So with the no fan art of your characters thing…. It seems a bit odd and I’m sorry for saying that,but it intrigues me why someone’s wouldn’t wanna see other people draw their characters
I've been asked this 100s of times, and have had people constantly question this boundary of mine and ask me to explain myself.
I've exhausted all my energy and patience for questions about my stance on fanart. I don't feel like having to defend myself again, and again, and again.. 😞
I don't expect people to understand my stance on fanart, and you don't have to understand it in order to respect it. Just as I don't have to understand anyone else's boundaries to stay behind the line.
I am very uncomfortable with any form of fanart being made for me. Of my FNAF redesigns, my sona, my ocs, you name it, it counts. I don't expect anyone to understand it, I just want people to respect that boundary.
"How are we supposed to show our support for you then?" Comments. That's it. All I look forward to when I post art is reading all the nice comments people have left me. Truly, comments are all I want. Fanart just makes me feel awful.

ngl, the more I think about it, the more I feel conflicted over how people sexualize my characters.
On the one hand, it would be silly to deny that I don't go out of my way to create aesthetically pleasing/attractive characters because I love to draw what I enjoy, and I love it when people simp for them.
But on the other hand, sometimes it does bother me that people are so fixated on sex and their own arousal that they miss important lore/plot information that I get a bit frustrated

I'm losing braincells here.
A trans person asking you to respect their pronouns is not the same thing as a cis person not wanting to be called cis.
Like. You are cis if you identify with the gender you were born as.
It's not a slur, it's not just some derogatory word or something, it's an ADJECTIVE to better communicate what someone means.
It's like. Tall and short. You can have short women and you can have tall women.
Theyre both still women! But one is tall and one is short!!!
So saying "I don't know why we can't respect someone when they say they don't want to be called cis" IS SO STUPID.
Cis women who don't wanna be called cis don't want to be called that because they think that only they, cis women, are real women. They'd call a trans woman a trans woman, sure! But then they'd call themselves the "real" women! Like oh my god.
Cis isn't a slur and it's not a bad word. The only people I've seen using the "don't call us cis, we're just women" were transphobes.

Considering you too are a fan of two very good book series (aftg and trc) do you happen to have any recs?
Hi
Thank you for your trust.
I wouldn't say I have a rec that's in the same vibe as these two but i DO have a book rec, I read this a few weeks ago and it's really really really good, now please welcome on stage
The charioteer, by Mary Renault
It's a queer 1953 novel with everything one needs (hospitalized soldiers, male nurses, pretentious and/or mentally unstable queer friends, poetry books, windy countryside, sailors).
I would make fanart of it if I had free time.
Hopefully someday I will.
Anyway, go read the the book, its's 100% worth it.

I think the most upsetting thing about being a recovering addict is seeing how other people talk about addicts. A vast majority of Americans fucking DESPISE addicts and they are constantly demonized at every turn, God forbid that addict is homeless. It's honestly shocking to see how fast addicts are brought up as a "gotcha" to shoot down arguments for social or housing programs.
Like damn, I'm already dealing with trying not to abuse this substance and getting my life together, which is hard enough on its own, I don't need the knowledge that the average person thinks I am the scum of the Earth. I don't like knowing that if I am ever homeless or in a tough living situation, I will be one of the first people thrown under the bus. I'm already going through enough, I'm already the victim of a very upsetting illness, I don't need to deal with the vile hatred of the average person in my country, too.

too much public focus on the reader's experience of a fic. too much framing the reader as the expert. the fic is for the writer. the writer is the expert on their work. you don't like it? zip your lil lid and hit the back arrow. it's like. so simple 😐
