#logging off...

(( Because I’ve been absent these past few months, I’ve only just now learned of Kizzy’s passing.  I may not have known her well, certainly not beyond “the mun behind dailytypenull”, but she still had an impact on me, and I feel remiss to let that go unsaid.

It was Noah’s adventures that opened my mind to potentially starting an ask blog.  I’d thought that ask blogs were either selective rp focuses, or had to have some sort of overarching plot in the forefront.  And yet here was Kizzy and Noah, providing a fun little romp that certainly brightened my day.  And so, no more than a week after I discovered that blog, I had the bare bones thought up for Sev, with Idry joining the “plot” mere days after that. 

I also think this blog wouldn’t have reached the expanse of followers it has without her sending Noah my way in the blog’s early days.  At the very least, it wouldn’t have grown as fast as it did.  And because of that, she was indirectly the catalyst for the greatest artistic improvement I’ve ever had, at least since I first picked up a pencil and decided to draw.  And I will never not be thankful for that.  I’ve learned so much in the aftermath of just one, simple ask.

So, I may not have known her, not in any sort of “traditional” manner.  But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to remember her every time I look down at some new piece of mine, and remember how far I’ve come.  And I can only hope to keep improving from here, as my own little tribute to the person who, however indirectly, gave me the courage to get out there and learn.
