#don't be afraid

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Apparently and Unfortunately, there's been a... sudden influx in the reposting/editing/claim-it-as-their-own of my arts inside the TikTok world (；′⌒`)

I know, I know, "Weeelll you're famous, sooner or later your arts are gonna be reposted, just deal with it bla bla bla." I get it, but still, the fact that a lot of people do it doesn't mean it's right. I've even let loose by letting it go if they reposted with credits by writing my name on the caption, but of course, majority of time, they get reposted without credits, edited, and then claiming it as their own.

I thank all the reports that have come in into my DM's! I promise I've done what I can to make them take it down, but again, most of the time I get ignored in the DM's.

-> SO ✨ What would be a huge, wonderful help to me, is don't be afraid to comment on the posts/tiktoks that it's sleepyconfusedpotato's art KINDLY. Don't attack them, just leave a comment that the art is not theirs and the art belongs to sleepyconfusedpotato on IG and Tumblr. That way the people that sees it will at least know that it does not belong to the reposter.

Once again, thank you guys so much for reporting these to me, but my efforts alone won't be enough, and of course they'll try to ignore/block me as I'm the actual artist. A thief won't admit to their steals.

Thank you and have a nice day/evening!

Okay but. "It is possible to survive this but not unaltered" as a positive thing. Discuss.

Seamus Heaney's last words to his wife Marie, in a text message, just minutes before he died, were "Noli timere" - "Don't be afraid". (Seamus Heaney died on this day in 2013.)

Good Morning!☀

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:1-2

I once had a math teacher whose name was Dr. Terrell. He was excited about the subject and could make the most difficult math problems seem simple and easy. One of his most repeated sayings is ringing in my ear at this moment: "Don't be intimidated!"  He encouraged us to tackle each math problem head on, with confidence.

Another way of saying this may be more familiar: "Fear not! Don't be afraid!" Ages ago God was telling his people to be confident, to face each of life's problems without fear, because he would be right there with them. He let them know that the floods of life would not drown them and the fires of life would not consume them. This still holds today for those who put their trust in him.

Don't be intimidated! No matter what you face now or in the future, you will come out victorious!

Hold me... The way you hold me tight

Kiss me... It always feels so nice

Love me... You don't have to be afraid

I'll catch you if you fall my way

[misc-obeyme]

Oh yes, if you get a boop from misc-magic, that's me. I am trying to boop everybody back as much as possible on both accounts! Feel free to spam boop!

for each minute wavered and each heartbeat passed, the universe takes score and keeps it on hand

waiting for a time to call out your fear force you to leap or watch love disappear
