hey! happy new year! i just wanted to say i still love your art and your writing even after all this time since you stepped away from jayvik (understandably so tbh). this isn't me pressuring you to come back or anything along those lines. i just hope that you know your art really is so breathtaking and inspiring. i only wish the fandom wasn't so... like /that/ and that things were kinder. and i hope that you'll never be treated like they've treated you ever again in the future because your creative works deserve to be seen, loved, and cherished. and you deserve to be able to make them at your own free will and time, you are just a person too after all! i would hate for any future works of yours to be limited like they have been with jayvik. i don't expect this to be posted or anything, i just wanted you to know! take care, and i'm wishing you all the absolute best. :))

Happy New Year Anon! Thank you so much for caring enough to send this kind a message ❤️

I’m glad the art I made at that time made you and others happy! that’s all that matters, honestly.

I do think it was a lesson I needed to learn re: how much online spaces have changed, and how comfortable I personally am being publicly and actively part of fandoms when they’re at peak popularity.

all in all, i’m doing great and I hope you are too!!

okay just discovered your blog and am IN LOVE with your Walker and Leah percabeth works.

if you ever do any more I would die! I adore your artstyle and aspire to be an animator when I'm older. you are so talented!

Omg that’s so kind of you to say, thank you!! I am doing more, actually so hopefully that brings a smile to your face :3!

Good luck on the animator journey!!! I’ll be rooting for you 🫶

heyy i just wanted to ask if you deleted that one fanart you made of percabeth in the volcano its my favorite percy jackson art like ever but i can’t find it on twitter or here anymore i was wondering why

Hi! if you search the percabeth hashtag on my blog you should still be able to find it! I just checked, and it seems the post got accidentally flagged by t*mblr but it should still be visible?

It’s also still up on my twitter, so I don’t know why you couldn’t see that one but I did not delete it I promise :3!

forgot to post here for a hot minute, an old percabeth wip I reworked following season 2 release 🧢

I don’t know if any of you will remember the bottom piece, but I finally finished this Alex Stern fanart and I’m quite happy with it so, here goes nothing!

hi! first off, LOVE your art style :) and also loving how you did fem jayvik in particular!!

bit of an odd question sorry, but for context: i've been working on writing a fem jayvik daemon au for a little bit and was browsing tumblr a bit ago and came across your designs for them and like. they IMMEDIATELY spoke to me more than most of the other fem designs for them i've seen with regards to what i've been kind of vaguely picturing in my head for them in the fic haha. would you be okay if i used your designs for them as like. the basis for my descriptions for them in the fic itself? if not no sweat at all :) hopefully this makes sense LMAO

Hi! Thank you so much for coming to me with this, I deeply appreciate it!

You’re free to imagine these ladies however you see fit, and if the art I drew fits your vision, then go ahead!

Credit is always appreciated, so if you were inclined to you could always add it to your author’s note :3

Also. This might be odd, but the only thing I feel iffy about being in a fic is the rune gem being a pendant. I don’t know if I have the words to express why but i’d appreciate it if that was left off of your descriptions 🫶

Thank you so much for checking with me first, best of luck with your writing!

[galaxyspeaking]

hi! i saw on twitter that you’re not interacting anymore with arcane fandom on there and I completely understand and i’m sorry for what happened. i wanted to ask you if you’re gonna post on tumblr/instagram what you post on bluesky or not, because i don’t have the latter but I will do an account just to see your art because it’s amazing.

hey, sorry if you sent this a little while ago, I kind of lost track of tumblr (it happens periodically, oops!)!

Thank you for understanding! To be honest the state of the jayvik fandom as it is has completely soured me on creating any art or writing so I wouldn't hold any hope for more....... But yes, moving forward I think I'll keep instagram, tumblr and bluesky as my more active platforms because twitter has honestly become so hostile that I barely go there anymore!

And re: fanart, fandom behavior etc. As an artist who has been active in many online fandoms throughout the years , the only power I have left these days is to decide when I stop participating. So when I stop enjoying a fandom for a reason or another, then I stop creating art for it because it no longer brings me joy. Hope that clears things up!

do you have some idea when the zaino AU fic you’re writing will come out? i am obsessed!!

Hi! I'm not sure, I'm a very slow writer and since I also draw + work full time, it's probably going to take months. I will try to post updates and things if that's? interesting??? to keep you guys in the loop.

I'm also considering making a side tumblr just to chat writing and stuff but idk how interested people would be.......

I’m imagining baby zaunite Jayce with a leg injury angrily doing pull ups and getting ripped

Yes, YES. He breaks his leg when he's fifteen so you're completely correct in your headcanon in that he decides to use his growth spurt and recovery time lifting and working out as a way to deal with feeling so powerless. And then he basically never stops.

The reasoning behind that would be that no one will bully/ push around the biggest guy in the room, and by age 20 Jayce just wants to be left alone. (He spends most of his 20s alone in the shop so I guess he gets what he wants but he's profoundly lonely by the time him and Viktor meet. Positively STARVING for human connection)

[galaxyspeaking]

did you see lol’s latest cinematic?? did you like the new characters designs?? i LOVED Katarina

I diiiid and I'm predictably very into Elise and Katarina's designs and vibes. Someone whispered to me that Katarina is not a girl kisser but as always that's not going to stop me from having beautiful headcanons 😌
