Curate, connect, and discover
i just remembered how in 2021 on my second week of art school, i was asked to show some of my art, so i panicked and just opened my sketches folder, and SOMEHOW in those few seconds while i searched for a presentable drawing, one of my classmates managed to spot EXACT drawing i prayed nobody would notice
so you can imagine my horror when he pointed to my screen and asked "is that yaoi?"
there were approximately four people gathered around me.
i'm pretty sure i replied w "yeah something like that, ignore it pls" I DIDNT KNOW THESE PEOPLE I WAS SO EMBARRASSED
and then while i was flipping through other drawings (which i thought would spare me from further embarrassment) he then asked "is that my hero academia? deku?" IT WAS A DOUBLE WHAMMY IN A SPAN OF 2 MINUTES
i genuinely forgot that this happened until about 5 minutes ago and just...waow idk how i survived that whole interaction actually
