omg hi, not odd at all !!! THIS IS SO HJ ☹️ his life ended when he became the kraken, vengeance the only thing on his mind until he's shown that, wait- there's still so much to live for. that he's deserving of love, of safety, of peace. that vengeance was never the answer to getting his life back no matter how badly he had craved it. no matter how much it had seemed like the only thing worth sticking around for. he's been alive and capable of feeling everything that comes along with it this whole time, he just needed someone to show him that little glimmer of hope and warmth that still lived on deep in his heart, and to draw it out for him. to coax it into a flame and bring him back to life 🥺 thank you so much for sharing, it makes me happy to know you thought of my fic ❤️ i'm so glad you enjoy my work i appreciate you so much !!! :) have a great day, anon <33

hi anon !! sorry for the late reply, i almost never get questions here so i don't check it very often 😭 I'm working on the next part, just very slowly! It's taking longer than I had thought because i got consumed with so many new ideas, I have like ten wips going on right now, and a lot more ideas stacked up in the back of my mind afjsfkdsjhf (why did i do this to myself) But trust i'm working on it! I'm thinking about it a lot more lately, so i'm hoping (knock on wood) that I'll be working on it pretty consistently from now on! I'm also just a tad nervous and worried about if people will be happy with it so i'll likely be tweaking it until its absolutely perfect ajkfsjkfh pray for me and my perfectionist brain

i think hwx would show his love through acts of service, like cooking something for hj or running him a bath, or giving him a massage and completely worshipping him, making sure he knows how loved he is. i think he'd also be so well spoken and know exactly what jccng needs to hear about whatever he's struggling with, always saying the right thing that eases his worries when they're curled up together in bed after a day of jccng being pampered 🥺

hj i think would show his affection through gift giving and quality time. even if it's not something material or expensive, maybe he'd write hwx a song or get his favorite snacks from the convenience store. i like to imagine he'd indulge in hwx's interests as well, like maybe offer to build legos together (mctz lego live im still waiting for you...) or play animal crossing with him. he would make sure hwx has time set aside for doing the things he loves, so they can do them together and it will be even more special for hwx, the joy of hj enjoying something he does completely making him forget about his worries <3

i honestly think they'd love just spending time in each others company either while each doing their own thing, or enjoying doing smth together like watching a movie curled up on the couch, or playing a video game. if they were each doing their own thing, i can imagine them laying in bed, jccng's back against hwx's chest with his laptop in front of him while he works on music and hwx plays animal crossing on his switch 🥺 they'd occasionally give each other little affectionate touches or kisses just because they can. hwx would show jccng something in his game, and jccng would take his headphones out every once in a while to ask hwx what he thinks of the track he's working on.....just quality time together in close proximity oh im gonna cry /pos

hiii anon omg i love this question!! i think my fav is the idea that hwx would love to feel hj's weight on him, like a weighted blanket. when they cuddle he wants hj sprawled on top of him, when they watch tv together he loves having hj leaning against him or resting his head in his lap, they'd take baths together with hj leaning back against hwx's chest. he would just always want to feel hj against him, tangible and real, using him as a pillow and resting his full weight on him 🥺 and just as a bonus—i also think hj would love to have his hair played with during these times. one of hwx's subtle ways of showing attentiveness and care.

thank you sm for the question MWAH <3

hiiii dolly !!! I hope you're having a good day too! :3 I think my fav would be a tie between The Feeling You Bring and Going Our Way :) They're both very different from each other, one being pure filth while the other is super plot-heavy, so I have to give them both some recognition !! GOW was the first fic I ever started writing for the fandom and it holds such a special place in my heart, I never stop thinking about my pirates secngjccng they're so precious to me <33 and TFYB is so special to me as well because not only did i enjoy writing it so much (it was verryyyy self indulgent asjfhkdhg), but it also brought me so many new friends and the response to it had been so overwhelming at the time—still is now, too <3 I still can't believe how many people read and enjoyed that fic :')))) Thank you for the question! <3333

hiii anon! Hmmm everyone is different, it depends on your level of motivation and how much free time you have available. But i feel like generally it would be aiming a bit high :( It's good to pace yourself when writing so you don't get burnt out, and if it feels like you're rushing to meet a deadline it can kind of weigh on you and make it more difficult in my experience, esp if you end up forcing yourself to write when you aren't feeling it just to get it done in time. But of course some people find having a deadline encouraging, so it's all depending on you and your previous experiences! If you have experience writing longer fics and haven't had any trouble with staying motivated, i'd say it's possible. But if it's your first time writing something so long I think it's better if you have plenty of time to space out your writing and prevent burnout as much as possible until you become more familiar with your capabilities as a writer! So I'd say it's not entirely unrealistic, but it's definitely cutting it a little short and could become stressful trying to finish it in time. especially when you add in the time you'll need to proofread/edit. Whatever you do, I'm cheering for you and wishing you luck !!
