This was incredible. I cant even really describe all of the ways this made me feel, other than the profound appreciation I have that you existed in the same time as I did, to write and code this piece of art for strangers on the internet like me to be able to experiance.
The act of creation as self harm has been a concept I've struggled with for a long time as well, alongside the hatred of censorship practices and the dumbing down of media. This felt like a reflection of my own thoughts and struggles. Maybe why the fan's reaction resonated so strongly with me.
There are many things I want to create and publish but cannot bring myself to, for many reasons. Words don't flow. I don't finish drawings. I write short drabbles for my friends that half the time they don't read. This has made me want to post. To create again. I don't know how long the motivation will hold, but I hope you know that the stories you create really do make a difference. Thank you.
