Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow
hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.
like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.
anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

Not sure if you really do asks but I wanted to know; how you do your little comics?
They’re so high quality, with the painterly style and all, and you seem to make so many of them!
my ask policy is i'd like to do em better but generally if i dont reply instantly or have an easy answer i'll let them gather dust in the box and fail to ever get to it
luckily for this one i have an easy way out since i can just point you to the post i made on that a while ago which is pretty much entirely still valid

i don't know how to be merely acquaintances when we used to be friends. or i think we used to be. i don't know how to yearn for a simple hello when you've been heaping your affection on me months ago, and i don't know how to talk to you when you won't say anything. when suddenly it's all about me. you know i have nothing to say, you know my brain is void of everything but horribleness and i cannot tell you about my day because i don't even know about my day. i cannot tell you about my day when i know you won't listen, when i know you'll apply your philosophy to my world and don't believe me when i say that everything is terrible. i don't know how to be the person you seem to think i am, or the person you want in your life. i don't know if you want anyone else in your life now that you're in love and sappy, found another recipient for your affections, leaving me empty and wounded and yearning.
you said you missed me. said it many times, while i was gone. now i'm back, have been back, and i wonder how you missed me, why you missed me, when you won't talk to me. i think you mistook missing for worrying. i think you mistook caring for a feeling of obligation. i think you like missing me more than talking to me.
and i think i can't breathe with how much that hurts

I love all the amazing outfits you've dreamt up for Katara in your art.
My question is, do you imagine that post-war Katara is super into designing and/or making her own banging outfits, or is there a cohort other folks that are ensuring that their hero is as well dressed as possible?
thank you i love drawing her in cute outfits it is like therapy to me. and oooh what a fun question!! we know that katara is a capable seamstress (yet another parallel to zuko lol) and that she loves fashion, so i definitely think that katara would buy all sorts of fabrics to design/sew/make her own clothes with, but also that she would receive a lot of gifts, some to her taste, and some that she sees fit to hand off to suki or zuko instead. i made a post in the past that was about how toph would foist all her fancy clothes onto katara, which proves symbiotic for both of them (it's a shame that i legally cannot draw toph in her adorable tang dynasty hanfu because i do really love that style, but my workaround to that particular quandary is simply by drawing other characters in a cute tang dynasty hanfu instead).
i do like the idea of katara having a team of professional stylists, just because it is truly what she deserves, and i think that she would enjoy being evaluated by the firelord's official tailors who take her measurements once and then proceed to send her a new wardrobe every season, but she herself would not consider it necessary or even feasible to hire a professional team. she's not royalty after all, nor is she the kind of wealthy earth kingdom family that prioritizes such matters, either. no, in truth, her personal team of stylists consist primarily of herself, her doting gran gran, and aang, who often makes her jewelry, such as friendship bracelets and funky earrings. but one of katara's core precepts is the importance of looking cute on a budget, so it truly is a testament to her ability to serve looks no matter the occasion that she can really just pick any old thing out of her closet and still manages to be an absolute fashion icon.

Hello, thirsty anon again. Were these tweets from the bee fandom? I hope not. I've been in the bee fandom for a very long time at this point and I can assure you the overwhelming majority of us are thirsty hoes. We will never complain about too much smut.
But more importantly, please write and publish what YOU want! Do not let a bunch of perpetually online twitter teens or ao3 trolls or even tumblr randos like me dictate what you write
Yes it was 🥲 I've rarely read fics for other fandoms so a lot of the backhanded criticism comes from here. If it's not blatant kink shaming its criticism of flow or whatever else ppl want to be mad about. It's why I put so much heavy content warning and tag my work the way I do. Even if the tags do my work a disservice because it makes it seem worse than it is, I'm doing literally everything I can to warn people that if they are not into XYZ, then this is NOT FOR THEM
But what can you do 😭 hope for the best plan for the worst I guess!
