sorry for AA, but i feel like i should say this

RIP to Yufka. she was a very popular Alien Stage artist and yesterday, march 13, she sadly took her own life. weeks prior, she deactivated her socials due to severe amounts of hate and bullying towards her and her content (she has never had any allegations or controversies, mind you). her family has been unaccepting of her art and are extremely religious, saying that her taking her life and her artwork were both sinful, and everyone online and within the fandom were incredibly upset at this, and started reuploading her art in defiance. Yufka was a kind and loving individual, and everyone who has spoken with her can tell you the same. all Yufka said that she wanted was to be remembered for her love of art, so i wanted to share some of her works here and link archives of her accounts so you can check her art out and just appreciate it. even if you're not in the ALNST fandom, her art really was beautiful and i think anyone can be able to appreciate it! she truly was an angel, and i hope everyone who knew her is healing. its heartbreaking to think that people are so comfortable being so cruel online. thank you, once again, sorry for the ask all (..◜ᴗ◝..)
