Here it is, the embarrassing sappy thank you post.
Crazy... how quickly the end arrives, like the sun after light rain. I'm so grateful to have been able to do this week! I will admit that it was just my drawings, my fics and an amazing drawing by a mutual of mine, but this week still is a gift. I decided to do this week just to show my love for it (and maybe also others) and I hope that it is felt in each wonderful creation for this week.
Unlike my mutual who actually worked during the week like you're supposed to, (props to her tbh!!) I started getting ready for YukaEso Week a whole 8 months before hand. This was mostly because I wanted to write fics AND drawings, and both things take a while for me so... that's on me. Especially fic writing. I broke down once suddenly because I got worried that people would get mad at me for writing Yuka and Esora out of character for chapter 6. (And I think I had those worries for no reason lol) My older sibling had to see me be my worst a LOT when I was readying my fics and drawings for this week. (I thank them so much for dealing with me) In addition, I did not want to be busy/held up with anything for this whole week. I worked really hard (and eventually) passed my really important exams for school simply because the retakes clashed with YukaEso Week. Because of those actions, I'll have an easier time going to university. That's another aspect that shows how devoted I am to these two dummies, I guess.
This whole week was a labor of love, literally. I have never put so much effort into drawing and writing until now. I learned a lot and maybe grew a lot as an artist because of this week, which I am very thankful for. I might not do this type of thing in a while (depends in a year, we'll see) but I'm glad I did it nonetheless! It was fun planning this week. It was so fun thinking up the prompts and what people could have done with them! Seeing new people comment on my fics that they have started to grow interested in YukaEso or that my writing is good just... makes me overjoyed from Neptune and back. I will never forget what this week as shown me about people's perception of myself.
To end off this sappy and cheesy post I'm already super embarrassed about, the official YukaEso day is September 8 (9/8) and I will (try) to make a drawing for it every year until I lose interest in D4DJ!
See you next time I do this~!
