So, saw this on genuinelie page and thought it's actually quite a good idea...so I'm going to snatch it (and hope she doesn't mind?) and see what happens, because lets face it, the truth is always good for us, no matter how much it hurts (or doesn't).

Brutal Honesty Meme: snatched from genuinelie

Step 1: Post this in your journal.
Step 2: others will reply anonymously ^_^ about what they really think of you.
Step 3: cry, because this meme is so brutal, and it hurts.

Remember it's for my own good.

Doesn't work on a locked post (which since I'm telling you that, at least lets you know I was going to comment).

Duh, I should have figured that out. Thanks for that ^___^

You are an incredibly sweet, kind, and talented girl, but you are too empathetic sometimes. You really, REALLY need to concentrate on what's best for YOU. Screw everyone else, they can take care of themselves.

As talented as you are in your artwork, I believe that you let too many people shit on you. As in the case of your nocturnal roomie while you were sick. You let too many things slide in the prospect of being nice and it gives people the impression that they can take advantage of you and usually do. I'd love if you would start standing up for yourself and just tell people 'Fuck No!' You have plenty of people that are true friends and willing to stand by your side in thick and thin but if you keep flaking on keeping your own interests a priority, they may get frustrated with you and pull away.

I love your artwork <3 Its honestly beautiful
As far as everything else though, I agree with the second anonymous post. You let too many people walk over you! You should think about trying to stand up for yourself and do selfish things every once in a while, it would be good for you. I also really appreciate that you're able to share all these things about your life with us, and I think that its good for you. Don't be afraid to get things off your back, and let us help you with the healing process.

In all honesty, it may help to talk to a professional about your "can't say no to guys" problem that you've had. As it is now, it doesn't seem healthy and makes me worry about you ^^; It may help to seek some help about that, you never know until you try.

You are probably one of if not the most amazing people I have ever met. You understand so much and are so sweet even after all this stuff has happened to you. However I don't want you to get hurt so try and use better judgement kay? But honestly you're my saving grace, because for awhile I was suicidal but whenever I talked to you it just calmed me down and you make me determined never to do that because it'd hurt you (I think). You're an angel while still being so human. And maybe I sound weird but all I'm saying is the truth.

To be as brutally honest as I can be, I watch your journal for the art. Not all of it, just the FFVII stuff, because most of the other fandoms I don't really know. I almost never read posts, but then you're not the only one I do that to either - a regularly skim past quite a few people on my flist without reading a word they've posted, so you're not alone there.

I'm here for the fanworks, but I try to be nice about it though.

I never would have connected the person I met and hung out with all weekend and the person who writes this journal if I hadn't known ahead of time that this was you. You seemed so sure of yourself and content in your talent. You always seem so unsure here. I don't know your history, but it sounds like you have a lot of crap going on a lot of the time. Whatever, I know a lot of people do, and this is certainly the place to let it out, but I refuse to judge things on that. The bottom line is, I think you have the ability and strength to be whoever you want to be. If the person who lets others sometimes dictate too much of their life (IMO) is who you want to be, then I wish you all the best. But I don't know that that IS who you want to be. Maybe it's just easier.

From my pov, I think you have a tremendous reserve of personal power and influence over others, and I think you realize it, but you think it only works one way. The way you're doing it now does get people attracted to you. I think people love you. I think there are some that love you because they're attracted to insecurity (many people are), and of course people want to be associated with talent. But it's /your/ talent, not theirs, and not theirs to own, manipulate or influence.

I also think that when you realize that you do have influence on others, regardless of whether you try to please them (they'll deal - from experience, there will be some adjustment on their part, but eventually, they'll deal), that you can (and need to) be responsible for your own life and your actions in it, and that you do have some control over the situations and people presented to you - I think you're going to find that not only will people still love you (and that the ones left will be the ones worth accepting love from), but that you'll attract a healthier environment, and healthier people.

Don't be afraid. People will still love you when you grow into your strength.

I think you're an incredibly kind and interesting person, all the rest said.

It's YOUR art. Stop doing it with others in mind and STOP apologizing because of your comics and such. If your little LJ following can't live without Legends, then honestly, fuck them.

Also, those plushie bookmarks? Very cute, but why are they plushies again? They're super deformed chara drawings if you leave out the stitches. Guess I just don't get the whole plushie drawing thing since we aren't talking about actual plushies.

So...she should do art for herself, but you don't like the way she's doing it?

Good one.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I just don't understand some of it but then again I'm only here to look at the art in general so I don't have to understand.

You however do prove my point of her having a little LJ following.

What I really think about you, Luco, is your an amazing person. You glow when you talk about something that you absolutely love. People are drawn to your natural charisma. You can be shy and afraid to tell people how you feel. But I wouldn't change anything about you, except maybe that allergy of yours.
