This is The Most Beautiful love song ever written. It is someone acknoledging how deeply vulnerable someone makes them feel and they’re not afraid of the feeling, they are not afraid of letting everybody know it. It is so sincere.
Hi y'all, I’m running short on money to pay my Uni + credit card next month and would like to get that sorted out as fast as possible!
I’ll be taking full bodies, either colored or only lined like it above. These are the standarts but if you’d like extra characters, backgrounds, just busts/half body or any other type of commission like comics we can discuss prices and work it out something fitting!
I can take payment by paypal or Ko-fi, whichever is easier! Also, since these are emergency commissions, i may take over a week or two to deliver them, i hope that’s understandable.
Feel free to DM here or send me an email at jorrated@outlook.com!

I was at DragonCon one year when Avery Brooks was on a panel, and a Black dude stood up and talked about how the year DS9 came on, he became the sole custodial guardian of his small son, and he was *terrified* and felt helpless, because he hadn’t really had a father himself, and he didn’t really know any Black fathers he particularly wanted to emulate, and no Black single fathers at all. He talked about how every week he’d put his kid to bed and sit down and watch Deep Space Nine, and think to himself, “Okay, this, I want us to be this kind of father and son,” and how, silly as it might sound, the idea that Ben could be there for Jake, all the time, successfully, and earn his admiration and trust, was the only source he really had of inspiration, the only voice that was telling him he could handle this job.
I swear to fuck there was a whole auditorium of people in tears by the time he was done, including both him and Brooks. It was one of the most beautiful moments I ever saw about the sometimes bloodless-sounding term “representation,” and about fandom in general, and I will never forget it.
