(1/2) you have to be The Hunchback Blog. not only are u super kind & awesome, but ur portrayal of esme is perfection. rather than giving in to stereotypes of female charas of color (always angry, constantly over-sexualized, etc) you choose to show sides of esme that other hunchback fans neglect. yes she is angry, but it is a justified anger. yes she does some sexy dances, but that doesn't make her an object for other's pleasure. she is loving, soft, & so so kind!
(2/2) it means a lot to see a great portrayal of one of my fave charas. you understand her so well and every time i see you on the dash i can’t help but smile. esmeralda is one of the few times i’ve seen someone who looks like me in a disney movie, and it makes me so happy to know that there are some people who deeply care about doing her justice. i hope you have a good rest of your day and stay safe!! <3
Huge apologies for the late reply because it has been about 2 months since I was last active and I left asks and drafts to collect dust throughout this time.
I wanted to reply this immediately when I saw that this came into my inbox a few days ago, but I couldn’t. You floored me. I wish I know who sent this, I cannot think of any person!! I’m glad you think I capture the different sides of Esme and do her justice. But I cannot accept being “The Hunchback Blog” no no no please! Over the years on this site, I have seen great HoND - both personal and roleplaying aspects. It is just that the fandom has gotten smaller. Or maybe it is just the fact that I am getting more of a hermit and do not interact as much anymore. >.< I just do what I enjoy in this space here and come up with whatever inspires me, and I am happy whenever there are those who enjoy it too.
Again, apologies, real life keeps me busy and exhausted. Please do not think I was ignoring you, and my words here simply fail to express the absolute gratitude and - yes - shock I feel.
Thank you. I can only hope that the year has been as kind to you as you are to me. Thank you thank you thank you.
