Hi guys~! ⛅👋

Long time no see! Much longer than I ever intended, in fact. Truth be told, I wanted to make a public post sooner, but I've had a lot to catch up on in terms of notifications and messages since logging back in a few days ago. I've also made some changes that I will address shortly, but first of all I wanted to thank those of you who have reached out with so much care and understanding during my absence. Adjusting has been a slow and fragile process for me -still is-, and I sadly haven't responded directly to everyone yet because of it, but I wanted to say how much I appreciate your patience and support nonetheless. 🥹 🙏

Long story short, I was gone for five months due to a huge burnout, then progressively found my spark again somewhere along the way and have since mostly recovered. It was my wonderful friend @drones-of-innocence who reached out to me outside of Tumblr, and her sense of initiative is largely the reason why I managed to make this post in a somewhat reasonable delay. 😅💖 With that said however, I must also mention that I've deleted a lot of stuff from my page and have removed most of my work from the public eye as well. This may seem quite drastic and frankly a little unsettling, but I assure you that it was a thoroughly considered and reasoned decision! The thing is that I was still getting lots of notes on these drawings everyday and… To put it simply, I didn't want that anymore. ����‍♀️ Experiencing popularity was very detrimental to me in the long run and I needed to put an end to it for the sake of my own wellbeing; at least for now.

Which brings me to my next point.

After mulling it over for a while, I've decided that I would not be returning as an active creator in the Mario community this time around. 👐 Making fanart for this franchise (with such a high and continuously maintained degree of involvement) had a lot to do with my health's decline and I've come to realize that I wanted to direct my focus elsewhere going forward. For that reason, there are things which I know will never be repeated again in the future, both in regards to my art and online presence in general, but that's alright. Things change, as they do and should. I'm looking forward to reuniting with folks and would be very happy to stay in touch with those of you who wish to message me privately. Like my lovely pal @istadris said, what matters most about any fandom are the friends you make in it. ☺️

And speaking of which-

@ody-and-fanatu That's so sweet of you, thank you! 💗 I'm glad you've enjoyed my contribution to the fandom. It was fun while it lasted! 💫 My visual ideas may be gone from my page, but most of my written posts and replies are still there for anyone who wants to revisit those at least, so there's that! And I'd also like to answer some of the asks I still have in my inbox at some point. Knowing that you hold my art in such high regard makes really happy! 🥰 Unfortunately, the other account that I have is reserved for my professional work and I prefer to keep them separate from one other, but the good thing is that I intend to go back to this blog occasionally. Hoping to see you around! Cheers! 🥂

@heiressofdoodles Thanks, I appreciate that! ✨ I'm honestly doing much better than I was earlier this Spring. Back then, I was running on empty and on the verge of crashing without even knowing it. Being in constant physical pain was one thing, but feeling mentally and emotionally drained on a daily basis was another entirely, and something had to be done. It took me a moment to really figure out what was wrong, but thankfully I realized very quickly what was causing it and applied the breaks with all my might. One of my main priorities now is to be more alert and respect my own boundaries to make sure that this never happens again. 🥲

@keakruiser Thank you. 🙏💐 I'm just glad to have found my footing again. Feels good to be able to create freely.^^ Hope you're doing well too!

Special thanks also to @pianokantzart, @jelly-fish-wishes, @katlyntheartist, @triniji and @wahooitsamee for their kind words. 🫂 Your graciousness and consideration means a lot to me. 💝

As for all the nice people who sent me anon comments and well wishes, I tried to summarize my thoughts as best I could in this update, but if there's anything else you'd like to say or know, don't hesitate to ask me anytime! Now that I feel like myself again, I think I'm gonna hang out on Tumblr for a little bit. I'll be excited to see what you guys have been up to in the meantime! 🤗 Wishing you all a very good day and pleasant Fall. 🍂

After giving this some thought and then checking your tier list for inspiration I think you'll be amused to find out that I was considering Thoma prior to seeing it.

Thoma is really, really sweet, and I think he'd be able to figure out a really nice balance between getting you out of your comfort zone but not throwing you into the deepest, coldest, darkest pits of the ocean when he's supporting you in whatever goal you've set for yourself.

I feel like he'd also be able to properly appreciate your kindness without taking it for granted by working to reciprocate it. He also has enough mischief in him to keep things fun.

Basically I can count on him to take care of you. Not to say you can't take care of yourself: just that he will lighten the burdens of life not add to them.

Cyno was another option I considered when I thought about it. He's a really thoughtful and caring guy. The fact he started telling jokes just to be less intimidating and more approachable shows just how sensitive he is.

I like the idea of him being very attentive. One thing I can also imagine is him never belittling anyone's interests - unless someone's interest is objectively bad (think illegal things that are harmful to other people). They may not be for him, but he'll appreciate that you like them.

I remember seeing somewhere that Cyno was potentially neurodivergent, and I remember seeing somewhere else that neurodivergent people did this thing of...it had something to do with penguins, where they collect things that made them think of you. I can see him doing that.

Again another guy I can trust to treat you well.

Jing Yuan was the default because I read your fanfic and my brain by default associated the two of your together

While I haven't seen Windbreaker, I remember you posting a lot about Umemiya Hajime (he's the white-haired cutie right?) and my brain went: what about that guy too.

These four are now in competition for your hand, this is what my brain has decided.

This ^ ? This is me right now. I'm crying bawling sobbing in a puddle of my own tears.

I almost didn't want to answer this 'cause this whole thing just... makes me SO happy 🥹

Guess it's harem time for me 'cause I'm NOT choosing just one of them!

Thoma is... perfect. Perfect house husband. He cooks, he cleans, he fricken' knits! He's an animal lover. I love him so much, but he needs to take a break at times. I want to take him on a picnic where I'm in charge of the food and drinks. He gets to sit and enjoy the view.

And Cyno! My snarky baby. Short king. I want to hide his headpiece though. Give me access to that fluffy hair. He needs to find someone else to play cards with tho, I only play Go Fish 😒

Speaking of fluffy hair, Jing Yuan! He'd better be bringing Mimi to the house or I'm rioting. Wait... can we teach him Cyno's card game and teach Cyno star chess and then they can play with each other and I'll be free? This is my harem so I'm saying yes we can!

And Umemiya's bringing up the rear (And YES! He's the white-haired cutie who I've been obsessed with lately! I'm so happy you picked him despite not knowing him!) Guess Thoma gets to focus on the house since Ume will be taking care of the garden. And they can take turns cooking. Fresh veggies for dinner, yuuum 🤤

What am I doing in the house, you ask? I'm their ray of sunshine cheerleader , it's a full-time job!

I love all of these so much, THANK YOU!!! 💖💖💖

Tell me which character you ship me with
