Happy birthday to the incredibly lovely and talented @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm! I rarely do art reclists because I kinda feel under qualified for that lol, but Joy puts so much of his heart and soul into his creations and his kindness and overall genius brain inspire me so much I felt the urge to do a little something for his special day.
Dear Joy, this fandom has been more creative, enchanting, gentle and inclusive since you’ve arrived. Your art has been there for me (and for so many others) at good and hard times, always bringing a little ray of sunshine, comfort and hope. No matter the tone - healing or cheerful, spooky or bruising, bittersweet or devastating, I love how much tenderness, empathy and soft understanding transpire from your evocative pieces; I see bits of you in each one, and I hope that with this humble reclist you’ll be able to see bits of me as well. Thank you for everything you do! It’s truly an honour to share this space with you and I hope you have the wonderful and joyful celebration you deserve. Happy day!!
Now a joyful selection of Liv’s faves - which are yours? Feel free to reblog this adding your own faves, let’s shower Joy with love today!
when I first started getting into drarry in march 2021, I discovered liv’s blog and I think for about 3-4 months, I kept it permanently open as a tab for reference, as I devoured my way thorough everything that builds up this fanon in which I’ve since found a community, comfort and a home. i always say that i’ll read almost anything, content-wise, but the kind of stories i’m drawn to, the kind of language and characterizations and narrative inner spark - these things I’m horribly picky about and it’s a treasure to find someone whose tastes and attentions align so much with what I like - because you can trust them, because they can guide you. I’m fairly sure I would have never imagined even talking to liv at that point, so having my own sitp reclist is absolutely out of this universe!
i love the format so much, i’m so honored you’ve slipped out of your fic comfort zone to make something about my drawings, and I’m so honored and delighted at the way you understand and love them exactly in the way that I do. it’s also insanely satisfying how every emoji next to the titles is perfectly assigned and sometimes so delightfully unexpectedly niche!
Thank you so much liv for this wonderful gesture of love and attention for my year in this place, and thank you for your friendship and trust ❤️ I’m so happy that loving things - and talking openly about them - makes life so much more interesting.
