HAPPY 1-YEAR OF DRAWING ANNIVERSARY TO ME!
(Warning: slightly longer post incoming cause sometimes I gotta be a sentimental bitch ok? So let's go on a little trip down memory lane.)
This day, a year ago, I made my very first fanart. It was dnf (if that surprises you, then welcome to being on my blog for the very first time). I drew a little frog face too so I could use it as a watermark (fun fact: I still use that very same first one).
I immediately put my drawing up on twt because I told myself that I wasn't gonna be afraid of having people see that I was at the very beginning of this journey and had no clue what I was doing. That instead of being bad at art, I was gonna be awesome at being a beginner who doesn't know shit.
I started with little doodles and silly comics and then I laughed way too long when the first drawing of mine that gained some attention was a dnf butt joke. At the time I was trying to balance shipping and non-shipping art so I didn't even draw dnf that much but in hindsight it's probably the only possible way this could have gone.
At the very end of August I woke up to @honelle56 caps-locking at me in my messages - I was very confused and tired (I am no morning person and I will never be, fuck off with your mornings) because Dranart liked my drawing of singing Dream. Dranart was my 17th follower on twt which is a useless yet extremely funny fact about my time on that hellsite.
I also drew human!patches because a) patches was and will always be my favorite dteam member and b) it was a really cute trend and while I do love drawing dream, george and sapnap, I was also quite happy to try drawing anything but a white man for once. And I really liked how the drawing turned out.
Much, much later, I tried to draw my first slightly more realistic looking drawing. I was extremely confused on how to draw anything like this. Especially their hair gave me tons of trouble but given my experience, I think it's not a bad attempt.
When hijacked smp started I obviously wanted to participate, and I drew c!blu who doesn't associate with any side in particular but instead serves soup to everyone who visits her tavern 'The Soup House'. She also wants to be paid in stories from all around the map.
One of the events I was most excited about was dnf week. I even collaborated with two talented writers and I drew the corresponding art for two fics.
(Fun or not so fun fact: when twt had like three hundred collaborative aneurysms about the situation at that moment, that was when I created this tumblr account. I didn't use it super actively (I guess I needed another situation to fully make the switch) but I at least started the account that now developed quite a bit since then.)
I didn't really draw at all through January and February and I actually kinda thought I would move on from that hobby and fandom (not because of negative feelings, just because I didn't really have the urge to create anything within this fandom) and then situations happened and now I am here; and for some reason that is beyond any logic and my understanding I am now even more insane about dteam.
Wild to me but we are rolling with it now, I guess.
Since I got here, I drew more than ever (I actually think I might have made more drawings in the month since I got here than I made the whole rest of the year). There's just such an active and funny community here that cares about fan works for the sake of creating and not just because a CC might see it.
Unfortunately, Tumblr won't let me add more than 10 images in one post (maybe fortunately for everyone who has this monstrosity of a post on their dash). So if you want to see all the progress I made since I got here, you can look at everything in my art tag. For now, I will close this post with one of the art works from the past month that I like the most:
Can't wait to see what the next year might bring :)
Love, blu

me talking about the onlyoneof show below
finally back and sitting down bc I got food after the show but that was sooo much fun omfg???????? what do you MEAN rie held my hand and called me beautiful teehee (it’s true he really likes fanboys one i spoke to said he called him eye candy and kept winking at him LIKEEE) and junji gave me a fist bump?? some of my friends were watching me up there and said me and him really seemed to be vibing 🤭
someone else I was in line with was asking them all about their fav Sanrio characters, I think I heard mill say pochacco! rie actually doodled his in their album im p sure it was pompompurin
i met someone outside the venue who’d gotten a nine snapshot and nine recognized his perfume by name!!
my junji bias friend got him to complete a hand heart w her during the show that was lovely
Both of us did one during the group photo hes truly so sweet— I’m glad I was next to him if I couldn’t be next to rie
that’s gonna be a photo of all time for us when they post it for suuuure
i CANNOT BELIEVE they did FRAGILE????????????? SO GOOD. mics were ON!!!!!!!!!!!! i did fall victim to the classic blunder of singing too soon bc it was the remix though lol
My friend took a few small rie fancams for me I’m so hype to see them later
there was a Japanese fan next to me who was filming the whole thing and at the encore they did angel and blossom (CRAZY fun) and at one point during one of those nine motioned to her to smile lolll she did laugh a little at that

KERI have u seen that one sonic fandub clip of shadow looking off in2 the distant stars n then he says 'maria.' n an explosion happens out in the horizon ? cuz im just imagining megatron looking out into space, eyes narrowed n hands behind his back n then he says 'keri.' n some faint explosion happens in the distance [this all came 2 fruition after i saw that post u rbd from 2020 w that whole 'ask my f/os!' thing u did jdjdjdjjs]
Anon I LOVE you!!! Not only did your ask make me burst out laughing in the middle of my shift (I didn't know the video previously so I had to look it up and I was in STITCHES while restocking the gummy bears) but also, your ask made me feel so happy. It has been so long since I've genuinely believed any TF characters would love me or even rly pay any attention to me whatsoever, and you giving me this prompt... god it made me so happy to think of Megatron thinking of me, I actually felt motivated to doodle a Transformers F/O for the first time in so fucking long 😭😭💙💜💙💜💙💜
I drew this on the back of one of those tiny ass 50% sales signs during my shift when there was a lull in customers:
