I’m going to start with your Cat!Steph because it’s such a cop out and I’m lazy. I’ll be honest, I never actually understood wtf the deal was with people wanting Catfam AUs for everyone (especially Tim and Steph like what is the DEAL with that????) until you came around. At this point I was already deeply in love with your Steph, and already deeply in love with YOU to the point where I would follow you into the dark no matter where you go. But at the same time ... Cat!Steph? Why?

But even with the little bit I’ve played with her, I get it. I get it now. You made me understand this thing that for so long I stubbornly refused to understand, and that takes skill because I’m as stubborn as a mule.

With your writing in general, I always forget that English isn’t your first language. I have a crazy amount of respect for people who write in languages that aren’t the ones they were raised with, no matter how comfortable with that second language they may be. Just knowing my own struggles learning a second language, I only managed to sound coherent. To actually write in another language as well as I do in English? That’s no easy feat for anyone, regardless of their situation.

AND YOU’RE SUCH A GOOD WRITER TOO WHICH IS WHAT GETS ME. I have no idea if you’re more comfortable with Spanish than you are English, but if you are then I’m signing myself up for Spanish classes just so I can read what you write because holy shit, Hemelyn. Holy shit.

Also you’re like an amazing human being?? You’re so chill and wonderful and easy to talk to. I don’t talk to you as often as I actually want to, mostly because your amazing personality and talent and everything are slightly intimidating and you’re kind of my senpai -- also I’m kind of a weed and you will get tired of me -- but please never translate that as me not wanting to talk to you or not thinking the world of you.
