on a more serious note, huge huge thanks to the_muppet who organizes (or rather, organized) this whole thing, to beth, mims, aino and everyone else who's had to endure me for the past few months, and most importantly to my beta, kay, and my artist, mathilde; kay, you are the light of my life i swear, thank you for existing; mathilde, you've been the most amazing to work with and your art is adorable (and everyone should
see it), and i'm so happy to have worked with you and i'm sorry i'm absolute shit at time management
