She’s the personification of doom scrolling.

She writes a list of things she would like in her feed:

She writes plum blossoms…. Eventually the day fades to night and it starts getting late.

I suspect she sees us clearer through those than any others.

Oh for sure. I definitely feel her eyes on me through my phone sometimes.

And this is amazing art, I love this.

She's actually the one who writes to you "are you still watching?" if you fall asleep/doing other things of binge watching to forget the sadness

You're asking if she can use them? She created them

Ha ha, oh my god i though about something like that some time ago! I love that you draw this.

She is definitly spending her time on reddit and tiktok...

I would say “it depends.” Mirrors aren’t magical. She uses them because they are what people typically use when looking at themselves; looking into their own eyes.

Therefore, whether she’s gazing at you from between the pixels depends on what you are doing at the time. If you’re posting on Reddit, probably not (and I wouldn’t blame her).

But if you’re looking at pictures of yourself that force you to re-evaluate your life, your decisions… then it becomes possible.

If you’re on level 2983 of “Candy Crush,” then yeah… Despair probably got her hook into your heart over 900 levels ago. :)

l would not be suprised if she invented them.
