Alright, fuck it. I’m getting sick of the bullshit.
I’m gonna try out Helluva Boss and/or Hazbin Hotel, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
Before anyone dreads this means I’ve lobotomized myself and lost all semblance of standards, I’ll have you know I spent the past 5-6 years picking apart an absolute mess of a fanfic/AU (complete with sloppy/samey character design) and written up several Word docs trying to understand what and why any of it even was. Even now, they’re incomplete because I’m missing pieces, and keep finding new ones at random (and they tend to raise more questions than they answer, but I guess that’s the “fun” of it).
If my opinion on the above is nowhere near that extreme, it does not mean I lack the critical thinking to…what, agree with you?

People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.

Okay, I was scrolling through Deltarune posts and I may or may not have figured something out. Is the design of the new heart queen (and possibly the others) a jab at people who draw Lancer as other suits with the excuse that we never see the other suits?
I apologize for leaving this to gather dust for like....four years. But since the damage is already done (as in, I was super wrong anyways, Card Queens are not canon, or in the game, and they never will be, but I take comfort in the fact that I feel I was uniquely wrong), yes, I am confirming the Fake Queens are a jab.
Honestly, it's a real pet peeve of mine when fanon and headcanons and the like tend to be based on "oh, we couldn't possibly know this information/we don't know any more details, therefore here's my theory/portrayal," when...did they even try to look? Or sometimes they just ignore it for the sake of their headcanons, and everything based on them afterward is way off-base.

Why does Fablepaint draw such mean spirited art of Rocky. Is it a personal sense of humor kind of thing? Or does disturbingly mean spirited art the only way for FablePaint to draw this character. Is it possible for some more lighthearted and optimistic stories regarding Rocky to show up anytime soon? I’m not saying this to try to be offensive or aggressive, I just think the world’s depressing enough, why make the fictional world sad as well. I do love the comic, I just wish it was happier.
I don't think Fable's art of Rocky is especially mean-spirited. At least no more so than mine has been. Rocky has always been a character with a knack for getting himself into trouble. I do know that Fable likes Rocky and finds various aspects of Rocky's personality and circumstances pretty relatable. I think a lot of what you're seeing actually comes from a place of affection, and maybe even a little bit of vicarious self-deprecation. I will tell you from my own experiences, this is very common among creators (myself included). A character may not be an intended self-insert of any sort, but you inevitably still end up with bits and pieces of yourself reflected therein. And in many ways, you're also inevitably sorting out some turmoil close to your own heart through the character and the story they inhabit.
-----------------
About the broader topic of sad things in fiction... Yeah, the world is harsh, cruel, and unfair even at the best of times, but I don't think art that fully disregards this does much service to anyone. The most fluffy, pastel-colored, marshmallow-mild media will still tend to present us with some conflict, because that's how a story manages to resonate. It's hard to convey something meaningful about human resilience, or abiding love, enduring friendship, confronting inner demons, triumph over injustice, or about the absurdity of living without acknowledging the darkness. Even if you're just writing something to make light of the implacable dark, it must be there for you to laugh at.
I think it's fine to use fiction as a temporary retreat from your own real life concerns. And I think it's fine to have comfort characters who you turn to when you need some uplifting. There are a lot of really sweet and lovely fan-works featuring Rocky out there that are much gentler with him than Fable or I will be. You can stick with those! That's okay! But canonically, he's part of a story about a tumultuous time in history, and a tumultuous time in his own troubled life. He's a flawed character surrounded by other flawed characters. He's willfully taken on the role of a violent criminal, in fact. And though I don't think the story of Lackadaisy is without happy, silly, lighthearted aspects, it's not only that. I can't change that without undoing everything I've been working toward. I hope that's understandable.

Thought I’d share this spider that lives in my room, in the corner right above my bed.
I like to think it’s protecting me from bugs I don’t like.
