Thank you for the honest answer! I didn’t send that message with the intention to ask you to cater your works to anybody’s tastes, and I definitely support you writing and drawing whatever you like. I do still enjoy your portrayal of the pokemon world, and I’ll continue to support you on that too =>

I really enjoy your posts, developing the pokemon world in a thoughtful and detailed manner! There's one thing I'd like to ask though, is there a reason why you sometimes put down some of the canon characters or attribute awful flaws to them? :/ It does feel a bit disheartening, as a fan of some of those characters haha ^^;

Honestly? Personal choice. It’s my blog at the end of the day, and I find some of the characters jarring or uninteresting, the anime especially pushes pretty OP, often loud, and unbalanced characters on viewers. It doesn’t suit my tastes, it doesn’t suit how the world works here. For that reason I choose to write differently about them. This however is my opinion, and at no point do you have to concern yourself with it, if it’s not how you view something.

The beauty of the internet is that we are all entitled to a space to communicate ideas and thoughts, and so long as no laws are broken, and you aren’t unkind, people can either enjoy the content, or move on and find something they like even better, or if you’re anything like me, just make your own blog to put your own thoughts and feelings out there! Which has proven to be very enjoyable too, so I always encourage others to go about voicing their likes and dislikes in this way.

I understand people like certain characters, they enjoy different things to me, but it’s also totally not my business what they believe in, nor my concern. I do my best to be polite, strategic, fair and honest, but I do not lose myself to the viewers, and will not be swayed in how I choose to run the blog. A lot of my narrative choices are based on personal wants or likes. Is that selfish? Yes entirely, a blog is just a collection of your own likes and thoughts, they are inherently self satisfying. Does that make it bad? No. Selfishness can be good in moderation, it can keep you sane and safe, and considering the tumblr blog is entirely free and regularly updated, I don’t feel the vast amounts of content created for nothing is a selfish act entirely. People often find a bit of intrigue and joy here.

Of course I mean no harm to you and those who enjoy the show, or certain characters, and encourage you to find more appropriate blogs if the ideas here upset you. Your experience online is tailored by your own choices, and the people you follow and interact with. I am here to enjoy the community just like you are, in the way I feel fits the world, and will continue to do so, because it’s a blog I run, and curate. It’s very easy to forget behind the blogs face, a real human with their own like and dislikes exists, and they make content often to lean into those things they enjoy because the shows and games just don’t provide enough.

I will not apologise for creating fan content, I will however encourage you to make healthy choices, and go forward with your own ideas and plans in place! There’s always more room for different opinions and viewpoints, and those can coexist with other people’s opinions if you let them. I’m sure a lot of the viewers here will agree with you, and enjoy things that perhaps aren’t framed in a nice light here, I know for a fact there’s some stances of characters and certain species that don’t suit folks, especially the younger crowd, but that is the choice of the blog. Please do block or delete us from your following list if it’s not suited to your tastes though, we don’t hold any hard feelings here. People gotta do what they gotta do.

#to be honest I asked because I wondered where the ideas of these characters as assholes even came from #and why #'just because i like it' is a perfectly valid reason however #respect to you!#I'll try to ignore the posts that really affect me and enjoy the rest!
