Weight Off of Shoulders (good personal news)

As many of you probably already know from talking to me and following my updates, I'd been purposefully keeping this account secret from my Deviantart main account. I post ALL of my account here, including things like macro/micro and vore... and this secrecy was especially because of the vore. This has been because of fears I'd end up being persecuted and also ruin my relationship with one of my closest family members. I had previously thought him to be among the super-vorarephobic crowd due to finding (justifiably) disturbing content that was vore-related early on in learning what it was and then developing a deep dislike of it...
But it seems he found my alternate Deviantart account through the Kyogre drawing. And when he brought it up to me during the first day of the Christmas home visit, I just felt so awful for a few seconds. I thought I was going to lose my family to something I couldn't control... Seriously, it was like those cheesy, clichéd anecdotes--it "felt like hours" even though it was probably only seconds between the start of the sentence and the end. It turns out... while he did have a period where vore as a whole freaked him out very badly, this was basically because the very first vore things he found were... on the far end of creepy and gross (even by vorarephile standards X'D) and since then he's come around to the idea that there's variety, and not all of it disturbs him.
Very conveniently, he only is freaked by the deathy stuff, which means on noms art we actually have more in common than I believed. XD I was a-worried all for naught, but being so mistaken doesn't feel so bad. I am relieved of a great deal of stress and the fear of judgment I carried for years. I still won't fuse the accounts since I do think of the watchers on my main there are probably at least one or two people who are distressed by the content, so I would not want to suddenly introduce it there in great quantity... I may have a Q&A on my main asking if anyone would be disturbed with a handful of the most story-heavy ones being reposted, but mostly it will stay here. ^w^;
This is... possibly the strangest Christmas present I've ever gotten. But it's a good one.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all those other glorious, glorious winter solstice-y holidays, everyone. ^u^

My family's pretty accepting of my interest in the subject too, though I still get a bit fidgety when drawing when they're over visiting xD
*snek huggles* Glad to hear you have it pretty good too! Though yeah, I think it may still be a while before I'd be able to openly draw it in front of him. X3
