Hi! I use to visit your blog all the time as a teenager and it was always this secret guilty pleasure for me since instead of religiously being obsessed with sonic like most kids, It was Kirby for me and this was one of my main escapes. I constantly checked up on this blog and other Kirby role-players like Ask Great King Dedede, it was such a habit of mine that during school I pulled up your blog on one of the school computers and quickly panic closed it at ultra light speed when I realized what I was doing. I think you can probably imagine how classmates at that age would react if they knew you frequented a blog about homo-erotic puffballs that morphed genders and became pregnant... Still though as silly as it might sound I feel like your blog was a really important tool that helped me explore some inner feelings at that confusing phase and I really appreciate everything you've done here. Even if you aren't as active as you use to be, it still really warms my heart to see this blog and story-line continued in some capacity where-as most of the other Kirby blogs I use to visit are all barren.
Anyhow though your artstyle really inspired me to start exploring digital art as well and It's led me to pursue animation as a career. I loved your story telling from the silly "anon magic" that lead to some pretty funny scenarios, to the serious comics that you painted gorgeously. I almost created my own Kirby blog to roleplay as NOVA but I was just too shy, in real life and In the online space, to openly participate in the community. Just watching you do your thing was A-ok for me. There's so much more I want to say like how I was even there to watch a couple of your really old live streams where you played some game that I can't remember for the life of me, It was like one of those 2d indie horror games that youtubers like Pewdiepie use to play and I think it started off in an art museum? Regardless all I just wanted to say thank you and this community for existing. Peace
((omg ;v; I just wanna say, I really enjoyed reading this! It still boggles my mind that people have been following this account since they were young! It doesn't feel like the account is that old, but in reality, it is lol
And don't worry, my account feels like a guilty pleasure to myself |D
As weird as it probably sounds, my blog actually helped me learn more about trans people, as well as learning how to write a gay couple as just any other couple with ups and downs. Although the drama I wrote was well out of the ordinary lol I was never good at writing stories in school (or any sort of creative writing lol), but I felt like I got to write freely and draw what I wanted without the fear of getting a bad grade. I got my fair share of judgement but people enjoyed what I put out, and that kept me going c:
I'm glad my art inspired you to get into digital art and pursue animation though! I can't explain how much that means to me! I never intended for my art to be an inspiration, but it really makes me happy that it had that effect ;v; I wish you all the best in your future career!
Now I would say to go ahead and make your NOVA blog, since the community is very welcome and open, but it's pretty much dead now on tumblr |'D I would have liked to have seen what you would have done with it. Who knows, it may revive again in the future or start fresh elsewhere c:
As for the game, it was called Ib! I'm honestly surprised you even remember those ancient streams lol
Anyway, thank you so much for the kind message~ ;v; Stuff like this really make me feel like the effort I put into this blog was really worth something. I feel I should also thank the people who pulled me into this community years ago lol But yes, have a good rest of your life, and as I said, good luck with your future career~ ))
