I honestly feel so bad for the other athletes living in the fox tower like first they have to share a building and parking lot with he foxes who is literally the worst exy team in the country and then suddenly they win championship but then also there’s a murderer and son of the butcher and then a “sociopath” like I would not want to live in the fox tower either

What the hell is going on with fandom in general?

So, I'm an MDZS fanfic writer. I'm no stranger to getting comments asking for quicker updates or demanding I write a sequel. It kind of sucks to get a comment like that instead of one pointing out things they liked, but I understand why it happens. It's a big fandom, there's a lot of stories being updated and churned out every day. It's easy to forget the people behind the stories.

On top of writing MDZS fics, I've also written fics for several smaller cdrama fandoms. I don't get as many comments or kudos, but I enjoy writing the fics, and the readers are kind and appreciative. It's a welcome break from the frenzy a larger fandom can be.

However, recently I've been getting more comments on my small fandom fics that are similar to ones I get on my MDZS fics. People asking for faster updates, making assumptions that a oneshot will be continued, even complaining about aspects of my fic. And it really sucks, even more than it did when I got those types of comments on MDZS fics. Because like I said, MDZS is huge, so you're bound to get comments now and again you don't like. But when this kind of attitude bleeds into fandoms that have less than 1k fics, less than 500, heck even less than 20... it really sucks. It really feels like people everywhere only see fic authors as content making machines. No matter where you go, no matter how small your fandom is, there's no escape, apparently.

ANYWAY please make sure to comment nice things on authors' fics. It really brightens our days!

Ngl I am REALLY TEMPTED to rant about the little design changes between the pre-roe character designs and the post-apathy character designs. Like I really really want to point out all the tiny little details of things I have moved and body language of the pose I chose and the addtion/removal of elements of each character for Heartless.

Because I made those decisions with foreshadowing and symbolism, whether in mind or something I noticed after.

mmm but its late so instead Im going to cash in on that ask from @hhoneycloves a day after I drop the Penitence character reference. Just to give you guys time to absorb the sad babygirl.

(my main blog is still shadowbanned but i have some Thoughts.tm and i really want to share them with the world, so i'm sending them here. ok? This rant is going to be spoiler Free)

It's sad how Virgin Soul anime ruined any possibility of future Shingeki no Bahamut anime with the usage of the former anime Genesis cast.

Genesis had it's premise, sometimes bit goofy, sometimes serious. Original anime story with High Fantasy fun. And overall it shown respect to the characters. Azazel was a pretty scary villain, Cerberus came to have a little fun. Lucifer was there for a second but looked stunning while doing so. Genesis Mcs were cool, they were bit goofy sometimes but the story treated them with love and i loved them in turn aswell. Jeanne d'Arc was also my most fave Jeanne d'Arc anime portrayal ever. Other villains and background characters? Everyone is my big fave.

However the spin-off series Virgin Soul? Ridiculed literally everyone who ever shown up before. Left almost no stones unturned

Azazel? He's a pure punching bag now.

Cerberus? Is a brothel sex worker now for some reason!?

Lucifer? While in Genesis they shown him as cautious but reluctant to act (probably bc animating him would cost way too much Lol), now he's showing up more but he simply lazes around reading books when His People are in Need. With the most horrendous example showing in this gif:

Which i could comment a lot on, but i'm just going to say: Original Lucifer would Never. Original ShinBaha Lucifer would literally drop anything to help his people fight, even though he's tired and wants only to rest now. And as i'm reading his whole story in the game Right Now it just, Breaks me.

Jeanne d'Arc? I-i don't want to talk about it right now.😶

Some of beloved characters from the former show were also pointlessly killed off without reason in Virgin Soul and there is nothing giving them back.

But that's mostly former villain/background characters.

In Genesis The Main character is a ginger afro guy, Favaro Leone. Something so rare yet so beautiful when it comes to MCs, and the show treated him with respect. Literally one of the greatest characters for me. The show in the first episode made a point that women find him handsome (Which is very important for my further rant). He was my Puss in Boots cool guy. (i love Puss in Boots ok)

So what happened in Virgin Soul? He's a supporting role, but Now whoever wrote the new show mocked him for his looks a lot. First the show made his afro less curly which felt weird, but that's not it yet.

They had a girl in the show whose whole thing was finding men attractive, and she only found him attractive once his hair was all damp and straightened with water. 🙃

Guess what they also did to him, guess what.

They shaved him on multiple occassions as a joke. Joke on his hairstyle. Cause you know, he has afro.🙃🙃🙃

And it's been years but i'm still so mad, and my pain only grows as i'm reading Lucifer's event stories from the original game. What in the world.

Anyways this is my rant: My fave characters in the world will likely never show up again in any anime continuation because of how Virgin Soul ruined them, their arcs, their personalities and everything else. (i'm not mentioning the fact that the game is finished and there likely won't be anything anymore anyways, but if not for Virgin Soul and it's writers i'm sure there could've been something more, or at least we'd have a less dead fandom now (for many reasons. the show had Problems and fandom was at war))

[airbrushfather]

clip clop. read the fucking fic

[fuckindiscourseblog]

actually cannot fucking stand when people take a serious issue & say bc of it's seriousness you have to do/not do minor thing that barely influences the issue as if it's akin to active support.

AI generation isn't about making anything.

AI generation is about avoiding needing to engage with humans to make something.

AI generation is about avoiding needing to reward humans when they have made something (not necessarily/just financially - the absence of engagement/feedback/acknowledgment is just as critical).
