[ When I made this blog, your blog was one of the first ones that I had considered following. I ultimately didn't then, despite how smitten I was with your Dain, because I just thought that there was no chance of writing with you. But then you followed my blog first and… Honestly, I'm still in disbelief over it. And now I kind of feel silly for letting my anxiety get the best of me like that. I wish I had followed regardless of how I felt. Your Dain came across as so perfect then. In development, in characterization, in his manifestation through your writing. That still absolutely holds true to today. Furthermore, just getting to see his growth on your blog, with new canonical information being introduced, has been delightful and fascinating. I felt genuinely happy for you when Requiem of Echoing Depths was released. I love seeing your lore posts, your headcanons for Dain, and just the small little things of appreciating Dain. I've said it before, but I think your passion for Dainsleif is the biggest draw for me, and is why I've stayed. As someone who's kind of hesitant to talk about their interests fully, seeing you be so open about yours is admirable. ]

The weight of anxiety that people feels can be worse than what in reality the situation in question pans out, I know this well from my personal experience. But I can promise you that with time and as you get used to see how most of the people operate at large, there is nothing to worry about! You should give yourself more credit than you do, truly. One of the things that I see lacking often times that I find important in the representation of a character is balance when it comes to all the traits that encompasses said character, and that’s exactly what I’ve found in you. It was a really nice surprise to see later on your passion for Childe through the beautiful way you write, your rambles about him (you say that you aren’t as open to talk about your interests, but I’m happy to see that you are with Childe! At least from what I could observe), your thorough headcanons and of course the art. It makes me wish I could be as complete as you in that sense of showing love to a character. I am really glad that I found you and followed, unknowingly that I already garnered your interest time prior. And I’m really happy that we continued being mutuals to this day even if IC interactions aren’t as often, it doesn’t matter. Be it OOC or things related to your muse, I enjoy greatly seeing you on the dash.

I have to say that the thought of seeing Dain perfect in the way I portray him makes me a lil bit shy djfhjg But in a good way! It makes me really happy to see that my portrayal, while not without its canon divergencies here and there and with all the background I established for him that I’m sure M.ihoyo could blow out pretty quickly, is this likeable. It’s been a really long time since the last time I felt this comfortable with a muse that isn’t the first one I picked and I’m aware of all the work and effort I’m putting on Dain particularly with headcanons, studies and looking for references. Since I started doing this I had the mentality of “these will do me good for my portrayal, it doesn’t matter if others don’t read it”, so knowing that they’re not only read, but that they’re also enjoyable is really gladdening to me. Thank you so much for your kind words ♥︎
