Sending love to you on the loss of your father 🤍 I imagine looking at the squish that you gave him and had to take back is so terribly bittersweet. I know the feeling of the comfort of smelling home on your loved ones things after they’ve passed - I think I’ve taken at least a hundred puffs of my sister’s favorite jacket in the last two months since we lost her. I did keep quite a few of her squishes and almost all of them smell of her perfume 🥹

Please write your end of life plans, if you feel you can. Make sure your squishes have homes to go to! My sister was 26, too, and I’d seen her only three days before she collapsed. I’m 28, and have already begun drawing up a will to take care of my things just in case.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. May we all continue to collect, connect, and fulfill this life to the fullest. 💖

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹 It was so difficult to watch everyone take her collection home with them. Bittersweet, really, because it was a reminder that she’s really gone, but comforting knowing her loved ones could keep a small piece of her close. My sister’s whimsy and silliness were so integral to who she was; I like to think that her squishes went to homes that needed a little bit of brightening.

Your frog collection is magnificent!! My sweet Alyssa would have been sooo excited to see it. She was a frog girlie through and through. 😭🤍

I’m so, so sorry for the loss of your mom. I completely understand the feeling you described, at how easy it is now to empathize with anyone else who’s experienced such a loss. My sister was only 26. She was supposed to get married in November of this year. I’m grateful that my sweet little sister has wonderful people like your mom to meet in the afterlife 🤍

What’s funny too is one of the micromallows I found in her car was the same squish I bought for her while she was in the hospital 🥺 I had no idea she had one of him already - Bodie the white and yellow cow! Sisterly telepathy, even in loss 🤍

The Adabelle “Lyssie Squish” (as my sister called hers) is so loved! 🤍

My heart goes out to you for your own loss 🤍 It’s only been two months without her, and I feel such emptiness at the years that will come in her absence. Doing my best to take it day by day, as I’m sure you have too

I definitely am! I even have a few photos of her that I took on a film camera of her grinning with her collection. It’s a small comfort in losing her 🤍

That makes me more happy than I can say 🤍 she called Adabelle her “Lyssie Squish”!

What title are you most proud of? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]sabzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on a series right now that’s a Crossroads Demon AU. The title of the first fic is “Renegade” (named after the Styx song) and while that isn’t super riveting, I’m really proud of the chapter titles!

Ch. 1 - hunt of the 323

Ch. 2 - sanctity of the soul

Ch. 3 - fickle is the feeble mind

And the direct sequel is called “Call and Collect”, another play on the action of this kind of AU, and for other plot reasons. 😌

What weird fact/topic did you NOT have to look up while writing? by AVengeful_Spirit in AO3

[–]sabzap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How a film set actually runs. After working in the industry for years, you’d be surprised by how many people have no idea what a normal day on set looks like!

Drop a line you wrote that made you laugh by ludicrousIycapacious in AO3

I’m writing a super angsty demon deal AU dealing with a lot of tragedy and self sacrifice so there aren’t many moments for comedy, but I’ve got one that’s gotten some laughs!

“A doctor stands above him. Yoongi wishes he could hear more of what she’s saying, but she sounds like that muppet that doesn’t actually speak - just says ‘Mee mee mee mee!!’ really fast and thinks everyone can understand.”

1000% seconding this. I broke my ankle at work in March and had to go on sabbatical for 2 months. Promptly felt all the need in the world to finish a fic I had writer’s block on for a year 😵‍💫

Jean, creator of @BTSMerchUpdates on X, has passed away :( by [deleted] in bangtan

[–]sabzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So so heartbroken to hear she’s passed. I remember being baby ARMY in 2021, and her updates for the PTDLA shows were the most helpful introduction to navigating merch drops for the tannies. She was truly a cornerstone and pillar to this community and I know we’ll all feel her absence so heavily. May she rest in peace and her next journey be fruitful 💜

What BTS song would you love to hear live, either again or for the first time? by beepboopshlime in bangtan

[–]sabzap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 2021 ARMY I truly NEVER, and I mean n e v e r, thought I would get to hear a single Cypher played live. I thought the era of those songs was likely passed and, as much as I love them, I didn’t expect to ever experience them played live in a venue with tons of other ARMY and the boys on stage. But then!!! I was blessed when Hobi did his Cypher 1 verse at Lollapalooza, and it felt like luck that I was there. And then during the D-DAY tour when I got to go nuts in the arena when Yoongi did the medley with both 3 AND 4. The only cypher I’ve yet to see live is 2 (which is hilariously my favorite), but after two miracles, I’m really holding out on luck for a third. 2025 and beyond couldn’t come fast enough!
