FUN FACT: This was based off a traditional sketch earlier in that year. I used to do so much traditional art back in the day, oh how times have changed and how far I've come 😭

Still a cute tho!

And a few extra alts

One of the downsides of having an adult life I suppose

Perhaps some day I'll learn how to make that more likely for me. It hurts but I don't think I can fault anyone else for it. Is not right anyway

Yet there is still a longing part of me wishing to have interactions similar to the ones I see. Build characters or lore together. Think of interactions. Exchange artwork. That sort of stuff

Though how does one deal with nasty feelings? It's one thing to take your time and... try to reason with yourself there are several reasons things happened the way they did and nobody is trying to shun you from stuff
