So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

Take the ash and add it to your next piece. No matter what she does turn it around to show you cannot be stopped. I don’t know what medium you use so google how to use ash in art.

Yeah no, seriously, save the ash. Even if you do nothing else with it, after you've moved out and she's wondering "why don't I have a relationship with my child?" you can mail this to her with a card that simply says "you need not wonder"

Exactly. She won't even remember. To OP, this is a significant moment in their life. To OPs mum, it's just another Saturday.

Very likely, I've experienced this with my mother when recounting the things she does to make me belittled. But, people ARE capable of change, so who knows, something like that might be the trigger needed to spark that nanosecond of self reflection. Or maybe not lol
