#follower spotlight

I’ve been hella busy- I got my wisdom teeth removed and summer homework and planning for vacation etc etc but I didn’t forget!

Also many apologies for getting any avatars wrong, I took these screenshots before Pride so if you’ve changed your avatar than my deepest apologies. I’m in a rush atm since my flight leaves 6am tomorrow and I’m still not finished packing ^^’

If you do want your avatar in this sketch changed to the one you have now or yeah please leave me a message and I’ll fix it after I come back from vacation

Our third follower spotlight~

My apologies for getting the follower spotlight out so late! A lot of things have been going on but I haven’t forgotten about it~

So these three! They haven’t done anything special persay- but they all are some of my first followers and they still support me with the likes and reblogs they continue to do to this day. Unlike the first three back in March- they haven’t messaged or sent asks or anything like that but they were just there to see my content, which means more than you may think.

Thank you all three of you~!

Heya! If you guys aren’t aware- I truly am grateful for ALL your support and love and uuuuugh it’s what keeps me going. Man ya’ll are the reason I’m so motivated to give daily Antarcphos content ^^

So at the end of each month I’m choosing three followers to do a “spotlight” on! It’s my way of thanking YOU for everything!

This first ever Follower Spotlight goes to fandomoctopus, bunphos, and winter-chill: the first three followers that helped me kickstart my profile and truly began to make me feel wanted.

Winter-chill has been the first few to have found my mess of a profile back in the beginning of March and helped push me forward by liking my first several sketches. They weren’t very flashy and my art back then was very... meh- but later down the line they helped add content through asks! I was so excited when I got my first ever ask- I legit started tap dancing in happiness ^^

Shoutout to you Winter-chill! I hope you continue to enjoy my content! ^^

fandomoctopus has reblogged EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of my posts- and they always have the most wonderful hashtags- just reading them makes my heart flutter with joy~ Sometimes I post HOPING they’ll see it cuz every single time they don’t disappoint- they have been a very reliable source of self-esteem boosting and love that I just... aaaaaah I’m just so happy to have attracted someone like that!

Thank you fandomoctopus! I hope I don’t let you down moving forward! ^^

bunphos has also been one of the first few to have found me and began liking all my sketches. All of them. They didn’t do anything flashy or extra- they didn’t submit asks or reblog all my sketches (or perhaps they did-) but it was their constant support through likes and a SINGLE message saying “I really love your work” that gave me motivation to produce more content! Trust me, a little goes a long way!

Salutes to you bunphos! Please continue being your awesome self! ^^

As I’ve said, I love ALL of you and ALL of your support is WONDERFUL. It’s just that shouting everyone out would be a paaaaaaaain and I figured choosing three supporters at the end of each month would be easier (hope you understand). These three had a similar theme to them: they all were supporters from the very beginning and helped me through a seriously dark time I was having behind the screen. I was at quite an all-time low with myself, my art, my skills, and I was just not happy with who I was. I mean, who doesn’t have times when they aren’t, right? Except for me, my art was going through some RADICAL changes in style- I was hopping from one style to the next and never happy with the results, I was so frustrated that no matter what I drew; I was never proud of it. Never happy with it. It was an art-style crisis. I started downgrading myself- and that little voice inside your head that whispers “you suck”? Yeah. It never goes away.

Except for me- I face that voice and say- “alright, then come on- let’s fail together”. So this profile happened. Don’t get me wrong- my love of HnK and Antarcphos is genuine- but my love for myself was just... no where. So I decided- I’m going to step into this and if I fail- great, now I know where to go. But I didn’t, thanks to these three, and all of you.

So from the bottom of my heart...

Thank you for supporting me. I promise I won’t let you down ^^

**NOTE!!!

This week’s first Follower Spotlight goes to @julies-andrews​! I am a huge fan of this blog and the content that she produces (her gifs are absolutely amazing). It’s a multifandom blog, and I never tire of seeing her stuff on my dashboard.

Everyone should go and give her a look! 

Oh aren’t you a cute one~

I’m glad you reached out to me! I’m always up for a chat sometimes aha shoot me a message and we can totally start talking ^^

so when we decided to hold a contest to celebrate all of you amazing people that follow us, we realized there was one little problem -one of our followers also happens to be the reason our count nearly doubled a little while back, getting us to this crazy number. she also happened to be one of the reasons we started our lil tribute to fitzsimmons

so we decided to make an extra category affectionately called Best Dani for the follower that brought an amazing number of you all here:

As part of destielfanfic’s anniversary celebration, here is a follower spotlight by wisepuma23!

About: I actually got into Supernatural about more than a year ago; I was still very new to tumblr and I have the seen the funny gifs and the weird context but I still decided not to watch it. At least, not until my cousin nudged me to watch from the very beginning. I was hooked right from the first drop of blood (too soon?). I greatly enjoyed the exploring of the different legends and myths as they came to life, and before I knew it, I was interested in the two handsome boys looking for their father. I was on the edge of my seat at the end of No Rest for the Wicked, when Dean went to Hell; I had to know what happened next. Also, I want to note here that I was a causal shipper of Wincest, and my OTP was Sam x Jess at this point in time. I wasn’t prepared for the flashy opening Castiel in Lazarus Rising - so unlike the own introduction of the boys in season one that I was shocked at this Angel swooping in and showing everyone up. Every single time that Castiel showed in the next few episodes, I became less wary of Castiel and realized that Dean seemed to have a certain…..’fondness’ towards him. The End and Free to be You and Me - those episodes were the final nails in the coffin that I shipped the two of them, very hard. Those two episodes bled such emotion and turmoil that I couldn’t keep the wool on my eyes any longer. These two guys had a chemistry that couldn’t be faked - romantic chemistry. And now I was watching Supernatural for completely different reasons. Yes, the daily hunts were still awesome but I waited patiently for Cas to come back. I ship Destiel because it wouldn’t be a typical gay couple scripted in just to be ‘modern,’ but would actually be fleshed out and connected on a deeper level of intimacy. Don’t get me wrong, Dean and Cas are very macho and kick ass dudes, so it would be even more tough to admit feelings that they’ve been hiding for a very long while (those idiots). Also, I like to believe that if there's anything worth fighting for, it's Destiel. It could be historic.

Destiel Fanfic Highlights: Out of the Deep [NC-17, 489,000 word count]

Stay away from the light-beds. Stay in the deep. It is the first thing hatchlings are taught the moment their fans unfurl and they can swim without their parents to buoy them along. It is the first rule, the first law. It is the beginning of every boogey-monster bedtime story told when they settle against the cliffs to sleep. Castiel should have listened better.

Out of the Deep by riseofthefallenone: My very first fanfic that I actually read in my introduction to destiel fanfiction and I knew that I was here in the long haul. It’s an emotional story between mer!Cas and Dean - two different species but they fight evil bosses, douche-y people, and despite all of that, they would find each other even from opposite ends of the Atlantic. It was a beautifully touching story that I would probably download for long road trips whenever I finish my own books, it’s a must-read for any newcomers into the destiel fandom.
