“Wouldn’t it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn’t have tea?”
Stories and Warmth
Alas, depending how you look at it, he either ripped the upholstery with his toe, tore a hole in his sock worse than anyone ever has, or kicked a hole in the fabric of reality/the fourth wall. On the plus side, erasing right through the paper is a good wake up call to stop being perfectionistic! ☺️
I may add on to this picture later down the line (I have some, idea of curtains to frame the scene,) but the picture wants to be done for now, so there you go. I had good fun with it. Deep gratitude to two of my housemates for holding a book and teacup, and draping an arm over the couch, respectively!
honestly? abandoned/on indefinite hiatus/very slow to update fics, even and especially AUs and longfics, are often some of my absolute favorites. and people who refuse to read them are missing out!
for one, stories don’t have to be finished to be enjoyable and worth reading. but also? an unfinished fic is a whole little universe that just keeps on existing in my head! their world stays alive for me in a way that doesn’t always happen with fics I binge read and finish, and i love it. i don’t know how their story ends, so it just keeps going! and even when those stories DO update and finish years later, they’ve been in my head for so long that they stick around like old friends.
so to any author with unfinished works: thank you SO much for sharing what you had without waiting to finish it first. you’re just giving me the gift of getting to spend more time with your story and your idea. if you do update again someday, i’ll be delighted to jump back in! but if you don’t, just know a little piece of your world still lives on in a beloved tiny terrarium in my brain. i promise i’m taking good care of it :)
i don’t normally ask this, but if this resonates with you please reblog it, so it can reach the authors who need to hear it <3
