I already commented on the post but

"#bc they are my own and not canon. and i don’t want people to think i’m wildly misunderstanding the character#bc i more than understand and am also invested in the boundaries of canon. but i also like doing what i want#and deconstructing and reconstructing narrative and characterization#and i feel like people won’t know that but i also feel so silly putting a disclaimer over everything i draw of being like#‘oh this is my own thing actually’ LOL"

I relate to that so hard with soooo many of my stories. Like I brought up my own version of The Boys™ but genuinely I feel this with so many of my interests. Like, Undertale most of them because it genuinely has a super deep complex story a lot of people tend to misunderstand or not care about or not get the themes, and I love talking about The Themes and How Cool The Game Is and Common Misconceptions

Then I make a fanfiction that's like. Nothing like canon even a little bit. Genuine it is sometimes the fucking opposite of the Point Of The Game and like if someone ever pointed that out to me I would shake them and go I KNOW I KNOW I CARE ABOUT IT WAY MORE THAN YOU DO LET ME EXPLAIN IN DETAIL JUST DON'T INSULT ME OVER IT I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

YEAA U GET IT HAHA! i don’t feel that way about every series bc i like to think im pretty decent with Media Literacy and like to respect authors wishes whatnot but like.. in particular stuff that’s both extremely oversaturated to the public and/or purposefully vague enough in either character or plot so it has room for exploration (like pokemon and undertale) by its Very Nature people are gonna take it and run with it! that’s why so many of those undertale aus got crazy popular, people just like pondering the “what ifs” and i think that’s wonderful. on the other side i know how frustrating as it is to see people obviously misunderstand smth in a piece of work you hold dear but in the end i don’t think it’s very productive to be mad about esp if you don’t have Ownership over that work. for better or for worse putting things out there for an audience people will always engage with it differently and it’s fine tbh.

ON A SIDE NOTE thank u for the extremely nice tags and comments 😭😭 it’s smth that i get so easily self conscious about even if i know it doesn’t really matter but its always so kind to hear that you enjoy my stuff and can relate to my plights haha

#oh the trials and tribulations of engaging w stories in a vacuum #it’s so case by case basis and my autistic ass more than understands how personal it can feel with certain shows/series/ect. #but sometimes..people take this shit way too seriously LOL #i’m just trying not to step on anyone’s toes and do my own thing bc i’m passionate about it

[pyroexcape]

cringe is dead though so take this anyways. that one princess mononoke scene redraw

#not tagging this myself sorry <3 people will either see it or they wont lmao

[pyroexcape]

when you draw something just for self indulgence but then go too hard on it and get mad that you made it too cringe to share. this sideblog was an attempt to not care about that and draw things without worry but apparently there is no limit to what my brain is embarrassed about

#tbh? less about the drawings and more like.. i’m afraid to share my visions of the characters i have LOL #bc they are my own and not canon. and i don’t want people to think i’m wildly misunderstanding the character #bc i more than understand and am also invested in the boundaries of canon. but i also like doing what i want #and deconstructing and reconstructing narrative and characterization #and i feel like people won’t know that but i also feel so silly putting a disclaimer over everything i draw of being like #‘oh this is my own thing actually’ LOL #anyways. long winded ramble over how i drew that princess mononoke scene with my vers of silver/gold but im too much of a coward to share

Hi so what's the deal with your pokemon gen 2 art like why is some of it tagged as silver/gold and some as "ocs" or "fire escape". Like I don't mean to be rude but those ocs do look suspiciously like the gen 2 characters

Fire escape is what ive titled my personal kinda re-write project for the GSC plot! Its still a pokemon story largely inspired by some stuff from the manga, and the similarity between casts was always meant to be 100% transparent. apologies if it was misleading! 

The only art I have tagged as silver+gold I actually drew ages ago before i started writing my own thing, they aligned way closer to the actual characters at the time i drew them, and so i felt fine tagging them as such. I understand the confusion though! 

I've actually been waffling back and forth on how to approach tags since this certainly falls into the gray area of “taking a 2-dimensional character from a thing I like and turning it into my own with obvious inspiration”.

With the intention of how tags are used, I decided to go against tagging them as ‘gold, silver, crystal’ ect, since what I have in mind for this story most certainly will diverge enough from ‘canon’ I feel like it’d eventually be MORE confusing if i continued to tag the characters as their offical counterparts. (Especially since they have different names and everything, lmao).

I mostly feel a little guilty using a tag for self-indulgent stuff that feels so far removed from the traditional narrative, it's easier to just post them on their own, yknow? In that sense, yeah, i consider what i’ve done with the characters and story just me doing my own thing- with some obvious springboards that i’m not trying to be deceptive about. I really dont mind whatever people tag them as when reblogging them or anything though tbh. This is just for my own fun anyway!
