hi, i originally debated coming on your retrospring, but i just read itlagt and wbb in THREE DAYS and sometimes it was very overwhelming and sad but i pushed through and omg i cannot believe they’re getting married :(( your world building is honestly amazing and that characterisation???? as a poly person myself i’m in love with this story idk. can i ask where you got so much inspiration? amsbwjsb and like, the attention to detail and staying true to the identities u gave them :( idk i’m just very sentimental to have read something so immensely well written on polyamory, queer platonicism, and being aroace. thank you aria
(sorry for rambling i hope this is well worded)
please don’t apologize 😭 this message is SO sweet and really made my day and!! THREE DAYS 😭 that’s sooooo much (like 200k words to be exact) and it makes me really happy/proud that you liked the story enough to push through so quickly 🥹 even though i haven’t had the time i wish to work on wwb lately, it is so so so important to me for so many reasons and to have anyone love it or relate to it means the world to me 🥹
as for specific inspiration—wwb marknomin each hold very specific parts of me and my experiences and feelings, and writing their story the way i have has been a way for me to vent and explore and dig into my own brain. when i started it, i wanted to use it mostly as an opportunity to write real characters with real flaws and real conflict, because i feel like before, i’ve always taken the easy way out of those things in my fics, and then it just. became so personal 😭 idk i could go on about this for a while, but that’s the vague-ish answer at least 🥹
thank you so much for reading 🩵🩵
hi aria !! i hope you're doing okay<3 i just wanted to ask if you had any marknomin recs? 👉👈 thank you for feeding us sm!!!!!!!
hi!!! i’m okay~ just busy and exhausted 😭 i don’t have as many recs as i should 😖 i’m criminally behind on reading fic and my fic rec threads are even further behind than that, but there are a few iconic/og marknomin fics in this thread 🥹 https://twitter.com/marknominism/status/1636956822924845056?s=46&t=EM0dZaBjIi-wmQF3Kru8yQ
aria!!! minnie and jaemin tiktok challenge how are we feeling ??
jenooooooo i’m seriously so proud of him and i love that nomin had this time to themselves to properly check in with how they’re doing. the baggage and insecurities that persist ahhhh so good! you’re such a strong character writer
omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i can’t believe this is happening jn is so happy and sure of themselves now, voicing what they wants
and what they don’t, being so cute and sweet and healing old wounds i’m just so happy they are doing so much better, the 3 of them they’re so cute i love them so much. thank u for the update i loved it so much i’m so happy with the way the story is developing
hellooo pretty human !!
i'm the one who rambled about wwb ! i hope you become better than you wish and desire<3 I'm actually surviving if it counts 🥲
take your full time to write ! your well being is more important than anything <<3
jn should just walk them both down the aisle
was behind a few updates and caught up and can i just say. i am always so amazed by how much story you’ve written in a social media au. like the format let’s you do some things but i feel like it can be so limiting and yet you’ve fleshed out sooooo much story and character from such a fun simple setup. i also just love that even with a wedding on the horizon, things aren’t perfect because people aren’t malleable and even we get frustrated with ourselves about how we feel and that jeno supporters gc was kinda Everything. gah i just love this world you’ve created. thank you thank youuu hope you have the loveliest week 🩵
Ariaaa
How are you? Hope you good!
I just miss wwb and decided to hop here to ramble a bit 😪 anything soon? Around the corner?? Out of the bridge? Anywhere??? Not even a crumble?
Whatever is your answer I’ll still love you 😔
hi 🥹 i’ve been better but :’) it’s okay. i hope you’re doing well! as for wwb, my goal is to get the next update out over the next few days. i miss it so much too 🥹 it’s just that every time i sit down to write, something else in my life goes wrong it feels like 😅 and then i can’t sit and write. but hopefully soon 🩵
hi aria :D i have a question for you, do you mind if non-mutuals join your ohwrite? i've seen you post the link quite a few times, and i'd love to join one day and see how it works, but i wonder if it would make you uncomfortable if non-mutuals join or something like that!
okay hi, so i found is this like a gay thing abt 2 days ago n i finished it (so so beautiful btw, why was that so good 😭) n now i’m reading wwb (i’m on year 4 i think! this may be even more beautiful…) n man….. idek what 2 say rn. i could kiss u right on ur forehead. idk how long u plan on updating it, if this is like a thing ure doing until it just feels done, but i wanna :,)) thank u :,)) i <3 ure character building. the complexity of the characters as they navigate life+relationships, the anguish, the resolve, the never ending motion of it all. idk. i kinda feel like i needed this 4 more reasons than 1, n i just really wanna thank u 4 taking the time 2 write n express such well thought out human emotions. i hope ure doing well <3
ahh thank you so so much for replying to the long ask from a couple weeks ago😭🫶🫶 such a relief to hear jen is still on the same page about marriage, one less thing to worry about😅 i’m looking forward to all the updates!!! my fav polypocket🥹🥹 so looking forward to all of them being official, the build up is driving me crazy (it’s so good, i looooove pining, though i’m not sure whatever markno got going on can even be called pining anymore😭😭 love it but so excited for them be become partners fr) thank you ariaaaaa, you’re the best🩵
