the small sunakage interaction in the fic makes me laugh a bit bc of the sunakage lore (is it really a lore when it hasn't even started yet) bc of vi's fanart with suna and tobio's hands subtle hands

there's no doubt that atskg are down bad for tooru in the f1 au but i just know atsuoi are hella possessive and protective of tobio. they would commit a crime for him bc that's Their baby and i think the scene where atsumu glares down at anyone who glances at tobio further proves my point,,, just imagine the power tobio would have over them once he puts on his puppy eyes, pout, and head tilt, oh, they're about to be goners !!!
oh FOR SUREEEE they're constantly in the media pen slagging off tobio's team for making bad strategy calls and ruining his race, it's a NIGHTMARE for their media teams!!! they're making aggressive moves on drivers who made contact with tobio the week before or who crashes and ruined tobio's qualifying they are CRAZYYYY

hi ally! apropos of nothing, but you seem like you’re doing well and have built a life for yourself that satisfies you. and you’ve written about how life wasn’t always like that. do you have advice for holding on or believing in a good future when joy looks unattainable?
oh anon first of all if that is the position you are in, I'm really sorry and I am sending you all the strength and love I can. for me it has been many years of struggling with my own brain, plenty of ups and downs along the way, but I do think that I have found a way to be happy in my daily life (even if I'm always reassessing and trying to make sure I'm still on the path that I want to be on). honestly I don't have much advice except KEEP GOING because even like five years ago I don't think I could have imagined how much happiness and peace I would have today.
for what it's worth, I think it can be very demoralising (for me at least) to picture a super idealised version of a life that you think will make you happy - these are often very manicured / aesthetic things that you are being "sold" by capitalism, big companies, social media, even other people like me who put the prettiest version of their lives online. but all of that is such a mirage that it can feel very unattainable and hopeless. instead focus on yourself and your actual day to day experiences - what are they things that bring you joy, and what are the things that don't, and what of that can you work on to change so that over time your life is filled with more joy and less tedium, stress, and anxiety? it's hard to hold on to a distant dream but if you can see the tiny things in your life that can make you happier, and keep track of your progress with the little things, that can feel more motivating.
there's a big overlap with mental illness as well, and idk if that is something you struggle with but it's definitely been a part of my own experience. and everyone's journey will be different, but I think recovery is hard work, but also needs to be supplemented by slowly trying to build a life that works for you. younger me was so caught up trying to chase this "dream life" that I was slowly killing myself for it, and while I worked on my actual mental illnesses with professionals, I also worked on taking myself out of environments that didn't serve me, filling my time with things that made me happy (and finding out what those things are!), and surrounding myself with people who uplift me. it was a slow process and definitely not linear but it was def that twofold approach of working on my internal stuff and also the external circumstances of my life.
I said I didn't have advice but I guess I did after all! KEEP GOING is definitely the strongest message, though. hold on to the small joys you do have, try to let go of the idealised version of your "dream life", and just work on the little things to keep shifting the balance of joy/not-joy in your life in the right direction. and then hopefully, one day you'll wake up, and be surprised by the fact that your life looks nothing like how you imagined it and yet you are filled with an ease and happiness that you never even thought possible. I love you and wish you the best <3

this is gonna be suuuper mega random but butween the olympics and 2 recent kdramas with swimming scenes, i've been thinking/reminiscing about your old jjp fic "sink or swim" and more specifically about jy's struggles with anxiety and self-acceptance, which i kinda relate(d?) to. so thank you for sharing that, and for that final line about it being ok to just float and be. big fan of your writing and storytelling!! <3
omg ahh that is so sweet, thank you so much for reading and still thinking about that fic all these years later, I really appreciate it. that was a fic that I put a lot of myself and my experiences (emotional rather than swimming-related...) into, so it really means a lot that you've connected to it so much. I know I've deleted the fic due to issues I had with the fandom, but I reskinned it into a tgcf fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35748043/chapters/89140294) if you ever want to revisit it, feel free to c&p and replace the names if you wish (just for your own purposes of course, not to share widely)! thank you for the message anw this is super sweet <3

pardon me i have no one to share this to but i need to let it out.. i think "a little death" by the nbhd suits gyuhan so well
ooh thank you for sharing!! sorry for taking so long to reply, I wanted to get home from holiday and give this a proper listen. I get the gyuhan vibes it's really good!!! the bridge is especially so evocative: "She sought death on a queen-sized bed / And he had said, Darling, your looks can kill, so now you're dead." DELICIOUS!!!!!

Anon you stops by every once in a while to let you know how much she loves both Faking It and Runaway - I loved your answers to the fic writer meme - specifically #13 and 14. As a Yoonjin bias I would love to read that WIP and would read anything related to the Faking It universe. Thank you as always for sharing your talents with us!
ahhh thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like my writing it really means the world to be able to share it with other ppl and have them connect with it :) ooh I am also yoonjin biased teehee... I don't think I will ever finish the fic (too much work to get it to where I want it to be) but maybe I will tidy it up and post to my wip amnesty collection someday <3

hi ally i just wanted to ask if you have any upcoming gyuhan fics? i miss them so much i keep rereading your old stuff
aww! tbh realistically the hq brainrot is kinda consuming me right now, and I only have so much free time to write, so I'm not actively working on any gyuhan. I have a couple of random snippets / wips that I might tidy up some day and post, but nothing big! and I will probably do 17hols at the end of the year (if the mods run it this year) so depends on whether there are any gyuhan prompts :) but thank you for rereading my old stuff! and I am still following the gyuhan happenings (lol) with keen interest so please come talk to me abt them anytime <3

hi! i love your writing, i wanted to ask, is atsuhina really reaaally strong in your DEUCE fic? i love your work & kageships, but i preferably avoid atsuhina; but i’m so compelled by your writing. let me know what you think? i just can’t stomach jealous kageyama 😭
aww thank you, and thank you for even considering giving a fic with your notp a try! idk if you've seen the film challengers, but it basically follows that dynamic - both kageyama and atsumu are (arguably) in love with hinata, and both very jealous of each other's relationships with him, which results in their mutual competition/rivalry (and more...). I would say all three pairings have roughly equal focus, so it's not like atsuhina is end game or gets more "screentime", but mutual jealousy is a core part of the dynamic so if you don't like jealous kageyama then this is probably not the fic for you!

I usually get most of my writing done at the library, because when I’m home there’s too many distractions. What’s your best writing place?
ooh the library is such a nice place to write! tbh the best place for me is at home, even though I 100% get what you mean about distractions... but I also get too antsy sitting in one place for a long time, so actually being able to move around a little and take tiny breaks to like make a cup of tea or go put away some laundry, while I'm still thinking about whatever I'm writing, really helps me focus! I've tried to write in cafes but I spend so much time feeling uncomfortable and wishing I could walk around and wanting to snack but not wanting to spend money buying something etc etc haha. I am a fidgety little bug
