Hey, I hope you’re doing okay.

I’m doing a bit better today, thanks anon.

This month has just not been the month for me, I guess

Meeting and having convos with people who are genuinely into your OCs and actually want to learn more about them really does things to your self esteem and motivation, I’m telling you.

I recently joined a discord server for black artists and omg, the support there has been amazing! The way everyone is so supportive and encouraging of each other is just....mind blowing!

It’s nice being around people you can talk about your OCs with and have genuine interest in instead of having To deal with one way convos.

it was like so validating to post ocs and see ppl go “WOAH 🥺🥺💖💕💕💕” or asking questions about them and about their story.

Even better, it’s never ONE WAY! It’s a mutual exchange with everyone and doesn’t feel like a competition for attention.

All my oc exchanges have either been “Oh, okay, that’s nice.” or those “Yeah whatever, ANYWAYS let’s go back to talking about my OCs again!” people or just straight up being ignored. And it has worn me down over the years and makes talking to those people a mentally and emotionally exhausting because they just want to keep the focus on themselves instead of sharing. It becomes less of a conversation and more of an echo chamber.

But this server is such a breath of fresh air for me and I’m so grateful to it. It has done wonders for my motivation for Lucette because I’m already halfway done with Ch17.

So yeah, I just wanted to say that. Pretty thankful for it.

Wait, Cassandra is gay?!

She sure is!

Mal got me thinking about Artorias and Lucette father/daughter dance at her wedding.

It’d be a moment of whispered affection and congratulations from father to daughter. Lucette reassuring him that Koray is the one for her and that he makes her happy.

Artorias responding with “I hope he makes you endlessly happy, starlight. For all of your days. And your nights ;)”

That of course gets a laugh out of her.

“I am certain he will. As I am certain the Great Lion does for you, Papa.”

”Most certainly.”

The laughter keeps the tears Artorias wants to shed, at bay for a little bit but some still escape anyways.

As Mal has said, Artorias is a sap with family things and he will be very much a crybaby during the wedding. She’s no longer the tiny, scared little child he found in the woods nor the fiery tempered teenager he had to hunt down after curfew. His baby is all grown up now and has a husband and will eventually have a family of her own.

And that was something he both celebrated and mourned at the same time.

I’m really fucking bored. There’s nothing to do besides draw and there’s only so long you can draw before you get tired of it. Soooo, I’m accepting questions at this time.

You’re allowed to spam my inbox, even with chaotic things. And you can ask the cast and the aus anything too.

Go wild.
