ask replies! pt 1
this is so incredibly late but i compiled a bunch of asks having to do with pink in the night. it’s a lot of me being emotional and exclaiming “thank you” over and over again but if you don’t mind, read away!
@aristptle: thank you so much! ahh oh my goodness... this message makes me so happy ♥
@angelpainsz: thank you! much love to you too!! <3
@mauraleigha: AH thank you sm!
@thewildbombadil: omg! i haven’t thought much about expanding the story - i really meant it to be a one-off comic. these girls came to life through the inspiration from mitski’s song so i think i’d like them to exist in relation to that particular piece~ thank u for the interest tho!
@omelettedufromage-24601: oh gosh welcome! and thank you! i hope you enjoy your stay 😊💕

4. dries your tears w the softest tissue..!! thank you <3
5. thank you so much!! <333
6. i actually did worry it was too subtle! in the panels of their childhood and on, i tried to portray the girl transitioning naturally throughout their lives together, but i think the most important panel is the second one, where she looks at the poster of a conventional family.
i had the dad and mom sort of mirror the children’s positions, holding hands. i thought a long time about what the poster should be of - at first i considered a woman? but then i thought it’s also valid to look at something and realize that’s what you’re not. so when she’s looking anxiously at this family, she’s perhaps thinking that this isn’t the future for her. maybe she doesn’t want to be the “dad” or the “husband” in this situation. and this scene is also accompanied by the line “but i didn’t do it right”... so i hoped people would be able to piece these clues together and recognize what i was going for!
@helpmebecomeme: my heart is growing as we speak... thank you so so much. i don’t even have words for how i feel reading these kinds of responses.. i’m just so grateful and overjoyed that something i drew was able to reach somebody in a meaningful way. thank you ♥
@servamp-addict: AH thank you sm!! i really appreciate it~
@feralkorekiyo: gasp.. i’m sending my love in return!!
@tonftyhw: ahh i’m so glad! tysm, what an honor!
@anarchistcuddles: thank you!!! i remember while i was working on it, i hit a point where i started doubting what i was drawing - i just thought i was putting a lot of time and effort into something that wasn’t even turning out very good - so i can’t tell you how glad i am that i kept working on it anyway. every detail was worth it!!
1. ahhhh!! thank you so much for this message, you’re too kind!
2. oh my gosh, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
3. thank YOU for loving it so much! it’s absolutely my pleasure :>
4. AHH i’m so glad to hear that!! i’ve seen people interpret the song as something sad and bittersweet... and i understand that too! but i read an interview with mitski where she talks about how pink in the night is the feeling of being in love... and with this in mind, the vision of kissing someone again and again just because you want to do it right, and because you adore them so much, really struck a chord with me. i also loved this quote from her:
“...Heartbreak doesn't have to be a hard, horrible bad thing. It's just like ‘I'm so infatuated and in love that I feel myself crumbling... but in a good way!’”
5. hehe thank you!!
6. thank you thank you ♥
@revangarcia: haha i’m so glad! this is always the goal (*´∀｀*)

@nerdygaytor: ahhhH! thank you from the bottom of my heart. this is so sweet!
@i-like-cartoons: oh gosh! wishing you and your gf the best 🥺💕💕💕
@xundeadqueenx: !!! SOLIDARITY
1. ohh!! HMM well i have no plans to do so currently but you never know! i do love making those kinds of pictures. and thank u so much! T_T <3
2. gosh thank you! i’ve debated this for a while but patreon sounds a little intimidating - i might have to consider ko-fi or maybe gumroad if i ever decide to have digital work for sale.. things to think about for sure!
3. this comment gives me so much strength 😤
4. oh my goodness... sending you all the love ♥
