I ocassionally remember how my brother told me how I should talk to people irl more than online, and while that's sound advice and all, I can't help but be pissed at the fact that he was downplaying online friends. I feel like I could talk about anything I want with no fear or judgement to my online friends, genuinely they warm my heart 🥺 which contrasts the way I have to walk on eggshells all the time irl.
I have never talked about my parents issues with my uni best friend for example bc I know I'll get the reply "but they're you're parents" (I love and appreciate her sm but you know, definitely can't talk to her about just any personal issues I have) and like I KNOW people irl, its not like I don't talk to anyone, but its very very hard to talk about personal issues with them, when I know the kind of replies I'll get. Not having my online friends would literally be a death sentence... I don't know, just remembering him say "what use are online friends" from a year ago still ticks me off. First of all "use" and friends don't go together 😒. Friends are friends.
Just a lil positive post, I think one of the positives of being more active here and Twitter is engaging with fandom stuff again which is always fun!! I love seeing both the Slow Damage posts and Touchstarved posts recently, they feel like smaller communities but something about it warms my heart. I did not think anything positive ever would come out of Twitter but here I am I guess xD
Oh goodness, thank you sm for drawing a shibari piece again <3
Some of my favorite pieces from you are the old shibari pieces you drew years ago, especially the one where the dude is inside the big syringe. They just have such a chill and comfy (yet melancholic) vibe that I haven't found from anyone else and I go back to look at them every once in a while. 😅
Funny that I stumbled onto your blog just now and the first piece I saw was exactly what I came for `xD (even though it's not what you mostly draw and i also don't expect it!)
Anyway, love your art, it's so beautiful and whimsical <3
Ahhh np glad you liked them 🥺 they're still some of my favourite pieces I did as well haha, I love drawing shibari, but I just don't get ideas that often.
Funnily enough, I got the idea for my latest piece when I shared these old drawings on Discord a week ago after a friend asked for them and then I went you know what I haven't drawn it in a while, then remembered what Leander said and jokingly told my other friend "I got an idea" xD
