writing advice tag, but take everything i say with a grain of salt!! if it's fanfic literally all that matters is that you enjoy whatever you're writing.
i'm more than happy to share my writing journey though!! it's kinda fun to reminiscence.
i've loved reading and writing ever since i was a little lock. while thinking about this ask, it occurred to me that what i've always been the most invested in are the characters. i'd think about 275894275 different storylines with them. i didn't start writing fanfic until i was around 11 though, everything was handwritten. or in flipnote hatena.
i did a lot of fanfic writing from 11-14 buuuut then my interest in it kinda fizzled out. it wasn't until i watched hxh for the first time that i took it up again bc chrollo is that powerful. that's when i started conceptualizing HWR. i looked at my early writing folder, the first HWR fanfic i wrote was in 2016 when i was 15 ?? here's a cursed excerpt:
Tumblr media
anyway, once i started making googly eyes at chrollo, it was gg. i've been writing often ever since.
what's helped me the most is to focus on the elements i find interesting. for example, i like fleshing out my MCs, focusing on dialogue, and developing a universe around the main pairing. because i enjoy this so much it's (mostly) always easy to devote time and effort toward it.
so i think it comes down to finding out what niches you like and working with those. some writers prefer to write with heavy prose, others are more succinct, some writers like dialogue, others prefer to be more action based... etc etc. this does require a little time if you're completely new to writing, but you know yourself best. you'll eventually pick up on what part of the story you're most excited to write.
this isn't particularly mind-blowing or anything but i hope it helps some 😭 what completely Altered my mindset was when i realized i can be as self-indulgent as humanly possible. cringe is not in my vocabulary. write a MC where every single character is in love with them if you want. write a 100k word fic about your OC being isekaid into x world. post about your f/os, draw art of you with your fav, go ham.

Hi Twisted Wonderland fandom I'm Jovie
Tumblr media
Here's me!!
As the name suggests, I invaded the Ramshackle dorm and now live rent-free in there. No one knows where I popped out from I just started existing one day in NRC
A little disclaimer to say my persona doesn't 100% represent me as a person, she's just a very silly and feral version of myself I use to have fun and indulge for comfort
Tumblr media
Errrmmm this blog is specifically for twst-related things because my hyperfixation is getting out of hand. I've been around since the EN version dropped (Jesus Christ over two years) and I've dedicated so much time to this game that I think I'm going insane!!!
I'll post mostly about my MC, Jess (bio coming soon I promise) since I wanna flesh them out as much as I can with both drawing and writing!
Expect lots of rambling- I really like talking about this game and my OCs
Tumblr media
Some stuff I'd like to say, ahem:
Feel free to send asks please it's very much appreciated!! Tell me about your ocs or ask about mine, please!! This fandom is so creative and I wanna see more of that here!!!!! Similarly likes and reblogs are very much appreciated!! 💝
I'm a little awkward online and kinda new to being an active member of a fandom, so I only ask for a bit of patience with me lmao
Please, ask to be mutuals if you've been following me for a while, and if I happen to already follow you already feel free to follow back. If any of the 2 cases apply, feel free to be my moot, I'd love to!
Simply, don't be weird or rude. I won't set any rules because I think common human decency is enough to keep in mind 😭
I'm a minor, don't be weird, please.
I'm dyslexic (diagnosed) so if I misread something, feel free to correct me!
Like I said, I love rambling so uhhh if my posts sometimes end up being long don't be surprised
I may post some non-twst stuff if the mood strikes
Unmm Azul's my favourite (if it wasn't obvious) and I'm a certified Azul and Deuce kinnie
Also, I'm Greek, so we believe in Greek Idia supremacy in this household
I'm also Azul's girlfriend/j
Tumblr media
A small guide to my tags (when I remember to tag stuff properly at least)
#jovie's art - anything drawn by me
#jovie's writing - anything written by me (includes both rambles and structured writing)
#jovie's rants - random posts of me rambling/ranting about random things
#jess ariti - my MC's tag
#winter bloom - I ship my MC Jess with Neige, making this their ship name
#yumeship - posts of me shipping my sona with canon characters lmao (mostly Azul because I-)
Tumblr media
But yeah that's about it! I've been meaning to make this for a while, but only now did I decide to finally finish it lmao

Hi! I started reading your story sometime in the last week and I’m OBSESSED! I normally don’t have much patience and can’t get myself to read anything past like 15k or anything that’s still being worked on, but your story hooked me almost instantly! I really liked the description and decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. The detailed descriptions you give pull me into the story and the way you seamlessly switch points of view feels so natural. I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying reading so far and I’m excited for more! ❤️
AW TYSM😭😭 this means a lot, esp since ive been kinda self conscious about the length of my fic lately (and also how long its gonna end up being once im actually done LMFAO) and ik my chapters have gotten ginormous BAHAHA so im glad that even if you don't usually read long stuff you still gave my fic a try and enjoyed it so much + are looking forward to more!!💖💖so ty again😭🙏 AND as usual i'll be using this to answer other asks:
Tumblr media
thank you and AA im glad to hear it!! a lot of people have been telling me ive been inspiring them to draw lately and i love it (im just sorry i dont have any concrete tips to give people other than keep practicing LOL) but good luck and i hope you keep at it!!🥰🥰
Tumblr media
GIRL IDK, IDEK HOW LONG THE STORY IS GONNA BE, but assuming im still brainrotted even when its done then YEAH u wouldnt be able to stop me if you tried😊 (im glad you like them so much as well, ty!!😭)
Tumblr media
thank you!! and yes i usually have at least a vague idea of what i want in the story before i start, though a lot of it didn't become concrete until i started writing/things evolving from there. i made a big (slightly) vague timeline of the entire fic from beginning to (almost) end, and then i keep fleshing it out from there as the ideas keep coming to me/evolving, and for each chapter i make an even more detailed outline, and THEN i get started on the final chapter. so its a bit of a process bahaha, but the brainstorming is really fun!! as for any advice, im not sure. maybe just brainstorm/write down scenes and ideas that you know for a fact that you want to put in your fic, and then try to find a way to connect them to other scenes from there and work backwards. basically WRITE WHAT YOU WANT TO READ, cuz like im my own biggest fan fr, thats the most important part LMAO
Tumblr media
LMFAO speaking of outlining future events.....this may or may not happen in the future/in an epilogue when clora is pregnant and she got those pregnant woman hormones that seb is fighting for his LIFE to keep up with HAHAHA
Tumblr media
ive been drawing since i was 4 years old so...a while. LOL. and if you even look back to the beginning of my blog, my first drawings of seb were SO UGLY💀💀 so if you just keep drawing you constantly get better naturally (also in response to the other ask you sent as well, i use clip studio paint to draw!)
Tumblr media
AW TYYY. AND YES CLORA WILL HAVE ANOTHER MC MOMENT, the ranrok confrontation is still coming, after all...👀👀 and true, idek who would win if clora and seb duelled again with neither of them holding back, but u are so right. even if clora DID win that would do nothing to change sebs mind about how protective he is LMFAO. THANK YOU AGAIN im glad you like my fic + drawings so much!!💖💖
Tumblr media
BAHAHAH in my fic (for smut reasons and so that they could be 17 when they did the nasty) i made clora's bday april 3rd and sebs february 12, so clora is an aries and seb is an aquarius (and yes i just checked and apparently they ARE compatible, so seb can rest. also i just read up on aquarius and damn it unintentionally suits seb so well?? LOL "Aquarius is undoubtedly the most innovative, progressive, rebellious, and humanitarian. " and "They have incredible energy, though they may not always use it wisely. They find it easy to get through life on charm and good looks." LMFAO. ok king we love that

Hello again, and congrats for your 1k!! WOOO!! 🎉🎉🎉 I've just recently follow you and I instantly fall in love with your writing ((I stumble upon like real people do series))
If i may ask how much have you progress in NB? Have you read the new lesson?? 😭😭😭
If you have, I would request for sol's version— since idk why the dev didnt put sol's part in there ((probably him being busy))
If not! I would love to read some serious talking between MC and Solomon about their relationship.. like, well you know right Solomon have been through like A LOT.
Once again, congrats!! 🎉🎉 You deserve it (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
thank you!!!!! that series is my pride and joy i worked so hard on it and the feedback for it has been so !#@!@#!@!@!@!!!@!@!@!@!!!!!!!!!! /pos
i'm like halfway through lesson 12,,, i didnt get to it until like two days after its release and my cards are pretty weak (OBEY ME STOP HAVING CRAZY STRENGTH JUMPS BETWEEN LESSONS CHALLENGE ITS LITERALLY THE 12TH ONE!!!!! makes me worried for lesson 20 smh)
this isn't exactly a one word prompt but meh its cute so!! plus ive gotten SO MANY solomon rqs for the event i love you guys C: thank you again!! ^^ <333
SPOILERS FOR OBEY ME NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 12
The door opens once again.
Nobody should be in your room this late. Not any of the brothers, at any rate.
“Hey, MC.” Solomon sighs, kneeling at your bedside.
Your heart thunders in your chest at the tender look on his face, eyebrows furrowed and lips twisted into a wry smile. If you didn’t know him any better, you’d say he found this amusing. That’s probably what he likes to think.
“It’s been a while. Three days too long.” he says, reaching out to you, “You’ll come back soon though, right? You wouldn’t want to leave me all lonely.”
He cups your face, brushing his thumb over the skin. He mumbles something about how you’re still warm and that’s good, but it breaks your heart because that means his mind is telling him you might be dead. You wish you could move, you wish you could pull him into bed next to you and thank him for everything he’s done for you. He’s put himself in the most dangerous of situations, even braving time itself to come back and save you. He made sure you weren’t alone and stayed with you when you needed someone the most, and yet he still feels as though he’ll never be enough for you.
At this rate, he’ll destroy himself for you.
But Solomon just laughs. He sucks in air through his teeth as if he’s in pain, and for a second you can see a grimace on his face.
“I’ll have some of your favorite snacks for you when you come back to me.” he whispers, leaning over your body like a safety blanket, “I’ll make them myself. I’ll make them just for you.”
He kisses your forehead, and you feel a cold drop of something hit your skin.
Tears.
Your heart shatters in your chest as Solomon leaves.

hello hello WHERE HAS THAT ALIEN SOOBIN TENTACLE PORN FIC ALL MY LIFE???????
as a fiend for all things terrestrial and lover of monster fucking i just lost my mind over how mind numbingly good that was
and i mean all of it, like the world building is on top and how i love the power dynamics when mc got into the kingdom, and am i deranged for thinking the scene w mc tied down to a chair was so hot?
oh imma get into soobin like HSJKDODJSJWI ur descriptions on his alien physique and powers was so so good like the image i have of him in my mind is killing me, if i have the skill to draw i'd fill up a whole book w him
AND THE SMUT GODDAMN!!!!!! how mc didn't moan when soobin choked her is beyond me but omfg that got me all fucked up i was starting to feel like im in heat too 😭
like im banging my head on the wall how u manage to build up all the tension from mc being level headed and leader-like to her throwing herself on tyun and hyuka and then still trying to brat out soobin to ultimately get her mind broke.
ALSO THE FACT THEY WATCHED AAAA im making myself ctfu cuz i kept imagining them in their minds w mini spongebobs panicking and burning files while trying to not make eye contact 💀
love how soobin also slowly got softer like he's this tall almighty couldn't-look-into-his-eyes intimidating being back at the palace and now he's a cuddly smug lil shit w mc just cuz they mated 🥹
which btw im also curious as to how he's able to form a bond by injecting his blood (?) into her, which is completely fine by me if u wanna leave that up for Interpretation! im just so interested in this universe, like bullets don't affect soobin? his species instilling fear after mc figured out what he is? could soobin just kill the mc and sever the bond or could he not? like how good of a pussy do u need to have to tame this beast?
u don't have to answer all that im getting obsessed w this fic and the world and i need to stop this is getting so long im sorry 🥲
anw i love ur writing and ur one of my fav writers, that was such a good good read and it's definitely my top favorites now, honestly every fic u put out has impeccable background and again i adore how u write relationships and dynamics so naturally and deep and the whole experience is just so immersive
k ending this here before i add another 10 paragraphs... 🚶‍♀️
hahaha thank you!!! this sudden resurgence of interest for what the body wants was completely unexpected but wholeheartedly welcomed! this fic was the first lengthy, detailed one that i published on here, so it’s such a compliment to hear that you enjoyed it ! <3 and omg, you’re making him wanna draw him now… pause… i think i will after this. 
i honestly was a little worried that both the mc’s and soobin’s change was too sudden 😭 i still feel like i could’ve executed it better, maybe? or maybe i’m just overthinking things, idk. but seriously, that smut was genuinely one of the most insane one i’ve ever written?? i didn’t realize that i’d forever be cementing soobin to a life of nonhuman!aus after that— sorry soobin i simply do not make the rules. 
i answer your questions under the cut!! i also go overboard with it aksbsksn
-[blood bonds? how tf does that work?]
ok. so! in the universe that WTBW is set in, Soobin’s species (that i am too lazy to go check the name of) are seen as absolute indestructible units by both other aliens/monsters and humans. Why is that? Because of their blood! it’s used as a weapon against other nonhumans because it’s toxic and deadly— thus, the reputation of the lilac blood gave the creatures the image of being insanely dangerous. 
as a matter of fact, there are operation sites that breed and harness blood from Soobin’s species because it’s such a sought after (and illegal. insanely illegal.) weapon! and that’s the reason why humans— more specifically, the mc and her crew— are so terrified of the Hexen species, (yes i did look up the name just now.) and more importantly, their blood— because it’s known to be used as a lethal weapon. 
Now, onto the main question; blood bonds, what the hell is up with that? lilac blood is lethal to every species but the one it came from— in other words, it doesn’t harm the hexen species. so, when they give each other / inject their blood into each other (i know, it sounds a little gross) it’s basically their way of bonding/mating— it represents them uniting and becoming one, and is a promise to remain together as long as they’re alive; yeah, they bond for life! 
-[do bullets affect soobin? how strong is he?]
long story short, yes— however, they don’t affect him as much as they would a normal human, or another nonhuman that isn’t as strong as his species. would they penetrate his skin? yes, but it would be a surface wound at most; his species has evolved to be extremely strong because they carry lilac blood and are able to receive it, so their body should be strong enough to handle it, and also, they have like six other limbs to attend to— it takes quite a bit of mental and physical strength to be able to develop and strengthen everything properly, if that makes sense.
could the mc’s crew have taken him down? yeah, a headshot is a headshot and soobin would’ve been a goner askdlh,, but his threats were enough to bring them to their senses bc yk.. he has tentacles that can move at the blink of an eye and he would’ve most likely taken one of them down before getting killed. he’s not invincible, but you do have to put a little extra effort in harming/killing him.
-[could soobin just kill the mc to break the bond?]
here’s the fun part hehe— so lilac blood, when used on humans, doesn’t kill them. Instead, it acts as an aphrodisiac. originally, lilac blood was only used as a weapon against non-humans; in other words, before space exploration evolved into what it is in that universe. Because of that, the hexen species didn’t evolve to combat against humans— which means the deadly aspect is taken away from the whole injection of it all. on soobin’s planet, everyone is already strictly against interacting with humans— the hatred doesn’t run as intense as other planets however, which is why soobin is so indifferent when he encounters the mc without her pin— so really, none of them knew what would happen if you injected your blood into them. 
soobin simply thought it would work as usual; what he didn’t account for, however, was the fact that humans don’t die from it— which means that they’re able to sustain it, and now… soobin’s body and mind thinks he’s just bonded with another of his kind!
as previously mentioned, the hexen species bonds for life— meaning that, if soobin tried to kill the mc, his body would go haywire and immediately think that his mate— his other half— is dead. a life without your mate can be seriously detrimental to both one’s physical and mental health, so soobin wouldn’t have lasted long without the mc; he would’ve been immediately weakened, and the crew would’ve taken that chance to take him down— if they somehow chose to keep him alive, he quickly would’ve died after anyway. (that’s dark sorry.)
ahhhh im so mad i never really included any of this in the original fic, but thank you so much for leaving me such a kind review and allowing me to ramble about this story!! i hope this answered your questions hehe, thank you again!

Thank you for answering my ask and tbh, it takes me forever to process everything lol 😂 i was like, “I should’ve asked one at a time” HALAJAKAHAHA anyways, I was shocked knowing that they got married at a very young age! I thought they were 24 at least 😳 Now I understand why they didn’t consider having a child. (Freaking love the idea of how the two met I hope there can be a drabble about it hahaha OR PT 2 W/ FLASHBACKS 🤣)
but why do they end up marrying each other at a very young age? (SORRY I HAVE SO MUCH QUESTION PLS DO A PT2 HAHAHA lol just kidding… unless? HAJAHA)
I do agree that both of them need to see a mental health professional. I mean, MC’s POV is so much to take that sometimes, I also feel how anxious, terrified and traumatic she feels esp the scene where MC run away when jk found out that they got divorced bc I got goosebumps 🫣
Now I understand why jk doesn’t want a mental health professional. Tbh if I was in his situation, I might go crazy like literally bc I could never handle the situation he has like damn.
Sorry I got a lot of things to say but I freaking love TBV to the point that I haven’t started reading LIAG (bc im planning too hehe) pt.2 maybeeeee? JK HAHAHAHA unless…? LMAO LUV U
Hi!! Gotta love the subliminal requests for pt.2 😂
Therapy is great! Hardest part is to acknowledge you need it - anon, we would be in the same boat, I would def go crazy myself
From my personal experience, people that get into relationships young, tend to move through every step at a lighting speed. One of my closest friends got engaged within a year of knowing the guy, aaand she was 16/17 at the time? Now they are separated. So, yeah, insane, would not recommend.
But for TBV couple; JK was endeared since day 1 by our MC, within like 2 months all of their free-time was spent together. JK introduced her to the lavish life - first row in sold-out concerts, theatre plays all across the world with the fam, dinner parties with her favourite artists, and even the small things - getting collected from work, rather than using the public transportation; but on the other hand, MC showed him a side he was not accustomed to - drive-through cinemas, rave parties, watching football in pubs with her schoolmates.
If you spend that much time with someone, you get accustomed real quick, especially if it’s your first love. It wasn’t an over-thinker when he proposed, even less so when they got married. It just made sense. On the same note, he def introduced MC to his fams within a month; they were curious who’s the girl he’s sneaking out to, even more so when it took half an hour for him to say goodbyes after every theatre play. I imagine Jin teasing him the whole way back, and JK just proudly smiling, not denying anything.
Uuu, do tell how it goes when you read LIAG! Not sure if it will be your cup of tea, as it’s very different from TBV, and the first chapters are more or less for background building/character development. But along the way, it gets very serious, honestly the darkest story I’m writing by a long shot. But LIAG is a series, so it takes a while. And on the same note - I need to check myself and finally start writing the next chapter, TBV is living in my mind rent-free, and it’s about time it moves out 😭
But your requests might fulfil, and after LIAG a drabble might come 👀 but no promises!!!!!!!!

I decided to visit my Tumblr today to catch up on HWU, only to find out the app is getting shut down?! THIS IS THE WORST NEWS OF 2022 😭 And I don't have much time left to replay everything!!!! HUHUHU
The only consolation I have from this is knowing you're still keeping Thomas Hunt and Alex alive through your stories. I always come back to your masterlist to reread everything, especially the Fashion Week series. God, I adore that one so much!!
I don't mind if you write drabbles or a sentence or a full-length novel. Just know I'm devouring them as much as a heartbroken fangirl can 😭 Your writing is superb, and I appreciate you keeping the fandom alive. I hope all the gods in this world gives you all you desire in this life!!!!! That's how much I appreciate you 😂
I would really do anything to see you write your version of a wedding for HWU!Hunt and Alex, though. PB did us dirty by giving a wedding for Chris and MC but not for Hunt?! PB, we demand justice!
But seriously, I'm not ready to say goodbye yet. 😩 Do you still have a slot for the Crying Over HWU party? Coz Imma need an entire row for all the tissues I'll be using while mourning over this news. 🤧
I know! PB did not give us enough notice at all. I've been trying to replay since they made the announcement two weeks ago, but with work and real life, I'm only on level 7. I'll never even make it through a fraction of the game, especially since PB also discontinued currency purchases. I'm so sad 😭😭😭
ahhh you are so so so sweet. I'm so glad you enjoy my Thomas and Alex stories. I will continue writing them as long as I can. I am so glad you love the fashion week mini series as well. I had so much fun writing that one. It's definitely one of my favorites as well!
I don't mind if you write drabbles or a sentence or a full-length novel. Just know I'm devouring them as much as a heartbroken fangirl can
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is the greatest compliment ever ohmygoshthank you!!!! I doubt myself as a writer all the time and feel like no one cares. but ahhh THIS!!!!!!!!!
Your writing is superb, and I appreciate you keeping the fandom alive. I hope all the gods in this world gives you all you desire in this life!!!!! That's how much I appreciate you 😂
lkjsdfljsdlfj I have NO words. THIS! YOU! OMG!!!!
(but if the universe wanted to send me Thomas Hunt, I would not complain lol)
I would really do anything to see you write your version of a wedding for HWU!Hunt and Alex,
It's coming!!!! eventually lol
Thee finale of the Love & Scotch  series will be their wedding. I just have to get back to writing that series.
And yes!!! Please come join my crying party. I have tissues and lots of chocolate and ice cream lol
This is literally one of the most amazing, inspiring, lovely, lsdkjflksdjf messages I've ever received. Thank you thank you thank you for making my day, night, week, month, year LIFE! I will treasure this message for all of time (I'm not even kidding!!!)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't thank you enough for this. It means the world to me. 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰

why MXTX is my new most favourite author
So recently, I started watching The Untamed and then decided midway through that I want that bl so I tried to switch to the novel and that... was a whole fcking mess where now I have no clue what's canon and what's not cause I ended up finishing it by half watching through The Untamed, half through the manhua and half through the novel...
And then I decided to try Scum Villain (SVSSS) and then Heaven Official's Blessing (TGCF) as well because I enjoyed both MDZS and SVSSS. And 3 books later, I'm now writing a post just to express my love for MXTX's wonderful amazing writing. And just to scream into the void of all the reasons why I love her works.
1. Premises
Starting off, her ideas are just very unique and I absolutely love how hooking each of them are!! The world building, the plotting and the settings are insane in practically all of her novels and I'm just in awe of how consistently she keeps coming up with something fresh and interesting that will grab the interest of everyone who stumbles across it.
2. Genres
As somebody who likes to write myself, I consider comedy as the hardest genre to write. Followed by sexual/erotic scenes. And action too! MXTX somehow manages to do all of them so well and I just feel a lot of admiration for her as a writer for all the fun and the heartbreak that she puts into her stories.
3. Romance
MXTX's romance is just *chef's kiss*. There's no other word for it, it's just mind blowingly good. It never gets to the point of being "cheesy" or "cringey" or too forced. It always sounds natural, feels good and feels deep. There is a pattern to how she writes her main characters but I love it. I love that pattern. It's always the other MC (LBG, LWJ, HC) that falls first and falls deep while we see the story from the point of view of someone who falls without even knowing it (SY, WWX, XL). What that leaves behind is the constant thrum of anticipation, of knowing what their actions mean while the main MC is being dumb and frustrating lol. Her dialogues and scenes between them are always just 😵‍💫 [Eg. wangxian's first kiss?? hua cheng's 3000 lanterns??] There is so much love through actions and acts of service and it translates so well into what they have. She writes romance that is meant for the centuries.
4. Characters
MXTX's characters are just. so. good??? Like I'm not even talking about the main characters, it's always the side characters. Like she just has a way of writing such rounded fleshed-out characters with their own stories and own behaviours and own reasonings and you can't help but love them. Really, even the antagonists have so much in them that you can't help but feel for them, even if you hate what they have done. I love how her characterization for each of them is so distinct and clear and their conversations are always so so natural and real and I feel so in awe of the situations she builds up around them. Their problems are always something that can never be blamed onto a single person– they are deep and multi-faceted just like real life. The choices made by the characters are always right in their own terms and you can't even hate them for those choices because you understand the reasoning. That is how real life is and MXTX captures it so so well.
5. Side Stories
Also, what's with her side stories being so fcking angsty 😭 Like beefleaf (Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan) and Banyue in TGCF, XXC/SXC/Xue Yang in MDZS, Shen Jiu and Yue Qingyuan in SVSSS??? She does NOT hold back on the side characters and gives them so much depth that you just start caring for each and every one of them. You see them in a thousand different lights from their own monsters to the smiles they have on now. She writes her side characters like they are real people too and I absolutely love that. So much. That automatically made her one of my favourite authors ever.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my long rant for why I love MXTX and her writing so much lmao. I don't think anyone is interested but I had to get it out of my system. She's fcking amazing.

hii, hope you're doing well. it's been so long since i read something cause of the shitty college life lmao. i just finished five plus one and i must say, i truly truly enjoyed it. tbh i did love it so much that whatever i type out doesn't do justice to it sjmaka firstly, the thing about your works is that, i don't ever feel like i'm reading a fic or anything, it feels like i'm inside the little world within your perfectly crafted words. like- not many writers do that, not even some of the best selling authors tbh. and gIRL WHY MUST YOU MAKE MY HEART GO CRAZY WITH ALL THOSE BUTTERFLY-IE SCENES 😭 i don't even get butterflies irl istg. and your fics always make me feel warm and fuzzy like watching a slow paced rom com while drinking hot chocolate with soft jazz playing in the background after a long day. T.T and yes i did enjoy reading it as much you did writing it, in fact i love it too much. the first read work of yours was planet girl and you've come a really long way and ever since, whatever you write has been becoming my favorite. and not to be cheesy but you indeed are one of my fav writers if not the most favorite. when you decide to publish you're first book, lmk before so that i can save up to buy it ajkalsmwb and the mc, reminded me too much of myself that i teared up a few times. thank you so much for writing my comfort works, i really appreciate you and all your hardwork. five plus one has become one of my favourite fics now ( don't trust me because i say that everytime you post something new 🚶‍♀️) and i was too shy to send it, so turning the anON MODE. i hope you have a great day alex, thanks for making my day!!!! lots of love to you 💗
ahhh hello love <3 yes, college be kicking us in the butt. i feel u. college is so hard jfhksjdhf.
AHHH i'm happy you enjoyed five plus one! AHHH omg the thing about being a true pisces is that i love making imaginary scenarios in my head, to the point where i tend to build up on them and make imaginary worlds. so writing fics about a specific trope or in a particular universe is something i personally enjoy doing because i do it in real life LMFAO. so ahhh just hearing that you feel like you're being transported to the worlds/universe that i create is so good to hear. it's so hard to write a fic because you have to create the characters, but also the world/universe that they are in! ahh i'm just so happy right now :')
LMFAO i tried to add as much fluffy or heart-fluttering scenes to balance out chef!jae being such a twathead skdjhskjdhf
my goal with my fics is to make sure they bring u comfort and so the fact that you feel warm and fuzzy, as if you're watching a romcom while drinking hot chocolate, while reading them means that i'm doing something right!
you're so sweet :') i'm happy to see that you've been enjoying all of my fics, planet girl being one of them. it's just so hard to be consistent! i am honoured to be one of your fave writers on tumblr :')
ahhh you'll have a lot of time to wait for a published book, it's just been something lingering in my mind jskhdfjkshf and there's a lot of work and effort to be put into making one. so i'm just gonna imagine writing and publishing a book for now LMFAO
chef!yn really be touching our hearts :') i tried to make her as real as possible. we all go through tough times on our journey. some people have a successful journey with no obstacles and some people do. i wanted to portray chef!yn as an aspiring chef that learned to work hard to get what she wants and that her hard work will all pay off. i'm glad you related to chef!yn in some type of way because i sure did relate to chef!yn as well when writing her.
thank you for reading my comfort fics <3 getting feedback like this makes writing worth it! and i can't wait to post your next favourite fic LMAO.
i hope you have a lovely day/night wherever you are! you made my entire night, that's for sure <3
stay safe! love u <3

Hello. I just read the "A picture to burn" fic.
1. We love a TS reference and 2. I don’t think the words I’m going to write in here will make justice to the things it made me feel.
I’m gonna start with the obvious, it was an amazing piece of work, you are an amazing writer. You really know how to paint a picture and makes us feel the atmosphere. You had me in tears.
Of course you don’t need any kind of validation from me, but as someone who’s also broken, who was also abused, the way you write Gen’s feelings, let me tell you, it was just perfect. The way it feels to be this seemingly normal person, until something reminds us that we’re not.  
“She was tainted, in more ways than one”, “…afraid of what her broken mind will come up with”, “…after weeks of pretending like she isn’t wounded, he’s finally seeing the broken part”. Ma’am, I – seriously, I had no words, but I have a lot of feelings.
Look, do I love all the other MCs for being so confident? Yes I do. They’re amazing. 👏🏼
But those thoughts Gen had; I believe they’re also normal, even though sometimes we like to be wired differently. But I’ve seen her journey, I’ve seen her trying her damn best to be better. I like to think I am too.
So I just want to say: Thank You!
Thank you for making Gen a strong amazing woman on her own right while showing her demons.
Thank you for showing the world this perspective. It might not seem much for some people, you know “just a fanfic on tumblr”, but to me, being able to see myself in your Genevieve it’s really comforting.
I'm gonna keep being around, giving you the ❤ your work deserves and maybe trying to interact with you in a less intense way 😭 haha
Sweet anon, I first want to say that I'm sorry I didn't answer this right away. My school schedule right now is chaos and I don't have a lot of time during the week to answer asks properly.
And this beautiful message deserved a proper answer.
Firstly, my sweet bean, I want to thank you for your words. I cried when I first read your message. It's quite possibly the greatest compliment you could ever give me.
To know my mc, and my writing made you feel normal and comforted means so much to me.
Gen, in a lot of ways, is me and because of that I wanted to show that she's not perfect and has real problems. Her anxiety is a big part of her, as it is with me, and I wanted to have that represented. I wanted others who suffer like us know we're not alone and that even smart doctors with super hot husbands can have it too lol
Second, I'm so sorry you went throw a similar past, like Gen. I want to give you a giant hug. No matter what, remember that you're strong and brave and worth so much more the Ryan's of the world have said.
I may not know you for real, but to even admit you've gone throw that is so brave, and I hope you know that.
I hope you continue to find comfort in my little fics and my MC. I also hope you know you can always pop in my inbox or dms whenever you want.
Thank you again for this message and for your support. I'm sending you the biggest hug ever.

Oh my gosh so finally I have a spare moment to reply your answers to my tons and tons of questions so firstly I am so so SORRY it’s taken me so long especially since you replied to all my questions 😭😭
As you’ve mentioned that the mc would struggle with transforming into a demon, I’m really interested to know who you think would help the mc with her transition as a demon the most? So because she and Jisung now have a good relationship, would he be more inclined to help her or because she and Felix have such a good relationship would he be the one that supports her the most? Or would it be that each member of the clan would help with different aspects?
I love the idea that the mc will get on well with the younger clan members 😍😍
I also love the idea that the mc would act as a sort of storyteller due to her more recent life in the interior, definitely highlights that she would have a good relationship with the younger clan members! And I can definitely imagine the mc telling stories to the younger ones one evening and Chan just watching with heart eyes ����
I’m very interested to know what the gods would do in regards to the Lykos clan trespassing through their lands… and what the other demon clans would do knowing that an augur has turned into a demon as well… I wonder if they’d still be able to tell that she was an augur? And whether or not the mc would still be in some form of danger… just additional thoughts I’m having 😂
I just want to say once again a huge huge thank you for always being so lovely and replying to any messages or questions I sent your way, I miss sending you my thoughts every week and losing my mind over the world you created.. maybe I need to reread it again soon👀👀 anyway I hope you’re doing okay and looking after yourself! I am going to have a look through your other writing projects and throw myself knee deep into another world you’ve created so any recommendations I will take 👀💖
okay hi IM the one that took forever to reply to this i am so sorry bestie 😭😭 it has truly been a wild several weeks since you sent this in but im glad to finally have a moment to sit and reply, i was very excited to see you in my inbox again!! ☺️ this ended up being kinda long once again so i’m putting my replies under the cut hehehe
i really like your thoughts on jisung being able to help the mc with their demon transition—it’s definitely true that they have a VERY different relationship at the end than they did at the beginning. the mc ends up meaning a lot to jisung (even tho he’d never admit it hahaha) so i like this idea a lot !! i think felix’s giving nature would also make him very inclined to help out the reader during their struggles with the transition period—in that way, i do think they’d actually all help out with any issues the mc might have! i can definitely see her going to different members for different things, but i don’t think any of them would mind at all—she’s one of them now, after all.
and omg you get it!! you see the storyteller vision…mc coming up with ~slightly embellished~ stories of interior life while chan looks on fondly in the background…oh lord i LOVE the way your mind works !!!! 😩😩
as far as the other demon clans go, i don’t think they’d be able to tell the mc had been an augur—hecate had been able to, but she has a much different connection to magic in the citadel than the demons do. i can, however, definitely picture some of the gods going after lykos, especially aeolus since they did kinda trespass through his village 😭 and i can see him spreading the word towards the other gods who might be more than happy to have something to do (antagonize a demon clan) for the first time in two hundred years…so to answer your question, i do think it’s entirely possible that our mc could still be in plenty of danger 💀
i so love your thoughts oh my goodness, thank YOU so much for being so lovely and sending in these questions about this series!! i also miss seeing you in my inbox every week LOL, there were a few chapters towards the end where i’d get excited thinking about what your reaction might be to a couple particular scenes (the act ii: part iv cliffhanger being one of them…) hehehe. but frw&d is certainly always there for any time you feel like rereading! there are actually a few spoilers/foreshadowing lines of the mc becoming a demon in the first few chapters that i wonder if anyone has caught yet ;))
and thank you so much oh my goodness, i hope you’re doing well and looking after yourself too!! my online classes have been kicking my ass this week in particular ngl LOL but i’m just gonna have to do better next week and make up for it 😌 this is my last semester so im just trying to beat that senioritis y’know fndndjdj
i will say if you’re looking for recommendations from my stuff i’ve got a few things coming soon from my wip list! the next chapter of my bodyguard!minho series, by my side, should be out next week (🤞🤞🤞) and i’ll be posting a teaser for what lies beneath (siren!hongjoong oneshot) sometime in the next few days as well! i haven’t been doing a ton of reading recently, but i’m trying to make up for that this week and next too! so if you were looking for a rec list from other authors i can do that as well :))
ANWAYS this is like an essay now lmao but thank you SO much again for your sweet words, i am so grateful that you enjoyed this series and wanted to let me know your thoughts on it past the ending—that’s one of the biggest compliments you can give a writer imo, i’m so happy frw&d has lived in your brain LOL and i so love your analyses and thoughts on it. thank you sm for this lovely ask ily 🤍🤍🤍

Hello!! Can I have a drabble featuring a MC withering away due to a disease. It eats at her and she has little to no energy nearing the end. And she does in the arms of her beloved. May I have it with Mitsuhide/Nobunaga please?
Tumblr media
😭 Yes. Please… enjoy? 😭♥️
I don’t think of myself as big on angst but this was actually a pleasure to write, as sad as it is. So thank you for the request and the quick follow up! 🙇🏻‍♀️ The cut below is 95% for length and sadness but there is a little bit of a tenderly spicy memory under it, fyi. Tense floats around here on purpose because the poor man is HURTING.
(Requests are closed, readers, but there are a lot still to be written and posted in July! Feel free to follow along to see them all, or just read whichever ones you’d like. A masterlist will be posted when they are complete.)
Tumblr media
He has long loved her trembles. Her body has been expressive since their first meeting, always finding some silly reason to shudder. Fury. Food. Fun. Him.
He dared to admit only to himself that he was disappointed when she grew a little more resistant to him over time. Never very resistant. His mouse is a sensitive soul in a sensitive shell. And they both enjoy it when he teases her. There have been so many ways to tease her.
Nothing can convince Mitsuhide that she is not heaven-made. It was while he touched her that true feeling first came back to some of his fingertips. The ability to discern real sensation instead of only pressure. And of all things he could have touched, it was the miracle of the skin of her throat. He convinced her to let him spend an entire night loving it with his mouth and those newly reborn fingers, just so he could compare their sensitivity. The way she trembled then, all tight and vulnerable but open for him… he will never forget it.
Mitsuhide curses himself for ever being amused at those first fierce trembles in the early days of autumn. He could tell they were different, just not how. And the two of them had been so safe—as safe as he could make them— and so happy. Her laughter painted their every day. She even made him laugh. She did it the first time he tickled her and turned those odd trembles to full-body wriggles as she tried to escape. He never went fully off guard, but he told himself (as a fool tells himself) that they were safe.
They were not. She was sick, and she didn’t get better. And then there were no trembles, for awhile. Selfish demon that he is, he relished the ones that came back, even though he knew they meant doom.
Doesn’t everything mean doom? Mitsuhide has thought this a dozen times, sitting or laying beside her. Even underneath her, a few times, desperate to put her cheek to his chest. The question sounds like the logic of a man who has given up. It sounds like him before he met her.
Now he’s met her, and loved her. Woken up to her warmth. Felt the places she is softest when she sleeps. Known the flowers and patterns and scents she likes. Come to enjoy the flavorless but deep pleasure of sharing the desserts she loves most.
And now she is dying, because he dared to love her and he lived a very terrible life before she was part of his. Maybe because he’s done a few terrible things since he loved her. A part of his mind is trying to come down like a shield around his soul, but his heart shoulders giant stones into its path so it cannot land and close him off. He loves her. He’s not going to stop loving her when she’s gone. He’s not going to stop loving her until the day he stops living.
The wanness of her smile will haunt him more than anything he has ever done. More than the bruises he treated early in their time together. Is there a part of her he can capture and tie up so she cannot leave him?
There is not. A mouse is evasive, and one of her whisker-tricks is that she has always known when to fight and when to surrender. He’s been right there beside her to see all her fighting. He is right there beside her to see when her body begins to truly give up.
They are alone, so though he is more angry at all of this than sad, he lets her see a kitsune’s tears. Maybe she can barter them for comfort in her next life. He’s got her laying his lap since she can barely move, and she’s just staring at him intensely, eyes tired but alive. He knows she is trying to look at nothing but his face. If she were well she would be smiling, and her hands would be on his cheeks.
But she is not well. She can barely talk, and he knows she is exhausted. Whatever this is, it has eaten away at her, like a bigger and more vicious mouse. It has stolen her light away grain by grain.
She uses some of her precious energy to whisper words that come out of her like the last leaves of the year, drifting down. I love you. Hold me.
Mitsuhide slides her up in his lap so she can lean against him and he can hold her better. He tells her that he loves her, and to close her eyes and rest. As gently as he can, he eases the side of her face onto his shoulder and her hands onto his robe, to the places she might clutch if she were strong enough. He kisses her forehead, runs his nose along one of her fine eyebrows, and repeats that he loves her. He’s clearly losing control.
So he touches the tender skin on the side of her throat, and murmurs to her all his memories of the night when he touched that place and could suddenly feel her. He feels her relax against him, so like the way she used to snuggle. Trusting, comfortable. Peaceful. He keeps talking. More memories. At one point there is a little cough he’s sure is laughter. He doesn’t move his hand. He wishes she were well enough for him to hold her throat and tilt her head for a kiss that would make her sway. But she is not. He leaves his fingers where they are.
And because he has feeling in those fingers, he feels when her life flutters out and his world ends. He soaks her hair with a hushed flood of silver kitsune tears and wishes he could die rather than endure this. She never learned how to haggle. Who will protect her? How will he find her in the next life? How long will it take?
He realizes he’s trembling.
He hates it.

seriously fuck this app for not letting me reblog in peace 🤬 god knows how many times i tried i lost everything i typed 🧍anyways sending this here instead ^^
i may have alr forgotten a huge chunk of what i wanted to say but this i haven’t— i love loooove love their friend group so much. esp how loving and caring and protective renjun is over mc!! :( also, mc and jaemin’s dynamic? whew loved that sm. how they could just naturally transition to lovers (horny ones at that — but that’s more jaemin rlly that bastard) and their closeness as friends is still there yk what i mean ;-;; tho i found all the chaos so much fun hhhh. yeonjun just mentioning he’s interested in her but haven’t rlly acted much (or at all even lmao) on it since yet suddenly became the source of chaotic misunderstandings(?) NSHSHSHS
THE SEXY SCENES 🧍 despite how annoyingly horny jm can be love how he unknowingly(?) just put her needs first without expecting her to reciprocate it right away (hope i remembered this correctly i know he like,,, realized it a bit late after that, god i hate my mind) of course he cares about her more than he realized this idiot. there’s the awkwardness but damn oh damn the intimacy it’s all so fucking hot but u could feel there’s alr more to it than just lust :( love these stupid babies.
and oh my god when he was streaming!!!!! but the way i pictured it like the times he’s on their huya lives?? ykno when he just runs his mouth nonstop while playing GODDDDD very annoying yet endearing yes jaemin annoys me so much but i l word ok ok ok
they’re so stupid but understandable everyone is vvv likeable here btw :( will never stop thinking about how they just have such great chemistry. as much as yeonjun was slandered here haha let’s not forget how when it’s bad experiences it’s compared to hyucksNSHSHSHSHSHS i enjoyed reading this a lot it’s so much thank you :(( one of the great ways to start this year. (…..being whipped for njm ig)
love his character development here btw hands down. i cannot move on about his fucking twitch tshirt tho NDHDHDH m gonna throw that away myself if i could. ALSO oh my god i just remembered it’s so funny how someone always walked in on them HAHA the confession — as cringey and awkward(??) as it was, that’s just so them yk and to top it all off jaemin forgetting to end his stream 💀💀💀 ok again. this is so enjoyable to read thank you so much i hope you have a great day and a great year ahead u deserve the best ;;;;
tumblr’s bugs strike again 😞😞 i’m so sorry it crashed on your reblog love D; but ??? omg you rlly typed it out again for the ask THATS SO NICE OF YOU :(( and pls this is such a long ask i’m like sobbing over the fact that you took the time to write all of this and you have so many thoughts about my fic ☹️💗 i had to bring out my notes app to make sure i typed out everything i was feeling while referencing back to this ask !!!!! 😳 thank you sm for reading and sending this like !!! IM SO HAPPY 😭😭
i’m so glad you liked the friend group together !! i’ve always wanted to write a fic where the friend group was well fleshed out and had important roles (and this actually wasn’t the fic i was going to try it out on) but it served as a good stepping stone and your words make me feel more hyped to improve :’)) although they didn’t have many scenes together, i loved them too 🥰🥰 i get emotionally attached to my own characters sobsob and YES RENJUN !!!! he’s my ult too :’) actually i ult half of dream so i cant defend myself but !! he made their arrangement soooo romeo and juliet for a little 😭 and i love writing protective (but sorta chill??) best friends ♡ AAAA PLS IT WARMS MY HEART TO HEAR THAT YOU LIKED MC AND JAEMINS DYNAMIC that’s like everything for me 🤧💘 i rlly wanted to preserve their friendship even while they were treading the line between fwb to lovers, but there were those little moments like jaemin calling mc creepy for staring at him and mc telling him to shut up when he made a dirty joke :’))
HAHAHAH poor yeonjun 😭 the whole situation is a fictional representation of friends exaggerating a memory of a guy saying he’s interested in you, and then proceeding to hype it up without realizing they’ve looked to deeply into it 😵‍💫 but man yeonjun’s officially branded as The Infamous Litterer™️ in jaemin’s eyes
AHHH IM GLAD YOU LIKED THOSE MOMENTS :’)) <33 yesyesyes!! mc didn’t exactly realize she had feelings at first but i like to think ab it like “she fell first, he fell harder” bc jaemin completely lost his confidence when he realized he liked her a lot and didn’t want to push her too far. he didn’t go all the way with her bc he realized right before but yes he didn’t expect her to reciprocate what she wasn’t ready for :’) little did he know that mc is like the biggest virgin but extra horny 😭
PLEASE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT hes so cute when he games i’m sobbing but yes that mouth RUNS i lov when he talks fast HAHAH like in the mafia games he spits bars to his advantage to make everyone else give up trying to understand 😭😭 also i’m so glad you liked all the characters :’)) my goal was to make them all have their charms even with little screentime(??) LOLL and 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ hyuck having girl trouble And the awkward first-time story 😞 free him from the slander i bestowed upon him
GLAD I COULD START UR YEAR OFF WITH SELF INDULGENT NA JAEMIN CONTENT THO 😎😎 it’s what the nanadoongies deserve 🧘‍♀️ AND AHAHA YES they were always walked in 😭💔 first by renjun, then by jaemin’s twitch stream audience, and then by mark (but at least they were mostly safe for mc’s first-time !! until jeno walked in during the aftermath 💀)
but thank you sm for leaving me such a sweet and heartfelt message angel !! i’m so touched that you put in all this effort to type this out for me 😭😭💖 i hope you have a wonderful day/night and a great 2022 ahead !! ♡ sending my love and support your way :]
