❂ Pixie ❂

This is probably going to be a long ask I'm sorry 😭

I got into Undertale and the AUs when I was like nine I think and I'm like thirteen now and sans aus have been such a huge comfort to me!

I discovered your tiktok account around a year ago and you inspired me so much immediately! Your characters were so cool - Smudge was the first one I saw.

Sadly I stopped watching your account for a long time because I deleted my tiktok account but I remembered you a couple of weeks ago and was like GAHH I HAVE TO FOLLOW PIXIE!

I have been at a low - girl I'm like Ink, I have such a fear of being forgotten- I want to make an impact in this fandom and I thought I couldn't but then I was like 'wait...' and you've given me inspiration to make a blog called askbittersweet!

Maybe I won't get asks, but you gave me the inspiration and confidence to and you're just so important to me!

this was supposed to sound so much cooler but my words failed.....

also your art style is so pleasing lol! I had a lucid dream where I had your artstyle it was kinda weird but it was cool n stuff (jeez lousus i'm bad at talking)

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY AND NIGHT AND WEEK AND YEAR YOU'RE SO COOL <333333

Awww thank you!! I got into the Undertale AUs when I was about 11/12 and now I'm turning 19 in a few hours, so I definitely relate to that sense of comfort!

And thank you for your support. :3 I've been working every day to give everyone content they can like. I love this community and honestly it's my honour to be giving everyone content that they enjoyed. Secret be told, I didn't think anyone would like my work considering my writing isn't all fluff and sunshine, but I was completely blown out of the water with support and love from such amazing individuals. I've met and made friends with so many amazing individuals, each fan interaction I have makes my absolute week because there is nothing I love more than cooking up content.

I wish you luck on your own content journey! As long as you have a passion for what you do? There is only one way for you to go and that's up. Since I'm feeling nice today, I'll give you a few tips ٩( ᐛ )و

★ Use what's trending to your advantage -

Tik tok, Tumblr, Twitter/X all follow an algorithm of sorts, if you see bunch of videos following the same pattern... Take the leap! Make sure to add your own spin on it, not only will that help you stand out but copying others makes a story so bland, bleh!

★ Be brave, be confident -

I know putting yourself out there can be scary, it's literally throwing yourself on a stage and slowly building an audience hoping you'll attract your kind of people. But you'll never get anywhere if you stand around timidly and be too scared of that attention. Sell yourself, be brave, what makes you different from everyone else? What makes you special? What makes your amazing work so amazing? What can you do to bring something different to this multi verse?

(For me? I can bring adorable characters with a horror aspect, but what makes me different? There's no one quite like our lovely princess Smudge, is there?)

★ Don't be afraid of interacting with people but withstand your boundaries.

Unless those people are total dickwads and have no life, making interactions with people is a great place to start. You'll build a solid support system, people who aren't just interested in your stories but genuinely want to see you thrive! Little side note- don't let people stand on you either. I've had many a time where people thought they could push my boundaries and got kicked to the curb. Don't be a door mat, how will anyone respect your characters if they don't respect their creator?

★ Last but certainly not least - believe in yourself!

Okay, this one is a little corny and I know what you're probably thinking. 'But Pixie, I have low self confidence and esteem. Being confident doesn't come naturally.' And I'm super sorry to hear that. You're a wonderful person with flaws, but those flaws don't undermind your best traits one bit. If you don't believe in it, believe in us to believe in you. Would there be hundreds of people lying to your face? Really? No. There would be some merit behind their words, right? I faked it till I made it. Now? I have the ability to trust my own talent. I find love in my work and in my characters. I can only hope you do too, you can do amazing things if you set your mind to it. That's something I live by.

Please don't insult me like that bestie ik my old art sucked but I was a preteen and doing art style studies 😭

Shino was canonically 14 in 2020, which means now she's almost 18, and I'm 99% sure Smudge is a child. and from what I've been told, you ship them. so you're shipping a child with someone who is almost an adult.

Okay, woah hold on.

Firstly: Hi, it's nice to meet you.

Secondly:

Whenever I draw Smudge and Shino together. I will always draw them as best friends. I did originally ship them but that was BEFORE I made the discovery of Shino being much older as all the artwork I've seen of her has depicted her as around Smudge's age.

I no longer ship Shino with smudge because not only would it be strange as hell to ship a 6 year old with a character who does age with time (Smudge remains six for the sake of continuity until she grows older and leaves)

I originally struggled to find Blue Kohina's account and believe they deactivated it but after I found it and discovered that Shino is now canonically a teenager, I dropped it like it was a burning plate.

To be entirely honest, I think I prefer Shino and Smudge as best friends because I've come to realise Smudge doesn't need a love interest to develop herself and her story.

And if it is relevant to your case, let's just say I still shipped Smudge and Shino:

Smudge also grows to be 18. Her story continues with her realising the abuse she's experienced and flees, her story then continues. I haven't announced this yet because I'm not active on my tumblr and prefer my tiktok which you can easily find.

Shino is oftened depicted as a child in both fan art and fan fiction and if this had been brought to me sooner, I would've known. Shino and Smudge are purely friends. Please don't accuse me of being a "proshipper" based on evidence that has been outdated. You can talk to me over discord if you'd like because I will never ever condone proshipping and find it repulsive.

Do my stories have dark content? Yes.

Will my stories ever depict pedophilia, incest, rape or anything of the sort? No.

Shino and Smudge grow up together story-wise and will be nothing more than friends.
