Hiiii, Bound by Ink just reached 100k views and I couldn’t be happier!! Like I am genuinely crying hahaha.
I started writing it on the 11 July 2025, as a bet but also a therapy. I didn’t expect it to blow this way and to make people fall in love with it.
I really am happy that there are people who found themselves in Ling/Orm and that I could portray some of their feelings.
Personally, my relationship with my mother was similar with Ling’s mother, at least until she birthed our last sibling. Although she has softened since then and we are kinda close, I still have those wounds I will never talk with her because keeping peace is better than anything currently. So, when I wrote Ling finally being freed from her mother, it was what I wished for myself when I was a kid. And when I wrote Mae Koy and LingOrm’s relationtionship, it is the relation I had with my aunt who somehow had been a closer version of a mom for me during those time.
It took me almost a year to realize that I was pouring myself in some characters and in the start, BBI was giving me strange feelings. I was scared to write it and I didn’t know why…but I pushed again and again and one day, it wasn’t heavy to write, it was more on how I wanted it to be perceived.
Hahaha, I won’t add long words again, but I am really thankful you are enjoying our journey.
Once again, thank you for being there, I appreciate you all very much.
On the 11th, BBI will be 10 months years old hahaha, so cute.
