strideup asked:

I would give him an extra level or something, but I’ve already strung my would-be readers along quite a b...

People often ask me if I would ever make a ‘heart break’ writing playlist.


I guess I could, though to be 100% honest the playlist would be "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri repeated about 15 times.

Alright — I am not making any promises— but I am going to try to attempt to get through the big pile of asks that I’ve gotten over the last couple of days. I got a bunch on the days I was gone (Wed/Thu). I am not promising that I will get to all of them, but I am going to be putting in a bit of overtime so if you have a question you might as well send it nowᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
