#i'm so lucky to know you

Hi, Jess! Just wanted to say your voice is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and breathtaking, wow! May I ask, do you have vocal music education or is it self-taught? You sound like a professional singer amd the way you're using and working with your voice is so impressive! Your voice is mesmerizing and unique and it also reminded me a little of Susanne Sundfør, who is one my abslute favorite female singers, and if you ever do a cover of Christine Dae's parts, I think you will nail it. I cried when I heard your cover of Safe and Sound, the words along with your singing leave such a sharp, evocative feeling, it's so comforting and painful at the same time, and I love this. "Don't you dare look out your window, darling, Everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on. Hold on to this lullaby, Even when the music's gone{...} Just close your eyes, You'll be alright. Come, morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound" I'm truly shaken. It hits close to home and it's such a masterpiece of a song. I'll listen to Taylor Swift version as well, but you singing it absolutely blew me away! Thank you for sharing this with me and making me feel all of this. And thank you for you being you. Hugging you❤️

ELLIE 🥺😭🥺😭💖💞💖💞 this is immensely kind of you and the sweetest thing, thank you so much.

my music education is admittedly limited to being in choir throughout school, music theory 101, and some very limited voice lessons (we couldn't afford them independently when i was a kid, but when i started college they were offered/covered by my scholarship, so i had them for a little while. it was something i'd planned to pursue further though!), otherwise it's self-teaching and just the hobby of singing recreationally all the time since i was little. i know i could've benefited from more real training. my favorite dream was always musical theatre (then there was my dad, who wanted me to be a country singer 😂), but even if i hadn't ended up as a performer at all, i still wanted to do something with music as a part of it, like education, or music therapy. being separated from that due to the constraints of illness was one of my deepest heartbreaks, so when i (a decade ago?! HOW) started singing for fun in my little lq voice memos on tumblr, it was so consoling and made me feel closer to that again.

Your voice is mesmerizing and unique and it also reminded me a little of Susanne Sundfør ohhhh i will have to look her up! that's an honor to remind you of a singer you love.

the way you phrased this is SO lovely, and that's how i feel when i listen to safe and sound. it's so comforting and painful at the same time exactly, it's that mix of heavy sorrow and unbreakable hope. it's such a beautiful song. recording that with my friend hannah was one of my favorite things, i remember hearing her vocals and feeling the tug of that melody in my chest. and of course i always recommend checking out taylor's originals of any song, but i'm very grateful and touched that hearing my rendition of it moved you like this. 🥰

thank YOU for your thoughtfulness and for making me feel heard and encouraged, and for being who you are too, ily so much. *HUGS YOU CLOSE* 💕🎵💕🎵

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

I would like to say that anyone who has ever done wrong by these precious children should feel ashamed of their actions.

LOOK! LOOK AT THESE BABIES!!! 😭💜

Crowned Prince Shouto who is so very much in love with you, even if it did take a while to come around after the arranged marriage occurred.

Crowned Prince Shouto whose brow creases and eyes twitch every time people in high court mock how plain you are under hushed breaths.

Crowned Prince Shouto who gets absolutely sloshed at a royal banquet to try and drown his anger when he hears a rumor going around that his marriage is unconsummated due to finding you so repulsive before storming off to find you.

Royal Advisor Izuku who rushes off to try and follow, only to hear a shriek coming from your room. When scrambling to investigate if you're okay he finds his master on his knees absolutely devouring your cunt while your receiving chamber door remains open a crack.

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?

It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.

Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!

But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.

Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.

don't know shit about this fandom but my friend showed me the youtube videos and i was like oooooo… i have no idea what kinger looks like.

anywho; sketches. will probably clean these up & color properly at some point bc jax got so stretched that he is approximately 3 pixels now. but until then i figured i'd just put it out here bc i have to do college instead of drawing now!

Your anons are always so different. You either get funny anon (like the 'pantaloons' one, I'm still thinking about that) or existential dread and misery anon.

I'm hoping to participate in Art Fight more this year than last year allowed me, and I added Allessandro over there...only to realize I didn't have a colored ref for him! It's been a year since I last drew him so I figured: no better time than now to give him a new fullbody pic!

Fun update: after a month spent searching for his mentor and ending up in Barovia because of it, Saverio finally 'heard' from him a couple sessions ago...only for the message to be vague, short and offer no real answers. Needless to say: Allessandro is still full of mysteries and Saverio is pretty irked at essentially being ghosted by his not-father figure.

(You can find me on AF here!)
