The original friend who I was trying to teach about 'blorbo' took this whole conversation very well :3

Two characters, one big one small [or shifters], that start out incredibly untrusting and anxious of each other's intentions and pasts. But then over time, despite each of their flaws, they show that deep down they are both good people that want to care and trust for someone.

They start showing little bits of this through tiny gestures.

The giant respecting that the tiny has anxieties about being picked up without warning. The Tiny noticing the nervous way the giant looks at them, and how they lower their voice when speaking to avoid scaring them or seeming overpowering. The tiny then, against their better judgement, giving them a gentle touch to their retracted hand for the first time. The tiny falling asleep near the giant for the first time ever, despite their powerful anxiety about being vulnerable. The giant [shifter] expending all their energy in protecting the tiny, and then collapsing, exhausted and shrunken down, trusting the tiny with them in their most powerless state. The tiny going out of their way to hang out with the giant for no reason. The slow disappearance of the tiny's jumps and flinches whenever the giant steps or sits down near them, or when they laugh a little 'too' loudly. They start to laugh along with them.

That means I'm finally back online and ready to dive back into projects like @the-harvester and @gemsontherocks ! Missed you guys, but I had to LOCK THE FUCK IN.

The animation will be shared online after I've proposed, which has not been planned yet! You guys will be the first to see it though~ (Corrie knows it's done but obvs has not seen it yet)

so you may have noticed my extreme quiet lately- I have been getting a lot of doc's appointments finally done.

For six years now, we've had reason to believe that I had a brain tumor bad enough to cause some pretty problematic shit. BUT. tHANK GOD, I finally got a doc to take me seriously and give me an MRI, and I'm all clean! My brain is perfectly [physically] healthy! It took a huge weight off my shoulders that'd been growing since 2019, and I've been a little high on life for a while and taking a break from all my social medias. It's been very, very good for my mental health. I feel lighter, and I've been able to take more time to go outside and /do/ things.

32 years of never breaking a bone has been, well, broken. Fell while out in the dark last night and sprained AND broke my right ankle last night. I'll be bedridden for the next 2ish months. It hurts like a BITCH when pain meds aren't in effect, and I have yet to find out if it needs surgery. Left knee got fucked up to, so I'm trying to function with BOTH legs busted up.

Just thought I'd update y'all.

I've got a wonderful girlfriend and some friends taking care of me, so I'll be okay, but man. What a mortifying ordeal to experience for the first time. Can't even put my pants on without a 3-minute long quick time event.

If you guys can spare anything, my wallet is gonna take a hit from the medical equipment I need to heal, and the more frequent food I'm gonna have to order. I'm the main cook in the house. My ko-fi is here, but don't feel pressured to give anything.
