Hello, everyone. I am sorry for the way I treated people recently and a year ago. I have no excuse for my actions and I was just. I hope you guys can forgive me. I only have one request, and you can go back to your daily lives.

I would like to have possession of all the art people have done for me before the last couple years. Anything would be appreciated. I don’t want the art to go to waste, and it was very good art. I have a small amount of it, just not a lot. I use them as avatars and covers. I use them because they were amazing pieces of art done for me. I will someday return the favor, but over the last few years, I lost a lot of data due to corruptions. I would like to re-obtain all that I can.

If you have deleted any artwork you did for me, or have a higher quality version on your hard drive, please, message me and we can talk about it. Anything would be appreciated. Feel free to even add a watermark there just for your credit.

To "Ex-otherkin"

In reference to recent drama, I'd like to address the topic of ex-otherkin. If one is to be "ex-otherkin" it may mean one of two thigs. First, they decided that they have a nonhuman identity but do not want to use the word otherkin for whatever reason. Second and more common, they no longer use the term otherkin because they discovered they do not identify as nonhuman. I have no problem with either group. You can choose to not apply a label to yourself, and you can make mistakes about who you are. Soul searching and discovering yourself takes a decades, and you can't expect every label you use during that time to stick forever. However, it is not okay to say that your experiences are universal. This is directed at those ex-otherkin who claim to have "overcome their delusions" and wish for others to see the light. Just because you made a mistake does not mean that othrrs have made it as well. And if they did, it is their perogative to discover that for themselves. It is an individual journey to learn about ourselves, and you projecting your own shortcomings onto others is just plain rude. Otherkin is a very personal thing, so you can't claim to understand that everyone is delusional based on your own experience with your own identity. In fact, it is likely that those who "overcome their delusions" of being otherkin are those who were not otherkin in the first place. Our identities and experiences aren't just something we can poof away. If you can magically make them stop, then it is likely your identities and experiences were built upon a falsity to begin with. Just because it was a phase for you does not mean it is a phase for others.

Wow, your 2013 to now improvement thing is like really motivational. Makes me wanna draw now.

I’m glad that you found it to be motivational! :D But yeah! Just keep on practicing and push yourself to try out new styles and techniques for drawing. There will always be space to improve even if you work really hard toward what you want to achieve, but ya just have to power through it :) Heck, draw whenever and whatever you can whenever you have the spare time and save your old work. It’s a real gem when you go back and see how much you have improved, although there may be some eye-burning/crying in the process, it’s totally worth it :’)
