Hello! I hope you're doing well! I love your Neuvia arts so much! They gave me inspiration and courage to continue drawing despite the unpleasant messages I receive. I also just want to check in on other fellow Neuvia enjoyers. I hope none of the wrio//ette and clorv/a shippers have been harassing you lately since Neuvillette's birthday art came up. I've encountered some and they use me being "sapphic" to attack me more for shipping Neuvia. So I hope you and others haven't encountered that. That aside, thank you for being an inspiration and for existing! 💞 /gen

Hello, I'm doing alright in spite of IRL work stuff, and thank you 🌝

I'll be honest with you, I have no idea if I recently received any weird messages on my socials because I'm not the one really monitoring them: my friend Phel does so, and I'm only monitoring commission requests once he accepts them. This was much needed and honestly I don't feel like I'm missing much anyway when he shows me some examples of what I got.
I don't remember interacting in a negative manner with Wriolette nor Clorivia shippers and am even on very good terms with a few of them since I also like both of these ships to an extend (especially art-wise), but I also think it's primordial for you or anyone to curate your online space if you want to share your creations to others. No matter what you ever choose to depict, you WILL get criticized for literally anything that can be pointed out and it's alright. But I'm a fervent believer of doing whatever the fuck you want as long as you do it in your own space and don't involve unwilling people into it.

And ngl, attacking anyone on their sexuality in regards to what they enjoy in fiction is such a low blow, I genuinely can't bring myself to have an ounce of sympathy for people wasting their time to do so. At the end of the day, once your computer is turned off and you're with your loved ones, you're still sapphic (out or not) and this is the most important. And I don't even see how this is a problem because being sapphic doesn't inherently exclude you from being potentially attracted to men so I'm?????
I myself am lucky to be accepted by my friends and family for who I am and it sucks that others aren't but I don't see why I shouldn't deserve the support I'm getting because, damn, I enjoy a random M/F pairing in a popular video game.
