I'm bored so allow me to forcibly yeet my bad art at Tumblr.

Introduction?

I don't know how Tumblr works, to be fair, but I feel like before starting sharing posts from other people I should at least write something out there, so here goes.

I'm basically here because of the MLB fandom 🐞🐾. I have been a Miraculous fan for some time, but not nearly as much as people who grew up with it. To be honest, I only started the series as an adult and at some point it really grew on me (to the point I went to see the movie in the theatres twice).

However, I now owe a lot to this series and even more to its fandom and the wonderful people that I found in it.

Trigger warning: what follows depicts mental health issues. You can skip the violet text if that triggers you.

Some time last year I went through a very rough burnout. Panick attacks, sleep deprivation, depression, starvation, you name it. I had a doctor's prescription for a sick leave, but couldn't take it for admin reasons I won't detail here. I basically dragged myself to work, crying all the way through. The only thing that seemed to help me function were Miraculous audio-fictions. I already listened to them to fall asleep on a regular basis, but it became vital to me. I spent a month with earbuds in my ears as often as I could, just listening to everything I could find on YouTube. Then I kind of finished the content I could find on it and opened the wild Pandora's box that is AO3. And there, I found peace. I found wonderful authors, characters that were more real and complex that in canon, incredible stories. I laughed and cried and lost more than one night binge-reading, but it was worth it.

An unexpected outcome of this rough period of my life was that I started drawing again. I did it just for myself and it made me feel good. It was something I hadn't done for years. As you can imagine, all my drawings were Miraculous-related. There was (and still is) just something that made me feel at peace whenever I would draw those characters.

As I said, I was only drawing for myself, but some close friends suggested I share my drawings on social networks. Although I don't really feel at ease doing that, some part of my brain was thinking that I owe so much to the Miraculous fandom and all the art I found online that maybe I could eventually do the same. It also meant I could finally stop reading anonymously and gushing about the latest chapter from my favourite artists with my twin and hopefully gather enough courage to tell the artists themselves how important their words were for a complete stranger.

So here goes. I won't make promises as to the frequency of my posts or anything, but if I manage to do so, I would very much like to share things I like, to support this wonderful fandom, and maybe (just maybe) help other people feel better too.

In the meantime, thank you all for everthing you did for me ♥️🖤

Hanako: Peter Petrol 

Jaehee: That doesn't sound very convincing...

Jumin: How about Oliver Oil?

Jaehee: i think its a bit foolish to guess his name according to what he does. 

Jaehee: Just like your name isn't Trustfundkid Han. 

Jumin: Wait... What did you just say?
