Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
hi mantis!! im both sad and glad to see you go if it means you get more inner peace without x! I loved seeing you on the tl, but im glad youre taking steps to care for yourself ♥️ woth regards to your x-only fics, I mean... The worth of them for me and many other readers is the fact they were made at all? I understand you dont share the same philosophy or belief in their inherent value, but your writing really is beautiful and relieving for so many of us, long or short. Im sorry, you probably get a lot of these questions. But the fact that you do get them a lot is in itself the proof of your writing's chokehold on us emotionally, unconditionally no matter its form. Drabbles exist, shortfics exist, all of which are so delicious when written well just like you do! Its the fact that you can accomplish making us feel so deeply in so little words,yknow?
Like im glad to have read them and sad to see them go, especially if its the last time ill see them haha ... I hope this doesnt come across guilt trippy 🙏 i really just love to see them and i go back to your drabbles for comfort a lot! I dont have much time to save them, so maybe thats why im a bit desperate 😅
ahh that is very sweet ;; honestly i did kind of blank on stuff i'd only posted on twitter just bc they tended to be short/not as impactful to write...? but that doesn't mean people didn't like reading them i guess hhh. maybe i can open it up and people can request specific drabbles to save, since i'm not sure which those would be as of rn? tysm for your message it is very kind <3
