𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ᵉ*ᵗᵐ

Hi babes, Just a quick but important note for anyone who's been waiting on updates—especially those of you who've sent fanart (first of all: I LOVE YOU. I SEE YOU. I TREASURE YOU.)

I wanted to let y'all know that from this point on, I'll be uploading fanart with credits only, without my usual personalized responses underneath. Not because I don't care—gods, I care too much—but because... if I'm honest? Trying to write the "right" response to each one has kinda been what's been holding me back from posting updates.

Like... y'all don't understand. I agonize over these. I'll sit with a piece for hours—literally HOURS—trying to put into words how it made me feel, what little details I loved, how honored I am that someone spent time and energy creating something for this weird little fic of mine. I never want to half-ass it. I never want an artist to feel like I just tossed their work into a queue and moved on. I want to give back what they gave me, if that makes sense??

But the truth is, I'm getting more fanart now than I can keep up with (which, again, blows my mind), and trying to do individual write-ups for each one was slowly turning into a cycle of stress and guilt. I'd start overthinking, postponing updates until I felt "caught up," and suddenly days would go by with me just... frozen.

So! To avoid that cycle, but still honor the love you've poured into these pieces, I'll be sharing fanart going forward with full credit, but without the little commentary blocks beneath.

Please know: I still adore every single piece. I save them, I revisit them daily, and I even show them to my twin while kicking my legs screaming because it STILL doesn't seem real that people like my writing enough to make art. 

This is just me being honest about needing to take pressure off myself so I can keep writing (and breathing) without burning out.

Thank you for understanding 💛 And thank you, always, for creating with me. Next update shall be up shortly! Just finishing up adding all the fanart I've gotten lately—and not to spoil anything, but let's just say... hope you're ready to meet the god behind the thunder. ⚡️
