AAAHHH OMG this is the best! Maniacal Mimi the Monkey, one of my favorite episodes! I can't get over how spoiled I am in this fandom! I request an illustration and you draw it for me! (And I request a book and

cahn buys it for me and

selenak reads it for me, lol.)

One little thing that's totally my fault: that quote "It seems to me that in her place, even with all my reason, I could not have reasoned better, and I would have done the exact same thing," was actually *from* Suhm *to* Fritz. When I first encountered it, I misinterpreted it as from Fritz and reported it as such, and when I realized Suhm had written it, it was too late to edit the original comment, but Rheinsberg has the correct attribution. I thought that was touching in a different way, because Suhm is apparently saying he would have burned the fruits of his own labor if Fritz was ignoring him to read them, because Fritz means more. <33

It's also worth reminding

cahn that it was just a copy of Suhm's work that got burned, not the original, which I suspect is why everyone (except the guy who had to recopy it) was able to be so good-humored about it.

Thank you and keep the drawings coming as long as you're having fun, we love them to bits and pieces! <333

ETA: Oh, and the "Burn After Reading" title is GREEEAAT. :D

ahahahah thank you, yes, it is always worth reminding me because odds are I have forgotten :PP (as was the case here) :)

Thanks for the correction, I fixed it right away :D

I'm glad you're enjoying my work! I'll definitely make more!
I have some rather clear ideas that would look pretty cool (the widow, the visualization of why Achilles come down is in my playlist, and the Antinous statue, aka "Katte Galore"), but I can't quite figure out the perspectives and poses for those and since I can't meet up with my friends and force them to help me with references, I'll take a while to actually create those . I spent most of my time writing crack fanfiction, but I did create another two very cursed looking images of Heinrich as a present to a friend, but I have not posted them anywhere and I'm not sure I will. I have a reputation to lose :'D

Speaking of Heinrich: My boss gifted me oil paint for filling in on short notice, so I have another new medium to try and thus another portrait to copy. Maybe Heinrich...? I've only ever drawn him in a joking manner before, so this will be interesting :'D Hopefully I'll be able to stop myself from making his wig look too cartoonish.

This all sounds greeeeat! Best of luck with all your projects, and I'm sure they'll cooperate at some point.

I spent most of my time writing crack fanfiction

I saw! I squeed over the tags: Fritz, Katte, Peter Keith, modern AU, and road trip, all my very favorite things! I've skipped around and read bits and pieces, and laughed and "awwwed" my head off, but I'm going to have to hold off on reading it properly and reviewing it until Yuletide lets up and I have a chance to focus on German practice. But I will!
