Hi.

So I may not be the best person to respond to your “my work/art doesn’t mean anything to anyone” but I’m still trying so

Your work!!! Your writing!! Oh my goodness!!!!! It’s a very cute thing that makes me wish I had love sometimes, even if I’m Aromantic. Sometimes I read like the softness of Jed and Oct or the goofy and I think “wow I wish I had someone to talk with me like that”

and your art!!!!!!!!! Your DtL art is literally amazing and like ig some of your works are things I don’t feel deeply bc I’m still a mentally legally physically child but they’re still awesome!!!! I may not be mentally mental enough to fully appreciate it as it could be but I’m trying my best to appreciate it with the understanding I have. I want you to know that what you post here is something we love to see and we’re glad you post. They’re very beautiful things as you are very talented and I hope you do know how talented you are. Seriously. I’m so glad you have this space to show off your talent I’m so happy about it.

I love you, I hope you find your own peace

this is the sweetest thing ever and it really cheered me up. you’re so so kind, thank you <3 also i understand what you’re saying about not being at a stage in your life where you can fully appreciate some of the themes in my work; that is a really fair point to make. but i hope i don’t sound condescending when i say that just because you are technically a “child” it doesn’t mean you don’t have valuable and meaningful interpretations to lend to the media you consume. i’m sure you know that already, but yeah. i’m just very appreciative that you would see something worthwhile in anything i make, even if some or a lot of it doesn’t apply to you. i’m sure loads of what i make isn’t relatable to loads of people who see it, but i’m still really grateful to have them there and i still love to hear their perspectives because that’s what makes it all fun. anyway. thank you so much again. i hope you are well <3
