Can’t believe I finally finished this one. I made the lineart almost a year ago and I’d just started learning Procreate so coloring it seemed daunting. But I’m kinda glad I sat on it until I got a little better at drawing. So much love was poured into this, and I’m pretty happy with how it came out. I think it captures the sense of adventure, courage, and wonder I feel when I’m with him. ❤️

Also, if anyone has that Patrick meme of “me drawing my f/o vs me drawing my s/i”? 😂

Deidara, my muse, my free spirit, my babey boy. I'm so glad you found me all those years ago. Thank you for inspiring me all the time - in my creative pursuits, my passions, and to write my own path for life. You stick by me even when I'm losing it. Reminding me that I'm enough, and beautiful, as I am. And when you stop me to marvel at a flower with a peculiar shape or the sunlight streaming through the clouds - you remind me that this is what life's all about, the fleeting moments of beauty surrounding us in the everyday. I love you, Deidara. Happy Birthday, and I will happily be by your side for many more.

To celebrate I made us some bakudan onigiri with fancy Japanese rice and marinated eggs! Wrapping it was difficult but there was an attempt 😂 And we're going to visit an art museum today, and I can't wait to exchange opinions with him on everything 🤭
