Hello, internet lovies! ๐๐ I canโt believe I get to celebrate this! Silent As Shadows has reached 10k hits! This calls for celebratory chibis of these sweet summer children! Spiderโs look is inspired by earlier chapters when he was learning how to communicate with Reyโka (aka Reyโakina) and writing it all down.

I canโt be more humbled that this story became more than a passing fancy. ๐ฅน
I posted the first chapter on August 29th of last year with no expectations or confidence in my writing/storytelling abilities and am stunned to see how far it has come. The support from the AO3 community has been incredible and Tumblr opened a lot of doors to other opportunities and meeting other writers Iโve only fangirled about! ๐คฃ
From comments from @cyren-myadd first appearing to fan art by @anxiousdreamcore (which has been my PCโs background ever since!) to writing prompts from @lilt78 to unexpectedly meeting people from AO3 here on Tumblr (your names are safe with me but I hope you know who you are! ๐คซ) to regular reblogs of SAS and other works by @nilnether and othersโฆ
Ahh, I could exhaust my character limit thanking people for the inspiration they give!
My silly little story of Spider and a deaf Naโvi OC going through the trials of RDA imprisonment in the missing time of Spider with the recoms is more than I ever imagined. I genuinely believe it would not have made it this far without all the helpful criticisms, comments, and kudos. Thank you for making me feel a part of the Avatar fandom in a most unexpected way!
