do u plan to delete this blog?

nope, never. I don't believe in deleting art-related blogs/youtube channels/writing pages unless there is a great cause for it. i mean, i know there are editors or writers or artists who've moved on from their hobbies, but you can bet I will forever want to watch their creations. so even if i disappear, or move on, for good (not that i intend to any time soon!), i have no intention of taking all that i've shared here with me :)

i haven’t seen u on my dash in FOREVER it sounds like u have a lot going on

hello there!

so, this ask has been in my box since forever (together with a few others), and i'm sorry not to have answered earlier. it's just like i said in one of my previous ask-and-answers, though:

life got busy.

i had my july days filled with the summer camp and some of my usual classes, meaning I worked more than ever when it comes to the amount of time (and kids are great but they do take a lot of energy, you know?). after that, i started my 2-weeks long vacation and, to be fair, checking that i'm active on tumblr again was the last of my concerns, i guess? I don't want to sound rude, it's lovely to have you ask about my well-being and all. rest assured, i'm still here and doing well. I'm just... more of an observer these days. i come back to see my favourite comics updated, to have a look at what my friends have posted recently... but that's pretty much it for now. I really do hope it will change, especially in this upcoming week.

stay tuned for more updates. and thanks for not giving up on me but asking instead <3

another ask box hiatus?

more like an... overall tumblr hiatus? i just haven't been coming here as often as before, also because i've been unable to create much on my own these past few weeks (will explain in the next ask-and-answer).

thanks for reaching out and asking though!

(sorry if this seems bothersome, but I just wanted someone else's opinion) I keep seeing all these posts about feminism and girl-power, and a common complaint I've read is that women do not like to be sexually objectified (ex. construction workers and their crude comments) but, some females (myself included) never get any attention at all and even though to others it might seem like we're selling ourselves short, I would personally take any attention whatsoever even if it is rude/demeaning

Sorry that my answer is a bit late, Nonnie, and it’s not bothersome at all!

You know, imho the kind of attention we’re talking about here is “bad” in general, not only when it comes to women, because: no one should be sexually objectified, period (unless there’s some kind of special bedroom agreement I guess). It’s just plain wrong. People are people (*starts humming Depeche Mode song*), not objects or… body parts . Which btw doesn’t mean that there can’t be people that actually like being sexually objectified. That’s a whole other story then.

Aw lovely. I bet you are a really great, kind person and you don’t have to feel bad or anti-feminism or sth for wanting attention but you shouldn’t jump through hoops just to attain it. I think it has a lot to do with how you see yourself, you know? And you are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. Try to be kind to yourself, don’t judge yourself so hard. You should always be treated with respect & a thousand cat calls & crude comments won’t really help with how you see yourself. It’s something you need to change from the inside.

For the record: I know this is wayyy easier said than done bc I’m struggling with the same exact things every day as well. I wish I could give you some real advice & not just this blahblah love yourself shit but tbh as dumb as it sounds this is the only thing that’ll help. :( *hugs*
