until dawn parallels → 1/?
love realising upon my hundredth until dawn rewatch that there is no "subtext" between jossam, it's literally just text. it is plain text. it is in your face about it. there are so many parallels between jossam and chris/ashley that it's ridiculous, they're quite literally knocking you over the head with it. sam's "they are very sweet together, i just wish they'd get on with it already" and josh's "they need a traumatic event to send them into each other's arms" is so obviously meant to mirror josh and sam, it's not just about chris and ashley. it's so clear to me that they're also talking about themselves, josh and sam aren't really aware of this - but the game is, the writing is. even down to the way they close others off from trying to weasel their way in their heads (i'll be your mirror).
josh says, "you notice how i gave chris and ash a mission together? i was thinking they could use some alone time." while josh and sam are the ones alone together is not lost on me, and of course when josh brings up the fact that sam came back to the lodge, this is their alone moment (of course, before everything else he's got planned) but he needed his moment to talk to her like that, one on one, to specifically thank her. the game is quite literally rubbing it in your face that these two have something together. hence "i thought we had a connection" at the very end of it all.
jossam is canon and the game says so too thank you & goodnight!
Thinking about this trio 🙃
it's a late thursday night in 2024 and i find myself reading "full bleed" again. i've read the first chapter so many times that i've almost commit it to memory. i first read it when you first posted it around 2016(?) iirc and oh my god it blows me away every time. you perfectly characterise nathan and victoria's relationship as not quite friends, not quite lovers, some suspended state in between. it's so shocking to me how a piece of writing can impact me so wholly. forgive me for sounding obsessive but you write in such a beautiful way that your prose has weaved its way into my own works (i do not write fics, unfortunately - i am a college student who has a minor in literature) and every time i read my own content back it feels like a reflection of your writing. a reflection of a life is strange fanfiction from years ago. it sounds so simple and silly when its phrased that way, but your writing has inspired me so much. it's evoked such a visceral emotional response in me that i have only ever felt a handful of other times when reading (it's also the only fanfiction i have in my list of all time favourite books!) i wish i could express how much gratitude i have for you for writing something so meaningful and with so much passion and heart that it's impacted me until now, something more than five years later. thank you so SO much 🤍
This is from two months ago, and I'm so sorry I didn't see it before then! This is so kind of you, anon 😭🥹 Thank you so much. It's a fic that I'm really proud of, and although it's for such a niche pairing, just knowing that there's just a tiny handful of people out there who feel an attachment to it makes the time I spent on it totally worth it 🖤 I think I put myself into a lot of my writing, but I put more of myself than usual into that one. It was a story that was really cathartic to tell.
You have no idea how appreciative I am of these sentiments you have shared with me. I'm so happy that it's touched you in a way that is so meaningful 😭😭 Thank you, and I hope you are thriving as a writer 🖤
timebomb !
Two lovers entwined pass me by

ugh YES so cute
thinking about this jossam idea i want to write about
basically it's a party the group is having, mostly everyone is either drunk, high, or both. and they're like playing truth or dare or wtv and josh just ask truth or dare (she picks dare) adn he picks one of those stupid dares like "oh sit in my lap blabhlahblah" but the whole time they just yap to eachother and lowkey fall asleep like that
