Upon the previous journal and one side comment later, the artist who blocked me actually reached out to me with a olive branch of sorts... And, yeah, yeah. Their reasons for doing what they did are result of personal reasons, to which... I find the action a bit extreme still, but petty... no, not so much, now. To what they replied with, I say...

Fair.

Honestly I'm blocked again, not because of some aggressive back and forth, but this is a person I understand better now. It doesn't feel personal anymore, and honestly I'm just kinda happy they even bothered to bury the hatchet even though there wasn't really anything extreme going on. Just a faux pause that they are making a statement on in a reserved private manner, hence why I won't be pointing them out, since I can respect all that was said and for the artist. I met plenty of people who are just that sensitive to things for one reason or another. After twenty years of actually having friends, I can totally get that.

I would still like to comment upon their art and even commission them one day, but meh, we can't always have what want.

If you read this, person in question... I can dig it. Good feels intended all around.
