ICON // Animation Meme

###FAQ### PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING! People often leave comments on my artwork or send me messages and tell me I’m an “icon“ or I’m their “idol“ or their role model. I know when people say this they mean it as a compliment and I’m supposed to be flattered- but the reality is these kinds of statements.... Absolutely terrify me. I’m not an icon. I’m not a role model. I never set out to be emulated. I just wanted to express myself and work as an artist. But I am a deeply troubled person, I have some pretty significant mental health issues, I’m incredibly socially awkward and inept at conversations, I can be careless and scatterbrained and avoidant. I’m not an icon, in just Some Guy.

With this I wanted to express my feelings on this topic-
