"But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me"

I know everyone was able to figure out my pet pretty easily based on my hints (and my art style that I didn't even realize I had) but I am so happy that you like them! Not only inspired by my favorite song but also named after another MB20 song, Kody was the result of many hours sketching ideas and trying to come up with something dramatic and unique only to be thrown out the window when I came back to the basics, deciding that I wanted my first staff pet to be a visual story of, well, me.

Kody's adolescent stage reflects most of my youth. Always feeling like I needed to hide away to avoid "being a burden" and being near constantly in tears for never understanding why I couldn't just have fun or make friends or understand simple instructions. Life (and my own mind) was too loud to handle on a good day, and I never knew why.

Jump forward to now, the adult stage where I now know I am ADHD and Autistic, learning to love my differences and accept that I simply face unique challenges to life and that it's okay. Music has always been an escape for me, and I have been allowing myself to lean further into that as I learn to navigate life as an invisibly disabled person. Just as I leaned into music to help inspire this adopt for you all. I wanted it to reflect my journey and inspire others who may face similar challenges. Sometimes you just gotta tune out the world and lean into yourself for support, and that is 100% valid <3

Thank you all for the continued support, I love being an artist for CS so much!! I hope I can continue to create adopts you love!!
