Hey ;) I saw the disrespectful message that anon sent to you ; it's just pure hatred rooted in jealousy. You are a very good writer, you delve deeply into important subjects and aspects of stories that aren't generally brought up, and that's just awesome. For example, I read "More than Murder", and the fact that you included a muslim character in it is positively adorable ! I'm muslim and I absolutely did not expect to stumble upon a muslim fictional character, and positively depicted on top of that ! It's so rare to see that, I was about to cry 🥲 Another fantastic example ; the multi-chapter fic about Sorcha and Malcolm's Harvard years - aren't we gonna talk about how awesome it is ? Like it's so rare in this fandom (Prodigal Son) to see fics where Malcolm is positively treated ; I've seen so many fics where him being abused is so normalized it's disgusting. Which brings me to my next point : your heart and your morals. I don't know you personally, but I can feel you are a genuinely sweet and understanding person, and it's something that really shines through your works and the so-often ignored issues you bring up in your fics - mental health, society etc... Thanks a lot ! Don't listen to people like that anon. Sending you hugs.
Hi there, @moonlightfountain!
First
This was the sweetest message to wake up too! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰
Honestly? I dunno what crawled up the anons backside. I haven’t been active here as of late and dunno what post(s) they even read that inspired their annoyance.
My approach to art and writing is this:
I am proud of everything I’ve created but also humble enough to say I have a lot still to learn before I reach my final destination.
I have always strove to tackle subjects like mental health in a way that was sensitive and compassionate but showcased the struggles people have. We all know someone with depression or anxiety/personality disorders. We all know someone who has suffered a tragedy, been a victim of assault, bullying. It’s not a topic we can or should avoid. Like alcoholism, addiction, societal issues (umbrella term since there are soooo many things that can land here lol)
That’s why I wrote Here Comes The Sun. I saw in PSon how they didn’t explore the other side of Malcolm’s school life by giving him friends (outside Vjay). Stylistically, I get it. The writers were going for a theme about how this one event affected Malcolm’s life. I just wanted to show he could have friends and positive moments/events in his life.
Like we all have.
Good and bad.
That’s life.
Same as representing people of all walks of life (religious, gender, sexual, cultural, etc). We are a melting pot. We should celebrate our diversity and uniqueness… both the good and bad of it. To not represent that, show that, acknowledge it, creates a fake world to me.
I’m also happy to know I was able to craft a character that meant a lot to you personally. That is always the goal of a writer and to know we succeeded gives us nice, warm, and fuzzy feelings 🥰
Thanks so much again for this wonderful message! It really brightened my day!
Take care!

I disappeared for a while and have been fighting with redbubble and their absolute lack of communication for 2 weeks after deleting my shop and all my work.
ANYWAYS I figured out how to do this somewhat myself with print on demand system hooked to my shops!
First up is a custom request that I figured all the Pson fans would LOVE :)
Please bear with me as I work the kinks out in this system that requires a little more oversight on my part than my redbubble shop did. PLEASE reblog for me ♡
https://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartToLifeDesigns
Custom requests are open, I'm uploading all my designs and theres a listing in the etsy shop to purchase your own custom design from me!
