@MeenahReads01 Super wild, right?! The ADHD absolutely took over Logically I know I'm seeing those nine months through rose-tinted glasses too - I struggled just as hard then as I am now and everything turned out fine 😄

@HawthornLoves 150k words in nine months is wild though. The fact that you've done it before is proof the words are in there somewhere. Sometimes the brain just decides to make us work harder for them.

This cannot be the same brain that wrote 150k words in nine months, heck

@PockyChange Thank you! I tend to just hit it and hope and any typos are happy little accidents 🤣

@HawthornLoves Let me know if you need a beta reader! I just got finished with a big fanfic project myself but im cool to beta read!

@PockyChange Thank you! I'm being super careful about taking care of myself and coming up for air this year, I pretty much burnt myself out last time. BUT! I have some fun ideas already so 🤞🤞🤞

@HawthornLoves Im looking forward to seeing what you come up with but make sure to take care of yourself!

Here's some advice I'd pass on to others participating this year: -It's okay to dial it back to a drabble or sketch -It doesn't have to be your favourite thing ever -Every word is an accomplishment -Be strong, be creative, be kind to yourself -Enjoy the community vibes <3333

I wrote myself a note after gajevy week last year (I struggled and wanted to save myself some heartache this year) with the advice: you’re not going crazy, it’s meant to be hard, the prompts are only prompts, writing is meant to be fun, you’ll look back on this with fondness

Gajevy Week is back!! This time in June (^O^) Here is the official post with the prompts and guidelines for this year!! Day 5 is a little crowded because we wanted it to be a free day but also there were prompts we just didn’t want to scrap. #gajevyweek2026 #fairytail #gajevy

@PockyChange Yes! you should absolutely go for it if you can I've wanted helixes for so long but it was never the right time and they're pretty expensive so I put it off but I'm so glad I have two lobes and a helix in each ear now and can't wait to get more helixes, I just wanna sparkle!

@HawthornLoves I got my first piercings in college: lobes and helixes. I wanted to double up on them since

I wonder if Gajeel's hair ever gets caught in all his piercings, like, if the wind picks up it's all over for him, the rest of his day is reserved solely for detangling

this sounds so first world problem-y, and it is, but my god I've had a horrible cold this week and I needed the simple win of bug-free vegetables and easy to peel oranges but noooOoooOoo food comes from the outside and the bugs won't let me forget it

and today I opened a bag of easy peel oranges which took five minutes each to peel and honestly that's unjust false advertising and had me a little miffed

tw bugs on food I had a full blown autistic meltdown yesterday because there were caterpillars on our head of broccoli which sounds silly and privileged until I add that I found out by putting my finger through one, then noticing the wriggling and it made me itch SO BAD I CRIED

Happy Levy Day! ✨ I love drawing her in this outfit 🥹 #fairytail #レビィの日

@PockyChange I am also waiting on my brain to write more fanfiction 😅🤣 I'm so glad you like it!

@HawthornLoves Im awaiting more of your fanfiction tbh its so good. I keep rereading

OH also I realised I'm really bad at social media so if I ever write again I'll update obvs but otherwise consider me the cool aunt who just shows up drunk sometimes but no one has high expectations for 😘

not to yknow but I think about Yariel and Carrick and Misha basically daily but I cannot go down the rabbit hole of writing fanfiction of my fanfiction, where does it end

@fuking_space Ah thank you!!! 💕🎉🥳

@HawthornLoves Happy birthday!!! Thank you for your amazing art! All the best wishes to you 🫶💜

It's my 28th birthday today 🎉 pretty good for someone who didn't expect to live to 20, eh??

@SamanthaRiccio2 My honey took me out for dinner and I had the most delicious korean fried chicken burger, ssamjang mayo? more like ssam-DANG mayo! and too much long island iced teas and look at the cake he made 😭 so many treats

@HawthornLoves HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAWTHORN !!! Enjoy all the treats, all of them.

@fukuroudanii Thank you! I've had a lovely chill day, it's been wonderful 💕

@HawthornLoves Happy birthday 🥳 hope you have a wonderful day 🎈
