"And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck
Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk
And it may be a few years, but you can bet it's there, waiting still
For me to be left alone in a room with the things that l've done"
#john laurens#jemmy laurens#OUGHHHHGH THEM.........#gosh they still hurt me deeply#this is beautiful :(

Hi Del!! I know this blog isn’t as active anymore, and that’s perfectly okay, but I just thought I’d pop into your inbox just to say a quick thank you :)) I heard a song this morning that took my brain back into a John Laurens Space - and even though so much in my life has changed since that was a major interest of mine, it bought up an oddly sentimental, nostalgic feeling. It was really lovely. And your art definitely contributed to that, so much. Your creativity really is unique to so much of the art I’ve seen on tumblr, it feels so weird to say, but it’s like you’re able to capture the essence of a person and period of time just with some colours and lines. It’s like magic. I sound like a rambling fangirl haha, but I hope that you’re doing well and life is treating you kindly, you deserve good things :))
OH :(( im a very emotional person and when it comes to messages like these i cant help but get really teary - thank you so much my friend for the sweetest-est words!!! i know this is a very old ask and im really sorry to see this & answer it so late, but i hope you know that im absolutely grateful about this lovely message, and it warms my heart inmensely, you have no idea <3 it always feels so sweet to be remembered and knowing that i could inspire people throughout my art, as someone who has been doubting themselves and having lots of blockage in regards to art lately. i hope you can get this answer and see that from the bottom of my heart, i thank you too <33
#ask#this is so beautiful you have no idea how much it meant to me#im gonna be thinking about this ask for a long time.......#hope life has been treating you kindly too <3 you deserve it!!#AND AAAA NOW IM REALLY CURIOUS TO KNOW which song it was?? 👀 its been a long time and im sorry waaaa i hope you remember it!!!

Okay insane timing of your return because I'm reading Massey's John Laurens and The American Revolution and I'm so mad he sidelines all the other Laurkids and you're like the only other person who is as insane about them as I am
OH THATS CRAZY TIMING INDEED! - we have been telepathically connecting through time and distance, you called me back JSHDJD 😭 ARGHHH YEAH THE MASSEY BIOGRAPHY - YOU GET IT YES!!! justice for the laukids, i wish there was more about them ohhhguughh
#lets be insane about them again i forgot how much i loved them#the laukids experience is being insane and just treasuring every single little thing we find no matter how small😭#its been years and im still haunted by the fact that nelly had a portrait and (i think?) didn't survive to our days if I remember correctly#and many other facts that I can't remember from the top of my head rn#but YEAH lets just go insane together!! im with you!! im ready to unrust myself and get back on track lmao#ask

OMG DEL IT’S BEEN SO LONG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I thought you were gone forever, homie 🥺
AHHHHH HELLO FRIEND OMG!!! ITS BEEN SO LONG INDEED 😭 this last year/year and a half? has gone by so so fast its been ages since i've been here and i missed it a lot 🥺 life got in the way and i forgot how happy i've been on here, the nostalgia was so strong remembering how much I loved drawing the laukids and sharing it with you all :"")) it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and im happy to be back <3
#ask#i have to confess i don't know why i was feeling quite anxious to return!#I imagined myself just awkwardly peeking from a corner and being like.... hellooooo do u remember.... the laukids dude.... *waves nervously#SKJDKSFJS NO BUT SERIOUSLY#but i just... seeing how happy and excited I was to draw and share things with you just hit me in the feels#its been so long and not much at the same time#i forgot the warmth this little corner gave me and how much warmth those little 18th century children gave to my life 🥺#they are very very dear to me and will always be. they marked a huge part of my life and my art development and will be forever happy <3#uni and life blocked me a lot in terms of making art#and returning to this blog made me remember and reconnect with that part of me that loved making art and sharing things with ppl <3#so many feelings together omg im sorry. im just nostalgic and fuzzy#how have you been?? hope you've been good during these times <3
