This is why I
💙 BlueSky🦋 so much!
Coming over from twatter, at first I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It hasn’t and I couldn’t be more pleased🙏

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•20 days ago

I do Not know how to word this?? but I’m also very thankful to so far be treated like I’m an approachable art peer again?? 🥲 idk if it is simply the energy I give off or what but it feels nice to be seen & worth talking to 🥹 ok i go back to work ty

pomspomart.bsky.social•20 days ago

WE LOVE YOU, MANDA

sugarcubees.bsky.social•20 days ago

Honestly I have wanted to say things to you for years, but I always chicken out out of fear of bothering you ;O;;
I will try to change that!

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Omg it’s never a bother!!! 🥺🥺 I always look forward to comments

sugarcubees.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wahh I'm glad to hear it !!! Do you mind dms also?

sablemane.bsky.social•20 days ago

It sounds like you're not only being respected by your peers, but you're developing respect for yourself too! And the more self-respect you have, the more likely you are to be respected by others. Congratulations, I hope you continue to flourish on your art journey!

mayakern.bsky.social•20 days ago

i’ve been feeling this a lot too tbh. like rebuilding a platform will always be a Task, but it’s been so nice to actually get to feel a rekindling of that art community we had back when twitter was chronological. i’ve really missed it 😭

400kay.bsky.social•20 days ago

when artists reach a critical mass of followers i start to feel like i won’t be noticed if i try to actually talk to em…

like my one little notification is sure to get lost in the hundreds of likes 🥲

emmadmiller.bsky.social•20 days ago

Welcome! We are glad you are here 😁🫶

donnahook.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is a good place, a safe place. My art form is relatively obscure, so finding fellow artists who do what I do is great. I hope you'll reach out here and find many new friends and fellow artists. I'm a rughooker, btw. Hooked wool rugs.

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thank you so much and your work is incredible!!!!!

dr-kary.bsky.social•20 days ago

That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!! 🙏💜
I haven't found a way to reconnect with my art for quite some time, but I'm hoping to find a solution one day too 😥

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

I hope it happens for you soon!!! I wasn’t even looking when it all came together 🥹 I’m sure the spark will come to you!!

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you so much!!

elhyana.bsky.social•19 days ago

You're welcome! You're an amazing artist and you absolutely deserve all of this! :3

artovation.bsky.social•20 days ago

omg manda i don't know if you remember me (teddy/soodyo from exo fandom yearssss ago) but i'm so so glad to see you're still around!!! 🫶 what a way to rediscover you. here's to a fresh start with a welcoming art community, i hope it's going to treat you well <3

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

OMG ITS LOVELY TO SEE YOU TEDDY 🥺💖💖 I’m so glad you’re still around also!!! I hope the fresh start is great for you too

cranbearly.bsky.social•19 days ago

THANK YOUU it's been really good to reconnect with people on here, it's been such a long time 🥹 funny how arcane in particular seems to have drawn so many artists back out of the woodwork

viichar.bsky.social•20 days ago

it’s been so lovely seeing you be social again on here!! i hope you’re taking care and doing well manda ❤️

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Waaa thank you so much 🥹💖

marmarris.bsky.social•20 days ago

I love this for you! I haven’t interacted much with fandoms also, but Arcane made me want to draw some art for fics and maybe apply for zines 👉👈

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

There was something so welcoming about it, I was so surprised 🥹

marmarris.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes, it’s amazing and a bit unhinged, but in a really awesome way.

dinodesu.com•19 days ago

You're one of my favorite artists, so I'm very happy to know you're starting to fall in love with art again!

shoveleejoe.bsky.social•20 days ago

“I needed a mental health journey” - I love this, it’s like reframing caring for our mental health as an important motif of the primary epic vice an optional side quest.

thel0ngc0n.bsky.social•20 days ago

Was satisfied lurking in online communities for the longest time but now that I’ve joined bsky I want to contribute. Write more and learn to draw. It’s helpful seeing artists like yourself joining up as well

mandaamsbt.bsky.social•19 days ago

I feel the same way!!

pxkibu.bsky.social•19 days ago

That's lovely to hear Manda!! 🥹🙏 I feel like we all lost a little bit of ourselves out there but it’s so endearing to know that some relationships with art are being rekindled!

goingjoni.bsky.social•20 days ago

I love this for you. Keep creating!

nanahara7.bsky.social•20 days ago

That's brilliant to hear and I look forward to continuing to enjoy all the art you will make
