I like to believe Neuvillette used to bear a grudge against humans. Creatures loved and spoiled by the usurpers who stole the land of his kin.

He doesn’t understand why he was born into a form that resembled theirs.

But as he walks among them, as he watches them grow old.

He begins to understand what made such fickle creatures so beloved.

There’s this thought that’s been turning in my mind

Did Wriothesley become “The Duke” inspite of his circumstances or because of it?

Was an unhappy childhood needed for him to forge his own path and opportunities to grasp onto a leisurely life with a noble title and Mora.

Or could he still have achieved this without having to suffer like that? Actually, if he had been raised with tender care, could he have become someone even greater than a “Duke”?

Charisma, humility, and empathy. He’s got all the necessary qualities of a born leader.

If he had the chance to live a normal life, would he have been someone greater.

Or would he have just wanted to stay normal. Content with a life without a noble title and honour.

Have you ever been academically victimized by a exam so hard you spend the next few hours just touching grass?

I knew you would like Dr. Ratio.

Now that you outed yourself, answer this riddle >:)

Who would you save? Alhaithm or Dr. Ratio

Haha

It is no riddle, it is no conundrum, it is no dilemma.

 Neither.

Because if they’re so smart, if they’re so astute, and if they’re so wise, then they wouldn’t even put themselves into a fatal situation.

And if they do, then they better get thinking.

Wriothesley…

Oh what to do about Wriothesley.

If I were to line up my past history of fictional crushes, he stands out a bit as breaking the mold.

Does having gray striped hair make that character count as a gray/ashen haired character?

But I had the opportunity to carve a pumpkin so I decided to dedicate one to a good boy.

is the character in your pfp from a series or is that an oc? if it's the former, could you please let me know where they're from 😅 if it's the latter, do you have more art of your oc? they look so cute!

This made me giggle with delight 🥹🥹

Her name is Mareya and she’s my oc. I haven’t been drawing much lately bc of responsibilities but here is some old art of her that I’ve made and art I’ve commissioned consolidated below!

OH MY GOSHHH I JUST FINISHED YOUR VAMP HAITHAM FIC AND ASKKSDOAKDJ i’m soooo devastated by the fact that they never said ‘i love you’ to each other :(( i just need to know: DID THEY KNOW???!!!! they had to know the other loved them right 😭😭

The moonlight seeps in through the glass, peeking into the scene just beyond it as a choir of Summer crickets sing a dirge.

Accompanying the scene reminiscent of the first night of a vow. With a mortal and immortal laying upon the same bed, hand in hand.

Cold fingers intertwined with ailing ones. Steady inhales in time with soft wheezes. Stoic eyes surveying the soft curve of a shameless smile.

One proud fool, who’s lips were pressed into a thin line, in attempt to quell the tremble which threatens to plague them.

One shameless fool, who’s lips remained pressed into a lasting smile, simply because their body refuses to expend any more energy into changing it.

Two fools who’s intertwined hands brought cold and warmth together, mingling and uniting until a lukewarm equilibrium was found. Exchanging a message their lips couldn’t.

But that was enough, this lukewarm memorandum, it was enough for this pair of fools to learn the unspoken truth.

Perhaps it took a bit too long, but at least it didn’t come a bit too late.

Two bodies lay upon silk sheets and down comforters as the creeping rays of a morning star break through a sea of navy.

But only one remained.

Hiii Viva~

Hope, you'll take your time to read this. It's not a request of course. I was simply curious about something. To be honest, I've read all your fics and my goodness, they are mind blowing and always make overwhelm with emotions. Specially how you portray Al-Haitham. Every fic of his feels like a fic and a character study all at once.

You know, in your recent fic, I just noticed that you said Alhaitham is a man logic and rationality, which is true. But isn't he from the Haravatat Darshan or a department that has something to do with studying and deciphering various scripts? Like isn't he a linguist? I thought he was a man associated with the humanities stream or something like that if we put it into modern terms. So, the question here is—why portray him as a man of science? Sure, he's a genius and an intellectual person but can a person really be that apt at two different disciplines? For example, I'm a political Science Honours student and honestly....I hate subjects that has anything to do with maths or science in general. 🥲 Does that make sense?

I'm not saying, you can't portray him like that or anything but rather the intent of doing so. And honestly, I think, you yourself are a highly intelligent individual. The way you put tid bits of practical information into the plot of fics says a lot about you, the author as well. I admire that quality and probably would like to know how you do it so effortlessly?

I really hope that I did not come off as criticizing or a dumb person in general. I was just curious and wanted to know. Hope, you'll read this.

Btw, Happy Basant Panchami from India, Viva. Today, we worship the goddess of knowledge, wisdom and arts here. Fun fact, it's actually kinda officially forbidden to study today, you know.

Hope, I didn't rant much....sorry, in advance. 🥲🌹

Hello! this is an interesting ask 🤔

From my understanding, Haravatat focuses on semiotics, which also includes linguistics. Linguistics is a field of science, the scientific study of languages. Because empirical research is involved along with empirical evidence.

Perhaps you were thinking about literature, which is of the humanities and academia. Although of course, there are possible overlaps between linguistics and literature.

Al Haitham liked to read abstruse academic journals from a young age, so I'd like to think tidbits of information from those journals would naturally bury themselves in his thoughts.

His thoughts and ponderings resemble those who have been part of the sciences. Disagree, question, challenge.

Thus, why he's a nerd (affectionate).

But of course, this is all from my perspective, which is different from yours, which is different from the next person.

It's what makes character writing interesting because everyone will view everyone differently.

Thank you for your ask and Happy (belated?) Basant Panchami!

Your ask brought up an interesting thought, why can't people be apt at both humanities and science?

All throughout history humanities and science have helped the other progress. They are not opposites nor should they be. They progress thought, which in turn helps us better understand knowledge and the world around us.

Disagree, question, and challenge the paradigm is how the humanities and science have gotten where they are today, and how they will get to tomorrow.

I'm not an intelligent person, I'm just a curious person. I like reading a wide variety of things from fiction to academic essays, even mathematical theories in textbooks and notes from friends in premed. Because I'm curious about them.

Then I like applying them to what I create because I love creating. Little factoids here and there because I think it's interesting, learning about how things work so I can better draw the things I like.

No one has to be a genius or a prodigy to be apt at both, just be open-minded and willing to look at both. There is also nothing wrong about only liking one or the other.

Let's just not pit them against each other because then it'll just be destructive.

Maybe many have forgotten the symbiotic relationship between humanities and sciences.

Apologies for the inactivity, I’ve been in a period of poor health.

Fortunately, I feel better now with some energy back.

If it’s cold remember to bundle up, stay warm, and drink lots of water.

[vivalabunbun]

just finished reading your android alhaitham fic and felt very compelled to wail and cry and let you know how much i appreciate your work, then i found out that youre also the author of lets look over the garden wall??? i guess ill have to let you know how much i appreciate your works instead.

your writings are so beautiful, your angst fics have my heart dangling outside my body to use as a punching bag and whenever an emotional scene happens they deliver a particularly strong blow. they all have their own themes, the same phrases/topics/actions keep popping up again and each time i read them i feel like they rip another one of my organs out and punch it (in a very enjoyable way, of course). your artworks are also so pleasing to look at, its selfish to hog so much talent to yourself, you know.

i didnt mean for the ask to be this long but thanks for reading all this!!! i hope this message makes you happy :) dont stop creating (for yourself!). no one is entitled to your works or your effort and time put into creation, but i would appreciate it very much if you would keep sharing your works *wink wink*

Ahh thank you so much for your kind words 🥹🥹

It does make feel warm in my heart when people appreciate the subtle details in the sentences.

The series Let’s Look Over the Garden Wall and the tale of Into the Sky of Artificial Stars are in a strange way… parallels of each other.

I wonder if it’s because they sat next to each other in my drafts before.

The two opposing ends of a theory of love.

One believes to love is to know how to let go.

The other believes that to love is to never let go.

Which one is right? Is one wrong? Or are they both right in some strange murky gray space?

To be selfishly selfless or to be selfishly selfish.
