Whether you write fanfic or original works or paint/draw, be it fan art or original work or whatever else - I have to know, because I have a feeling this is going to be very decisive:
jen mazza, peripety // rune lazuli // na // bones and all // helene cixous, the love of the wolf // tanaka mhishi, literary sexts II // the amazing devil, that unwanted animal // jen mazza, peripety
It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.
give yourself permission to be sad about loss. even if it was expected. even if it was easy to predict. even if it is for the better. loss is loss and it meant something to you to have it, otherwise it wouldn't affect you to lose it. be kind to yourself and patient with your feelings and needs.
