they've both been published. i know, rare for me to a) post anything, b) post more than one new fic in a day, c) post anything bakudeku (makes sense, tho, given that i don't really like the ship), d) post something that's actually short, e) post anything for valentine's day specifically.

there is at least one valentine's day one-shot (super short) i've started working on. see, sometimes i post things like the og message here cuz it often results in my spontaneously wanting to spite myself and do whatever it is i'm iffy on anyway. though, this one's gonna be an absolute pain to post on wattpad (no smut, so it's not cuz of that). if you know me, you can probably read between the lines there.
            
            this one-shot is for bnha. what ship? here's a massive hint: i don't really like this ship. no matter how many times i've written it, i still don't really like it. so, why did i pick this one in particular? frankly, it was the first to come to mind, and why that is will be apparent.
            
            anyway, i'll consider doing a valentine's day one-shot for bsd too. i'm just clueless as to what i'd write.

            okay, what's truly sweet is your nice comments here. but good, good, and you should be proud of yourself for being able to work through the "post" paralysis, with all that in mind (literally lol). don't feel like you have to comment, though.

oh my gosh you are so sweet! I’m also doing well and I’m really excited to see more content from you. Also that last paragraph felt sooooo relatable I felt like you were reading me like an open book cause that’s exactly how it happened haha. Anyway you are so kind and thoughtful I’m kind of encouraged to start leaving some comments in the stories too, who knows ;)

@lostindisassociation 
            heya! i'm doing all right, and i hope you are as well. dang— honestly, i'm incredibly flattered, and i'm also glad to know that my stories have been able to bring some comfort.
            
            haha so i actually left many years ago, but i've still posted more bnha-related content since then. todoroki is just kind of that comfort character i tend to turn to when i want to write something, and i end up in the weird situation i'm in now lol. so, it's definitely still possible that i'll have more new bnha stories or one-shots in the future. 
            
            thanks for reaching out, despite the posting anxiety, cuz trust me, i know that that really can take a LOT of courage to push through. so fun when hitting "post" goes from a split-second action to something you have your finger hovering over for the next eternity while every imaginable existential scenario plays out in your head. anyway, don't feel pressured to reply, and i hope you're doing well too.

            wishing you the best of luck!
            
            that is the realest thing i've seen today— and sometimes it's hard to get into the flow of things even after you have prompts or ideas, but once you start making those connections and finding ways to string them together, it can be a nice stream of thought and a web of controlled chaos.
            
            ikr. it's one of those things that you can use almost all your senses for and really just be in the heart of without even having to imagine anything like with reading. you don't even need context. what would we do without music?

@luxzine once i get back to practicing rollerskating after quite a while ill see if i can nail the balance without support then learn a few tricks :)
            
            I've had ideas of doing that but keep forgetting to whenever i actually get the chance to write. Actually i just remembered it's been a while since i journaled, so i should just pick sum prompts that are song related and go with it
            
            That's why music is such a way to express, create, and feel, not just listen to your ears. You can visualize moments, create dreams, lighten your mood, all over the variations of sound! It's crazy

@katie_14765 
            ah, yeah, i'm sure the initial learning curve has gotta be one of the most challenging. hopefully you're smooth sailing (ig "skating" here lol) with a little more practice.
            
            that's awesome you find that it's a healthy outlet! have you ever thought about trying to write songs or just lyrics with some of the things you've written down?
            
            i can definitely see how you'd settle on rock since, fr, it does have a lot of subgenres that can encompass quite the spectrum of different things. and that's just one of the joys of music—there's a piece of music out there for everyone, no matter the circumstances.

will probably post the skk one-shot collection fic sometime this week or this weekend. i have another one-shot for it in the works, and i have an idea for another one after that.
            
            where is this motivation for all my actual stories??? come on—

i finished the one-shot that was in the works. it's a christmas special, and let's just say it ended up being like twice as long as it should've been for all the wrong reasons. classic me.
            
            it's not as long as Oblivion, but it's still a hefty one. though, it'll probably be like 2k words shorter on wattpad. if you know what i'm implying here, congratulations. yes, that's in this one-shot. i really didn't want to write it, so i'm glad that that's over.

i probably will post it on wattpad, much to my chagrin. i made a cover, and it's not great, but it looks way better than the trash heap i put for Oblivion. now i just need to figure out what i'm gonna do for the obligatory warnings and stuff.

and i'll drop the link to it.
