I hate seeing people (especially on Twitter) constantly hating on ATYD as if it were a published book and not a fanfiction someone wrote entirely for free, spending months creating it just for our enjoyment. Calling it the 'downfall of our fandom' and so much other nonsense is ridiculous. If you don’t like a fanfic, that’s fine, but coming online to constantly hate on it is honestly disgusting. Have some fandom etiquette. These are the kinds of things that are ruining fandom and the reason so many writers stop writing.

i love ur fics and the anti ai posts on ur blog i think ur amazing

you've made my day honestly, if I could fight AI with my bare fists I would. I really appreciate you <3

[aeoneskova]

Btw I hate AI. I hate all forms of AI idc how pretentious or fun killing I sound I think AI will be the death of critical thinking and literacy. I fear if we let it take over it’ll take away jobs and water down art taking the hard work and humanity out of it.

That said, I’d prefer you not put anything relating to my fics into AI.

Silly me googled ppp today bc I was going to edit some stuff and couldn’t be bothered to hunt through my ao3 for it. Silly me also stumbled across character AI bots (is that what they’re called) inspired by ppp James??

So I will say if you want to create your own complicated or mentally ill versions of James with AI that’s your own choice. You do that! Not my business. If you’re simply inspired by it and none of my own ideas or work are being fed into it, my own feelings on AI have no business dictating what you do. BUT I ask that you please never feed any of my actual writing into AI.

I’ve seen AI artwork of my fics too and it’s also always given me a funny feeling. So just setting the boundary, please don’t put any of my actual writing into AI please and thank you 🩷

It always cracks me up to see “I don’t support jkr!!!” In pinned posts here

Like baby… you’re on tumblr, you’re queer, you use they/them pronouns, and ship wolfstar and jegulus… we know you don’t support jkr

why is half of fandom culture rn just hate. like everyone’s either talking shit about each other or posting content promoting hate for hc. i’m so sick of the only marauders content im seeing be “what ur least favorite ship” or “what a hc you really hate” or the worst one of all “what a popular fic you really hate”. i’m actually so lost on when we started to allow this to be acceptable fandom etiquette. you guys do realize fanfic is free right? meaning none of these authors owe you anything. the best way i’ve seen it put is “this is content that is shared with you not made for you” by messrsrobyn on tiktok. meaning take a step back remember that this is supposed to be for fun, and sharing opinions and promoting hate are 2 very different things.

The proof 😭😭 that’s hilarious

I suppose perciver isn’t as recognisable as something like drarry but I’d still feel called out by it lmao

Perciver being autocorrected to perceiver will forever haunt me

I just read Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and it was so well done, you're so talented! I love those boys and the way you wrote their relationship and it's so nice to see them getting a fic of their own. Great job! and THANK YOU!

❤️ Jane

Hi Jane! Thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it, I really appreciate the support <33

[aeoneskova]

Hello! Wow, you’ve made my day!

At first I was so confused, I couldn’t remember i’d put a rickroll in there like why?? Did I do that?? Lmao anyways…

I can’t thank you enough for all the support, it means the world to me <33

Lirens Adventures in GOFLD Day 1: Year One

why tf was I rickrolled in a Harry potter fan fiction

WHY THE FUCK WAS I RICKROLLED IN A HARRY POTTER FAN FICTION

Jokes aside this is really great, and I feel Percy’s pain tbh. I need to find the author on tumblr and thank them personally for writing this masterpiece

@aeoneskova

[aeoneskova]

It’s so funny to me cause sometimes I forget people know me for my fics. We’re all just in this little bubble together drawing and writing stories and sharing our thoughts I love it 🫶

I love being in a small fandom because why am I mutuals with the author of my favorite fic? And how do more than half of the works in my fav ship belong to other mutuals of mine???

Like what??

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

It’s really disheartening and sad to see people arguing with me that it’s okay to critique or criticize fanfic without consent. Like do we respect fic authors and fics so little?

“Oh, if we don’t criticize fics writers will never learn” NO?? If you discourage people from writing they’ll never learn.

And also, it isn’t your place? what possibly makes you qualified to do that? If you have professional or formal knowledge and care that much, offer to be a beta! Those of us who want someone qualified to critique our work have betas. Otherwise keep your mouth shut.
