Hey friends. I’m sorry it has been so long. I know many of you have been worried and I want to apologize!
Things have been crazy after I left the clinic, but mostly in a good way! There were so many changes in my life and so I had very little time and energy for social media. On top of that, my computer bit the dust and until I have saved enough for a new one (hopefully at the end of this year or next year) I got a friend’s old computer for the basics.
I also got hit by a huge art block, but then out of necessity I discovered traditional art for myself! I’m really looking forward to getting back into digital art again and maybe see what I learned.
There have also been some very significant changes in my personal life (some good, some not so good, but mostly good) and they’re keeping me pretty busy!
That’s why I wanted to say that I’m incredibly thankful for all the sweet messages I received. I read through my inbox and I was so incredibly heartened! I won’t be able to get back to everyone but please know that I read the messages and I appreciate them so very much!
You all are so very sweet and I was incredibly touched by how much people care about me
How has the last year and a half treated you all? I hope you have been doing okay!
Also, I actually hoped that when I’m able to return to Tumblr, things might have gotten better regarding bullying and callout campaigns, but it seems it actually escalated even further.
I just recently found out how serious the situation has gotten so I’ll post links to other place where you can find me. I tried to back up stuff but it’s all a bit rushed. I’m not going to delete this blog, but I’m not really sure where things will go from here. Despite all its flaws, I quite liked this place. :I
I will probably not be able to interact much for now because I actually have assignments to do, but I will try to post the links at least before The Big Date. Fuck, I wish I found out about it earlier.
Hey, I just wanted to mention that I will already be gone today!
I’m gonna stay at my friends’ place since they offered to bring me to the clinic tomorrow.
Can I just say I love you for that post you just reblogged? It makes me feel relieved to know that an artist I look up to believes that. Sometimes with all the discourse on this site I feel eaten alive with guilt by the way I want to enjoy fandom.

I’m really sorry you have been struggling with feelings of guilt, anon ): I’m glad the post helped make you feel a little better, though! It’s a really good and well worded post. (And also a link to the post again just in case.)
Sometimes I get the impression that fictional characters and theoretical people and concepts tend to be prioritized over actual human beings. Yeah, dealing with real people is difficult. They’re complicated and have messy feelings and experiences that can’t be put in neat little boxes. But that’s why the black-and-white approach doesn’t work.
You know, so many fandom discussions about all these dark and upsetting topics like abuse and discrimination often appear completely devoid of any genuine warmth and compassion, and that seems very backwards to me.
I’m not sure where I was going with this and I don’t words good at the moment. If you feel guilty again, maybe it helps to remember the saying “do no harm, but take no shit.“ An anon told me about it once, and I think it’s excellent! Basically, treat others with kindness and respect, but don’t let them make their personal hangups and issues your problem. For fandom, that mostly means tagging and warning for things appropriately, and respecting people’s squicks and NOTPs in their spaces (so post and reblog stuff you like to your own blog to you heart’s content, but don’t go bother people on their blogs about stuff they don’t like.)
Anyway, I hope you’re okay! You sound like a good egg to me, anon.
It’s okay to draw fanart and write fanfiction that appeals to you, and you alone.
You’re allowed to ship whatever you want. Let me repeat this for emphasis: YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SHIP WHATEVER YOU WANT PERIOD.
Your own enjoyment and entertainment are valid reasons to write, draw, or consume something.
If this enjoyment takes the form of sexual gratification, that’s also a valid reason to writer, draw, or consume something.
Fiction does not have to be morally pure. Fiction allows us to explore things that we wouldn’t want to experience in real life, things like violence, sexual violence, drug abuse, sexual taboos, or kinks: all kinds of weird or disturbingt things, and that’s okay.
No, the narrative does not have to condemn these things explicitly.
You don’t owe other fans an explanation or apology for the things you enjoy in fiction
If someone asks you to reveal personal information, it’s okay to tell them to fuck off.
There’s no such thing as a fandom police. Whoever claims to have the authority to tell you what is or isn’t acceptable for you to enjoy, is just arrogating that right. Their strategy only works if you let them have this power, so don’t.
It’s up to each person individually to create a “safe space” for themselves.
Other people’s mental health is not your responsibilty.
Not wanting to hear about anyone’s personal trauma does not make you a bad person.
