So in honor of it being pride month, I thought I’d mention, for anyone who didn’t already know, that there is an official Frog and Toad cartoon and it’s one of the most faithful book to tv renditions I’ve seen. It’s beautiful and the theme song is the most wholesome gay shit I’ve ever heard. Also, the head writer said that he wasn’t interested in removing the gay interpretation of the show. They’re never canonically together, but they’re basically Aziraphale and Crowley season 1, so overtly queerplatonic at minimum. Anyway, have a great pride month, go out of your way to learn something new about queer history, and if you go to pride parades, make sure to pack all of your essentials like water, sunscreen, and snacks!

Every time THL updates I scream and open wattpad after it’s been laying dead for months i literally only have this app for this story somebody sedate me

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a hot minute, but I’m finally back to working on THL and I might have a chapter up tomorrow or Tuesday. It’s an Ezra and Grant chapter and it’s one I’ve been thinking about writing for about a year now. Hopefully I will get back to writing more regularly soon, but either way, I wanted to update everyone. Hope you’re all having a good Labor Day weekend if you celebrate and remember to stay hydrated!

Hey everyone, so there's something I've been thinking about for a while now and haven't brought up because I hadn't made a decision on it, but now that I have, I just wanted to make a quick announcement. When I started writing books on here, I was significantly younger than the vast majority of my characters, but after years, I've grown and my characters haven't really. I guess now that I'm out of my teens and in college, I've stopped wanting to write about teenagers so much. Just to be clear, I am still continuing THL, but I don't feel comfortable writing smut about teenagers anymore. As of right now, I won't be editing older content to take it out, but going forward, it won't be included in the second THL book. Sex scenes will be alluded to, but there will not be graphic descriptive scenes of it because I feel like I'm just past the age for writing that. That being said, I am not policing anyone else's reading or writing preferences, I understand these are all fictional characters and also that teenagers, especially older teenagers, do have sex and that's fine as long as it's safe and consensual, I just don't want to write that into my stories. It's also not like I'll never write smut again, I still have plans for books about adults, but after THL, I will likely be pivoting away from stories that take place in high school. Anyway, thanks for sticking by me and I hope to get you guys more updates in the future. Stay hydrated and I'll see you soon!

Please never quit writing, I'm inlove with your books so much with all my heart and soul 

I swear, nothing compares to the feeling of finally finding the perfect ending for a chapter. Chapter 4 of THL2 should be coming out tonight or tomorrow sometime, I just need to finalize some things. Also I just wanted to take a second to appreciate the people who are sticking with me through the second book. I know it’s really slow right now, but I want to make sure that every chapter is the best it can be. Hopefully at some point I’ll be able to put them out faster again, but for now, this is kind of where we’re at. Anyway, have a great day or night and I’ll see you all soon!

(Embarassingly slides in here) Heyyyy Cactus. If I had thought of this before, I would've commented it. Anyway. Do you have a playlist for To Have Loved that you can share? I listen to indie music but not the kind that is showcased in THL and I like to try all kinds of music. I want to see if I like it or not.

Is it crazy that I want so badly to jump into THL 2 just to be that one really annoying friend to Elias that never leaves him alone and slowly convinces him that it’s okay to choose himself 
          
          also: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i love THL 1 & 2 so much. I relate to Kaden SO MUCH and I love their stupid little friendship and whatever they’re having in 2 

Hey so random request, but if anyone who's read any of Pixie's books could give me some recs for stories by other authors that feel similar to their style, I'd be forever grateful. I've been searching, but it's hard to find something that hits that particular spot for me. Pretty much all of their books are just so beautifully melancholic and I really miss that. Alternatively, I could just reread The Treehouse and sob.

I was going to put this on a comment you replied on, but decided it would be more effective here. I enjoy your books and personality so much because you seem like such an invested person in learning and making sure you know what you're talking about. Your writing style is so fluid and heavenly. You're so poetic and I love that. Your writing is one of the reasons I became so obssessed with grammatical correctedness in my everyday writing. Your writing gives me inspiration to write poetry. You seem like such an opinionated and blunt person that let's people know what you think. As a highly opinionated person who sometimes thinks my opinions are too much, I look up to you. You're such an awesome sausome person and I dearly hope you obtain all that you want in life.
