I’m not sure if you got my ask or not, but I got impatient (which isn’t uncommon for me lmao) so I’m gonna send you a submission and let you know (again) just how amazing you are, because it never hurts to tell you shit like this twice.

I’d like to start out by saying: Thank you so much for following me even though I’m pretty sure it’s just because I reposted one of your Cockles rants. A+ on that btw! You are undoubtedly my favorite fanfic writer and seeing that notification pop up almost gave me a fucking heart attack because “almaasi just followed me. ME!” and it took me a good thirty minutes to get breathing again.

Your fics are absolutely amazing and always make me smile! Some of them have even helped me through really important stages of my life [“Dean’s List” helped me deal with figuring out I was bi and “Mostly in Silence” got me out of a really dark spot (I even downloaded the self-care checklist you made for it xD)], but I just cannot get over how perfectly you capture the characters, even in drastically different AUs.

Your writing is #goals and I honestly aspire to reach your level of awesomeness in my writing, because you are constantly wowing me with how clearly you describe everything and I just AHHH!

So thank you for blessing my eyes and the interwebs with your utterly adorable and perfect fics, and pls keep writing and Always Keep Fighting!

<3

HI THERE i actually didn’t get your ask, but i got this, and AAAH THANK YOU?!!?!?!!! THANK YOU

(i did follow you because of that cockles post. you added the “i’m just getting colours” gif to it and i laughed a lot and that was great, i’d never seen that line used in that kinda context before~)

i’m so PLEASED that my fics helped with some tricky stuff in your life?? that’s tHE DREAM for me as a writer, and i’m so proud of you for figuring yourself out and getting yourself through a tough time. glad i could give you a nudge in the right direction. *fist bump*

really though. thank you so much for this message. i really, truly appreciate that you’ve allowed something like my writing into your life and actually took my messages on board for yourself. it’s definitely WAY more to do with you being open to understanding and helping yourself, than my actual stories, but i’d like to think we somehow met in the middle and helped each other. c:

wishing you allllll the goodness and happy thoughts <3
