#I just wanna put Eclair in Neuvillette's lap so they can kiss! I need people pulling strings behind them to get them closer!

I’m a little late to say this, but I don’t even understand how you get hate. Genuinely. Every time you update, I’m excited to read about Eclaire and Neuvilette, and I’m AroAce! Like, I wanna draw fan art of your OC because her design and story is cool. So, don’t let the hate get ya down, because you def have a lot of people who like your work!
WAAAA THANK YOU FOR LOVING HER SO MUCH 🥹💙 I always get those little moments of putting her back in the box because I know a lot of people coming around are here for my x reader drabbles, but I just can't help it. I love her sm,,,their ship makes me so happy and I love imagining all the situations that they might get into! The fact that other people feel the same way and even want to draw her makes me so unbelievably giddy like, you all really don't understand how much that means to me!
In terms of the hate I get...it's usually because of her appearance. Which, you know, really sucks but it's (unfortunately) something I'm very used to in a lot of fandom spaces. One of the biggest issues I've always had with character creation and self shipping/inserting is the fact that people are just weird about brown folks. Anything from "you don't fit the aesthetic of [insert franchise]" to "[insert character] wouldn't be into black girls". It's an absolutely batshit take that I'll never understand because it's like...what is the actual difference between me having fun and doing what I'm doing and someone else doing the same thing? There isn't one; I'm not doing anything that they aren't doing. I just look different.
It's not a new phenomenon that cropped up suddenly when I started posting more in the genshin fandom, but it does start cranking up whenever more people see my work. It stings, but I'm not going to stop making characters that look like me because of it. I want brown people in fantasy and I'm gonna put them in there 🤷🏾‍♀️
All that to say that some people suck, some people are amazing, and I'm in love with my big tiddy detective wife. She's not going anywhere 💙
