yup! and it's one thing from strangers but the fear of similar accusations from your peers/friends is even more harrowing. god forbid you read the room wrong regarding the writing between yourself and friend. I'm glad at least I'm not alone in the feeling

learning this and trying to apply it to how I approach art has been a journey, one that I don't think I'll ever cease walking but I try my best to remember it. especially when I encounter something that makes me uncomfortable. I'm chained to this phone rn but I will come bother you soon!

you're always a sweetheart. thank you, Solaire!

thank you, hun. you've always got an encouraging word to spare and I appreciate it

thank you, hun. touching on what we already have with Gunji and Niranjana has been a lot of fun for me but I appreciate the reassurance too!

I'd say I certainly reflect on it enough already /but/ that could also be mistaken for worrying on my part. I think I just need to put a more confident foot forward with the people I create with

I appreciate it! truthfully, you're one of the people who've helped me be more comfortable exploring darker things in fiction. I'm delighted by the idea

idk what's wrong with me. and it's also the fear of being honest about what I'd like to explore between characters and being looked at like I have seven heads and being rejected. whatever.

gonna think about Gunji looking at Niranjana like this to survive the last half of my shift

wife guy Red is so powerful. you're cooking
