It's been a while. Is it playtime?

“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”
I haven't forgotten you all over here on my SFW account. Life has been a bit...Mental really. I've been doing animation these days and slowly getting skills to beable to draw folk animatedly....I guess a longterm goal would be to animate found but Id also like to do big animated group pictures. How could would that be A playgroup animation.... Anyway you probably have already seen this by now cause i've been pimping it everywhere but if you'd like to check out my youtube thingumy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIJqIIr6q50 and mebbe if you wanted to subscribe then I can show people stuff without bothering folk here about it, cause I imagine that's gonna get tiring fast...
But anyway....something hit me today that I hadnt really acknowledged in ages and that's I really havent drawn any stuff that's just Gem like (until today)
Like yeah Star is great and Shine is fun and all the art I do I always pour as much heart and soul into stuff as I possibly can, but my roots....The whole point of my account here existing...was to have fun. Carefree, undiluted, just happy and sunny and basically re-create a childhood here that i didnt really have.
I got accidentally popular. I didn't aim for that, that was never an intention or goal I just wanted to draw stuff and make people happy. That was really as far as I had thought out. I never imagined it would escalate this far. And with popularity suddenly comes a bunch of responsiblity, suddenly folk are looking up to you and you gotta be careful what you say or do and theres always someone sorta looking to bring you down and it gets a bit...weird....
Where all i was really looking for was some folk to play with, maybe a caretaker to tell me its nap time or to give me hugs and play peekaboo with. It was supposed to be simpler than my real life, not more complicated. HAHAHA
But I was drawing that pic I posted of Zeezee today and a little lightswitch went off in my head. I suddenly felt that weird exciteable spark of wanting to be little and play. Its been ages since I felt like that and I think because that pic is just so happy and simple and just normal It just made my heart swell up. It's what I've been missing I think. It's what I've been chasing without really quite understanding or aknowledging that's what I was needing to draw.
Just happy stuff, family stuff or friends playing and just....kids being kids. That's like my core right there. Even typing it made my heart skip. I just wanna be here and forget about the world and just be little and safe and stressfree.
So you'll be seeing more from me around these parts again. more just bright and wholesome stuff because goodness I've missed it

I look forward to seeing more from you :)
Welcome back to the times of feeling lil. :)
(Seriously though i'm glad your little side has decided to say hi after all this time and make you happy again)
Nice little video you did so far. I anticipate the troll will be a nod to this pic you did a while back http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10093417/
It's through being us we deal with our childhood's legacy - the good and the not so good - and build the kinds of emotions and experiences that will help us recover.
Play matters.
(((Hugs)))
I also look forward to you creating and posting more art!
Sometimes it’s just fun to get back to our roots and rediscover what got us into this mess in the first place. ;)
Zeezee doesn't count as 'cute', he's 'handsome!' And, bigger!
I hope that maybe you can do one of your weekend get togethers and be able to be small for a couple of days and relax. Have you told Daddy about this? Did you crawl up in his lap and say 'I'm ONE!' and show him two fingers!
Hugs the Squynx and r\uffles her headfur.
Aww little squiggles feeling little, hehe
