destiny-islanders:

I have a couple of things to be proud of this year, I guess. For example: a couple months ago I cleared the third Gummi Ship mission for Atlantica in KH1. You know, the one where you’re supposed to earn 260 points without collecting any items?

Yeah. I know. I’m kind of a big deal.

Oh. And I somehow fooled 15,000 people on this hellsite to follow me. But you’re way more likely to hear me bragging at a party about how I’m ready to join the Space Force, what with my ace spaceship-flying skills and all.

Joking aside, this blog (read: me) has grown a lot since I first started posting in late 2014.

Still die a little inside whenever I have to draw Sora’s shoes, though. Y’know what they say about the more things change.

To show my appreciation for the support you’ve all shown me– some of you for literally years– I’m going to do another doodle giveaway. But I want to do things a little differently this time around.

Fandom can be an amazing place– and I’m fortunate that it has been pretty consistently amazing for me give and take a few dips (like now tbh). I know fandom isn’t always wonderful for everyone. Sometimes it can be harmful, or even scary. There’s never a wrong time to deliver a jolt of positivity into fandom. Which brings me to the rules of this particular giveaway:

Just let someone know that their work/efforts/friendship means a lot to you! Tagging them in your post so they can see your kind words is a bonus, but not a requirement.
