hello! i really hope this question isn’t too personal but i recently checked alex (alexjosten)’s twitter for the first time and their last tweet was v concerning, i was just wondering if you knew whether they’re doing okay

in true josten fashion, alex said “i’m fine” when i asked ;) i think the tweet you mean was quite old, alex just hasn’t been active in fandom for a while.

[alexjosten]

hi im alive i just forgot my twitter log in

i didnt have a stroke im fine

also im taking anti anxiety meds now so im not having heart palpitations anymore

but overall life is good now. just busy and not much time for fandom

sorry for worrying you, anon!

hiatus

i know multiple people, myself included, who need "a break" from AFTG right now, and i wonder if that's because of our fandom's inability to go two weeks without kicking up some sort of dumb drama

it's real disappointing to see content creators who've done nothing wrong being pushed out from this site and our fandom.

please consider the impact of your actions. your "call out" post might be intended for one person, but its negativity will spread to the rest of our small community and it gets exhausting to read and be on the periphery of constantly. if someone has done something wrong, approaching them with kindness and careful explanation of the issue is the best way to resolve things peacefully. i know this is exhausting when you seem to be surrounded by people making mistakes. if aggression is the only answer then perhaps you need to take a step back and just block and not engage.

i come to tumblr and to fandom to relax and disengage after working a high stress job during the day. if every time i come here all i can see is people making posts about "oh welp there's more drama again" then it just keeps my anxiety levels up. it's not healthy. so i need a break. i'm really sorry to readers who have been patiently waiting for the next chapter of HDS, i'll need some more time before i feel ready to come back to it.

Can I request some teen Andrew or emo kid Andrew bc like we all just KNOW he totally listen to all the emo type stuff lol

I am sure he does! Just never imagined him as an ‘emo kid’, just a kid sitting in the back of the class wearing far too large hoodies, wanting to be left alone

first batch of that “draw in your friends’ styles” meme from twitter!! decided to do neil the bae… i have a lot more to go through rip :)

[pigeon-princess]

I’ve been procrastinating all of my uni assignments while drawing these. I had to post these now or else I’ll end up drawing the entire cast of The foxhole court, don’t tempt me I’ll do it. 

[alexjosten]

y'all realise by using *s to censor riko moriyama's name, you're essentially voldemorting him and giving the name power, right?

[plagalkey]

kandreil gives me life

[sdeek]

I saw around there different designs for the “foxhole court” characters and I decide to draw my onw version♡ (hope to draw something better of them in the future)

i don’t know why this even needs saying, but poly relationships aren’t for everyone. “love triangles” that happen in real life can’t always be solved by a threesome. your partner cheating on you (or vice versa) is not a result of “toxic monogamy culture”. an unhealthy relationship won’t be made healthy by introducing another person. if you haven’t told your partner that you’re poly prior to entering the relationship, they have every right to be upset if you suddenly want to date or sleep with people who aren’t them. monogamy is not inherently bad or restrictive. and polyamory is not inherently freeing. 

[kipplekipple]

And also, from my years of experience, you can still cheat in polyamorous relationships. It might look different, but cheating means breaking specific boundaries in your relationship, and those boundaries differ from relationship to relationship. Being polyamorous doesn’t mean having no boundaries.

A hurt/comfort andreil comic, or andrew being angry at neil for being an idiot (it’s his own way of being nice ok) 

I forgot why I don’t do comics, even short ones : I just don’t have the patience. After two pages, i’m bored. Also, I can’t write good short scripts, or keep the style consistent, or make the characters looks like themselves and all those other necessary things in comics. Do that mean that I will stop trying to do comics? Heck no. (Those who’ve been following for long enough might remember my numerous attempts at webcomics……..) I want to do more short (less than 5 pages) comics before I get started on something longer, so I can hopefully find a style that’s practical and fun for comics!!
