Snowflake challenge: Day 8

[anemonen]

Day 8

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are.

Oh, god. This is horrifyingly awkward, isn't it? *closes eyes and presses post*

Yay! Yes, it's totally awkward, but that's one of my favorite parts of the snowflake challenge - it forces us to go outside our comfort zone (especially when it asks us to rec ourselves or ask for things we want or love!). And I for one and just super impressed by anyone brave enough to take that plunge, so this is me, being impressed, and loving you for your courage. ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

That is a very good point :) Thank you so much for the lovely comment! That's so sweet of you ♥

[alexcat.livejournal.com]

I am sending virtual hugs and love to you just because~! OH and your drawing is amazing! Have a wonderful day!

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! You're too sweet!! *hugs back*

[analise010.livejournal.com]

This isn't awkward at all! There's nothing awkward, wrong, or selfish about loving yourself - both literally and figuratively ;) - and let other people do the same (on your own terms, of course). You are a wonderful person and don't let anyone tell you differently.

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

That is very true! I suppose that's the beauty of this challenge, that we should learn to love ourselves :) Thank you so much <3

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't mind if I drop you a quick note to say that I think you're all kinds of wonderful for taking part in this challenge, despite it making you feel unconformable! You should be proud of your accomplishment ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Well, I think this one makes everyone uncomfortable, but I think that's maybe why it's such a good challenge :) Thank you so much, it's so sweet of you ♥

[snugglemint.livejournal.com]

As someone doing the Snowflake Challenge as well, it's a wee bit awkward. It's kind of the equivalent of "WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?!" But, it's also a really nice thing as well. :)

So, hi! I literally just added you a few days ago, but I'm so over the moon in love with your art. <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah definitely quite awkward!

Nice to meet you, thanks for the add :) And thank you so much <33

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

:D
Thank you so much ♥

JUST LET ME LOVE YOU, okay? :D

1. You are an amazing artist. Seriously. I adore all of your things, including your full body stuff (Best Friends, that first Scorp/Al one is, I think, my all time favorite of yours ATM), but holy shit your portraits are unbelievably awesome. I think you are particularly gifted at facial expressions and eyes, really breathing life into them, which is why I just adore your portraits and a close up view of them.
2. You sing, which I think is super cool! I adore music and singing and I think it's so awesome hearing about your other passion. :D
3. You are the actual sweetest. You leave lovely comments and you are so supportive and encouraging and just plain lovely and adorable.
4. I love how involved you are. You participate in a lot of H/D fests, but also are constantly pushing yourself to try out other characters and pairings which is really fabulous.

It's been such a joy getting to know you and watching your art just get better and better! I swear every time you post I find a new favorite. <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Omg, thank you so much, lovely <33
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy my art, and I really do enjoy participating in fandom. *hugs*

your icon is super cute! also dropping love <3 <3 <3 <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥♥

[rscreighton.livejournal.com]

Hard things are hard, but here is love! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 LOVE LOVE LOVE <3 <3 <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Very hard, but thank you! All the love <333

[lightbird777.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Definitely awkward. :)

I don't know you. Just dropping by to day hi and offer ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Hi ♥ Nice of you to drop by!
And I LOVE your icons. Now I'm totally humming "and the gators gonna gait gait gait..." :D

[eidheann_writes]

You are crazy talented. I feel like I'm a hugely bad friend because I am such at commenting on art (and I'm sure you're like 'yes I've gotten your comments and you are indeed bad at it') but I really adore what you do. You are so good at eyes and faces and expression and conveying emotions with them.

And you are fabulously sweet and nice and fun to read in your posts in general. And you're one of the people I actively wish I were closest to because you just make me smile.

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

I promise you that I have never, even once, thought that. Your comments are wonderful, and I cherish every one <333
Thank you so much for saying such lovely things to me! *huggles*

[blithelybonny.livejournal.com]

YOU! You are absolutely amazing! Your art is brilliant and gorgeous and inspiring. Your comments are always thoughtful and getting them makes me grin. Your singing voice is gorgeous. You're like a little ray of sunshine, srsly.

It has been epic getting to know you better especially over the last few months, and I'm super looking forward to the new year with you. :) :) <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, thank you so much, lovely! I don't know what to say! :')
Looking forward to seeing more of you to <333

[inglevine.livejournal.com]

Your art is beautiful and you're a warm, friendly person. ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *hugs*

[rycolfan.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think a lot of us find this one really tough. So well done for taking part, and HP fandom high-five! ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes totally! It's nice to spread the love, though! Thank you ♥ And yay HP \o/

[firethesound]

Well, the only horrifyingly awkward thing I can think of about this will be watching me break down and give you all the word-flailing because I adore you to absolute pieces. You're such a sweet person and one of my favorite people in fandom. Definitely one of my top favorite artists. You have so much talent and I love love love your portrait series of HP characters partly because you're an awesome artist and partly because you've done a lot of more minor characters that I don't think get the attention they deserve (and you did Percy!!! I still have so much love for that one) I really enjoy reading your entries (in a totally non-stalkery way) and I like that you post so many pictures (also non-stalkery, I promise). I especially liked the hundred happy days thing you did and always looked forward to those posts. You're a total sweetheart in comments as you are in everything else, and I'm still counting myself as so incredibly lucky to have gotten art from you for one of my fics. (And still sort of flailing over that from time to time...) I also love coming over to your journal to comment on things because my little userhead turns into a cute little muffin, lol. I think I've mentioned that before... XD Is this enough awkward rambling and flailing for you? I can go on... Basically, I'm glad you're here and a part of fandom because you make my friends page a brighter place. <3 <3 <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I don't even know what to say! You lovely, lovely thing <3 Thank you so much for your wonderful words. It's great to hear that you enjoy my art and even my silly rl ramblings. I sometimes feel like I'm totally spamming everyone with weird stuff lol! I'm so happy to be here and to be able to share this lovely place with you ♥ *hugs*

[nicevenn.livejournal.com]

You make fun and gorgeous art! ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

You are such a great addition to this fandom! I've really enjoyed getting to know you a bit better and I am amazed by your ability to create beautiful pictures!

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! It's been lovely getting to know you too ♥

[bloodisshrp.livejournal.com]

Ane!! ♥

You were actually one of the first few people I talked to, as in talked to outside of things related to fics! (about the Backstreet Boys of all things! :D)

You are super talented and I love your posts - they are always so warm and I love reading about what's going in your life. ♥ And the pictures you post always bring a smile to my face! ♥ So thank you for being so awesome and amazing! ♥ ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Really? :D I remember that conversation, it was bc of one of dracogotgame's fics, wasn't it? Nothing like bonding over Backstreet Boys XD

Thank you so much! I'm really happy I met you here ♥ *hugs*

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Sweetie,
I'm very happy I got to know you here. You are a wonderful person, always so positive, and it's inspiring, believe me! ♥
I love your drawings, how sweet they are, how touching too. Thank you for being my friend! ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so happy to have met you too, lovely! I'm sometimes worried my silly rl ramblings are annoying, so it's good to hear you don't think so. Thank you so much for your wonderful words ♥

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

You're a lovely person ♥ A lovely talented person with great taste in music. We haven't really talked that much, but you've always been kind to me (even when I wasn't making much sense!) and I think that should definitely count, because it certainly makes you amazing in my book :)

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

I love talking to you when we do, you're so interesting and funny and likewise with the music! Thank you so much ♥

[birdsofshore]

I'm so happy we're friends - I love seeing your art, and your wonderful encouraging and appreciative comments <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm happy we're friends too, I always love your posts and your awesome fics and comments <3

[nia_kantorka]

You are a wonderful artist and I love your art. How you draw eyes and hair and jaws. OMG - I could swoon just from remembering some of my favourites of yours.

You are a wonderful and encouraging friend, and I love your way of commenting and answering to comments, and being such a huge part of fandom.

I'm glad we met here and can't wait to meet you for real. ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! It's been wonderful meeting you here, and it would be awesome to meet you for real also ♥

[capitu]

Angel. What can I possible say? You're one of my favourite people in the whole world. It's just not a line, you are.

I've loved your art since I first saw it. Your style is so gentle and lovely, it always, always brings a big smile to my face. I've loved seeing you try different things, grow and test this and that style, but the sweetness quality of it it's always there. You have to know how much I love your art.

And then I got to know you better, when we first exchanged emails and you're a darling, I can't say – no words, really – how lucky, blessed I am to consider you my friend and know you consider me yours.

I admire you in so many ways, I just want to hug you forever. ♥ ♥ ♥

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Oh, so are you, love. Yoy've been so lovely and supportive to me this first year and I'm so happy and grateful that I get to be your friend ♥ Thank you!

[starbuckssue.livejournal.com]

Go you!

The simple fact that you had the courage to press 'post' automatically turns you into a pretty amazing person! It really is one of the hardest challenges isn't it, we give so much to other people and yet actually asking for something for ourselves seems wrong, wrong, wrong!!!

We really do deserve it though :)

*Hugs*

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That is such a lovely way to see it all. ♥
*hugs back*
