Small update

Hi everyone, long time no see, I suppose. Got on this app and saw that my ol' art has been getting likes and reblogs lately, and I want to apologise for the lack of new stuff and engagement for the last... Uh, years... Damn time flies so fast.

Just wanted to tell you all I haven't forgotten about the fandom. I entertain hopes of getting back to it and creating again. Hopefully, I can connect with at least some of you again and there will be hcs to be shared and prompts to be answered.

The past 3-4 years I've moved to the Finnish countryside, become a mum to a now 2,5 year old, graduated with a business economics degree and started studying again. It's been a lot, and I've mostly drawn stuff for my daughter to colour in, but hopefully I can find time and energy for creativity some time soon...

Wishing you all a great day, stay safe.

must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???
