i love my animals a lot. a lot. im very happy i made this account a year ago, i feel like for the first time i know who i am and how i like to express myself. before this account ive mentioned i had a rule about never drawing myself, i don't even remember when that started i just knew i didnt like doing it. and it was something i was weirdly insecure about, it made me feel like all i was good for was fanart. something i still worry about now. but i wanted ti prove to myself that i still had my younger self in me, that i could make a billion weird nontraditional furry designs and get attached to them, that i could just draw without worrying about a fandom presence or peoples opinions of my interpretations. with the hand injury it really forced me to decide where i want to spend my time and i think choosing my animals was the right choice. they make me really, really happy. i like that every picture i do of them no matter how ridiculous or silly is yet another drawing that validates their existance, that proves they're real. i like thag every picture of them isn't going anywhere. they're mine, and i like them because of that. very rarely do i ever get to call something undeniably, irifutably mine. not half way funded by someone else, not a hand me down, not reliant on someone else for their existance. theyre me, and theyre mine. and literally no one Can take that
