ladies, LADIES, one at a TIME (I say to an empty room)

But seriously it means a lot to me that my writing became a part of your routine and this goes for many other people, I'm glad ITPOT has carved a space into your schedule. I think I feel the same way about ITPOT I didn't expect it to become such an integral part of my schedule, ITPOT is a year of work, I'm shocked because when I first started it was such a light hearted fic and now we've gone to the deep end. It's never too late to be a citizen of Pineapple Nation!

I'm glad I posed the fic on AO3 I wasn't going to but after much thought and many requests it was the only logical answer. It's not silly at all, one of the biggest parts about Sage's character at least in ITPOT is that he doesn't treat not knowing something like a moral failure. Something all too common nowadays. He questions, observes, and takes things apart piece by piece because understanding is something you build, not something you magically wake up with. Sage doesn't see not knowing as a reason to give up on yourself, in fact he pushes you to take the first step into understanding.

I'm really glad this has had such a powerful impact on people especially in academia, which is a brutal environment, so much is happening all the time it can be easy to fall within your own thoughts. So we all need someone like the sage, a teacher, mentor, or friend who can ground us.

Now onto my fic

I never thought about just calling MC "Stargazer" from here on out I'll just do that, it's easier haha!

I really love that chapter, because...well I want to word it in a way that isn't me saying it was all for nothing... But it's really a lesson that you can't keep everything safe, and you can take so many measures just for it to mean nothing. But this scene is important so it wasn't for nothing. That scene is important to me and watching people piece it together has been so fun and painful in equal measure. Painful because I couldn't share but fun because I love seeing the theories.

As for the light of deceit I had the idea and I had to write it down on a physical sticky note because I saw the chapter in my head and needed to bullet point it. It was something so difficult to do to introduce the light of deceit it was rewritten 3 times before I was somewhat content with it's revelation.

The next chapter will be out sometime next month only because of my finals, it would have been out this month if I had the time...

Also thanks for commenting here I am much more active on my tumblr because of the inbox feature haha, which I've been neglecting only because of my finals so please forgive me guys I will be checking them friday!

AND FANART??? I would actually pass away. No pressure of course, but just the thought of someone drawing scenes from my silly little emotionally devastating cookie fic makes me want to bite drywall.

I genuinely love and cherish all the fanart I've received I'm planning on printing them and placing them in my room I'll laminate them I'll make a collage of the ones I've received and place it in my room and frame it.
