Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.
I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.
2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)
3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited
Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.
Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).
Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.
Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

hey. Many positive posts say it’s okay to cry. Remind people that crying is okay and normal and not be ashamed of. This very true and important!!
but equally true and important that people who naturally don’t cry know it okay. Even something big like death of loved one or break up or other big disappointment, loss. If you don’t feel like crying there’s nothing wrong with you. Or if feel like crying but body just can’t, that okay also. Or if make big noises but not tears. As long as healthy process feelings and not suppress, outward expression or lack of okay!
society have very narrow framework expectations for what ‘acceptable’ displays of emotion. Support and affirm people who fall outside this on both sides.

One more thing before I pass out. A little thing to make selfshippers like me happy, this could be either you or your f/o in this little scenario!!
Imagine your romantic f/o tearing up a bit or full on sobbing as they cuddle you into their arms, thinking how lucky and grateful to have you. They haven't felt this kind of simple love in so long or ever, and they're experiencing this with the person they love so much. Warm tears stain the pillow as they look at you, the person that they'll be with for what seems like forever.
Your f/o loves you so much and the fact they haven't experienced this kind of love sooner in their life is criminal to them. You mean so much to them as much as they mean so much to you. Your warm love and support for them, your voice and how gentle it is to their ears, the way your eyes softens each time you seem them, everything. Whether they're holding you or you're holding them, they feel so safe with you especially right before slumber.
Your f/O loves you and can never be more thankful to have you. <3

I’m sorry the people around you think you’re weak for crying. Bodies are designed to release stress through tears. The fact that so many were taught to suppress their body’s functioning isn’t on you.
Be brave.
Rebel.
Cry.

“Alfred Date learned how to knit in 1932.
In 2015, at 109 he created tiny clothes for Phillip Island Penguins who needed woolen jumpers in the wake of the oil spill to help prevent penguins from swallowing the oil when they attempted to clean themselves.
Alfred ‘Alfie’ Date passed away in 2016 at 110 years old.”
