like… i don’t wanna be that person but be for real?? likes are cute and all but they do nothing for creators. ZERO. NADA. a reblog is literally the oxygen mask keeping this blue hellsite alive. you say you “love” a fic, an edit, a gifset? then BABES… reblog it. boost it. let it breathe.

half the time creators are out here pouring their entire soul, spine, AND three vertebrae into something just for it to get 200 likes and 3 reblogs, two of which are their own. that’s why people stop posting. that’s why fandoms feel empty. content doesn’t magically fall from the sky — it comes from people who feel seen.

and i promise you: reblogging is free. it costs you like 0.2 seconds and suddenly you’re personally responsible for keeping a whole fandom alive. congrats!! so yeah. if you like something? reblog it. scream in the tags. yell. keyboard smash. put sparkles. do whatever. just don’t let creators feel like they’re shouting into a void.

reblogs feed creators. reblogs keep fandoms thriving. reblogs literally save lives (okay maybe not literally but u get it).

i have just posted it, feel free to have a look, i edit mostly for fun and i edit a lot of different people. it takes the pressure of posting and it lets me edit anything that inspires me instead of just focusing on one thing!

i hope you like it and i really appreciate ya✨.

This really made my week, I never imagined my art inspiring somebody to make an edit and this is so lovely, truly! this is the perfect song choice and I'll never get over that tl transition (- also are you actually on twt? can I follow you if I don't already?) thank you so much for even asking me to make it in the first place bc it’s better than anything I could’ve pictured!

feeling very grateful, I appreciate YOU!

but his love for you trumped every doubt. you grew closer as you figured out how to parent again, your love for one another intensifying and funneling into the little human you had created together.

This might sound like a lot but you have no idea the impact your support (and just being the most wonderful mutual) has had on the me posting art in the first place.

You've always been one of the 1st to share my art, even just little doodles I personally thought were nothing special but the the people I've met, the friends I've made and this wonderful little niche of artists x hardcore game Joel lovers x Pedro appreciators I find myself in is largely thanks to you! 🤍

I've grown as an artist in ways I would never have imagined this last year, I've felt inspired to create unlike ever before and simply by you sharing has had such a ripple effect on the joy I find online in general (which feels kinda crazy to say considering how bleak things are rn)

this probably would've better served as a DM but I just wanted to shout from the rooftops a little how much I appreciate you and the impact you've had. this feels like a mini full circle moment and I haven't had the chance to tell you properly yet!

love + appreciate you K, I feel so grateful to know you ✨
