Always an Angel, Never a God

(Also gay Ollie + gay Aiyon?? Thank youuuuuu)

No please send as many requests as you like! I love making Power Rangers things! I’m like Lady Gaga except instead of living for the applause, I live for many PR requests! :DDDDD

The 7th image is two grouped together so I could do them all in one post. The banners (last three images) could also be split up into PFPs. The first four I made to be matching PFPs but I bet they could work as banners too!

(Also @skyland2703 for the gay requests would you rather have the rainbow flag or the blue/teal one or a mix of both?)

genuinely feels like this sums up so many online interactions

officially crushing szn... or something like that.

sharing earbuds/playlists - one realizes that the song they introduced the other to is on their regular playlist

holding the other's hand to guide them somewhere, realizing how perfectly they fit together

the hesitant pinky reach before they hold hands for the first time, neither daring to make eye contact

small, reassuring touches under tables, even when they're not yet together

one nervously rambles while the other simply observes, finding it endearing

biting their lip (hard) to resist smiling at the other and/or their antics

subtle acknowledgement in group settings - a slight eyebrow raise, nod, and always looking at the other to find them already watching

one smiles while looking at a candid photo they took of the other

^ the subject of said photo catching them do it

the creation of inside jokes!

the small pang of excitement when one makes the other laugh

sitting to watch a movie together, but (un)subtly watching each other instead

blush rising to their cheeks at any mention of the other and their blatant attraction to them

I don't check my ao3 stats much anymore, but today, for some reason, I did and saw that a fic I wrote in three hours and posted almost entirely unedited has almost twice as many kudos as a fic that took me five whole months to write, writing every day for 2-3 hours.

Twice as many for literally 1% of the effort.

Hits/Kudos/Comments tell you how timely your work is, how it hits on exactly what someone was looking for in that moment, and how easily consumable it is. If you're writing longer fics, or it has plot that isn't just a ship, engagement is going to be like pulling teeth. Even people who have every intention to read it may keep pushing it lower on the TBR for easier stuff; even people who love your writing may never have the spoons to support you in that way.

You are the only person who can truly judge the quality of your work. The tastes of others will only be a reflection of their own state of mind and opinions. You know how long it took, you know how far you've come. YOU KNOW the type of writer you have grown into.
