#thanks for the message though i appreciate it

[milkamel]

Sooo since today is Kross Day (I’ve been making sure to keep an eye on the dates lol) I wanted to make something a little special so here’s a redraw of the first Kross art I ever posted- the difference is quite visible lol

THE OLD ART

A small message under cut :D

I wanted to make some more stuff but I had little time and figured that it’d be symbolic to remake something where my Kross, ahem, obsession started. Literally wasn’t in my plans but I can’t say I regret it. Love this ship with all my heart, it means so much to me. I’m very grateful to everyone and all the support (as I’m writing this I just hit 2k here on Tumblr IT’S INSANE!! Perfect timing >:D). Even though I don’t reply often to stuff just so you know I see it and it makes me incredibly happy to read comments and reply to asks <3 <3 (A while ago posting and sharing silly stuff felt like a chore that left me anxious and uncomfortable but now I just can’t wait to draw some more art of skeletons kissing-) I appreciate and love this fandom you’re all so kind and sweet I wish I could interact more but I’m too anxious and usually just lurk XD But despite that being in this fandom still has been a very positive experience for me personally Anyway thank you, everyone, I love you all <3

Rant: Well, I got frustrated and blocked someone and cleared 3 asks in the process. I’m guessing it was from the same person. Thank you for letting me know that you read my stuff however. I appreciate that.

If you see this, possibly you have a burner account or if you ask a friend why you were randomly blocked this was why. I am done answering questions about the asks that come in that I stated in my pinned post that I don’t want to talk about. “What do I think about Odessa and Drew?” I don’t think about Odessa and Drew just like I don’t think about the other couples or their private lives. When I saw those pictures of Drew on X my first, second, and third thought was not Odessa… That is not a crime.

I don’t like to discuss private lives of celebrities. There are many blogs that do. That is not my niche interest. Continuing to ignore my very short list of discomforts shows me you don’t care about my feelings. It is possible to follow a person for their fashion and their craft. It is possible for it to not go deeper than that. That’s where I stand.

I will not open up a dialogue to discuss other women in a negative manner on my blog because that is where it always goes. Negativity even though it doesn’t start out like that. I also will not talk about his private life of which I know nothing about.

To the person I blocked if you would like to message me privately I would be more than happy to unblock you under the understanding that you respect my wishes.

Dear Liam,

i was 15 when i first saw you on tv. i saw your curly hair, your cute face, heard your angelic voice and immediately knew it was over for me. and i was right. over 12 years have passed since that moment and not a single day has gone by without me thinking of you.

at first i was drawn to you because i thought you were cute, but as time went on i realized we actually had things in common. we had similar experiences with being bullied and struggling with mental health. something that i've always admired about you is how you remained kind and loving despite everything that you've gone through. your ability to see the positive in everything and make the best out of every situation is something i would love to have as well.

your talent and passion for art and music was one of a kind. your stage presence, your songwriting abilities, your vocal abilities, your overall versatility. you always put your heart and soul into everything you've created.

one of your greatest joys was making people happy. you wanted everyone to feel loved, valued and appreciated because you knew what it felt like to be ignored, ridiculed and made fun of. you've given the world all of your kindness and in return, the world has spat in your face.

even though i didn't know you personally i know you doubted yourself a lot. but you never had a reason to. we lost a kind, talented and brilliant person when you left us.

liam, i wish i could've had the opportunity to tell you all this in person. how you helped me through dark times by just existing and being yourself. how grateful i was to be alive at the same time as you. but now you're frozen in time and all i have is memories, regrets and unfulfilled wishes.

it hurts to know that you'll never get the chance to live the life you deserved. if this message somehow reaches you, i want you to know you were so incredibly loved and you always will be.

i will always be angry that you were taken from us so soon and i will never stop wishing that your story had ended differently, more pleasantly.

thank you for everything you've done and the person you were. the world didn't deserve you.

i will always love and miss you x

I’ve been a huge fan of Glass Scientists for… what’s it been like… 7 years? Something like that.. anyway I’m super happy to see it getting more recognition AND EVEN GETTING PUBLISHED??? I got volume 2 the other day and in reading the after words about Jasper I figured I HAD to draw him and talk about why he is SO important to me and why I’m so thankful he exists the way he does. There’s so much else I could say about this series and how much I adore it and how important it is to me but for here I’m just gonna focus on Jasper and why he is so incredibly important to me.

also please go read the glass scientists if you haven’t already it’s SO GOOD

It’s.. not something I talk a lot about but to anybody who pays attention to me on here, it’s probably pretty obvious that I’m trans. Or maybe not. My best friends didn’t know for like 2 years until I made a joke about taking my t shots lol.

When I first started reading glass scientists I didn’t know I was trans. And ultimately this isn’t really a story of how I found out, to be completely blunt it kinda just happened and I’m like yeah, I’m way more comfortable this way, this is just who I am.

After coming to terms with being trans, I found a lot of comfort in many of the characters in Glass Scientists. Over the years something really resonated with me more and more about Jasper.. I always appreciated how yeah, he’s a guy and he’s also soft! And sweet! And I know how much of a walking talking trans man stereotype I am but it felt so nice to see a male character acting and feeling the way I do, bad posture and all.

A few years later and the pages where Jasper talks about being trans drop and HOOH BOY

Everything in these few pages just felt so real and personal to me. Like I had lived this experience of coming out before, as it’s something I and many other trans folk have had to do over and over again. The way Jasper talks about his journey, the way Rachel sees him and the way that the story just continues on with Jasper just.. being who he is. Especially in a world with almost no transmasc representation in media???? This was MONUMENTAL for me. I didn’t really know it was possible to be so seen and so understood in a piece of media.

The real kicker was Rachel’s line about how Jasper must have been so uncomfortable. As someone who’s been lucky enough to have a lot of support, and a loving partner who has been nothing short of incredibly kind and patient and understanding, that line just. I dunno it makes me tear up a little (a lot) every time I read it. That understanding and acknowledgment in those few little words means the world to me.

I wanted to write this out and be a lil vulnerable here after reading how Sage was worried about their portrayal of Jasper. Idk if they’d ever see this, but I wanted to get it out there that as a trans man myself, Jasper is perfect. I’m so thankful that Jasper exists in the story as he does, and that so much love and care went into portraying him. I get the same feeling reading that scene with Rachel and Jasper as I’ve had being comforted by friends and family. It’s so personal and touching. Thank you for writing Jasper the way he is <3

Hey I found ur art uncredited on tik Tok

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMreQSnaw/

They said they "found it on Reddit" so they just decided to steal it and post it ig?? Ugh!!

Wow, that's a whole other repost to the one I thought it was going to be, lol. It's been reposted to TikTok once before, and I'm also not surprised this person got it from Reddit, where I doubt I was credited either.

At the end of the day I appreciate the heads up but there's nothing I can really do about it. The most helpful thing anyone can do is to leave comments on the reposts to provide credit,* because if artists ever try and comment then we pretty invariably get attacked. Don't be mean or aggressive, that just builds their animosity towards the artists, but I do think people respond positively to outside pressure to do the right thing 🤷

*Remember to make sure there's enough context - eg. something like "art by @ landegart on Twitter" is more searchable/useful than "artist is Landeg" to someone on TikTok who has no idea who I am haha

Every time I see you on my dash, and hear your voice on stream I just think about how effortlessly funny you are. You do a lot of cool stuff, and you keep really good company too.

Since today is Women's Day, I want to take a second to talk about a personal accomplishment. I've been writing as an intern for an entertainment news source for the last few months, and it's been incredibly rewarding. I have been given the opportunity to write about things I love, and they're published with credit. I didn't intend to pursue a career in entertainment writing, but I've fallen in love with it and want to continue on this path once my internship ends.

I've been able to write about a lot of women I admire, and some of them have even acknowledged my work. I love being able to support women, and it feels great when they support me back. I'm so happy about this internship, and I'm so grateful to the women that have taken the time to acknowledge and appreciate my writing. It's really cool seeing artists repost my articles, and also I'm extremely grateful for the women in my life who have shared my enthusiasm for this endeavor.

Red is the cutest little sweetheart to ever exist!

"Heh heh, I know! And be sure to let everyone you meet going forward know, especially if they'd be good wifey candidates! I wanna meet 'em all!"

((Are you praising her again? She's going to be rocketing off the walls with all this confidence.))

I love your writingsssss

HELP 😭 but thank you !! i love getting messages like this they genuinely mean the world to me <33

[illiana-mystery]

I'm giving you my entire heart for the Molina through the years series this is BEAUTIFUL to see.

Aww, thank you! 💙 I'm glad you guys like the series. I actually got the idea from my brother.

For those who don't know, I've been on this Fred marathon since last November and my brother has actually watched a lot of his filmography with me. (200+ credits on IMDb BTW 🤯)

Recently, he pointed out that it's crazy that he can both pass for different ethnicities (that might be a future series 😉) and look so different within a year's time depending on the movie/show. But it's a seamless, natural transformation.

For example, in 1995, he looked like this...

But also like this...

Like it blew his mind. And after he said that, I started the series.

Now my brother and I have very deep conversations about stuff and let me tell you, Fred fascinates us.

I think it's because there's something so genuine about him that is sometimes rare to find in Hollywood. He just seems human...down to earth if you will, but a very talented human nonetheless.

Like he has been in some terrible movies over the years, but bless his heart does he give his 100% every time. I love to see it. You can tell he loves doing what he does and I love seeing him do it.

And he'll probably never see this, but if he did, I would say that you're awesome and such an inspiration. Thank you for all of the years of entertainment you gave us, even if we didn't always appreciate it. You are loved and respected dearly. ❤️
