Love, oh love ~ . Pt. 2/3/4

"What was the first thing that made you fall in love with your partner? "

This is a short themed old sketch of a random moment that I imagined with these two old OCs of mine, Amore and their partner/bff for Valentine's Day
It's not a meme taken from something; it's an original scene that came to mind randomly while I imagined various scenarios and dynamics of their story and moments that framed their humour and ways of being.
It's so them.
I drew it quickly. I didn't want to make it perfect; I just wanted to share something cute with some ocs and inspire a smile. I love it.
Think of it as a short scene from a video that includes various bloopers-style scenes, set in a world different from the one we know but with everyday scenarios, shot with an old 90s/80s video camera.
Yes, perfect.
This is my style for random drafts of scenarios, rough and sketchy
The other character in the background was born with this sketch. He is still to be defined (like many other things in their and others' stories), but I already love him.
I can't say much about him and his prickly friend at the moment except that there is no doubt that strawberries are his speciality and that Amore and her partner love his kiosk. In the scene, they had some smoothies, with only natural aromas with exclusively natural ingredients grown and harvested by the owner himself, because this too is love for one's health, for the fruits of the earth and for the workers who cultivate and respect it with the same love (sounds like an ad, but still)
And you? What is your favourite strawberry-flavoured food you absolutely love ?
If you are allergic, don't worry; obviously, his kiosk has everything for everyone, which is always strawberry-themed.
The Valentine's specials are for everybody, like Valentine's Day is for everyone

Love who you want to and let yourself be loved It doesn't matter if it's romantic or platonic love, as long as it's good, constant and sincere
I hope this inspired a smile and made you more curious about these characters and what will come

Hugs and best wishes from Amore and their partner

These days have been quite busy, and I found myself with several things that took up a lot of time and having perhaps too many thoughts about everything happening in the world.
Having CPTSD, stress and anxiety problems doesn't help, but if I let myself get overwhelmed, I won't get anything done.
We can't let them enter our minds and hearts with worries and fears.
We must take a deep breath, regroup, move forward, and act.
Art, words, creativity, and imagination have always helped me in life, and I will use them.
Let's use them together.
You're not alone here
They want us scared, to panic, but they will not win as long as we take care of each other, focus on our passions and dreams and our power to create a better world and future, as long as we don't lose Hope and stay true to ourselves

You won't make a difference if you are always tired and confused.
Breathe, learn what's happening, give yourself time to process and then act for good.
Have this old short scene/preview of other things to come for today
I had thought of making a short animation of it, but for now, here is a little taste

If you like these characters, you can find some animatics, drawings, and illustrations of them (and other characters from the same story) posted previously
Stay safe and take care

I completely forgot I had this account. A lot of things happened, A LOT, and it completely slipped my mind. But now I remembered so, let's catch up here too, at least, try.

For the moment, here's a summary:

People are starving, being killed and bombed.
They are being ethnic cleansed at this very moment.
They need all the help we can give. Now.
I don't know who here actually is conscious of this, but I'll wake you up:
A GENOCIDE IS HAPPENING IN PALESTINE, CONGO AND SUDAN. PEOPLE ARE BEING OPPRESSED WORLDWIDE, AND NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE TO HELP.
So, let's help them.
I know we all have different things to think about, but it is not an excuse to ignore a genocide.
A GENOCIDE.
We all have problems and difficulties, trust me, I know, but if we don't help each other, those problems will persist. It is all connected.
I'm tired, I'm broke, my mental health is a mess, but despite everything and everyone, I'm still here, and I will never stop trying to do the right thing.
Who is oppressing people? The system. Who is still making wars, and genocide happening? The system. What will happen if we all connect with each other to cooperate and help people, cease the fire, stop the tyrants and free all the oppressed? The system will fall, Justice will be made, and peace will be upon all, except for the bigots; they will be held responsible for their crimes, actions and inactions.
Let's raise our voices, spread the truth, and dismantle capitalism.
Don't ignore the call to action. SHARE FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE.
They are here, our brothers, sisters, relatives, and they need us.
Even in our little, we can always do something together.
Help me to help others
Don't let the bigots make you repeat the same mistakes. It's still not too late to make a difference.
We need all the voices, all the means to keep pushing into Justice, ceasing the fire, opening the gates, and for reparation, a lot of reparation, for every human and being still oppressed by war, genocide, and hate.
STOP ALL THE GENOCIDES, ALL THE WARS, OPEN THE GATES.
Free all the oppressed, free Palestine

Spread the message

Donate to these families, people and causes if you can. If you can't, then share and spread to others. They urgently need all the help we can give. I can't do this alone:

I'll update it with more links as I find a new family, other people, or other causes to help. Please do whatever you can to help.
They need all the help we can get.
Don't ignore/forget your earthly neighbourhood

If you can't donate, you can always share, and I'm sharing this with you all right now.
Every voice, every means, every platform.
It all can make a difference.
Remaining silent and doing nothing is not an option.
Do what you can, but do something.
Don't let the tyrants transform you into one of them; don't repeat the same mistakes humans have made for centuries. Break the chain.
Don't ignore.
To turn one's back on humanity is to turn one's back on oneself.
Show me that there's still hope.

It's about doing something, as much as you can, however you can.
Don't stop.

Fight for this world, we only have one
And always remember, you and your actions matter
