> be me a couple of years ago
> have a crappy Instagram account for posting mediocre art (mostly Pokemon fan art)
> get a decent amount of traffic because of XY hype
> just over 2k followers, not too crazy but enough for me to keep practicing
> start messaging with a "fan" of my art, guy that's a little younger than me (calling them Jake for the sake of this post)
> bond over a love for Pokemon, talk daily, Jake even breeds me shiny versions of some of my favorite Pokemon, gives me a ton of legendaries to fill up my dex
> after awhile start having some phone calls on Skype
> Jake never flirts or anything like that, only compliment he gives me aside from liking my artwork is him telling me that he really likes my voice
> bf feels uneasy because I have a new friend that's a guy that I talk to a lot, but it's actually the most platonic and pure relationship I've ever had with someone of the opposite sex
> time goes by, become better friends, tell Jake things that I haven't told anyone else because I really trust him for some reason
> eventually Jake makes it apparent that he's looked up old accounts I've had on other websites, learning things about me without me needing to tell him myself, Jake is pretty up front about this and I found it a tiny bit weird/creepy, but continued on with the friendship
> Jake is a pretty solid support system, seems to genuinely care about me and my well being, asks me stuff about myself and about my life all the time
> birthday rolls around, Jake buys me Omega Ruby via Amazon
> bf even more suspicious and tries not to show it too much, but friendship with Jake is still super platonic
> time goes by
> Jake wants more attention, wants to talk on skype and hear my voice pretty often
> I'm super busy with moving into a new apartment and other IRL things, don't have Internet for a little while because broke
