  A VERY SWEET AND LOVING FRIEND! 

I imagine on Sunday and Monday we'll be getting a lot more. *crosses fingers*

sunblades replied to your post: maybe people are avoiding “spoilers” like a plague? (though honestly i don’t see the point of this habit whenever there are new releases. -_-)

Ugh. That doesn't sound like the Arashi fandom to me. Only like a handful of people are like that, everyone else is like: "RAWR LEAK EVERYTHING" lolol~ I'm really hoping there will be more all next week.

I read your tags and immediately thought: ‘someone understaaands me!’ /treehugger alert ❤

Sophia is the name of my boyfriend's little sister, but everyone calls her Sofi. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call her by her full name except when I first asked her what her name was. We both are naturally introverted people so we don't talk that much, we usually just hug each other gently in greeting and if she has artwork, she'll show me. She always does it with a flourish that's equal parts humble, shy, and nervous and I am always unabashedly generous with positive and encouraging commentary. But she makes it easy.

You see, Sofi is a really talented young girl girl. She picked up the violin when she was 10 and in one year sounded better than most high school students. She learned how to animate her drawings, by herself, on the computer, and for her birthday her parents gifted her with a tablet where she's drawing more original fanart for Steam Powered Giraffe than that fandom would possibly ever know about because she doesn't really share it outside of her family and myself. She is painfully, awkwardly aware of what people might be thinking of her.
