This is the last time I'm going to say this. I don't care if people ditch me, block me, whatever. Cause if they were real friends, they wouldn't ditch me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And honestly? I don't even block people I talk consistently with and am close friends with unless it's clear we have different views on fiction or w/e and I feel there's going to be a big deal made out of it. Cause I don't need someone who thinks terribly of me for the fiction I write.
Most of the time, I get blocked, which is just fine. I don't care!! I don't need people who will easily block me!! I very rarely even post about it!! And yes, I have been known to block without a word, but it's never really with people I feel super close to. I usually try to work it out with them. It is not my problem that someone gets upset over me blocking to the point they dnis or talk shit about me just for protecting my peace.
What I care about is people talking shit about me for a month and me being silent and then suddenly I'm even more of the bad guy for standing up for myself.
I have every right to block and unfollow who I see fit. If you get butthurt over that, that's on YOU pal. I always have my reasons and most of the time I will talk to friends before I do, unless I believe there's no point.
I'm not playing the victim cause I do not give a shit. At all. I stay in my own lane, I mind my own fucking business, and I don't give a shit if people block me. Like if we're close, it may sting a little, but I always move on to 'i don't care actually'. You can ask any of my long time friends honestly, they know. Yes, I cadmit I did get really upset and panic-y when I thought someone who was my friend blocked me but you know what? Now i'm at the 'fuck it' stage and really don't care anymore.
I'm not posting any anons about this (unlike some people) so I'm not trying to drag this or anything else out. This will be the last post I ever make on this.
Leave me alone because I'm not doing anything except writing. I'm not posting drama, I'm not talking shit, i'm not posting the anons I keep getting cause I don't care.
Leave me alone, it ain't that hard to move on. I'm not the one getting upset over someone blocking me to the point where I need a DNI and have to cry about it.
Also? I don't use people just to toss them to the side. I have friends I've had for literal years. If you are damaging to my peace and mental health, you're gone. It is as simple as that. I don't really care if that makes me the bad guy but it certainly doesn't make me toxic or manipulative, especially if all I do is block someone and don't even talk about it or cry on the dash about it.
I can and will block people as I see fit. People are always screaming about protecting their space and dash and when I do it, it's suddenly an issue??? I'm not the one sending anons to people talking shit or sending hate (which has been happening to me since this started but guess what? i don't post them! i block and move on!!)
You can ask my friends that I've had for a while, I'm not toxic and manipulative nor do I use and discard people lmao
And tbh? until recently I don't recall blocking people in literal years.
Anyway I'm only posting this as a PSA and to link it in my post in case someone ever has a problem with me blocking them.

Protective Obi-Wan anyone?
I was re-watching the Ryloth arc and I couldn't help but notice,
I love how Obi-Wan's arm immediately goes to block Cody, he extends his hand out and it's not in the form of a fist, it's flat, it's an attempt to block as much of Cody's chest as possible. Cody takes a full step back to, mainly to get into position to shoot. But he's preparing himself to move behind Obi-Wan, who'd need enough room to swing his lightsaber to block blaster shots.
Obi-Wan's first instinct is to protect Cody, his second is to ignite his lightsaber. Obi-Wan protects Cody before protecting himself and others. His lightsaber would give enough cover for all his men, but his body would only cover Cody's.
In the second frame, Obi-Wan puts his hand on Cody's gun first before turning off his lightsaber. Now, he does know what is about to come out of the grate before his men do, which is partially why he wants to stop Cody. Cody putting down his weapon would signal to his men that there is no danger, however, turning off his lightsaber would do the exact same thing. But he chooses to stop Cody first.
After Obi-Wan puts his hand on Cody's gun, notice how long he looks at Obi-Wan. Cody's guard is down, he doesn't keep his eye on the grate like his men do, he doesn't even try to keep his blaster aimed, also unlike his men. Cody doesn't break contact with Obi-Wan until he does, it's in that moment we understand how much Cody trusts Obi-Wan with his life.

I want you to know that Dawn has become canon in my mind and I would die for her. I love every single illustration you post!! Your art style is so fun and expressive and really stands out from the crowd in the best way possible.
JHSFKSJH SDLKJHDSLKHF oh my god??
I'm ngl that is one of the most flattering things anyone's ever said about my art Q_Q
Thank you so much!!! I'm ngl while I genuinely like my own art, I do sometimes have moments of insecurity where I feel like maybe the way I stylize these characters is getting a bit out of hand or looks odd, so this was a really nice reminder that in reality, others don't even see it that way qwq
thank you so much for this ask, it genuinely made my day!! <3<3<3

rakiel coming back after nine years and finding new clinics scattered all over the capital. all over the empire. all over the continent actually. all following the system he'd developed for his own as best as they could.
theo apologizes because he knows they're not as good as hyung's or as he would've done, but there were a lot of people hurt after the battle, a lot of people they needed to assist and he didn't know any better way to help than the one hyung had showed him.
and. and then it had felt wrong to take away people's access to free medical treatment, to the help they could easily give. so he'd just. made the clinics permanent. and opened new ones. in farther and farther places. reached out to friendly nations to ask if they needed any help too. reached out to not-so-friendly ones to see if there was anything they could do there too.
and it was. it was hard to be honest. he'd learned a lot from hyung, more than he'd been aware of, he didn't think he would've managed to keep up with the responsibility becoming the crown prince of a devastated nation if he hadn't had experience with organizing big groups and delegating tasks as necessary to capable people from helping gardin to run the clinic when hyung was gone or from accommodating the huge delegation that had been summoned by the dragon king before. well. before. and even if those had been simple tasks compared to what he had to do now, little practice was better than no practice at all. he would've probably crumbled under the pressure if he hadn't had a taste of it beforehand.
but even so. it had been hard. he'd done his best to do as he'd learned from hyung but there was no guide to doing it in such a large scale and there were so many injured and so few supplies and there's only so much three absolute beings can do when they're busy fixing the whole world.
and he'd done it, he'd done his best but he knew it wasn't as good as it could be and he was sorry for that and if hyung wanted to change it or ignore it or get rid of it entirely theo would understand and-
and rakiel can just. stare. because he's so proud of his kid. he's so, so, so fucking proud of him.
because he'd always known theo could be a good emperor, he always knew it wasn't about him being untalented or inept or even mediocre, he knew he could be great in the right circumstances. but there had always been a part of him that couldn't help but worry about what would happen to him if things went wrong, if things didn't go according to plan, if he put theo in a position he wasn't prepared for and he crashed and burned and rakiel couldn't be there to help him.
but theo had been put in a terrible spot, had been put under a lot of pressure in the worst of circumstances and not only had he done well, he'd done amazing. he didn't just meet expectations he'd gone well beyond what was expected and asked of him. and rakiel couldn't be prouder of him.

ur making it pretty hard to not be curious about aftg like what is going on can you infodump ur worst to me
so basically it's about a guy called neil who's not actually called neil bc turns out he's the son of a HIGHLY abusive mafia hitman and him and his mother have been running from this guy for years which ofc means changes in identity and a SHIT ton of issues ranging from good old fashioned paranoia to lighting cigarettes not to smoke them but to let them burn down bc the smell reminds you of your mother's burning corpse. but neil is obsessed and i mean OBSESSED with this made up sport called exy which is like lacrosse but with the violence of ice hockey and he joins a pro-team despite aforementioned ABUSIVE MAFIA DAD AFTER HIM and guess what! the guy who signed him is called kevin and his ex-team are affiliated with the mafia too! including neil's dad! neil just screwed himself over big time! but who cares when you have exy! enter: andrew minyard. andrew is a blonde, 5ft, ex-juvie, under-court-surveillance-for-grevious-bodily-harm goalkeeper currently working unofficially as kevin's bodyguard and, while we never get an actual diagnosis bc god forbid we handle mental health properly in this thing, it's implied that he has some kind of psychosis and, as part of his plea bargain, is legally obgligated to take incredibly mood-altering medication that makes him manic in exchange for being allowed to stay on the team (aka with kevin who he's VERY possessive of), done entirely for the wellbeing of those around him and effectively against andrew's will. does he stick to that deal? fuck no! but it doesn't stop there! andrew proceeds to spend the entire book being as violent and unpredictable and generally cunty as possible in order to figure out What Neil's Deal Is bc neil is capital S Shifty and andrew is convinced he's from kevin's old mafia cult team trying to hurt him. we spend an entire book watching the three of them wrestle between neil's paranoia, andrew's protectiveness and kevin's desire to Please Can We Just Play Exy. there are some keys involved. someone dies. there are two more books. inexplicably two of the characters can speak fluent german purely from high school classes.
