i just wanna take a moment here to remind everyone who follows me that i love you guys. the fact that you chose to follow me because you want to see my creations means the world to me, because when i first started doing this i was convinced my work wasn’t that good (and i’ve DEFINITELY improved over time), and to see that you guys actually enjoy seeing what i make makes my day better.

i also want to say that lately, i do this more for fun than anything else, and i have a christmas day surprise for those of you that follow me, so please keep your eyes out for that in the run up to christmas.

and lastly, i want to thank the wonderful people in the commissioning community, from @venuscommissions​ and @goodvibesrph​, who get a first hand look at my work and will immediately tell me if something is too similar to the work of themselves or another creator (and often let me see their work first hand too, which is an honour in my opinion), to just the people who post their work for people to see, you’re all amazingly talented human beings, and i feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this community.

so anyway i’m done being sappy for today, but if any of you ever feel lonely, or just want a friend, or anything like that, my ims are always open, they’re not just for commissions, and i would love to get to know as many of you as possible better.

i wanna reblog this here and add an extra thank you note to this fandom,

without you guys i never would’ve gotten started doing commissions, i never would’ve been able to afford my wheelchair, and i never would’ve known where to start with what to make without you guys suggesting things you wanted to see when i first started and was doing commissions and psds solely on here as a way to raise money for my wheelchair.

i’ve been in this fandom since i was 13 (2012 was a different time dudes), and now, almost 7 years later, i’m really proud to call this place a kind of home. it’s full of the friendliest people i’ve ever met, i’ve made friends who’ve seen me grow up here, and i’m really emotional ok because you guys are like a family to me.

It had felt like almost an eternity since Pavel Chekov had last laid eyes on one Willow Kirk. They had tried their best to make long distance work, with video calls & PADD messages, but it just didn’t feel the same as it had before. Heading up towards Willows quarters, Pavel wasn’t very sure about what to expect, but that apprehension disappeared as soon as he saw her in the flesh again.

“What do you expect? Of course I did!”

           she  smiles  the  second  he  speaks,  laughter  passing  pink  lips  as  she  melts  into  their  usual  routine.      ❛   good,  because  i  missed  you  too.   ❜      pale  arms  wrap  around  him  then,  and  she’s  missed  everything  about  this,  how  warm  he  is,  the  smell  of  him,  every  single  detail.       memories  could  never  have  done  it  justice.       ❛   six  months,  and  my  lungs’ll  be  done,  after  that,  you’re  stuck  with  me  forever.   ❜

“Y-YOU DON’T TH-TH-THINK I KN-KNOW THAT?” Yes, the aquarium needs much MUCH better tech, and he has talked to the higher ups about it, but, like always, it’s all about the budget. He sights as he props himself atop the table and brings his gaze over to Willow, “Wh-what are you even d-doing b-back here? You kn-know you’re nnnot allowed in this area.” He knows full well that doesn’t stop her, though. 

          she  pauses  then,  looking  up  at  him,  a  deadpan  expression  on  her  face.      ❛   fixing  your  tech.      obviously.      i’m  small  and  sneaky,  you  can’t  keep  me  out.   ❜      she  offers,  before  turning  back  to  her  work,  swapping  her  screwdriver  for  a  wrench.
