#winter's asks

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH MY DEAREST, I'M CRYING THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜💜

I have more than 7 favourite creators, actually. Of course you are absolutely counted, so consider yourself included in the list (the order is casual)!

My absolute wife, muse and source of inspiration @sylasthegrim

My Dunk fellow girlie and head of the Papa!Dunk squad @knightofcassiopeia 🤭

My ultimate Leon girlie @legitalicat

My favourite Dickon girlie @aneurins-barnard

The @lord-aldhelm herself

@ptheviking and her wounderful gifs 💜

My Italian fellow and David lover @kingslionheart

My Oscar/Daniel girlie @turneraidan

We have never interacted, but I want to mention @cestpasfaux24601 because their Bertie/Baelor gifs are PURE GOLD, I can't believe I'm having the honour to see them in my dash for free.

My fellow TFATWS Bucky wife @starfly-nicole

@oddsnendsfanfics and their amazing TLK stories. I'm not part of the fandom anymore, nor I have the wish to come back for now, but I'm so happy to see someone so passionate and able to still create something for that fandom. 💜

Obviously the one and only @bubbarnes and their FUCKING AMAZING SEBASTIAN GIFS-

@itzzkaylaaa because of who she is

Putting them all together because they're like sisters to me and I love them equally: @azriona , @daydreamgoddess14, @soelstress, @societyfolklore and @buckybarnesfic

@stardustrider, obviously and absolutely! 💜

Hello, my love. 💜💜

14: A fic you didn’t expect to write

I don't know... Maybe the one I wrote for the cryofreeze's event? Because never I thought I would put myself out there and compare myself with other writers. I'm not very self confident with myself, I still think my writing sucks and it's the reason why I have few will to write and why I don't have a big engagement. But this little fic? It gave me a new purpose to write and to improve myself, and taught me not to be afraid of comparison and to look at the others with a sense of improvement than of threat.

19: Any new fics to start next year

Girl, I have an endless list of WIPs I don't even know where to start ahahahahha. But I think my first fic will be the nerd!Bucky x artist!reader, then I was thinking to resume Between Dark and the Void, maybe revising a bit the chapters and then finish writing it. I missed writing it and I forgot how special it was to me.

Then, I think I will start underlining my Bucky x OC story. It will probably be my longest project ever, since I'm planning to cover ALL the MCU phases.

25: A fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

*Inhales* I have so many of them I've read and enjoyed I can't recommend you just one. So, I will make a little list.

DISCLAIMER: Most, if not all the fics I'll post here are Bucky x Reader, so sorry for the moots coming from other fandoms that will read this and feel like I cut them out. It's not the case, I just consumed too much Bucky content this year I barely touch anything coming from other fandoms.

Suggestions under the cut:

thank you so much for being such a supportive member of fandom

Awww, this is adorable. Thank you for the compliment, nonnie 🥹💜

I don't do this because I want something in return, I want to do this because I believe this place can come back to the site it was some years ago, with people supporting people through a better interaction and a less toxic place.

I know myself alone can't go so far, but if I can contribuite and start by sharing some positivity, then I'm more than happy to do it.

And I'm not done! I have more and more writers and gifmakers who will receive this message. My list is still long, and I couldn't do It all yesterday like I won't today. But I'll be sure to leave bits of positivity in most of the people's inbox.

Dear "anon" (because I know who you are), I'm so sorry if it took me so much time to reply, but I had to collect my things correctly and give you a reply that wasn't too impulsive or angry to you.

Without spilling the bean publicly too much because I don't like it (the New Year's posts don't matter as it is me who choose to vomit all the thing I've kept hidden for a whole year), over the past 2025 I've dealt with several "difficult situations" here on Tumblr that forced me to distance myself from certain people I considered my moots. If you happened to get caught in the middle it's because we had probably some moots in common, and with that I'm sorry because you have nothing to do with this.

It was rude from me, I know, but I felt I needed to be with myself and change air for a while. If I gave you the impression you wrote on the ask, it is not and I'm sorry if my actions proved you otherwise.

If you want to discuss this matter in private (honestly, way better than an anon ask on Tumblr), please feel free to reach me. My DMs, Discord messages and all the platforms you have me are always opened to everyone, I'm not the type who bans people out of the blue or doesn't reply (if I do it's because I'm busy with my everyday things. I know it may seem I'm constantly online here, but most of the time is me having the website opened in background).

I've always said to the people who have known me that I rather prefer a brutal honesty than knowing things behind my shoulders. I know I don't manage difficult situations well, but I'm not made of crystal, sooner or later, I will have to learn how to manage moments of stress or misunderstanding.

Whenever you want, you know where to find me. I don't bite and I'm more than happy to solve this situation with you!

A bit late, but here we go!

15: Something you learned this year

A thing that I have learned is that no matter how hard you put your efforts in your fic: not everyone will read it. Wether you're a big or small writer, you have to be grateful of that circle that will always be here to enjoy and appreciate your work and what you manage to create.

I have also learned not to relate on numbers too much, since I think this is the major death of creativity. I had to shut down a fic series I loved writing once because the numbers weren't the ones I expected, I won't repeat the same mistake again.

16: Fic(s) you completed this year

My creativity has been incredibly low this year, but I strangely managed to complete two fics: the first one is Vows in Grief, a Halloween fic I wrote, and the second one is the one I wrote for the Cryofreeze event. You can find it here, though I'm writing the extended version between a gifset and another.

Thank you for the ask, hope you have a great day! 💜

Happy birthday, darling! 🎉

Dayyyy my love. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! 💜💜
