It is very important, because every time someone puts a mic up to your face or writes something, it’s a part of your legacy that’s going out online. You wanna make sure that you’re being authentic to who you are, but it’s also scary, because in every interview, people want you to be vulnerable. But if you’re too vulnerable... the things that I say to you today could be totally acceptable but in six months, six years from now, it could be completely problematic. Everything that you say can be used against you if it’s printed on the internet. That’s why a lot of celebrities are skeptical about doing press at all, because it’s like anything that you can say can be twisted, can be misrepresented, or it could just mean something completely different.

There was a time not too long ago where the word ‘queer’ was like, almost like the f-a-g word. It was so offensive. And now it is the only terminology that can — one of the only words — that you can use to fully encompass the entire gay community or LGBTQ+ community. It’s just interesting to see how that shift has happened. Now other words that were acceptable then are not acceptable now, and might be acceptable again. It’s like fashion, you know? It changes like the wind, and it’s continuously changing at a rapid pace. Every day I find out about another word I can’t say, and I’m like, ‘Oh my goodness, well, that’s in my song. Do I change the lyrics?’ Even the nuance of like the ballroom community, there were certain words in my songs that I totally was like, “This is okay to say those songs have millions of views. Do I not perform those songs anymore? Do I now change it? I don’t want to offend this community even though I’m a part of the gay community, and those were words that I had heard used all the time and in my everyday vocabulary.’ It’s just a very difficult situation to navigate, and you’re always trying to like toggle back and forth with like ‘How much do I allow social media, and people’s feelings to affect my day-to-day life and my artistry?’ You have to tow that line and really work on that balance. It’s difficult. I love that you talked to Billy Porter because he’s one of my biggest mentors and inspirations. He’s wonderful, and he always has such great things to say. Him and RuPaul, anytime I’ve ever spoken to them, they just say things that are so prolific and give me so much food for thought and fill my heart up with so much wisdom and knowledge and passion and drive. I always leave feeling like a better version of myself than I started when I sat down to talk to them.

Hello there, Jakeos. Surpisingly, I managed to stumble upon my AskFm recently.
Yes, I am back. And I am proud to say that I have done a lot of stuff during the past few years. For example, I got my first taste in making VTuber-related Pixel Arts and started making a lot of them. Those few years have been quite busy.
Speaking of something busy, my schedule has been on fire during the past few months. What with all of the university work and the new games that came out, I have been quite a busy little bee. AskFm was abandoned since I had found different websites to use.
And yet, we still cannot forget where we came from. Family roots are important, and so are the friends that we made along the way. Do I miss this site? Yes? Do I think that I can make an epic return? I doubt it? But the good thing is that I answered a lot of good questions already, and I am proud that my past self took the time to leave an answer for each one of them.
Anyway, that is all that I have to say so far. Thank you for the question. I hope that you, and everyone else, have a wonderful day. :)

I'd say some of the best things that happened in 2023 is I did dbt which helped me learn how to manage certain situations and a change of outlook.
Going to Wildwood festival again after a couple years, was really lovely. I ended up meeting some nice people that I ended up friends with. Plus for the majority of the day I was with my mum and it's nice doing fun bonding stuff with her. I challenged myself to stay on my own for the rest of the day, and be at the festival solo, which was a big deal for me. As I get socially anxious at times. But the night went amazing and I got on well with so many people. It helped open my eyes to limitations I'd given myself over the years and how I was capable of more than I gave myself credit for.

So as the year went on I decided to do more stuff where I'd go out and explore, I made more of an effort to see the friends I have. Went to Thorpe Park, went to some parties, museums, cat cafes, conventions etc.

Then mid year went on two longer stays in London, where I explored, and also spent quality time with friends. I ended up meeting new people that I'm still in touch with, they're all wonderful. Did some super fun stuff whilst there!

---

Then I challenged myself to go to some meet up events locally, which always terrified me, but I wanted to do it, as its a good way to meet people. I managed to go to about 5ish in the end, which I'm proud of!

I've done so much more this year too. And although there were moments that weren't so great, and the end of the year lost momentum a bit. I'm excited to see what I can do next year. This year I really wanted to make sure that at the end, I could look back and have heaps of memories to fondly think of. Compared to the previous year, when I was in a never ending deep depression, illness and was in hospital, basically miserable. I didn't want another year to be wasted to nothingness, and I can say I achieved this goal well and truly. 😊😊
