Amazin-A

It doesn’t bother me that people might judge me for it. I don’t concern myself with those people. There’s plenty of people who will say that people who are into the things I draw are somehow mentally deranged or that they somehow need help. 

Not being able to comprehend a fetish doesn’t make the person into it any less able to function as a regular human being in society. 

I think what bothers me the most about the fetish is how quiet the fanbase for it is. 

Now don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why that is the case. This just isn’t a fetish many people like to be vocal about, and having sort of a safe space to be able to indulge in that quietly can definitely be a great thing for someone whom is insecure about having the fetish. 

For me, personally, I don’t mind that the fan base is quiet. 

What I do mind about it, is that it can be hard to get a proper amount of validity from it. 

I’ve often found that some fans of mine have to remain so quiet about their interest with the fetish that it may discourage them from ditching out any praise towards my work. I know that it may sound selfish for me to say that I kind of wish they would comment and such, but to suggest otherwise would be a lie. 

I like validity. I don’t know anyone else in the world that doesn’t like it in one shape or form.

Whether it be fans telling you how awesome your work is everyday, to maybe an artist that you admire telling you how much they appreciate your work. 

You know what’s funny is that I’ve had a small handful of artists tell me that they really like my work, and that my work can be seen to them as a “guilty pleasure”. 

I’ve heard it said so much actually that I joke around with people and dub myself as a guilty pleasure artist. 

Iunno. Listen.

By even going anon and telling me that you love my work is all the validity I need sometimes. 

I will say one thing though. 

There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not grateful for the fact that I can make art the thing that I do for my living. It’s been hard and quite a challenge for me, but with the support of fans such as yourself, I’ve been able to survive so far, and the fact that this has been the case is indeed another form of validity from my fans that I’m very willing to accept. 

So just know that I’m not asking anything more from you all.

Just trying to stay true to my feelings. 

To do otherwise would be doing myself a disservice as well as you.
