What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

the plot of whole cake island in a nutshell
Mr. Sunshine
Part one of my Secret Santa present from the OP server I'm on! The promt was "Overprotective Strawhats" :))
and im still mad about it
You know what?
I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.
I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)
I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.
I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.
I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.
I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.
I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.
I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.
I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.
@fluffyartbl0g drew me a thing from my fic and i need you to know i actually screamed - the only reason my family didnt barge into my room is because my AC is loud af so thank you AC
IM STILL SCREAMING ABOUT IT THANK U LOOP I LOVE YOU <3 I LEGIT SOBBED
What do the strawhats do for luffys birthday? Ah that first birthday after his disappearance must've been so sad 😭
probably just cry ig aidfhwauifbkfgb
hmm i honestly think they would have a party in his honour—even though they are hurting and "mourning" his presence, id like to think that they would shove all those negative emotions deep down into a box and seal it shut just for that one day. Any other time, they would allow their grief to swallow them whole, but it's Luffy's birthday.
and if he isn't there to celebrate it, theyd do it for him - wherever he is
