Oh... Wow... IDK why it took me so long to find your Tumblr. ANYWAY I now have the power to bother you about how your writing made me go insane with giddiness and unholy thoughts. I even pulled a friend of mine into the abyss by showing her the NanaSho works you wrote. It has consumed her and I'm not sorry about it. Well that's it, just wanted to say reading your stuff makes me froth at the mouth and want to rip pillows in half. That's all. Have a good day. Goodbye.
OMG, hey, hello, I love your SatoShoko art! You’re one of my fave artists. The GetoHime one made my day, nay, my year! It was a pleasure to reblog it and I’ll be sure to shout it out whenever I update that GetoHime story I’m working on. Thank you for the dopamine hit and inspiration.
Not giddy and unholy thoughts! Frothing at the mouth! I am honored!
I actually love getting to shout out other writers here. I did not write the NanaSho on my profile. For the curious, a reader named van_del wrote “tell me your heart’s on fire” as a gift, and my lovely and talented writer friend bby_rabbit wrote “why am I awake at 2:00 a.m.,” which is a rewrite of her previous story, “no panties kind of weather.” I am thrilled to hear that you and your friend have enjoyed those stories. I’ve been lucky to receive gifts on ao3, and there are lots of other stories in my bookmarks worthy of love, so it’s great to hear that people actually look at them.
Thanks for the sweet comment and take care!
I literally went through the depths of my phone to find the memes that inspired Shiny Pink Bubblegum Psychopathic Sweetheart (it's NSFW and rated M). In conclusion, my life is hell and the memes on my phone create a swamp of misery. But at least it gives me inspiration!!!! And you can't tell me that there isn't an uncanny resemblance to SatoShoko I simply SHAN'T HEAR IT!!!!
Let this be a reminder that true love is sending each other ridiculous memes that may only be funny to your special person <3
P.S. I definitely described the top meme incorrectly but alas, no one is perfect, especially not me!
hi, idk if you dig this ship (geto and utahime) but if you do, I'm hoping that you might draw them, romantically maybe haha. I hope that's not asking for too much, There's so little fanworks about them 😞
Just for you! I like how Antioedipus writes them so I went for something more agressive hehe
This is probably going to be so random, but I had a very interesting rare pair back in my early days writing Naruto fic: Ebisu and Shizune.
IM SORRY LMAO
I write rare pairs so I have no leg to stand on and I’m not going to tell people what to ship, but I don’t have the imagination for this vision. I can also admit that this is because I can't stand Ebisu, but that’s on me lol. I bow to your creativity, and thank you for sharing!
I'm biased lol I think Shizune and Aoba are where it's at. Thanks for the giggle!
My sad girl mood forever and ever.

hi, dear author! i hope you're doing well. i just wanted to say that i love your satoshoko and reading your stories always feels like time well-spent. you're an excellent writer which ig would only stand to reason you're probably a reader as well haha. anyway, ive been itching for more of them so I was wondering if you could pretty please w a cherry on top give me book recs in the vein of (your) satoshoko? doesn't even have to hit the same tropes as stsk, just their general vibe, and/or your writing style for their stories. thank you in advance if you answer ♡
Hi! Thank you for your kind comments about my writing. I have a weird relationship with my own stories, so it’s nice to hear that they are a) being read and b) liked by readers. I do read a lot, guilty as charged. I don’t, however, read a ton of romance, so a lot of my suggestions are more along the vibes of dealing with alienation that I think haunts the SatoShoko ship.
So anyways, the books I have selected are about loneliness, and the strange humor that is found within sadness. I hope you haven’t read at least some of them, nor see them on the list and think less of me. I am obviously not even a shadow of these writers, so I suspect that you will find them way more entertaining to read. As always, some of these stories could have triggering content so if there is anything you are hoping to avoid, look them up on Goodreads or Storygraph first.
Normal People by Sally Rooney is a literary romance for sad people, and the man isn’t completely toxic, so it has to go at the top of the list.
“The depressed person” is a short story from David Foster Wallace that is in his collection Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. It’s my favorite of his books and is full of great stories but is also the one that repulses me the most. The short story itself is about a woman coping with depression, and was the vibe I was going for in the story “Displacement.”
The reason it took me some time to answer this message is because I had to reread at least two of the stories in Eleven Kind of Loneliness by Richard Yates. Each story is in plain prose, and focuses on the different ways that people deceive themselves. I had to reread it just to re-check the vibes, but it’s great and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully the rest of it checks out! I guess I'll find out as I continue my reread lol.
My last recommendation is a book I just finished. Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata is a collection of stories that are a little surreal, pretty strange, and are all about connection in some way or another. I feel like SatoShoko probably watch and read weird shit all the time, so that’s my pretence for including it, but I actually just think that it’s a really great collection of short stories.
Now, if you’re looking for SatoShoko stories, I know that there are several collections and bookmarks featuring different writers. My writer pal bby_rabbit wrote me a good SatoShoko, “heartbreak soldiers, disappointment junkies” (NSFW, M). It’s a great story, and to be frank, there would be no antioedipus without bby_rabbit (or Bawgdan, as she was going by when we met).
Happy reading, and let me know if you need anything else!
SatoShoko + GetoHime art + GetoHime ficlet by two talented creatives - I feel like I am finally being seen!!!!
Your art style is so visually pleasing 🤩‼️‼️ I'd really love to see satoshoko and getohime on a double date with your art style, I think that'd be really cute. 💖
When he's not good enough for your friend but you have to keep your mouth shut and hope that you're not right.
your brain is soo wrinkly and galactic, thank you for indulging and giving these recs much thought! I've finished the tv adaptation of normal people and while i have only read lines from np, i did pick up another book of hers with satoshoko solely in mind, titled: "beautiful world, where are you". right after binge-reading your works, too, so i somehow feel validated she made it to the list. i have read ms. bby_rabbit's work and loved it! I always enjoy when fics explore the dynamics of satoshoko + the students (esp kugitafushi), and hs,dj's megumi was a delight. sadly, I'm now unfamiliar w the remainder of your list, but rest assured i am capital R - running - straight to storygraph after this.
re: weird relationship with one's own works, i get a version of that feeling too, as i am my own harshest critic. however, i want to share an anecdote with you that i hope you'll enjoy. one time i was just watching this on youtube when i, completely out of nowhere, imagined seiya probably having done it as well. i don't know how i got here lol. i was never one to think about ship babies and i'd be embarrassed about stsk popping up in my head, if it weren't for the fact that it was an added layer, which truly made the video more comedic.
it goes to show you've written characters so memorable and endearing in that they manage to sneakily occupy ppl's minds and brighten days. thanks again for answering.
p.s. did u ever watch the hidden inventory arc get animated? it was so cute
Dunno about wrinkly and galactic, but my brain is certainly in my skull. I don’t mind talking about books, reading is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve never seen the television adaptation, but I’ve read both of those books. I think Normal People is the better novel of the two. I love bby_rabbit, she’s my writer bestie, and I’ll be sure to pass your sweet words on!
Wow, that video made my day! I loved how the little baby was very careful not to disturb their mom but fully slapped their dad across the face. It’ s so flattering to hear that you thought of little Seiya, and that you don’t cringe when my stories come back to you unexpected. Day made, self-esteem boosted!
I have not yet seen the second season. I’m annoyed with where the manga has been going, and I don’t want to see Yuji’s torture well animated, but the clips I have seen are very cute!
She/Her. Pls don't bully me on the internet. Known as antioedipus on ao3.
