omg hi!! woah you came from reading moon bleached bird... thank you so much for reading and loving my baby :') i'm glad my little fic can touch part of your heart, it makes me so, so happy. and yes, to be honest, while i was writing moon bleached bird, i knew i want a happy ending for them, but i couldn't believe i could write it. i think you sensed that, the unsurety, the question of, "will it really get better?" because i also question that throughout the writing of this fic. originally, the plot i had in mind was for jisung to run away from seungmin and disappeared, because i thought, seungmin doesn't deserve to wait this long for someone who couldn't give him any surety. this will all end up in pain and seungmin shouldn't stay for so long, he shouldn't be so stubborn. i think, in my mind, it was also what jisung would want. but as i wrote it, i began to wonder, if i were in seungmin's shoes, i think i would /never/ let jisung go. and so i abandoned the unhappy ending and went with where the characters guide me, i guess? just going with the flow. it ended up being like this. i think the ending is a bit abrupt, but sometimes light crashes into our dark world in a very unexpected time, so suddenly, without warning. and then we realise, ah, it does get better. it won't always be at the best, and sometimes the better will become worse again, but not sorrow won't last forever unless you cling stubbornly onto them. i think, recently, that's how i ended up viewing moon bleached bird. sorry for rambling, hahaha... thank you so much once again for enjoying this little fic! i hope the world is being kind to you, anon <3

OH MY IM SO SORRY I DON'T HAVE RS NOTIFS ON AND IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FINALLY SEE THIS MESSAGE NOOOOOOOOO........ thank you, my dear :( when you get the notif of me replying to your message, i hope you will be reminded that you are loved, too. i think we all as writers find escapism in these strings of words, and i may be able to write my burdensome emotions with these words, i think your way with words is precious in its own way. i think you are more than capable of loving, there is love in your words, and it's warm. and safe. i think you are capable of loving because you care about people, so much. you pay attention, and you care, and you convey those feelings into words and it speaks love in the most precious, genuine way. i will treasure it. you are very very loved, and you have to know that i wouldn't trade you as my friend with anything in this world. you are very precious to me <3

eyes guts throat bones by moira fowley!!! if you’re like me and you like unhinged short stories with raw description i definitely recommend this book! (and most of the stories are about wlw relationship so, chef’s kiss) and then bliss montage by ling ma, this is also a short stories compilation and i find the writing style so fascinating to read and think about! i haven’t finished it yet tho i’m like, halfway through it. and then i’d also recommend the starless sea, it’s a bit of “plot but more vibes” book but i really like the story (and there’s 200k fanfic written as a sequel of it so really, you are feasting if you read this book)! and then if you’re looking for something with more lighter writing style but still gut-punching, i’d recommend almond by won pyung sohn! i haven’t read that many books these days bc of uni so 😞 these are all anon, i hope you like them 🤍
