Well, well, well... would you look at that. The return of the fanart section, at last!
And would you look at that, we already started off incredibly well, with our first gardener
being ICantSeeHelp. If you've read any of the posts, or just looked at my website properly in general
You'd know how much of a big deal this guy and his art is for me at the moment. In fact, if it wasn't for
him, I probably would've never finished Neo-RootPain.com: Godspeed to begin with.
In a lot of ways, I owe him a lot. And it all pretty much started with his stupid fucking character that took control of me
and my life like a demon in my brain (a demon that I love with all my heart and I wouldn't want them gone for anything)
and eventually, this image.

I genuinely wasn't expecting him making fanart for me, like, at all.
When I first saw this, I was actually at my job, during my shift, and I was just scrolling through my phone since
that shift was so easy I didn't have to worry about much, so I decided to check Bluesky.

And then I saw he marked me on a post, and once I clicked it. I saw it.
Happy would be an understatement. I was over the moon. Wide smile, shit eating grin, showing teeth.
Giggling like a little bitch. Any idiotic term you could think of.

I was so excited, I unironically did the whole run and jump in the air before the frame freezes.
Of course, you can't freeze frame irl, so I just jumped real high like a fucking moron.

My coworkers were there, and they looked at me wondering if I won at the lottery or something.
You fools, I won something better.

Anyways, I was genuinely over the moon over this drawing, and I pretty much have been using it for my computer
and cellphone backgrounds, for my profile pictures, and plastered through the whole website pretty much.

But before I included them here, I had this rule I set for myself that I "would not use other people's art"
through my website to avoid the same situation that led to the downfall of the original RootPain.com

But I couldn't help myself.
So after building enough courage, I asked ICantSeeHelp directly if I could his art on my website.
He said yes, and eventually that would lead to me and him to start talking, which is honestly the best thing
that happened to me in a good while, and easily the highlight of my year.

And looking at this still makes me very happy and brings me back to very recent memories that still manage to
make me incredibly happy. I genuinely love this and what it lead to, and I wanted it plastered
and immortalized on my website for a good reason.

If you can, also check ICantSeeHelp's other works, specially Charlotte's Apprenticheship if you haven't yet.
He's the reason why this website even got revived to begin with, and I owe him a ton.

Go check his website too! He's going to do a lot of cool stuff with it very soon!, so keep an eye on that aswell!

Anyways, it was lovely to catch up. I hope you all are doing as good as I am as of me writing this.

Peace out, suckers; it's been real. Godspeed.
