how are you?

are you okay?  have you given yourself a break from how hard you’re working?

“ You did it.

It was tough, but you got there; and that’s what matters...

You’re amazing!

I’m proud of you❤️”

hi everyone :) how long has it been? we’re sorry about that, life got the best of our time

Mely and I have decided to put this blog to rest, for now.

I myself have been through a lot of thinking the past weeks and have come to Mely for my concerns and we’ve concluded that we’ll put the ask blog down for a rest and possibly, in the future, reopen/renew it with any new ideas/plans we’ve got for the blog...

for me personally, i really loved helping everyone, it makes me very happy knowing i could at least help with some advice and art; but sometimes, there exists this space, this void, that i cannot explain as of yet and frankly that’s lead me to some thinking...

aside all that, I am very thankful to everyone, you all helped me grow into a different person that i cannot imagine i’d be today; and I hope to do and be better as i go forward in life...

“ No you aren’t—

I mean, she could’ve handled and communicated with you about the situation in a more direct and well-mannered way;

—as for you, I hope you do understand that someone important could just as easily lose connection and just want to be distant; but even if it is like that, I’m hoping that you don’t lose hope and happiness, and to spread love as much as you did for her;

It’s alright to be feeling this way, like to be concerned? but if you do sense that she quickly wants to cut it off, I say that you don’t force both of yourselves to be together but I wish you would end it on a good note : )! but if you feel and want to fight against odds, please be careful and mindful of the situation and be prepared to face any consequences that is to come...

amidst these times, be happy to have experienced such love and cherish it in your memories to have been friends with someone like her... we’re here for you as well;

lots of love❤️ “

“Death is a hard and heavy subject for anyone to talk about, and many, just like you, are scared of it. I know that feeling well, and it's no great feeling to experience, ever.”

“Though... Just like you said before, death is inevitable. Every single human being on this earth will face death in some way, but, is it worth our entire lives to be terrified of this fact? Is it worth to live every second and moment of our lives being anxious? Or paranoid? Life is a precious gift given to us. Experience life, live in the moment and face it head-on. Don't let death terrify you, let it encourage you to live in appreciation. This may sound cheesy but, look at the beautiful pieces of earth. While yes there are some bad bits in the world, there are many little things we often overlook, so I encourage you to look in a new, and different light. Though our clock may be running, you have the choice to choose how you'll view it and spend time.”

“ Rather than to get angry, I’d suggest you have another conversation/talk/facetoface and try to go in depth about the situation; If they do admit to their faults, forgive them, and strengthen the bond between you. If they don’t...? Well—

Don’t force them to feel guilty or anything; let them say and do whatever they want and understand that it is like that for them; so what if the person does/n’t acknowledge their hurtful action?

No one is ever that low to kneel down to someone who has done them wrong...

have patience and understanding, it’ll be okay “

“You worked hard on a character’s characterization, why give up now because of what others personal analysis were?”

“You shouldn’t compare your perspective for what others say or see for that character. That’s their perspective, what is yours? No one’s viewpoint is ever the same. Which is a great thing, because why would you want to have so much of the same idea when you get even more creative? You’d be stunned at how much others prefer a unique, new viewpoint, then an old, repetitive one. For instance, let’s take some cake for an example. What if everyone in the world only baked cakes and no other desserts? Sure some people may like that and maybe accept it, But why only cakes? Why not a pie? Be that person that says you don’t want to eat a cake and then create a pie, a delicious, unique pie that was made all by you!”

“So here’s my advice to you: go back to your original ideas, expand upon them, don’t go looking back or even think about what others said about that character, and most importantly, have fun with the process. Please never compare your work others. I wish you the utmost luck for your character analysis!”

Hello everyone, my name is Mely! I am the new co-owner of Ask-Alfreds-Advice. The lovely LivelyDuilio (the owner of this Tumblr) has put me in charge to answer some of your questions or give advice. Though before I start to do this, I will like to clarify a couple of matters. One is that LivelyDuilio will still be answering and giving advice out to you all. It won't just be me all the time. Second, responses will require time, though, it should not take too long now. Then lastly, third, I will be drawing within my art style to answer questions. However, that does not mean that the art style of this blog has changed (I will try attempting to match the art style of this blog, though it will mainly be my art style). My main Tumblr you can find me is at LittleArtstyMely. Thank you all for reading, looking forward to being helpful to you lovely people!

let me explain myself, please

it’s been months since I’ve made a decent streak of updates; and I’m not even doing a good job handling the blog when it isn’t on hiatus.

for having months of hiatus: i cannot excuse myself more on how i’ve basically neglected this blog; with asks that date back 4-5 months ago; i’m probably blabbering; i’ve received messages that have made me feel beyond useless because I couldn’t say anything and actually, I feel like the advice I’d give wouldn’t even help much and so it’s stayed on my inbox; and i feel very guilty whenever i reread them..

for having you read useless [and] advice so distant and far away from the topic at hand: i easily get lost and have no good sense of focus; maybe i’ll start off with a sentence, that somehow relates well, then I’ll go offroad and just start saying things that i think helps but then i read the whole thing and then i realize it’s irrelevant,, i really want to help but i’m having some problems with myself and none of you deserve to carry that weight;

I just want everyone to be happy, but i’ve got issues with myself and i really don’t want to be giving anyone that downer;

!! but all-in-all, i’m very thankful for having you all and for making me realize things that truly change my views in life...❤️

“ Worry not about failing your exams; just having the thought of having to do well might give you a feeling of determination and willpower for your learning,,, so take that feeling, don’t rush yourself to study, learn and memorize things at a whiz, and let yourself to slowly take in and learn your studies...

Though you hear people speak as they want in your head; let them not be a hindrance to the main voice, your voice, that tells and guides you in the path that your heart and mind soughts for...

If meditation didn’t work and calm things down; we could only resist, fight and be strong against the disturbance that blocks us from reaching our goals... As you do and try methods and ways, that you say only last for a day, don’t lose hope; not everything works for everyone and that’s okay! you can adjust to anything that suits and corresponds to your wants, mood, feeling and capacity & etc.;

“ I’m glad I could be of a little help-!
