it’s been exactly 2 years (whoa) since i posted this doodle and to this day, I believe it’s one of my most popular pieces of phan art! Thank you so much for all the support and love towards it, you’ve truly been a huge part of my motivation and inspiration when it comes to doing art~
If there’s anything I have learnt from this doodle and the comments towards it (ngl i really love seeing people outside of the phandom share their love for this doodle too) is that there is someone, be it an individual or a group of people, out there in the world beside you… for you… near you (you may know them right now, or you may stumble across them in the future) - wether it be a friend, a platonic/romantic soulmate, a companion, a partner, a family etc. etc.
And… hEY! You know what?! You are also that type of person to someone else!!! to more than one person for sure!! You matter. Your words and actions matter. Your words and actions have an impact. You have an impact. So, don’t let that opportunity to be that impact disappear. You could be or…You are the light in someone’s dark. You are strong and have made it this far. Keep going. Have fun. Be curious. Be patient. Be safe.
It will be worth it in the end.
