@MalFromed Wow, well! First off, it makes me really happy to hear my comment motivated you in any way!! That's so good to hear as someone who's been trying to leave reviews more often on people's art, you never know when someone needs some encouragement! It also means a lot that you wanna make some art for me, thank you so much! Really didn't have to, but since you say you've been meaning to for some time then i'm really looking forward to it :P take as much time as you need of course, no worries!
Now, as for the incident! WOW. What an honestly funny coincidence, as awful as that situation is. It's like karma saw you didn't respond to my review and took it personally haha, so unbelievably unbalanced...
Anyway! I'd say to take people calling you pessimistic with a grain of salt, i don't think it's wrong to acknowledge or even dwell a little when you're in a bad place, sometimes it's really hard not to. What's important is to be able to look at a bad situation and think "Okay, things aren't looking so good right now. Is there anything in my power that i can do to improve things?" (imagine yourself asking really long questions for a sec haha) or "Okay, if i can't fix this at the moment, how can i make things easier on myself?" Staying level headed and finding that silver lining is a really underrated trait!
Beatumpop
Good luck man, that sucks so much though it's nice seeing you staying positive through all of this, I feel i'd stay grumpy forever haha

Well, well, well, if it isn't the source of my little fiasco! >:[
Ha, I kid! There is a reason for this little joke, but I'll get to it in a second!
Yeah, some people accuse me of being a pessimist for simply acknowledging a bad situation, but I like to find solutions if I can, and part of that is recognizing when things are bad. My life has been a steady string of setbacks, disappointments, and cruel realities, so if there's ever a silver lining to something, I'll gladly take it!
Now then, that joke. See, the night this all went down, I was washing my hair when it struck me that I never responded to what you said on that one Act of Fromed. Considering how rude this was (given circumstances you'll understand in a second), I resolved to respond to it once my shower was finished. And then, literally the second I sat down, this all started. The timing could not have been better/worse!
With that small novel out of the way, I would like to say:
Thank You!
For what? Well, this goes back to that Act of Fromed. You complimented the colors I used in that piece, colors from part of my color palette that I had considered a failure and, at that point, had given up on. See, I have a motto: "So long as one person likes what you did, it was worth doing." You motivated me to go back and give it the care and attention it needed! Now I can easily say that there's a lot more nuance and life to that color palette than what I've been using! That would not have happened if you had not said anything.
So again: Thank You!
That said, I can't simply say thank you and move on! I'm going to have to add you to my list! List? The list of people I'm making art for (I've been meaning to make something for you for a while now anyway)! Just know my list is pretty lengthy at the moment, so it's going to be a while till I can get to ya!
