I LOVE THIS QUESTION!  This is a rambling mess with a to be continued on it. . Be warned. lol  Okay, so my guesses are Cancer for John and Taurus for Abigail. However, Virgo makes TOTAL sense, too!!  I’m re-reading the notes I have on the Cancer sign and I’m kind of confused why I chose it. lol I think Cancer kind of fits an older John like Epilogue to rdr 1 onwards - but it still seems too sensitive for him. Some sites descriptions sound like him and some don’t and that goes for cancer, saggie etc.  Saggie seems to work for him, too - but not so much as an older John. It’s almost like they are two totally different people. haha I remember my gut instinct was Scorpio  but the problem with all of these is how John shows emotions and that changes over time for him, especially as his priorities change.  I think I’m going to have to get back to you on this. 

//Thank you so much! You're a QUEEN!!

Question: What does your character do when they see their crush?

So, John isn't really that smooth. He likes to pretend he is, but he knows he's not. Probably something like this.

John leans against a tree, his lanky legs crossed ,looking lazily at his finger nails. He nods towards you,

“Hey, Just get back? Been gone a while. Was startin' to think you forgot about me." he says with a slight grin.

He seems so nonchalant. In reality, he's jittery, trying to resist from bouncing his leg - something most of the camps hates vehemently. His eyes tend to be slightly wider than normal with a hint of softness. ....doe eyed one may say.

He tends to go between being really talktative or being really quiet. He's worried if he talks too much, he'll say something stupid and have you/ his partner/Abigail/ leave. His nerves sometimes take the better of him. It'll usually end up with something like,

You mean like maybe somebody who liked my writing back then and commented doesn’t do so anymore? I had that happen to me. One day they think what you do is great, the next day they send you anon hate. 🤷

BUT I think that’s very much a rare case, and it doesn’t really matter. I think writing is very much a NOW thing. They liked it when they read it, and I was happy about the comment. It doesn’t matter if the person still likes the same story 5 years from now since I already know that at some point in time, they liked it. 

As for writing, I don’t think you can go backward. You get better the more you write, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I not only read old comments but also my own writing. Depending on the fic, I can either see how much I improved OR I know that I’m capable of writing something good if I try my best.

I recently talked about this with someone, and I think creators on tumblr sometimes forget that making stories/art/gifs etc. is not only about the finished product, but you should enjoy the process. I failed to do so recently, and I’m currently working on getting that joy back that creating stories usually gives me.

If you just love what you do, there’s nothing to worry about. No notes, no comments (no matter how great that is) - just the enjoyment of the thing you do.

Of course, thanks for asking!! Link or tag me when it’s up, I’d love to see and share your awesome work!! 🥰✨
