Cheer Up, Captain

I believe we all understand the kind of hurt that THEpinknekos experiences when it comes to judging our art. This is not to belittle his feelings on the matter, but to help you understand. Understand what, I'll leave that to speculation. There are many things that I'm trying to convey. I am an empath. That is to say, I physically feel what other people feel. And it can expand to non-living people, as well. Characters in fanfiction? Movies? Stories? Simple pictures? I feel their emotion, if I really think about it.

The Captain posts a picture about how he is depressed and lonely and feels ignored; I cry. I become numb. I can't draw. I just... want... to sit there... Sit and drown in my thoughts...

Now, I'm not sharing this to make him feel awful about being sad. That is the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do.

I'm talking to you now, Nekos, so please listen. Whenever you feel depressed; whenever you feel like you could drown in your sorrows, know that I am will share the burden. Let me carry that burden. Let me help you. Don't push me away. That's all I ask. Please don't push me away... That's why I'm your first mate. So I can share your burdens. So please let me.
