hiii!! first of all thank you for your incredible writing!! every single day i’m checking if you updated or not because both under a blanket of blue and hot like that have been keeping me going through the summer 🙇♀️ also binged all about love within a day and it was just so 🥹 i wanted to ask, what inspired you to write these specific aus?? for under a blanket of blue especially the 80s time set? hope you had a good week🫶
ahhh thank u!!! such a wonderful compliment, i'm so happy my writing has been such a big part of your summer <3
as for what inspired me to write these fics...
for all about love, i read bell hooks' book by the same name during a (long, long, LONG) time in my life when i felt unable to give/receive love. i guess i wanted to write about those feelings through the lens of my favorite character. that, and as a soon-to-be-therapist, i wanted to challenge myself, work through certain thoughts i've always had, and put my favorite character through therapy as a practice/exercise, but also myself at the same time(?) it sounds kinda insane writing that out, but that was the real inspo for all about love.
as for under a blanket of blue and hot like that, i ADORE writing stories featuring love between people who, for all intents and purposes, wouldn't usually work together IRL for various reasons. most of my writing before JJK fanfic was horror and i always wrote it through a very queer lens. usually between two people who don't really fit, but they also do fit because they've seen each other at their worst and they'd still do anything for each other in spite of that.
i guess i always wrote those things because it served as a reminder to myself that no matter how fucked up i might be/how bad of a past i've had/etc. there will always be someone that could love me regardless. obviously what i write for the JJK fandom and my past horror writings are different in a lot of ways, but that core message remains the same.
it isn't just for me, either. i hope that other people get that out of my stories, too. even if it doesn't feel like it, we're all lovable and we deserve love.
as for why i chose the 80s setting in under a blanket of blue, tbh it fit best with the story. i didn't want to do something too modern because i wanted megumi to feel trapped. that isn't to say that someone in his situation wouldn't be equally trapped nowadays, but there could have been more options for him if he had things like a cellphone/the internet. that, and i enjoy the 80s :-) such a fun decade to research and write about (i'm a stranger things girlie through and through)
anyway, that's a long ass explanation and probably way more words than you've asked for, but it's also all complex for me and i've (obviously) spent quite some time thinking about it.
Your itafushi fic has somehow made me feel a lot better about myself even if I’m older than yuji and megumi it’s weird but thank you so much for making the fic
can I just sit here and scream how much I love your writing? IT'S PURE GOLD. no but fr the way you describe things and feelings leaves me so speechless! thank u sm for your fics 💓 you deserve all the praise
hey, thank you ❤️ i needed that! i’m a perfectionist and it’s very easy for me to be hypercritical of literally everything i do because of that. it also makes it very easy for me to hate every single thing i produce 😅 so, i appreciate all the compliments and comments i get on my work. it makes writing and posting significantly easier for me and my dumb little brain ❤️
Are you in the Naruto fandom or Narusasu? What other fandoms are you in?
yuuji is so pure 😭😭🥹 megumi really locked tf in when he saw his wife crying
What do you think is the gayest thing about Megumi.
missing you and your fics 💔
have you ever had a emo boyfriend? and if not, you wish to have one?
Girlllll, when are we going to have a under a blanket of blue update? i miss your fic so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and i really want to smack yuji for leaving megumi alone while pregnant u_u
this isnt related to any of ur fics BUT ive been thinking abt itafushi x titanic…. kinda like jack and rose but dont die !! ^_^
Yuuji should 100% grow a beard and Megumi should 100% sit on his face.
it's so funny to me cuz i was fr expecting something like yuuji & megumi fucking in megumi's room while toji is snoring in the next but then u said nuh uh and delivered ✨️sadness✨️
my fault for being horny ig! (loved the chapter btw! :p)
yeahhhh, i think a lot of people felt that way lmao. i have this evil worm in my brain that whispers to me at night and tells me to write angst before the Good Stuff. i can't resist it :(
but also love that idea of yuuji and megumi fucking in megumi's room while toji is asleep like omg.................
i have 2/3 of the smut already written for ch.3, but i might end up adding some time stamps and stuff for this 'verse once i'm done with the main story and i might end up utilizing that
does yuuji know that megumi is trans and gay (at least definetly not straight) in hot like that? he asked him “You got a boyfriend I don’t know about, Megumi?” after megumi said a thing about kids. did he come out to him somewhere? toji outed him? or yuuji knows bc he follows megumi on instagram?
Omg Yuuji would go crazy for older milfgumi
