Hello!! I'm a sucker for Viravos and I found your art since I've returned to tumblr. I love it! All of it! Thank you for the good dragon prince content!!

< 3! Glad to hear about a fellow Viravos fan! Welcome back! It's been pretty chill here

Hello everything is fine? Just a question about your comic... Do you happen to have it translated into Brazilian Portuguese? I'm Brazilian and I'm not very fluent in English...

I'm good thank you! Unfortunately no : ( I don't know Brazilian Portuguese so I can't translate it myself either. but if someone wanted to do a translation that would be awesome. Thank you for the interest!

Hi! I just wanted to say that I love love love LOVE your art style and, as I’ve finally watched TDP for the first time, I’m REVELING in your viravos art. I can’t believe there’s not more support for the ship! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do, and tell you that your art is beautiful ✨

AAAA Awesome! I'm glad my art brings you joy! Yeah, Viravos surged in popularity in 2019 when the season 2 came out. I think it's still the most popular non-canon ship according to AO3 and fanpolls. Unfortunately the peak was 3 years ago so its fanbase has definitely been in decline. But who knows! Maybe it'll rise again! I'll def stick around just to see what happens : D I know people who still make great fan art and fic for it but since lots of those people have moved from Tumblr to Twitter it's harder to find their work.

Thank you so much for your TDP fanart truly lives rent free in my head, it’s lovely. 👀 @ your webcomic, I’ll check it out too!

I'm glad to hear they bring joy! I've had lots of fun posting them^^ If you like my sense of humour, hot elves and DILFs it's highly likely you'll enjoy Return of The Demon GF (my webcomic) as well!

Do you do free drawing requests/take ideas for doodles? Because world needs more virrow-fueled angsty viravos 👏

Drawing is just so much work, even when I do it to relax and not for my actual work related projects, heh. So I gotta say no. I love hearing about other people's head canons though so feel to send me those<3 Like, if I happen to get inspired by those then I draw them but I can't really make any promises. Yup, Harrow's death really sent Viren spiraling. it's good fuel for angst indeed. I love that stuff

YOU ! One of the coolest friends :) if I'm not mistaken i think we became mutuals after we randomly tagged one another and That's great because i really believe i am better person for knowing you and i can't believe the luck. I like that we both love the outdoors and hikes and forests and that's definitely something I'd like to do when we meet. I also like the fact that you're going through university. I know this sound weird but i believe it shows strength and resilience and all in all you are a very inspiring person :) I'm super glad we're friends. You're a beautiful human!!

Why is it that whenever a Latinx disagrees with you re: your Chris Pratt post, you tell them they must have some time of internalized racism? It really seems like you're presuming you know what's going on in their own heads better than they do. Plus, it carries the assumption that there's only one "right" opinion all Latinxs must have, which feeds into the notion that all Latinxs are a monolith.

TBH I’m not trying to feed into the notion that all latinx are monolith but I know from my own experiences trying to dig out my own internalized racism they sound alot like people I know. At some point you gotta make a choice about what’s more important, respectability politics or advancing your community w/r/t representation and self respect.  

Part of the reason I’m talking about internalized racism is because we’re talking about a film set in Costa Rica (which not only has intense anti-blackness irl but is a very important example of being environmentally aware) that literally has no positive roles for latinx. And to choose to be angry at me for pointing out that JW featured a white man with a fake tan was more important than for them to even attempt to see my point indicates to me that they didn’t even try to see my point. It points to respectability politics/internalized racism. 

I’ve had lots of experience with talking to PoC about internalized isms and this is how I always deal with it now. Life is too short to do otherwise.

Jeez I'm sorry you've gotten so much crap for your Jurassic World post. If it counts for anything I think you had a pretty strong point about a lot of the terrible crap Hollywood gets away with.

Thank you for your kind message. And yeah I think the grossest part is that the majority of white people didn’t get that I wanted more PoC in leading roles. So they’re thinking its about tanning which is natural and my point was that that a) CPratt’s tan wasn’t natural and b) white supremacy also isn’t natural.
