idk if you still read retrosrings anymore but if you do, i started reading in the grey like a year ago? at least it feel like it and each waking day im itching and scratching for an update omg its an actual addiction. anyways i want you to know that your writing is sooooo super good im excited for your next update whenever that is😆😆
yes i do! since cc went down i now use this as my main askbox :) (unless it shall also close but we will figure it out then TT)
actually thank you so much for this and despite all that is going on irl, i'm also really attached to it and a few chapters ahead. i got to a good part 🫢 so i'm planning an update very soon...
Hi mhaestake! I'm one of your silent twitter followers. Sorry but I'm too shy to say hi, and my account is public and quite personal (my IRLs canNOT know I love Markhyuck and BL 😅) I miss your tweets and your thoughts in general! That is all. Hope you're doing well🫶🏽🫶🏽
awww don't be shy. this comment really made me feel better so thanks for sending it! and truuuust i feel you with the IRL and online fujoshi barrier (no one will ever knoooww)
i'm doing fine, and while the twitter break was actually kind of well needed, it wasn't voluntary XD
basically my account was flagged as spam, and i think it has something to do with my fic posts every two weeks or so that look very similar with a link to ao3. i'm trying to get it appealed, but i'm sure you've heard the twitter horror stories. i'm waiting it out since i know i didn't explicitly do anything wrong... however if you know of anyone and any way to get the account back it would be great XD or if there's an alternative platform or something idk. i have so many good shitposts to unleash that i've been keeping bottled up LOL
if i takes too long, i might create a secondary cause i do miss all of you and the interactions. also the constant mh updates were nice.
but anyways, this was a sweet message and thank you for wondering <3 i'm doing alrighty ^^ hope you are doing good as well.
your twt is suspended what happened 😞 do u have a backup acc tho
yeah i'm not sure! it said it was the violation for spam(?) not sure if it's happened to anyone else? thanks for noticing though 😅
i think it's either the ao3 links or maybe the hashtags i've been posting????? who knows. i heard it happened to a lot of ppl? no worries hopefully they'll get back to me soon ¯(ツ)/¯ if you have a clue on how to fix it i'll gladly hear. 😅
i also don't have a backup. but im okay with taking another lil twt break LOL
edit: i forgot i have a backup tumblr i rarely use and is more for aesthetics but....
https://mhaestake.tumblr.com/
maybe i'll start posting more there :)
I'm sorry if this is bothering you and I know it hasn't been long but are we getting an update for in the grey soon 🥺🥺🥺🥺
ive just finished the two arcs of ruination of deathly flowers and we really need to see that empress get stepped on like the cockroach she is?!?! and u have to explain those yellow and orange flowers?! And mk's hair and the flowers and the weather and the kingdom reflecting his wellbeing bcos thOSE ARE SO MAGICAL✨ SO GREAT 🤧🤧🤧AND THE ROYAL WEDDING!!! WE NEED TO SEE IT!!! And have both kingdoms flourish in yellow and orange flowers huhuhu this was so goood huhuhu these little fantastical details about the tiger empire and their emperor?! Ugh the world building was done so well; it aches how it was so beautifully written too?! the way minhyung worships his flower donghyuck ughhh 🤧🫶 will be patiently waiting for your next arc should there be one! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
ahhh omg, thank you for this question, because it's everything i wanted people to take away from this story! since you asked i will divulge—the orange and yellow flowers are actually "tiger lilies" that i used in the cover images for both arcs. in the first arc, they were blue (because i found out blue tiger lilies exist and are just so beautiful). upon meeting donghyuck, they take on their "true form" persay, which is the common orange tiger lily we are more familiar with! you should definitely google them, i think they're so beautiful and suit the atmosphere of growing vibrantly outside a palace ^^ tiger flowers for the Tiger Emperor ^^ of course, the flower that grows wherever donghyuck goes is the sunflower, which is why at the end chenle managed to follow a trail of "intertwined" sunflowers and tiger lilies to miraculously find the emperor and the prince ^^
and once more, thank you for this arc because it seems the general consensus is people aren't exactly ready for their story to end yet... which is honestly how i feel too in a way. even though this was supposed to be the comfy ending to indicate that they would now be together, i find i can't stop thinking about them either. there's definitely still a lot of their scenes that i can picture vividly in my mind and i definitely want to do more with this world. so who knows? i think i just might do it spontaneously one day... since i keep thinking about them anyway 🌸
i was crying inside cause i couldn't talk about the new itg chapter so!! hii i love your writing 🫶 and poor mark omg (he kinda deserved it though) 😭😭 can't wait for them to see each other again it'll be interesting!!
