My first and favorite OC

I created Jasper when I was 12 and he’s been through so many changes. He was originally a teenage girl named Jasmine who I aged up and made male once I started really getting into drawing.

He’s always been a very personal character to me, his struggles, likes, and dislikes are all ones that I share. I like to depict him as a young adult who’s healing through all that he’s been through, and while younger me loved to put him through terrible things and make him extremely angsty and miserable, older me wants nothing more for him than to heal and grow into an amazing person.

Does my new rendering remind anyone of anything?

Recently developed a new rendering style and I’ve been applying it to my OCs and self portraits. Does it look good and remind anyone of anything? (Slide 2 is a WIP I’m currently working on)

how do i know if i’m aromantic or if i’m just not used to romance?

Hi everyone, i (19F) have been really confused recently after being asked out for the first time in my life. Throughout middle school and high school I was generally considered to be undateable, at least to myself. I never felt physically attractive and my personality wasn’t something that boys my age gravitated towards. Therefore I was always used to being ignored when it came to romance and prioritized my friendships instead.

I just finished my freshman year of college and I had all my firsts: first kiss, make out sesh, lost my v card, all of that. I was also asked out and briefly dated someone. I ended up breaking things off because I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be feeling something romantic for him. I always labeled myself as bisexual because I felt the same about women as I did about men, but now I’m wondering if I feel indifferent to them both.

Everyone told me that romantic feelings aren’t this big train wreck, that you won’t just get hit with them all at once. They develop the longer you spend time with someone. I thought I was being too hasty with breaking up with him, but it’s been two months and I don’t really feel anything but regret. Not because I magically like him now but because he was a good person and the only person who’s ever found me attractive.

Is it possible I’m not aromantic and just not used to processing romantic feelings because I’ve never felt desired before? I’ve never been in this scenario before, where someone truly desired me, and maybe I just jumped the gun and abandoned ship. Or maybe I am aromantic and I did the right thing.

Any thoughts?
