Hello Dets, I hope you’re well, and I have a little timeline-question if you don’t mind! In Ch7, Gloin complains that Bofur is so much older than Gimris, & Mizim chastises him that “King Dáin is that much older than Queen Thira!” But Dain (*TA 2767) was 99 years old at Thorin Stonehelm’s birth (TA 2866), right, so it can’t be possible for him to be like 70 years older than Thira, she wouldn’t have been remotely of age. Is that a typo and it’s the other way around or did i confuse something? Thx!

Oh bother. That was the line that I adjusted for timelines twice, and now doesn’t work yet AGAIN – thank you for catching that, dear Nonnie!

*trudges off to the fic, muttering, eraser in hand* stupid timelines, stupid trying-to-make-it-fitness guh, where is the wriggle-room in this I ask you

It’s so surreal to realize sometimes that ur this adult with a husband and child on the other side of the earth meanwhile I’m 17 and been reading sansukh for like a little over a year and ur so different and far away but have influenced parts of my life and how I read so much.. It’s so strange but and enriching experience I gotta thank you for that ❤️

*hugs* thank you for being a part of it. I love it. I love that we’re all so amazingly different and from such wildly varying backgrounds and places, and we all come together because we love a universe and the characters in it just so very much ❤ 

(I might just take this opportunity to remind the young folks out there: I am 34, I am married and have a 2yo child, and I am a teacher. So if any of these facts about me make you uncomfortable or iffy about following me/being followed by me, we can part ways and no dramas, k? Your space should be full of the people who make you feel safe, relaxed and happy 🙂 Just tell me, and don’t feel like I will be offended – I really won’t! You should not feel pressured by adults in fandom spaces, ever.)

this is the nonny from yesterday – I’ve spent all of today rereading sansukh, and it is almost 11 pm and I love your thorin. you’ve put so much care and love into his character. I am so happy that you have given him the chance to be angry even when others would call it ‘ugly’, and I am so happy that he and bilbo can finally call each other ‘my dear’ as casually as the sun shines. I can’t believe there’s 8 chapters left, but I’ll read and reread this wonderful story long after it’s finished.

I’m sobbing. Thank you, Nonnie. Thank you for reading it again, and thank you for your beautiful kindness in telling me this. 

*hugs with EXTRA OOMPH* Thank you SO much.

Okay so I know you’re getting a ton of these but I realized I have PTSD not long before I started Sansukh for the first time and I am a ‘bad’ PTSD-haver because it manifests as these bursts of rage and destruction followed by total withdrawal and numbness rather than the standard victim behavior, and your Thorin helped me come to terms with that so much. Thank you. Sansukh means the world to me. Thank you for giving me the chance to be at ease with myself. Thank you.

Oh, Non. *hugs* No. Thank you.

I worked out my explosive anger last night, by writing that prose piece. So I’ve been pretty mellow and calm ever since.

What I’ve taken away from the last day, though? Is that there are a lot of people who aren’t into being told what we ‘should’ do in order to be acceptable and good little model mentally ill people. I’m getting a lot of messages. Dozens and dozens, actually. There are a LOT. 

So many people are telling me that it matters that i wrote him like me, like this. Like us. And that has actually brought me to tears, when the original witless anon hate didn’t even come CLOSE: it just made my temper snap. It didn’t touch me in my soul.

Apparently there are a lot of people like you and me and Sansukh’s Thorin, Nonnie.

I’m so glad. I’m so so glad. That this thing I wrote has actually meant something to you, and to others. I’m so so glad it has helped. God knows we can use a little help now and then. That I did something good helps me, and humbles me and makes me just SO grateful. Thank you for your support and for sharing with me this very personal thing. We’re not alone, it seems. *hugs*

(1/2) I sent an ask earlier, but it was too long… pesky charac limit. Anyway, I can’t believe you have to deal with ignorant, banal nonsense like that review. I Love Sansukh. Not just bc I too live with depression (the air sucking, anhedonic kind)

(2/2) but b/c of how u somehow managed to ALCHEMIZE an already masterpiece into such funny, devastating, utterly sweet, and stunningly inclusive writing I’ve recently had the pleasure of reading. Keep on keepin’ on lovely. Show ‘em how it’s done <3.

oh guh. Reading this was like a soft, loving punch to my chest. Oh my god. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 

I will. I’ll keep on keeping on. I won’t let anyone tell me that my words and experience aren’t worth reading. And I’ll keep smiling and I will finish this, and I will not let this jealous catty ableist bullshit stop me.

Thank you for the beautiful kind words, Nonnie. I am so SO grateful for the support.
