Hey happy birthday. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and art. I think about them a lot. They also helped me process a lot. And reflect. You have very tangibly affected me and how I interact with the world. Thank you, and congrats on making it this far 🎂

Ah thank you... this is really sweet and made me very happy ; w ; I can't answer all the other birthday asks I got coz there's too many, but I really appreciate all the well wishes received. Thank you.

[dekarios]

its very easy to forget that theres people in the world who are genuinely so kind, and are full of love and want to help, that generous souls who will put themselves out to be supportive really do exist......

we see so much doomer shit about scams, and hate and really just evil shit yknow. all the fucking time. it's so rare to see good stuff that helps reaffirm a sort of, belief in humanity if you will. if you get what i mean

and it's only when you experience it or see it up close that you remember like yeah. there's seriously people out there who will just help you because you need help, without wanting a thing in return. and it's just. holy fuck man. it really ain't all bad

[memyselfandtheemperor]

Your comics made my day, thank you very much✨✨✨

I haven't been laughing like that for ages

I adore your art style. You are really cool🌸

*sends lots of love*

Hey thank you so much for the kind words!! It means a lot to hear that, since initially I was doubtful about sharing any of them because I feared the humor was too weird ahaha.

*Love recieved* :D

And sorry for taking so long to answer! Here is a bonus gif, that was for a battlefront video that never happened…basically all the gifs shared so far are from that XD

[min-play]

Just saw your cosplay vid and it was rlly cool! I saw you mention that you were considering doing a tutorial vid for it and I’m excited for that so I can make something similar for my sona!

Thank you so much! It's a slow progress but the tutorial/process vid is getting there. Really keen to see what other people make!

[solarmorrigan]

hey, do you remember the crochet steddie fanfic you posted about a yearish ago? that fic inspired me to learn how to crochet. the way you describe the process of choosing the yarns and the hooks and everything was really intriguing to me, so i ordered some yarn and stuff, then googled some tutorials.

anyway, im hooked(pun intended) now, and ive made so many awesome things(just finished a blanket!). you are an amazing writer and i am always so excited to read something you wrote, even if i don't know what it's about.

hope you have a nice day. :)

This is genuinely one of the most wonderful things someone has ever said in relation to something I've written and I am still not over it

Seriously, thank you very much for sending this <3

And also: that's so cool?? You had an interest and you tried it and you taught yourself a whole fucking skill and you made a blanket! (Among other things!) I hope you know how cool it is that you did that!

[shoshiwrites]

soooo is jo going back to joe or do we think this jo/egan situation is permanent? :D

ghfjkdghkdsfghfdksg listen joe has been looking at me like he's wondering where to hide a body (mine) since this started but believe me, it is not permanent. not in any kind of replacement sense at least. rather, it is now two universes in my mind🙏 jo/joe is still "main fic" and jo/egan is .... still an AU but a very involved one lol, and one that's not going away any time soon (bucky: yeah not if i have anything to say about it)

[mollymurakami]

if you don’t mind me asking, what kind of programs & brushes do you use?

of course! these days i'm working primarily in procreate on my ipad and i am partial to the dry inker, 6b pencil, and shale brush (under calligraphy, i think) for drawing/lining. i've also been using baskerville and mercury inkers for coloring and dabbling in using them for line art, too :)

in photoshop i love kyle t. webster's mr. natural inker and just his whole catalog, really (if you're a pshop subscriber you can download most of these for free, but also ik adobe is the pits). my goal for the next year or so is to learn clip, bc i know that's a more sustainable/affordable program that has a lot of good tools if you know how to use them.

hope this is helpful!

[galedekarios]

just wanted you to know i love your gale gifs so much 😭💜 theyre so pretty!!! the coloring!! the composition!!!! the crispiness!!!! i love your art!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

thank you so much! 🖤

oooh the last two anon replies got me fired up so here's my manifesto i guess.

the universal hating on lin manuel miranda comes down to a few factors that most of the time have nothing to do with his actual mistakes:

their cringe history is reflected in him and they can't deal with it. let it be known that it is not lin who created miku binder jefferson. that was entirely a monster of our making. and somehow, his enthusiasm and willingness to interact with fan content (i remember everyone loving him for it) is worthy of punishment in relation.

he's an easy scapegoat to dump criticism on because people already feel so comfortable speaking on him. like you said, it's crazy that people will paint out lin manuel miranda, the guy who changed broadway and did so much for POC roles, to be the big baddie. he's made mistakes, and there's a lot we can discuss about hamilton's legacy, etc., but damn. where's this energy for everyone else? is it a case of "he actually tried, therefore we have material to latch onto and tear down?"

a lot of what he does is successful and in the public eye! it's crazy but i see people going "why is lin manuel miranda in everything" about projects from the 2000s, like yeahh he didn't just make hamilton and then disappear for your own convenience. if anything it's a statement about how a lot of his work, like it or not, is remembered over time. the reaction to him being in percy jackson was crazy to me because i KNOW for a fact that you did not see his dark materials or tick tick boom; at most you know him from moana and hamilton. and then complaining that he "threatened disney to be in everything they do" smh.

he's not your typical white boy of the month. this might be a loaded statement but sue me, i think it's true. POC celebrities have a limited amount of time in the sun compared to white celebrities. a white actor having multiple roles in a year is okay, and it means they're a hard worker. but when it's a POC actor, their presence is conspicuous. their presence becomes bothersome. public goodwill dries up so much faster. even pedro pascal, i feel, has been talked about with eye-rolls recently. i read a very interesting paper about this.

it's fun! the internet's chosen him as their punching bag, and there are no consequences to online hating if everyone else agrees. i bet a lot of people think they're just joking.

and all of this makes it such that if they do find out about some of his actual mistakes, it's a relief. i legitimately saw a tiktok comment section filled with bashing, and someone said "this is so hilarious but kinda mean, the guy didn't do anything" and someone said with "actually he did this this and this" and they replied "oh thank god, i don't feel bad now!" so it's not "oh let's see if this person improved" it's "phew! i have a legitimate reason to continue what i've been doing all along!"

it's crazy because i'm not even a lmm fan necessarily. i've just been in the musical community for years and noticed all of this happening surrounding his very popular work. you all will rue the day! 10 yrs later or so people are going to start making those "he deserved better" posts but i will not forgive or forget.

i don't know if you want me to respond to every single thing you wrote here, but i appreciate the message, especially when it comes from someone who's not really a fan - it only shows me that it's possible not to be in the fandom & still be respectful.

don't even get me started on miku binder jefferson, it's probably the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen in my life. also, one thing i need to point out is that NOT EVERYONE in this fandom is like that, & i think i'm a perfect example of a person who just enjoys lin's art & likes talking about it & analizing things, but not enjoying all those weird cringe things that were created by the fandom (like the one you mentioned), so like... maybe a certain part of the fandom was the problem, not the creator of the thing? i have nothing against fanfiction in general, nothing against fanarts but like... some people are ruining the thing cause it's just too much. like the famous lmm cannibal mermaid fanfiction, come on guys, be serious, what the actual fuck???

i also agree with the percy jackson thing, i remember seeing all the hate even before the episode with him dropped & honestly i couldn't stand it, the pjo fandom ruined all the fun for me & i literally had to block pjo tag lol. then the episode was out & everyone was suddenly like OH, HE WAS ACTUALLY GOOD, well guess what bitch, i've been saying this all the time, he is actually a good actor & you are just a miserable hater. this fandom is toxic as fuck. also, you think he's everywhere? i do know a lot of other celebrities who actually ARE everywhere these days & somehow no one is sick of them??? so maybe people really are just racists. also, this is literally his job lol what do you expect him to do, disappear forever?

i will not forgive or forget either. like i said before, i'm aware that he made some mistakes, it's not like he didn't apologize for some of them, also he's not perfect, but no one is. all i'm trying to say is that there are more problematic people but somehow everyone feels the need to hate on him. you picked the wrong guy, just let him be.

[misc-obeyme]

i'm not really good at these type of reactions but i'm sure if barbatos met you, he would've liked you. you give these positive energy/vibes that make people feel closer and safe around you you're writing and your answers says it all i've been satisfied with you're answers, opinions, thoughts, headcanons as well. you're respecftul even when others aren't to you which shows you're mature at least that's the impression you have given me. btw barbatos is my favourite too and usually when i play the game i just want his attention i literally play the game for him and only his opinion and thoughts on me matter. actually in general the demon brothers love mc because of their attraction aura and it looks like some of us really have that in real life and one of them is you. (sorry for my english)

Dearest anon. I read through this ask multiple times because it left me so speechless. It took me a minute, but I'm nothing if not a writer, so the words finally came.

Thank you so much, this really means a lot to me. If I'm being honest, I don't really have a very high opinion of myself. But I know that my own perception is not accurate because I'm me. So I have to rely on other people's opinions. And if you think Barbatos would like me if he was real, well, that just fills me with so much happiness.

I really try to be as welcoming and accepting as possible, here on the blog and irl. I want to be a safe space for people. I'm really glad that's coming through in my writing and answers to asks and things because sometimes it's hard to read tone on the internet lol.

I dunno about mature, but I am kinda old, so there's that. I personally would rather joke around than get upset about people being weird to me. I haven't had much of that on here, thankfully!

I also have that reaction when playing the game! I'll be going along, enjoying the story and stuff, but then Barbatos shows up and I lose my cool instantly lol. I always get so excited when he makes an appearance, even if it's brief!

It's really hard for me to accept such nice compliments. I love the idea that I have an attraction aura, but I'm not capable of seeing it myself. Still, I'm going to take your word for it, anon! It makes me feel so happy to know that people feel that way just from the things I post here. I think of my writing as little pieces of my soul because I put so much of myself into it, so it's wonderful to hear that some of that gets through to others!

Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words! This ask made me so happy (even if I also cried a little, but that's normal for me lol). Also your English is excellent so no need to apologize for it! I appreciate you taking the time to write this to me! 💕💕

[dirtychainsawconfessions]

[furiousgoldfish]

happy birthday!!! I hope you have a good day!

I was wondering if you would be willing to discuss what a healthy amount of isolation is - if any, that you're aware of? If you don't want to do that today that's totally okay and I understand, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot.

My parents never let me leave the house. I've never been on a walk by myself, or to the store, or...like, anything that wasn't an appointment, I always have to go with one of my siblings or my parents. I have to tell my parents where I'm going if I use the car, and they have to approve of where I am going. I was homeschooled, and I wasn't ever given the opportunity to make friends outside of church because my parents had no interest in enrolling me in anything, but they get really angry that I don't have any friends anyway, and insist that our stay-at-home lifestyle is healthy and normal.

Like - okay, when lockdown happened during covid, I had to make no adjustments to it because I literally never left the house anyway.

Is this normal and/or healthy? It doesn't really feel healthy, but it also feels like I'm being dramatic. Like don't most kids /want/ this?

This is not just isolation anon, it's confinement. You are being confined and held prisoner to your parent's allowances and wishes. You're obviously an adult if you can use the car, so there's absolutely no way your human rights are being respected here. You should be allowed to go anywhere, anytime, whenever you want, for any reason you want. What you're describing is confinement and abuse, isolation is only a side-effect (altho I am sure that your parents do want you to stay as isolated from any support as possible).

What you're describing is making me believe you might have been raised in a cult. The home-schooling, limit on making friends, not being allowed to make friends of another religion or beliefs, not being allowed to go out alone, always being watched and controlled by someone, that is extremely far out of the normal, and all of these are red flags of cults. I encourage you to research cults (if anyone has a good link with all of the red flags of cults, please put it on this post, I'm googling and I can't find any good resource right now) and to check if many other things click.

Even if its not a cult, something is deeply wrong here, because you are not being allowed your basic human freedom to come and go. There is no healthy amount of being isolated by other people, on purpose, to keep you from gathering knowledge, friends, experiences and options. These people are making sure you can't leave, that you can't go anywhere without being tracked - meaning they know you have a good reason to leave, and that you will want to leave.

You are not being dramatic, this is very far out of normal. Whatever 'healthy' isolation might be, it would be when you alone decide to stay on your own, not when someone else confines you and forces rules upon you about where you're allowed to go and whether you're allowed to be in anyone's company.

I managed to find this link, about cult-type control, see if this is useful to you and if you relate to the items on these lists.
