One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

Got a spam message from someone claiming to be a Gazan in need of aid (it was clearly a scam), and I'm certain they meant to write, "Dear Lebanese" (I'm Lebanese on my dad's side, and I've posted about it here). Instead, it said:

i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree
#I still have bad body image days#we all do#but also…I have stuff to do???#i can’t freak out about gray hair because I have STUFF to do

i love seeing your new POTO art on my tumblr feed, i've been such a fan since like 2015 when i was a baby phantom fan and first saw your posts on deviantart, and it's so sentimental to see it pop up present day <3
This is so incredibly sweet. Thank you for sticking around this long! You’d think the obsession would calm down after 20 years, but nope, still here, burrowed into my skull.

Something that hit me with your latest batch of Erik drawings is how much he looks like Peter Cushing. Is this something you're doing on purpose or some strange coincidence?
YAY, I love that you noticed that. YES. Peter Cushing's been a big visual influence on my Erik for years and years. I think he would've made a beautifully sensitive Erik if he'd ever gotten to play him.
Oddly enough, before I even made the connection, my Erik looked a lot like him. Then, when I was watching a random Hammer film years back, I thought, "Oh, my gosh. I've been drawing Peter Cushing this whole time." So it wasn't intentional from the get-go, but it's certainly a major design influence now!
The man had such a great (cadaverous) face, and I love him even more because according to all accounts, he was an absolutely lovely person.
#i also think tom hiddleston looks so much like cushing and i'd love a quirky film about the making of Hammer movies#with hiddleston as cushing and claes bang as christopher lee#myart#phantom of the opera#also if you've followed me for a looooong time#a) thank you for sticking around that long and#b) you know that in an alternate universe I'd cast cushing as erik and audrey hepburn as Christine#I need it#I think about it every day of my life

I've been drawing Erik in a ceaseless fugue state for 20 years now and I don't plan to stop anytime soon.
