My submissions for @dariusowlhouseweek Day 9: Free Draw. I figured it'd be fun to do some of my "Artist's Renditions" (read: stick figures, because that's all I can draw lol) of my fics from the past week.
These are from Days 1-4; tomorrow I'll upload the ones for Days 5-8.

I don’t think I have ever talked about it on here, but this scene really means so much to me. I can’t express how relatable this scene is for many ND people, including me. Watching this has me realize that really all I have ever wanted was to be understood by other people, especially my parents.
Luz has grown up always being seeing as “weird” and “different” by her peers and teachers alike. She was always told that she must change those parts of herself to be able to fit in. Camila also pushes those ideas on her, albeit with good intentions, because she doesn’t want her to suffer the way she did.
Many of us experienced this, where our parents and loved ones pushed us to conform and be “normal” for own own good. And while i really appreciate that my parents want what’s best for me, all I really want them to do is to listen to me and try to understand where I am coming from. So it means a LOT to see this struggle represented in tv and to see Luz get what she has always wanted and what many of us desperately want: acceptance and understanding
