sorry for cloggin up your ask box, but i don’t have an ao3 account, so i hope this will do
i love the way you write the kids, especially nikki. she’s so mature, funny and polite, makes my mouth hurt from smiling hearing her and scout talk
another thing, thank you for having the kids act normal around scout and sniper being romantic‼️ they’re not homophobic, just the usual little kid “eww kissingg”
the descriptions of panic attacks are incredibly realistic
also as someone with adhd, you wrote scout SO well. i have the inattentive type and i relate so hard, despite not being hyperactive. forgetting things that i just put in my pocket, wondering if i have my phone while literally being on it, losing your train of thought, drawing constantly, and rejection sensitive dysphoria
i hope it’s okay i’m writing you fan mail in your ask box, i don’t really read fanfic but you’ve got me hooked here. i don’t even know how i started liking sniperscout, but before i read yours i read… ah what’s the name… i forget (searched ao3, it was called “somethin’ stupid, like “i love you”” by preciousposey. man that was a good fic too)
anyway uh
thank you for being a great author!! hope you sleep well and have zero writer’s block forever <3 (and i hope your living situation gets better, i’ve made it up to ch 18 so (why am i getting deja vu writing this im sorry if i did this last time))
thank you! yeah i love nikki. i used to work with kids a lot (a LOT) and they’re just hilarious dude. sometimes these kids will say some shit that’s so excellent and so fun and so entertaining and will know what’s up and she’s kind of a representation of that. kids are great.
and yeah i guess i just don’t personally see like. the value in putting overt homophobia into the tf2 universe. there’s not really the overt expectation of ‘realism’ with the tf2 canon, and while i consider grounding these characters and putting them in more normal circumstances to expand on their more human characteristics to be kind of A Thing I Often Do, i don’t think i need the blunt instrument that is Gritty Realism Through Onscreen Bigotry to make any of the points i want to make in this series. the flavor is kept intentionally lighter throughout that series so that when it gets heavy, it hits a little harder. in other things ive written, and in things i might write in the future, that might pivot, but i don’t ever see bigotry being something necessary to the plot or development of characters in the RB universe.
writing scout as adhd feels kind of inevitable at a certain point if you’re diving into his characteristics and the way he tends to behave. we don’t have a ton to work with but, c’mon. intentionally or unintentionally, he always ends up adhd. the relatable king
and no lie i’ve been listening to ‘still alive’ a LOT lately idk what happened. i listened to that song back in like 2015 a lot then didn’t again until like. three weeks ago. portal was too good for any of us
also just goddamn the fuckin horror movie violins when someone is pre-chapter 20 of taking shots. me when i’m 2/3rds of the way through “sniper dies in this”

Can I just say I am your #1 fan of running blind and all the little Drabbles in between it and the little things! It has inspired me on countless occasions to finally get some writing done, and every one of the little headcannons and world building is just so amazing!! It literally makes me want to write something for it 😆. Thank you so much for this work of art!!! It’s literally my comfort read.
the wildest thing that someone can say to me about something i’ve written is that it made them also want to make some stuff and for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart. also i’ve said it before i’ll say it again, i would love to see any kind of expansion anyone would care to make on stuff i’ve thrown out there—hell, that’s a big premise of Father-Son Bonding AU. literally write running blind with scout and sniper swapped if you want that sounds dope as hell

Ever had what might be termed a mis-aimed meet-cute? As in, an encounter with someone which very much resembles a meet-cute, except that neither person is remotely interested in one another?
all the time, but the most memorable is probably my relationship with my girlfriend of six years now. it started as a Bit to get on her brother’s nerves. we’re moving in together again in a few weeks
