Oh shit I finally remembered to tell you this (for some reason I only remember to send you this ask while I'm driving 2 work rip) BUT idk if you remember someone sending you a message back when you made a deebeedee detective oc obsessed with catching gf but the message was "your oc reminds me of 'hand me my shovel I'm going in' by will wood" and well
From that moment on I've been listening to will wood on the daily and his music even helped me give up alcohol for good, get me into my current favorite podcast, AND inspiring me to want to draw again.
But if it weren't for you and your lil tumblr community idk how bored and uninspired I'd be today so thank you both.
Omg!!! ;_; 💖 I THINK PERHAPS the person who messaged me about that was my sister @wa3jetisbestpony ?? (Whomst can correct me if I'm wrong) but I do remember someone did tell me that yes! And they were correct (about my oc!)
Trying to formulate a response worthy of how big a' deal this ask is but my brain's kinda fried from doing a bunch of chores all day, but also I don't want this to sit in my ask box until it gets buried and lost so..!! Waah!!!
It means so much to me to hear this, that I had such a major positive impact on your life, inadvertently but! Just like by me being myself and enjoying things, which is kind of a big deal for me to hear because I've been going through a lot of regression irt like, not feeling ashamed to like things or talk about what I like, thanks to some really toxic circumstances and stuff,,, I remember a couple months ago venting to my partner I missed when I was less shameless on tumblr, when I was inspiring people to also have fun and be themselves, and I worried that perhaps I was failing other folks as much as failing myself because I also remember when people would outright tell me I was a positive influence.
In fact this topic came up in therapy too recently, and it's been a target area to work on like my next session I'm supposed to do a show and tell like literally practice talking about something I like without feeling like I'm swallowing glass (like legit that's how bad it's gotten)
Anyway getting sidetracked just, makes me think about a lot and do some reflecting, something to bring up in therapy too like get a little more in depth about and mention this recent testimonial and the way it makes me feel ... which is all sorts of good but also like longing, and other feelings, lots of emotions
And I appreciate you sending this at all just putting YOURSELF out there too and how important some little things ended up being to you, I'm genuinely so glad and also so grateful and honored, it means so much to me, I really just want to be this person for others but also myself, it's like, if I can be free, I'm not only happier but also role-modeling happiness, idk again this is my fried brain speaking
I remember thinking about that oc a couple months ago because I haven't done anything with him in a while but my brain was like well its DUMB AND STUPID anyway, well clearly not, clearly it mattered to at least 1 person on earth, I need to remember this
Many congratulations on your sobriety and podcast and inspo though!!! That's all so awesome and I'm happy for you!!!!! Yayayaaya !💖💖💖
