this is my final post! the past few years have been amazing - thank you for everything <3 (more info below the cut)

I will no longer post on this account and wanted to write a note to explain and say goodbye.

Bnha and the bkdk fandom have been a constant source of joy and excitement in my life since 2018 - you were all so kind and encouraging towards me, and I grew so much in skill and confidence as a result! I’ll really treasure my time in this fandom. I loved experiencing so much incredible fanwork and freaking out over exciting moments from the series with everyone in real time. (I still remember choking on my drink and falling to the ground when I saw the vol.29 cover on my tl omg… it was life changing.)

I went on hiatus last year to reconnect with my passion for making art outside of bkdk and learn what I wanted to create without the influence of external validation. I had time to reflect on how much I was influenced by numbers on social media. I thought they didn’t affect me, but in truth, they completely ruled my artistic judgment and decisions. I found new hobbies, new media, experimented with different mediums and subject matters, and in the end… I rediscovered my joy for making art! 

This year, I gave myself a fresh start instead of returning to this account. This is partly because I really enjoy exploring erotic and transgressive themes and I don’t want to share it on a large account to people who followed me under a different pretense haha. But the main reason is that I wanted to create a space without any expectation for what kind of art I should make based on my previous work (since I know the majority of people follow me because I draw bkdk, and I mainly draw ocs and unrelated fanart now). 

All this to say, I hope we can cross paths in the future, but if that day never comes, thank you for the wonderful memories and support you’ve given me over the years! This fandom has so many incredible people in it and I sincerely wish you all the best. PLUS ULTRA!!!! and farewell! :’3

Lots of love,

Rikki <3

hello!! my store is now open! this may be the  this may be the last time i restock in a while so it may be a good time to grab anything you've had your eye on! https://rikkivoid.bigcartel.com/

for full transparency, i’m also going to be taking a break from posting art on social media this year for personal reasons!! i wrote a little more about it on twitter, but i’ll share it here as well:

before i open my store, i want to let you guys know that i'm going to take a long break from posting art on social media (maybe until the end of the year) you guys have given me so much support and encouragement, and i'll always be so grateful for it - you've motivated me to grow and learn so much! i really did have so much fun sharing my work with you all and crying over dkbkdk haha!!

i feel nervous about leaving, because i've used external validation as a motivator for making art since i was 13 or 14! but i also think that's why i need to take a break and rediscover why i like drawing, and what kind of art i would make if no one cared/i wasn't conscious of how it would be received on social media.

i hope you guys can understand, and i'm really honored that you've cheered me on for so long! if you'd still like to keep in touch or say hi at any time, my dms (and ask box) are open and u can always email me at [email protected] too!! if you have any questions about art or wanna have a chat, i'd be more than happy to answer! thank you!!

hey, do you remember the villain baku art (middle school him with his hands in his hair and a broken phone on the floor and blood) inspired by a drabble you posted? the links you put in that post don‘t work anymore, but your art looks soo cool and super interesting, do you maybe have the drabble saved somewhere or know if that artist goes by a different url now? i‘d love love love to read it <3 <3 <3

you referred to them as stef and their old url was @/katsudekuu

hey anon!! i do remember that!! their blog got deleted back in 2018 when tumblr purged a bunch of blogs and i don’t think i have it saved!! i wish i could be more helpful :’0
