#cuz nothing makes me hate a ship more than its avid supporters refusing to leave me alone

[tea-cat-arts]

Hey, guys, if an artist/writer says “I don’t want to draw/write xyz thing” for whatever reason, maybe just don’t challenge them on it. Like, the person isn’t gonna just throw their hands up in the air and go “oh yes- because you are objectively correct my boundaries are suddenly gone and I’m willing to do it,” they’re probably just gonna get mad at you because their feelings were probably never about objectivity in the first place

#honkai impact #genshin impact #though this was kinda brought on by a recent discussion this post is not solely about it #it’s kinda just been a long time coming #cuz nothing makes me hate a ship more than its avid supporters refusing to leave me alone #I don’t ever want to draw Kaeluc romantically. I don’t like the ship #I know they aren’t technically brothers. I know about the whole sworn siblings thing. I know how it’s used in a romantic context #I simply do not like the pairing #Kaebedo shippers took a ship a used to be completely neutral on and made me hate it by refusing to leave me alone #I’m not drawing any heterosexual Yae content #‘well she’s not canonically a lesbian-‘ #I do not care. I read her as lesbian. I’m not drawing her romantically with either Ayato or Kalpas #same thing if the character is either explicitly a minor is implied to be a minor or just looks like a child most of the time #I do not want to deal with those ships #and I refuse to touch legal lolis with a 12ft pole #I get the pushback when people are trying to force their standards/interpretations on people who do like these things #and I am very much pro ‘just mind your own damn business’ on most shipping controversies #but me saying ‘I don’t like this thing’ after being asked to draw it is not a personal attack on you
