kennymayovo:
So I got such a kind message from @thesoulspulse , through talking with them I learned of their Danny Program AU! Which has a whole fic attached to it which you can read here
I still absolutely love the AU’s this Phandom creates, I can’t help it if inspiration takes me in it’s grasp when I see one! >vO
@kennymayovo I literally started crying with joy after seeing this. Daniel is such a sweet boy and I can’t believe how amazing he looks here since this is his final stage coming into his own as a person who isn’t just another copy of Danny, but someone who is truly Vlad’s son that loves him more than anything in the world.
I already sent a message about this sincerely thanking you, but like I said, recently I’ve been trying very hard to recover from the heartache of losing some friends of mine who turned their backs on me unexpectedly after some drama on another fan artist’s discord server that was so severe it almost made me give up being a part of the fandom altogether. I felt awful and like I wasn’t good enough for anyone or that my artwork still mattered or could be seen for what it is and has always been, something for all of us to enjoy and to hopefully inspire others.
But I decided not to give up.
I wanted to meet more people, better people, who like Danny Phantom and could appreciate the hard work I put into everything I create and find as much happiness from it as I do. So I really needed this. It made my choice not to give up on being part of the phandom worth it when another talented artist I admire also found happiness from something I made.
I’m so grateful for the new fans and followers I’ve gained and for the kinda friends who have stuck with me through all the hardships. You never know whose lives you might touch, what wonderful ideas you might inspire, which is why we shouldn’t let others try to take away our happiness. Thank you all so so much from the bottom of my heart for making my decision not to give up worth it again.
