#sending you the biggest hug ever ever ever

[luvrodite]

Hey, it's me again. First off, I want to say I'm sorry in advance if this is coming at an inconvenient time. I wasn't sure how to respond to what you said in regards to the previous ask I sent at first because so much was going on at the time, but things have calmed down (right before I go back to school on Friday 😭), so I figured now was the best time to send this. (Actually, the funny thing is I was going to talk to you about your zombie apocalypse fic I read a while back. But I'll talk about it in another ask.)

I wanted to thank you for not only confiding your own experience with me, a stranger, but also for the kindness you showed me through this confidement and your words. I did feel like I was going slightly insane during my health journey. Because I had never heard of someone's health suddenly tanking in this way, this quickly, at my age. Like I said, I thought my life was just beginning after my first semester in college, but it felt like everything came to a screeching halt. I would never wish this experience on anyone, but I felt so seen when you said you went through this, at the same age I did. I honestly did cry at that because suddenly, I didn't feel freakish, like some weird little thing. I was seen, acknowledged, and accepted.

I want to say that I am sorry you went through this and that you may have been treated poorly during such a vulnerable time. But I'm happy you're here and that we get to talk. You've done, and you continue to do so well. It was difficult, and you may still be going through this health journey/dealing with the aftershocks, but you're still going. And that effort that you put in every day is amazing. I want you to know that I see you, just as you see me. Things like this can cause a lot of hurt for us and can cause us to hurt in return. It's a bad situation overall, like you said. But as weirdly worded as this may be, I am glad we get to see the hurt. Because we have the chance to acknowledge it and apologize for it. To me, I think that's wonderful. (I hope the sentiment to this came through, I'm sorry if this sounded mean or anything.)

Anyway. I just wanted to say thank you for being you and for being here. I hope that one day, there is peace for both of us. (And I promise I will come back to ramble about the fic!)

hiiiii!!!!! firstly you don't have to apologise at all oh my gosh!! my inbox is always open! i get to my asks when i can but it's always open for messages <33

i'm sending you the biggest hug ever!!! thank you for sharing your story with me, i know it's quite a vulnerable thing to share but i'm glad you were able to!! you're not at all alone in this and i'm holding your hand so tight <33 the very fact that you're still pursuing your education is so commendable and i know your younger self is cheering you on and as am i!!!

i wish i were able of conveying just how strongly i feel about your messages but i'm finding english so inadequate for it!!! but know that every day you only continue to make yourself proud !!!!

none of what you said sounded mean and i 100% know what you're saying don't worry!! i agree though about getting to see the hurt, i feel like it would've been very very easy for me personally to adopt a mindset where i focused only on my pain, and some days it is still hard for me to acknowledge that i wasn't the only one affected by that, but again like you said it gives us the chance to grow from it.

that being said i empathise very much with you because it's a hard thing to go through and i see and recognise that!! i'm sending you so so so much love, friend, thank you for not only being here but also taking the time to send such a sweet message. i hope school goes well and that your break was kind to you, and that peace comes for you very very soon <333 (so so so excited to hear your thoughts on the fic!!)

Response to you 🥝 anon (keeping your ask in my inbox forever so i can keep reading it) - I WAS WAITING AND EXCITED FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT CAPITANO!!!!!!! (ALSO DON'T APOLOGIZE!! IM GLAD UR OKAY!!! i remember i was checking my notifs to see if u liked my posts yet😭😭 all that matters is your health and taking care of yourself *hugs* !! <3)

ALSO. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE CAPITANO'S HANDS GET BIGGER WHEN HE USES HIS POWERS?? THAT'S SO COOL. i also think he could be a dragon from Natlan 🤔 it could fit in with why he's insistent on taking the gnosis outside of the fatui business. (Natlan AQ spoilers UTC)

THE IMPACT FRAME AGAINST HER WAS EVERYTHING. like... damn. literally no other words to describe it. damn... i love him fr. the fight scene was SO GOOD. AND THE FLYING <333 idek where or how that came from but YA!!! capi flying while carrying you is way too cute 😔😔❤��❤️ (him confused of why you're scared because he's NOT going to drop you) I also adore his long luscious hair <3 i need to know his hair routine!!! AND HIS BIG COAT!! PERFECT FOR CUDDLES!!

ALSO IM GLAD U LIKED THE FOX/PUFFTTORE FIC!! 🫶🫶 they are currently swarming you with cuddles as we speak!! ALSO YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY... FOXTTORE AND THE PUFFLINGS DON'T GET DELETED SINCE THEY'RE NOT SEGMENTS!! THEY LIVE!!!!!

How do you art. My ability has left me and a block has taken its place

(This is my second time trying to do this, tumblr I will blow you up PERSONALLY)

First off I am giving the biggest hugs!!! Art blocks suck and I'm sorry to hear that it's bringing you down :(

I think the best thing to do is figure out what's causing your artblock. Everything I'm about to ramble about is personal experience so if it doesn't apply throw me another ask or DM! I'm always happy to talk to people!

In my experience, artblock usually comes from a very mental place. Creative have a bad habit of equating their worth to what they create/the quality of what they create.

You are more than content!!! Your art is a wonderful thing about you, but it's not your entire worth as a person. So if you fail, or you suck, that doesn't mean that you as a person fail/suck. So if that's in your noggin, start niggling that little bitch out. Yeet it into the sun!!!!! She's useless and adds nothing to the conversation!!!!!!!!

Don't be afraid to create bad art, either. I can't express to you how many aborted files I have in my folder because I thought "it's not good enough. Scrap it"

But my biggest leaps of progress come from me being like "this sucks, but I'm going to finish it anyway" you learn WAY more with bad art than you will with good. Analyse and deconstruct after you've finished creating, not during. Have fun while you're doing it. Fuck around and find out. Get manic with it. Cackle into the abyss. Create with the joy of a 5 year old that has no idea what notes/reblogs are and just loves this silly purple guy.

Ability fluctuates as your eyes get better at spotting what's good/bad. Your art probably isn't bad. Your eyes are just much keener now at picking these things up! Your hands just haven't gotten the memo yet.

SO! Here are some actionable ways you can break art block, or at least create a little bit:

Make art that sucks and learn to be uncomfortable with it. Find joy in shitty art. I'm a lot happier now that I do this!

Finish it or post it anyway!

Speak to your creative friends, or fandom friends! A lot of my inspo comes from them because they inspire me all the time. Bouncing ideas off eachother helps a lot with idea generation, and staying excited about it.

Prompt generators and those expression memes! They take the thinking part out and you can concentrate on just drawing

Art trades, or even collaborations! Having someone else there always adds more motivation

Pose studies, a lot of my stuff is just pose studies that I warped into hot turtle men. It's another one where I don't have to think, just create.

Writing down those ideas you get at 3am so that when you're stuck you can go look at a list

I hope this helps a little. This sort of thing is hard to deal with, and I understand how frustrating it is when you want to draw but you just can't seem to (I went a year without picking up a pen, shudders). I promise that with gentle effort and genuine kindness to yourself, it can get better! I'm rooting for you!!!

(Sorry for how much I rambled on, this is something I'm very passionate about and in the trenches with also)

[pardonmydelays]

if you log out of this hellsite i do not blame you bc it does suck here but i will very much miss your presence 😢♥️

omg thank you so much! 🥺

yes, it really sucks to be here right now... i literally had to unfollow 100+ swifties to clear my dash cause i was sick of seeing people who are defending all her actions & shitting on joe alwyn for no reason. still, i don't even have the energy to scroll tumblr so all i do is check my messages from time to time. i definitely need a break, but seeing things like that in my inbox makes me want to think it through once again. ❤️

I'm watching AHS Hotel and someone shoved Liz up against the wall AND WITHOUT EVEN THINKING, I said "get your hands OFF my wife" out loud and now I'm melting all over my work hsdfghjk I didn't mean to say that.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Omg, this is so freaking cute and wholesome🥺 Imagine her face when she hears you say that! So full of love, softness and adoration for you because you called her your wife, and it's absolutely true❤️ Pride because you're so brave and strong. Worry because she doesn't want you to get hurt while protecting her. And I bet she'd also have a sassy but affectionate comment for you because she's a goddess after all🤭 Also, you can always count on your wife Liz. She'll always have an open ear for you when you need someone to vent or gossip to. She'll tell you something like this,

"Listen, sweetheart, I've seen stress come and go like the tides. But remember, you're stronger than you think, more fabulous than you give yourself credit for, and capable of conquering any challenge that crosses your path. Take a moment to breathe. Chin up, chest out, darling. I believe in you, I always do, and I'm very proud of you. So keep shining, my dear."

Pfft, please excuse me if this doesn't sound like her🙈 It's been ages since I last watched AHS Hotel. And now I kind of miss her too. But I wanted to try and write you a little something💜 On a side note, whenever I see something bad happen to my new f/o, I have a similar reaction. I'm like, "NOOO, leave him alone! Don't hurt him!!"😭🤬

sappy personal post:

my sweet pup lily would have turned 16 today. she passed away two months ago very unexpectedly and i miss her everyday. i’ve had her since she was a puppy so losing her was like losing a child.

when i was growing up, every birthday and christmas when my parents would ask me what i wanted, i would always say ‘a dog’. i even made presentations with different dog breeds with good temperaments and reason with my parents that i would take care of the dog all by myself.

i finally wore them down when i turned 11. after doing some research, we found a breeder and drove to pick up the puppy. we walked in the house and saw two little bundles of white fur sleeping in a laundry basket. they woke up and waddled over to greet us. the breeder told us to pick between the two sisters in the litter and it was seemingly impossible to decide between these adorable balls of fluff. i noticed the bigger sister kept teasing and pouncing on the younger, smaller one and i immediately could sympathize being a younger sister myself. i knew we had to bring her home.

the funny things with pets is you don’t really have *big* moments with them. they are just so ingrained in your daily lives. you are used to seeing them staring at you while eating an apple and demanding you share a piece with them. you hear the jingle of their collar when they walk across the floor or hear them sigh contently when they are curled up in their bed. i think that’s the hardest thing. knowing their physical presence is gone.

lily was my pride and joy and i’m honoured and grateful that i got 15 incredible years with her but it wasn’t nearly enough. i needed a lifetime.

every birthday, she got a birthday hat and a homemade cake (yes i was that dog owner that spoiler her rotten but she deserved nothing less). i hope she’s enjoying her cake today.

happy birthday my sweet girl 💖
