It's been one very strange year to say the least, both globally and personally, and I think 2021 will be much the same in terms of abnormality.
I struggled a little at times this year, friendships suddenly ended, being pretty much confined to my house, losing my writing mojo at times, but I also have much to be thankful for.
This is the year I completed my second longfic, Rebel Run, in a tiny fandom (Outer Worlds), and learned to love my writing for what it is, rather than feeling anxious about numbers.
It's also the year I found the Obey Me fandom, which pushed me to restart my tumblr, abandon the toxicity of twitter, and start writing my theories here so I didn't forget them.
To my huge surprise, lots of you enjoyed reading them! My small blog got big very fast, and I've so enjoyed reading your comments, your own theories, and being able to share in something really positive in a year full of irl turmoil.
Now I have an entire masterpost of theories, headcanons, and song interpretations, and a second masterpost of guides ๐ฑ
I launched my Obey Me fic, Wolf At Your Door, and I'm still amazed at how many readers and fans it has, the wonderful comments and shares, and the fact it's brought me new friendships! It's my longest longfic by far - not least as volume 2 is also almost halfway written! - and its really given me something full of joy to focus on this year. Thank you ๐ฅบ๐
The comments left on both my fic and my blog absolutely make my day ๐ญ
In 2021 I plan to continue writing my fics, sharing my theories here, providing lyric translations and everything else too.
I also want to give a huge shout out to the Obey Me Theories discord server I set up - you guys are absolutely awesome people, and I'm so glad I've been able to meet you all and get to know you better (if anyone else wants to join, just drop me a message!).
Special thanks as well to Kicia for coming into my life when I felt very low and a little broken. Your messages and words have meant the absolute world to me, and I love that we've shared inspiration, fic talk, music, life experience, and so much more ๐ญ
2020 was also the year of my OC Tabby coming to life, with her own Mammon (and the rest!) and I saved up to get some gorgeous commissions to go alongside Wolf At Your Door.
Here they all are, with links and thanks to the artists!
(Click on images for full size if on tumblr app, the app squishes them ^^;)
And once again, to all my readers and friends:
My first commissions of Tabby and Mammon by the lovely rikumbia!
Two blushie Paws and Claws boys by the amazing Angerycookies! (Also pls call out people when they steal this Mammon, thank you ๐ญ)
Tabby's two go-to outfits - her cropped and DIY'd RAD jacket, and the bear hoodie Beel gave her, by the great cosmisuldraws!
And the beautiful cover art for Wolf At Your Door by @fishheadakira!!
Mammon and Tabby's first kiss in the rain, during a disaster picnic, by the incredible szainx!
And the moment Mammon fell for Tabs as she angrily defends him, by the amazing belphcgors!
I am the leader of the Mammon Has A Tail propaganda machine, and this early commission by my fave TetraTheRipper is proof!
Also a sneak peek at a second piece from Tetra that goes with volume two of my fic ๐คซ
The dance scene in Wolf At Your Door is pivotal, and mvdfvcedmvl made it look wonderful! Lookit that blushy boy!
And the CUTEST little pic of Mammon and Tabs by the excellent kasi_ona!
I didn't originally mean to take a break over Xmas which means I've left Wolf on the WORST cliffhanger, but @erabu-san illustrates the angst of the aftermath of Belphie's attack so beautifully ๐ฅบ๐ญ
And obeynut did a gorgeous piece of my two favourite beans that will close out the end of Wolf when it comes, before we move to part two ๐๐ฅฐ
