i don't study the language in a traditional sense. it's more of learning by doing kind of thing. understanding grammar and structure is important, but I think textbook studying can only take you so far. so i approach the language like a baby! i observe, then imitate. because when learning any language, after a certain point to get better is less about memorizing rules and more about developing a feel for the language.

i love reading books for grammar awareness, sentence structures, and new vocabulary (more enjoyable and easier to remember because i could immediately see the word used in context). this is my main method of learning. i'd read anything as long as it's entertaining. i think that's important, to enjoy it. it doesn't have to be a serious/heavy reading all the time, sometimes i'd even read some bullshit lol. but to learn what makes a good prose, it's good to know what makes a bad prose too.

meanwhile, watching movies, shows, and videos is how i learn how people actually speak it. both help expose me to colloquialisms, idioms, and cultural contexts.

ultimately, throwing myself into situations where i have no choice but to use the language especially with native speakers is by far the fastest way to fluency. but since we can’t always just jump into a new country whenever we want, immersion through media is the next best thing. when we learn a language, we're not just learning words. we're learning a culture and how the people think. and eventually, when we use the language we'll think like the language we speak.

i'm sorry if this is not the kind of answer you're looking for. honestly i'm not even sure how i even learned english at the first place LMAO. i don't think i have an exact method for it.

and I just wanted to say that I really love your work 🫶🏻

AAAAH. that's something i BADLY want to do but i'm not equipped yet to write an f1 au with a level of realism that i want it to be... like, i need it to be believable enough to be immersive. i'd hate to commit for less because this is rlly important to me.

BUT i did dip a toe in with a little sunsun team radio bit here and i've been cooking (in my head) ferrari driver!psh and mercedes driver!ksn with intense on-track rivalry and a lot of banters on media. after monaco gp, sometimes i giggle thinking about sunoo failed start at monaco (like max) and then a couple laps later sunghoon's car started having issues too, and he sarcastically said on the radio, "did kim go home yet? if i crash next lap maybe i can hitch a boat ride."

as for other members, i see riki and jake as teammates actually. maybe mclaren or even vcarb. idk idk. i see lando-oscar and liam-arvid, and i think they'd have that kind of dynamic and teammates rivalry on track but the second cameras are on for social media/marketing it's suddenly <3 best friends forever <3

for pagebreak customization, there are two ways to do it. first you have to create a workskin > apply the workskin on your work. this is the CSS that you can use:

for text/symbols pagebreak:

hr { border: 0; text-align: center; margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; height: auto; } hr::before { content: "𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡"; <!--replace this with whatever symbols you want --> display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1; }

for img pagebreak. i set the height and width to 35px for 1:1 ratio img, you can adjust it according to your img ratio

hr { height: 35px; width: 35px; background: url(IMAGE_URL); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-size: contain; margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; border: 0; }

if you want different pagebreak for different works, you have to create separate workskin for each work.

another workaround is to simply upload it as image. the page break image to image hosting site (i use imgBB & cloudinary) > resize it to 35px > align to center. but you have to copy-paste this individually. this is what it looks like as html:

<p align="center"> <img src="IMAGE_URL" alt="" width="35" align="center"/> </p>

this is a very helpful guide to change customize the fonts in your works: link.

as for the CSS code i personally use in the workskin to customize how my username appears on my ao3 works like this:

for changing the color of your username

h3.byline.heading, h3.byline.heading [rel=author] { color: #FFFFFF !important; /*replace #FFFFFF with the color of your choosing*/ }

for symbols

left side:

h3.byline.heading::before { content: "❤︎⁠ "; /*replace the heart (❤︎) with the symbol of your choosing, emoji works too*/ }

right side

h3.byline.heading::after { content: "❤︎⁠ "; /*replace the heart (❤︎) with the symbol of your choosing, emoji works too*/ }

for customizing your work title

i'm sorry you have to be specific which part of the customization that you're curious about because i did A LOT of things to my fic....

these are some customizations that i've already discussed:

1. messages workskin / instagram screenshots, and just workskin in general: link 2. how i add cute symbols around my username: link

thank you :D

the fonts i'm using for "fieryblooms" on carrd is The Seasons in bold.

Bye, take care and hope u update soon!

hi! thank you so much. i've wrapped up the ending for a while now. those coming from the donation drive and early access have seen it and i have no plans of changing it! :D

i believe it's a rather satisfying one. i actually wrote a few different endings before settling on this, and none of them felt quite right. after everything these characters have been through all the aches and naive hopes however cynical they're made to be, i felt like the story owed them something true. i can honestly say this ending feels like the right one.
