Hello Savannah! So this is a little bit of a long story, but bear with me. Long before I had this account, back in like 2016 or something, I was really into TMNT 2012 and I used to visit your blog all the time (can you believe the tenth anniversary of that series' premiere is going to be in just under a month?! Crazy.) Anyway, I fell out of the fandom when rottmnt came along because of personal stuff (I didn't even finish season 5 of the 2012 series 😅) As such, I sadly stopped visiting your blog (big mistake on my part, you're awesome). And today a friend of mine reblogged something from you and I saw your url and was like hm. wonder how she's doing. And it looks like you're doing great and I think your art has gotten even better over the years! So yeah, just kind of wanted to say hi and let you know that I haven't forgotten about you even though I'm not an active turtles fan anymore. But those boys will always have a special place in my heart and some of that is due to your influence in the fandom. Anyway, sorry for the rambling, I hope you have a good week! And have a turt and a flower 🐢🌸

Aaaa hello! It's so nice to hear from you! 💜 thank you so much for your sweet message!

Oh my goodness - it's so hard to believe that it's been that long! :O It's crazy to think that when I first got into TMNT I was right around the boys' age, and now I'm a whole adult, lol. Honestly I feel almost like a completely different person than I was back then- current me is definitely a lot happier and more secure than the me that had just fumbled her way onto Tumblr :)

I totally understand outgrowing fandoms, so no worries there. But the fact that you even remembered me and my art means a lot 💜 I'm humbled that I could make an impact on someone and that they'd remember me after all this time! I hope that you're doing good as well!

Here's a turtle and a flower right back at you! 😊🐢🌸
