I have such big feelings right now about how this fandom treats artists. This is the one hill I am willing to die on: all fandom artists deserve respect regardless of what ships they create art for.

Listen to me. Traditional fandom is dying. AI art is cropping up everywhere in fandom spaces, stealing work from real artists while getting twice as much recognition.

Meanwhile, the artists who are clawing and fighting to stay in these spaces are subject to constant criticism and harassment. They are taking hours to work on pieces that they share with us for free only to be bombarded with ungrateful comments. And on top of that, their work is constantly being stolen and reposted on other platforms without proper credit.

Fandom artists are fighting for their lives right now and the least that we can do is pay them the basic decency of shutting our mouths if we don't have anything nice to say.

If you are not paying the artist, then you are not entitled to art of your favorite ship.

If you are not paying the artist, then you are not entitled to art that fits into your specific interpretion of a ship.

If you want fandom artists to keep creating content that they share with us for free out of the kindness of their hearts, then you better learn to start supporting them.

Fandom artists are part of our community, and they SEE YOU making these negative comments. You may think that you're only putting down one specific artist, but they all see you. And they feel discouraged, and they feel angry, and they feel unwelcome, and many of them leave.

If you wonder why so many artists are putting their work behind patreon and withdrawing from fandom spaces, it's because of the way we treat them. Do better.

#this #you all know you wouldnt say this shit to someones earnest face as theyre showing you art they made #youre better people than that right? #treat people with respect or block them and move on

No matter what, I know every post from @jmoonjones is not only going to be beautifully executed, but make me grin! An exceptional talent and the sweetest artist around!

Thank you for the sprinkles of joy you bring into fandom. 🫶

Creator Highlight #4 - @jmoonjones

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

If you've been around for a minute, you've likely seen the distinctive art style of @jmoonjones. Injecting humor into her pieces, either by Brayxis tormenting Cassian in a myriad of creative schemes, or the famous Shadow Babies, Jmoonjones keeps us all well entertained in her free time.

Outside of being a wildly talented artist, Jmoonjones is also incredibly lovely and wonderfully generous. She makes our nessian community warmer, brighter, and an overall fun space to be in.

@the-lonelybarricade is the most beautiful feysand writer, @the-lonelybarricade is the most kind feysand writer, @the-lonelybarricade is the most magnificent feysand writer.

A living legend, thank you for being you and continuing to awe and inspire me on writing as well as the level of kindness and thoughtfulness that can be poured into fandom!

Creator Highlight #4 - @the-lonelybarricade

Welcome back to Feysand Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

If you've ever looked for a feysand fic to read, you've likely come across @the-lonelybarricade. Outside of being exceptionally talented, @the-lonelybarricade also takes the award for one of the nicest people in the fandom. When she's not writing, you can often find her in the comment sections of other writers leaving encouragement and other generally positive feedback.

As if that wasn't enough, @the-lonelybarricade spends much of her free time dreaming up ways to make the feysand fandom feel more inclusive and interactive for the ship she cares about so much. If you've ever participated in a feysand week wordle, played a ship specific dating sim, or had your fic featured in a quiz for other folks to find- all of that was created by @the-lonelybarricade.

We want to say thank you for your contributions, as well as your positivity. You make this space a better place and we are so grateful to have you with us.

Check out some of @the-lonelybarricades fics- we chose three of our personal favorites:

A Court of Faded Dreams: In her grief after Rhys sacrifices himself to restore the Cauldron, Feyre accidentally sends herself back in time. Back in her human body, in her early days in the Spring Court, Feyre must be careful how she alters the timeline as she tries to save Rhys and Prythian from Under the Mountain. - “There is much that has changed already. You are no longer a fae with a human heart, but a human with a fae heart. You do not love the High Lord of Spring, but the Lord of Night. Be careful how you tread, Cursebreaker, for all your new choices will have consequences."

As The River Flows: As Feyre lamented quietly over the misfortune of her life, there, in the marketplace, she heard a merchant instruct to its patron: Place a butterfly wing under your tongue before you sleep, and you will dream of your true love.

Darling, Let's Run: A month after her sister mysteriously went missing, Feyre receives a letter instructing she leave the village immediately. And the letter's messenger? A curious black cat. Or: the Cat!Rhys fic we have all been waiting for

@separatist-apologist never misses and her elucien dynamics have set a precedence that I'm afraid sjm will never be able to live up to .... I haven't managed to read through them all yet, but as I have meandered through each offering, I'm floored over and over by the depth of creativity and the well of skill that MB brings to this fandom and pairing.

Creator Highlight #4 - @separatist-apologist

Welcome back to Elucien Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

Call It What You Want To -  Realizing Elain is looking for something more, Helion offers her an opportunity she can't pass up and a reason for Lucien to stick around for longer than a day. Helion has more up his sleeve than just a little matchmaking, and his actions have far reaching consequences for everyone in Pyrthian.

Right Where You Left Me - Six years after leaving his hometown for good, Lucien Vanserra returns to bury his father. Upon arrival, he realizes he left more behind than just bad memories.

Wonderland - In a kingdom where a Maiden is forced to be sacrificed to appease the monster in the woods, Elain Archeron is chosen out of spite by her spurned suitor, Graysen. Trapped in a tower with her beast, Elain must unravel if she can truly trust the monster promising not to hurt. She doesn't know he's freed every maiden he's ever been sent...but her? Her, he intends to keep.
