hi, sorry to mention kagerou especially considering what ive heard, but i really just want to say that your art, for me, as a trans woman, actually may have not only made me feel better about myself but pretty much saved me. it's sad to see you don't draw kagewaka or kagerou anymore because i undyingly love kagerou but considering the circumstances you're justified. not to dismiss your newer art too, i really like it a lot (despite regrettably not knowing arknights, maybe ill get into it at some point).
i don't want this to drag on too long but ive thought about writing to you for a long time and considering this website's on its way out i wanna at least get this message to you before anything. you're a great artist and you've pretty much put me on a better path about the way i see myself, aswell as (as pathetic as it sounds) kick-starting my obsession with two characters (one in particular). thank you deeply, waka/orz (if you still go by that name, sorry otherwise)
ps: would it be insensitive if somewhere down the lines if your comms ever open that i commission kagerou? i debated it but i just don't want to make you uncomfortable more than anything seeing as how you're a great inspiration to me and a great person overall.
thank you for reading
a bunnythank you, really, it means a lot to hear something like this right now. i get a lot of messages from various trans people about how my art has impacted them in general, but with everything going on in my life right now, something about seeing someone mention kagerou specifically feels kind of comforting in a way, it's an odd kind of nostalgia that i haven't been able to really feel until now. it's been so long and so little matters anymore and i almost miss that part of who i used to be. maybe it's just because it's hard for me to feel strongly about anything right now. something about the idea of drawing her again feels almost kind of cathartic..? what if i didn't have to associate her with anyone or anything anymore and i could just start over with her? she was my muse for the longest time, and who knows, maybe it would be nice to revisit her sometime.
my turmoil aside, im so happy to hear my art could do so much for you and that i could have such a positive impact on your life. things are still hard for me but it helps a lot to hear from real people who care about me and what i do that what ive done up until now isn't for nothing. i hope that you continue to build upon your self acceptance and happiness from here on out.
