It's my oc Maria The Chupacabra! She's hoping you feel better soon! Get well soon my friend and have a nice day! :} ❤️

Thank you for sending this, it really helps x')

Took a few days to get around but I am doing much better now ^^

Alas

You are not proving any points aside that you're still a pompous asshole and it's not going to convince anyone to change their mind about anything.

And a Varis doodle as well, finished yesterday night

Two more sketchbook sketches colored up today only I just edited to make it black and white in Krita

They are in color originally, but my phone camera doesn't capture how nice they look. Sigh, oh well

Aww, anon c’x

No one should ever make you feel less than because you have depression or anxiety. Nor should you feel insecure about it too! It’s something many of us go through and while sometimes it can be tough and there are days in which I do admit I feel very hopeless or like the sky is going fall at any moment, I realize that in the end it’s okay to reach out and ask for help or just talk to someone who is willing to listen. We don’t have to hold it all in and put on a mask and brave it out. It’s okay to reach out for help and it’s going to be okay in the long run 🫂

If anyone ever tells you that you should be a shame, makes you feel as such, and/or calls you a burden or a problem, then they are not a good friend let alone a good person.

Don’t give up, okay? I know it’s tough at times but if you ever need to talk, I’m here!

Hello, anon! And apologies to not getting to this ask sooner!

Firstly, I wouldn't call it embarrassing at all. If anything, I'd say it's both very good and thoughtful of you to even want to approach and ask! But I do understand the sentiment given I have seen MANY people get turned away or outright chased off (worse harassed after) just for asking a question like this.

And honestly, I think this is one of the best approaches to do when wanting to seek out advice and/or wanting to look further into a subject matter in general! Asking questions and approaching the people within these communities are the best source to go by! Because in doing so you end up with many different perspectives, views, and sources that can help you shape your thinking and overall understanding! However, I am VERY much aware too that this approach can be hard to do mostly for the reasons stated above, but also because sometimes some people are just unfortunately not approachable at all. Sometimes there are reasons to this which is understandable, but usually it is a vast majority that tend to be rather rude or gate keeping (yet they do encroach on others on their cultures and think its okay). Me, personally, I prefer when people ask questions and actually WANT to learn and understand cultures outside of their own. Its just much more beneficial for everyone involved while also helping open up people to new perspectives in life. I know there are some that will highly disagree with me on this, but it is what it is.

We are all entitled to our own opinions on the matter.

Another approach I think helps to this is doing lots of research on the side too. Visiting a local library is a great way to begin some of this since looking online can be a bit of an unfortunate mixed bag now with AI filtering results and feeding such while also lots of people making up bullshit along the way and people taking it as pure fact. Now, be in mind too that sometimes even books can have outdated information and do need to be taken with a grain of salt. Others can also be misleading too so again its always good to keep things with an open mind when reading up on your research!

One other thing to do is visiting local communities in the area too! Be it various Latino, Tribal/Indigenous, and mixed communities, I think surrounding oneself with the people and getting to know them on a respectful level helps that understanding more. You also get to meet a lot of wonderful people from all sorts of backgrounds with many different stories and experiences to share! Even people who are not in the community physically but are still part of it regardless of where they live have a lot of experiences to share too! Everyone's voice has something to share and say and I think its valid to hear each one.

Soon

I’m not in the fucking mood. Stop fucking DMing me. Next time you DM me, I am reporting you.

And this goes to ALL the scammers out there.
