wow.
so that keytaur post really blew up, huh. it's got 3,000+ thingies on it now. that is, without a doubt, the high score for most interactions anything i've drawn has ever gotten.
i haven't acknowledged it at all because i'm actually kinda terrified of all social media that isn't, you know, my actual day-to-day friendships, which don't happen on tumblr.
but yes! i am thankful that the tumblaudience likes that one. truthfully, i only come to this site to post a thing now and then, or rarely to scoop up some silly animal gifs (i like to use them for lock screens on my phone), after which i slip back into the inky void like a transdimensional garden eel.
as a result of being a slightly paranoid recluse on top of having memory issues (thanks, gabapentin!β’οΈ) i tend to forget this place exists almost immediately after making a post here, too. but somehow i also manage to maintain a low-level nervousness about it. people looking at things i did a while ago and not having much control over where it ends up, i think, freaks me out a little bit. you have to remember i've been on the internet a long, long time. (i am in my mid thirties and have been terminally online for most of it. and i've got some of that neurodivergent, uh, spiciness. have i mentioned?)
but yeah. without fail, every few days, there's another surge of supportive (i think. i hope?) reblogs on that one-off character design i doodled up. and that somehow does feel validating, in a way. even if also low-key anxiety-generating.
so anyway, that's my heartfelt, uh, thank you.
i do really appreciate the fact that so many people thought that was cool, or funny, or artistically inspirational somehow.
well, that's all from me. back to the hole in the seafloor...
be excellent to each other.
(and go make some art!)
