hi i just want you to know it makes me so happy to see someone else love teddie so much....your art of him is so wonderful and it makes me smile real big whenever i see it! thank you for being you. you're awesome 馃憤
hehe teddie is a very important to me my special weirdguy
and thank you!! ive put so much time into drawing him, but unfortunately as of late i havent been doing that :( i plan on changing that because i really miss him even if im not that much into persona anymore
actually have my recent set of "derusting attempts to draw him again
"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist
since they have clones/replicas of the disassembly drones, i had a thought. what if when v died, her clone decided that maybe fuck all that noise and decided to try and be her own person. she got all of vs memories, but none of the personal growth, so its such a fun time for everyone and her included
(not to mention all the possible identity issues she can store in herself)
and i also just wanted to say happy belated birthday!!! 馃巶馃帀馃巵馃帄 i just want you to know that i had really fun drawing that teddie all those years ago and is actually one of my favorite works i made. even if it's not your birthday anymore, have a nice day today !!! - kai moeru tumblr management executive 馃敟
haha THANK YOU A LOT i forgor to actually mention it anywhere it was my birthday so dw about it 馃暫
I STILL LOVE THAT TEDDIE you overall draw him so Well and its one of my favorite teddie pieces Ever hes my pookieboo
I don't want to sound pretentious when i say all this (and this ended up being really long??), but i really do think you don't need to uphold your online presence so consciously, or even at all. There's nothing wrong with being "inactive" because trying to show up for everything is some sick standard social media made up. Maybe it might be difficult to uphold an idgaf personality, but i can say from my experience it could be better to try a little bit at a time.
I can say that they really do mean it when you can have quiet admirers, from my experience all the more. Maybe they're too shy to put silly tags when they reblog or just put a like on your post. And I don't think you have to worry too much about sticking to one piece of media and be afraid the people following you won't like you anymore for posting different content. At most, I just believe they won't really care enough to unfollow you or stop engaging entirely. The most important thing to me is that you stick around doing the things you actually want to do, even if you're just showing up every month or so, or black out for a year or more. Because the people who do care will be overjoyed to see you whatever you post or share, especially when you come back after a long time.
It really is discouraging when you don't see that actively, maybe because we're so used to seeing numbers that relate to our worth. But i like to imagine we're waving at each other from a distance or smiling through a window, as horrid as online landscapes can be nowadays.
I know i'm running my mouth here but i just wanted to share my experience because i um. 馃檵 also think youre really cool and awesome and i love whatever work you do and the fact you share it is an amazing thing enough i feel privelaged and youre humor is funny and whatever new stuff you post is just introducing me to things i'll also think is cool down the line and i really do wish i can share my appericiation more and evolve from being a quiet admirer /inhales/ 馃憤
i would say this is a sort of love letter from the gas station but i also mean it as kai 馃憢 i hope you're doing well in uni or that it gets better soon or in whatever it is youre doing now. and whether or not youre online, i hope youre doing the things you enjoy 馃
okay i needed some time to figure out how to respond to this ask because theres a lot (in a /pos way dont worry) so ill start off with saying that i really really and i do mean it Really appreciate what you said here. Especially lately, ive been struggling with being active online outside of small spaces where there are just me and a few other people. might be me feeling overwhelmed when i say something into the void with a high chance of no response, though i wont fault anyone for that. i myself know interaction is scary so i do get it. ever since i started using the internet ive stuck to my small online bubbles so yeah interaction kind of intimidating online
and though i agree it does feel discouraging to sometimes see no feedback or much of a reaction, i try not to be bummed out about it myself because im also a silent admirer of many artists online. so like ive said before i do understand that sometimes people are shy and dont interact directly and theres no pressure really to change that. just the idea that there are people that like what i make is really nice, even though i suffer from the same issue that maaany other artists have and i need to actively remind myself of that.
about sticking to one fandom its a very recent but big issue to me because ive been DEEP in the persona pit for like 4 years, and i certainly built an audience around that. i know there will always be people that stick around no matter what but despite that theres always that nagging feeling that maaybe things will crumble. obviously thats not true but human mind fucking SUCKS
as the final note ill say it again that your message means a lot to me and i thank you a lot for it <333 im soo flattered by your words and they made my past two days, thank you soo much
