*Snuggles tight* Yeah. I hadn't planned on it, but this whole bit of turning Fiachra female just kind of went off the rails into some pretty personal territory. I think that's a big part of why I've run with it so long instead of turning her back to her old self. I hadn't meant for this picture to be quite so sad. I just wanted a picture of Niamh reassuring Fiachra that they were still family no matter what, but I have to admit that this version fits pretty well sometimes, too. Somehow, pictures of the two of them together always turned out to be much more emotional than I expect.
It is a gorgeous picture, though, I agree, and Iko really did a fantastic job with the emotions in this piece. She always does a great job of capturing the emotions I want, as well as showing it in her other commissions and personal work as well. She really blew me away with this.
*Hugs again.*

It's funny how these things happen sometimes, yeah. This is the sort of thing that happens when I have too much time to myself to just think. *Snuggles* Thank you for the offer to talk. I do know, and I'm very grateful for that, and I promise that I will definitely e-mail you if I need to. But I'm doing okay, and now I've got this out of my system I do plan to return Fiachra to enjoying herself like usual. Or maybe not quite like usual, as I hope to get some more G-rated art done, too. I do love the outfit Fiachra is wearing in this picture.
You're right, too, that this picture can work on several levels, and I think that the fact that it can still work perfectly well for someone who doesn't know the exact story behind it is one of its strengths.

Wow. This piece really does hit hard, doesn't it? For all sorts of subjects, I think almost everyone's been on at least one side of this image. But especially for this picture's actually subject... just wow, yeah, that's... just exactly it, huh? The emotions in this are just perfect. Major kudos to Iko for pulling this off so well!
I think the people above have already said what I wanted to, just better. It's a really very powerful picture, enough so that I felt a bit uneasy saying I like it, although it's beautifully done; "like" seems not quite to be the right word. I'm not being very coherent, as usual... but that first sentence in your description is such a fine sentiment; it's how I've always felt towards my close friends and I'm very glad that I've been able to do so. (Which of course means that it's how I feel towards you, too.) I'm still not really doing too well on the coherence front, so just *hugs* to end with.
*Hugs* Thanks, hon. And don't worry, I know what you mean. It's one of those pictures that, if I saw someone else post one like it, I don't know if I'd know how to express my thoughts about it very clearly, either. But it's enough to know that you're there and that you care, and that means a whole lot. I've always been grateful for your friendship and support, too and, like Eliki and a couple of other people, you've done more than I can say to keep me going.
This picture really hits home. I wish I could start transitioning myself, but I'm in a low income family and unemployed so it's near impossible for me. I wont lie, I'm slowly starting to give up..sorry for my lil rant by the way. This picture is really beautiful, the message behind it is only more beautiful.
No need to apologize. I know exactly how that feels. I haven't been able to start transitioning either, due to a number of personal issues, and it took me years to simply accept myself for who I am. So I understand the frustration very well.
I'm glad you like the picture, though.
iko did an amazing job at capturing the mood, I think. I only wish everyone could have this sort of love and support.

I wish you had been, too, and that everyone could have the kind of support I've been lucky enough to have from my family. I'll never understand how anyone could turn their back on family like that. It's good to know that your partner has given you support, though, and I wish you all the best.
