"Final Fantasy was better when it wasn't political" - guy with an avatar of a character from a game whose entire plot is about overthrowing a corrupt megacorporation that's poisoning the planet for profit and/or a corrupt religion/empire run by nihilistic deathseekers

This weekend I came out as nonbinary to my parents, & totally expected my dad to make some bigoted comment, but just had this look of realization on his face & said nothing. Then proceeded to give me a knife as a gift to protect myself, & that’s honestly the most dad-like acceptance I can think of 😭

Artists/authors/creatives, if you could give your past self any advice, what would it be? Mine is that growth comes from cutting off the people who made you feel like you would never succeed without them. You have everything in you already to spread your wings. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

I spent so much of my twenties dreading turning 30 because everyone makes it out to be this awful milestone of "haha you're old and your life is over" I'm 29 now but I literally feel like my life finally STARTED last year, and for the first time, I can say I genuinely love my life?? 😭

Sometimes I feel like an alien in that I genuinely never know what to post on social media or how to keep up with it all. Like where do people find the motivation to post every day? And update their stories? And post absolute witty bangers all the time??

EXCITING NEWSSS 💜 I'm going to be at DoKomi AND C2E2 this year and I'm PSYCHED 🥹 Here's my current event schedule for the year so far! Hopefully adding more in the coming months!

Just wanted to say that I am so thankful for every bit of support that comes my way, whether you like or share my art, buy prints/keychains, leave nice comments about my OCs- it means everything to me that I'm able to do what I do 😭
