#I can't believe I told people they could send me fanart and then they actually sent me fanart!!!!!

[overlymetaromantic]

I was very kindly asked about reference sheets for my comic's characters, which until that moment did not exist, but thanks to them asking now they do!!! I figured I may as well share what I made for them publicly as well, so please feel free to do whatever you want to with these details 👀 (+more character details below the cut!)

Karin: Highly self-assured with high self-confidence. As a default, she tends to assume she’s right about things, because the odds have almost always been in her favor—even when she’s wrong, she’s usually still picked up on some element of the truth. She’s a deeply empathetic person, but isn’t necessarily aware of just how affected she is by other people’s emotional states. All of this combined defines both her biggest strengths—her confidence and ability to push things forward—and her biggest weaknesses—her impulsivity and self-righteousness.

Kaito: Very much pulling from the straight-laced, rule-obsessed, class president type, but with several little subversions to the archetype that might be surprising. The only person he really holds to high standards is himself, with his core internal conflict being based around him feeling like he has a naturally self-indulgent nature while simultaneously being driven by a need to earn the right to actually indulge in the things he likes. Overthinks due to anxiety. Amongst the nerds, he's secretly considered kind of terrifying for how he's capable of going toe-to-toe with delinquents.

Maki: While he is capable of Crimes, Maki is arguably a delinquent in name only lol. In my mind, he's very Shonen Protagonist-adjacent, i.e., he has a bright sort of energy about him that just makes people like him immediately regardless of anything else that's going on. He'd be the student that's always getting in trouble but is also the teacher's obvious favorite. He's surprisingly (and concerningly) good at holding back on his feelings—in general, the more he cares about something (or someone), the harder a time he has with speaking up about his wants, out of the fear that it might change things for the worse rather than maintaining them as they are.

@ the fan artist who's thinking of selling their fanart of the small-time creator: I wouldn't do it. Actually, i wouldn't sell a book of any fanart. You could get into legal trouble further down the line from doing that by big and small corporations, but I could be biased because if I were a tiny creator who isn't backed by any megacorporation, I wouldn't like it if someone made money off of my own work. I'd dislike it more if they made more money than me. And this is a personal tangent, but I'd like an answer from anyone if possible because I'm asking a genuine question, not trying to be snarky or mean in any way. Does anyone think some people in fandom claim undue ownership of other people's art (art being the source material). I can understand the perspective that it does take a whole lot of time and love to create fanfics or fanart, but at the end of the day, it is a derivative work, and to me it doesn't mean random people can profit from someone else's work just because they love it. But it seems like whenever companies or individual creators send cease and desists to fans for selling fanfics or fanarts, fandom makes it seem like they're being unreasonable. I know people irl who self-publish comics with limited resources, and it does hurt creators' feelings and wallets sometimes when they spend years of their lives creating characters and worlds, just to see someone else profit from it without even seeing a percentage. Is it possible that social media has made boundaries seem more blurry, so people think of indie things that aren't corporate-backed the same way as the MCU or a show? Is it a feeling of entitlement or selfishness or something similar? Because I don't get the anger some people get from being told they can't profit from fan works. At the end of the day, it doesn't belong to us, and none of us have the legal right to make money from it.

--

I do find some people's reactions pretty entitled. If their writing/art/etc. skills are actually good, they can file the serial numbers off and build their own IP that they can then monetize in multiple ways with no worries.

A good story of this type I remember was when some webcomic had a "team edward" joke where the character turns out to be wearing an Edward James Olmos shirt. Readers loved it, so the webcomic artist started selling it... only to get an email from EJO's people. After nearly having a heart attack, he read the e-mail, and what it actually said was "Eddie loves the shirt, but if you're monetizing his image, we need a cut and a contract."

Obviously, that won't work for every instance of fan artist wanting to sell fan art of something, but given how much easier it is to contact indie people, maybe in some cases, one could work out a profit split?

It sometimes seems like the people who "have" to monetize fanworks and who are really entitled about it are actually saying that they don't believe their skills are good enough to sell without a crutch and/or that they refuse to fill in the gaps that make people care about a new character/story. I don't have much sympathy for this kind of thing.

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask

💖 What made you start writing?

I was writing since I was little. I literally found a book a month or so ago of a story from before I could even properly write for myself. I had drawn the pictures and then told my mother and grandmother what to write. It was a hilarious read honestly. I still wonder what happened to that prince and princess and if their parents ever did let be together.

But I didn't seriously start writing or I guess it's more like I didn't consistently start writing until like...2020? Like I had story ideas in the past I tried to write out, only to give before I barely begun. There was actually a period of time where I wrote a sequel idea to Rise of the Guardians and actually thought I could send it to Dreamworks and have them see it (and possibly produce it). Guess you could say that was my first fanfiction xD (before I even knew what fanfiction was). Like all I remember is that it focused on Pitch Black's daughter and she was found by the guardians and...That's all I remember. Her name was Twilight. Perhaps I could draw her at some point because I remember what I wanted her to look like. Gosh I'm rambling.

Anyway 2020. I get the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Main character is a fanfiction writer who goes to school to make a career out of writing (funny how my life is becoming just that). After reading that book I was like "I want to write fanfiction." I didn't really know where to start. Arthur was my fav character and at the time and with my limit experience only have looked on Wattpad and some Fanfiction.net (specifically older fics) I felt the fandom did him dirty (yes I'm talking about the 2012 uwu must protect England). But I wasn't into any England ships. Then I thought of my OTP of the time: Ger//Ita. But I did not feel comfortable writing for Italy. Then I remembered hand-holding buddies were a thing. Erroneous Epilogue had just been made a few months ago so GerEng was still fresh in my mind. Even before shipping GerEng I held the headcanon that Lud and Art got together for a football match in memory of the 1914 Christmas Truce. I was like: "I can use that headcanon and make a GerEng fic." Because GerEng had very few fics to it's name especially on Wattpad which is the site I started on. Eventually, when everything shut down and I found I had a lot of time on my hands I began writing everyday and I soon fell in love with these two dorks and they became my new OTP.

Honestly I'm getting a little emotional writing this because, like I've shared in a previous ask, I just got into the creative writing stream for uni and writing is thus becoming more serious. It's just...hard to believe how much writing has been involved in my life and how I didn't start taking it so seriously until I began writing fanfiction. If it wasn't for Fangirl, if it wasn't for GerEng, who knows if I would be where I am now.

And I'm also emotional because when I started out writing, I of course hoped to gain some traction, but I never imagined I would get to where I am now. I never thought I'd find such lovely online friends. I never thought I'd write something people would come back to reread when they felt down. I never thought I'd get so many followers who are all wonderful and who binge my writing and find comfort in it. And I definitely never thought I would actually get fanart for the fics I write. It's amazing to see how far I've come and I can't wait to see where I go from here.

Sorry... That last bit wasn't really part of the question but I had to get it off my chest. Thank you, everyone. For supporting me and for your lovely comments.

[eileen-crys]

Ok I know this post is long and going to trigger some people, I hate dramas as almost everyone in this fandom but I'm honestly exhausted of finding a**holes around and I can't keep pretending nothing happens. I'm a polite person and I don't like to make names and point my finger at people, so let's keep this a general discourse.

So this happened between yesterday evening and this morning, I've posted this photo on my instagram stories this morning.

As I've already mentioned before, there's a bunch of people who hate Veronica Deacon (mind: this is not a simple "dislike her" for personal reasons/vibes, here's literally a movement of hate and canceling) and are adamant in spreading their hate towards her, intoxicating posts where she's mentioned or John's family role is mentioned, canceling her whenever there's a confirmed pic of her ("that's not her! That's *imaginary person never heard about*") mocking people for even liking her, let alone who enjoy John and Veronica together (I've been personally harassed on Facebook by some of these people) behaving very childishly despite their older age (also using the "I'm old so I know better" card to prove their points) and believing in absurd made-up "theories" on Wattpad that twist interviews, real facts and actually try to warp reality mostly with the function of "making Deac*ry real in real life". (Censoring the ships name just to not disturb sane shippers as I had already said once) For them every reliable source, included words by the direct interested, are lies to cover up these relationships. They use songs to "prove facts" when nothing is confirmed, pretending to be woke or smth I don't know really. Some time ago some idiot even told around that Veronica isn't the mother of John's kids, she used to abuse him and other stuff coming out of nowhere, but honestly that's an old discourse that thank the gods has been closed (because honestly even the dumbest people could sniff that it was all made up). ((They also hate Jim Hutton because of the same reasons, if you were asking.)) ((I feel so bad for responsible shippers that have these idiots on their boat, guys get rid of em plss))

This leads me back to this fanfic I found and that line that has been added in a petty way after deleting that comment.

You know I'm the last person who would say "stop writing fanfics about real people", we're a fandom that deals with real people and real or fanmade relationships, that's not remotely the issue here. It's not even the plot that as much basic it is it's quite common and I've read every kind of version of it with basically any ship in this fandom (tho Veronica is the most common one to fall in this trope, followed maybe by Chrissie) and that's kinda okay, I'm not here to judge anyone for that, write what u want, there are lots of well written fics with the same plot.

The issue here is the existence of that statement, "Veronica is a real cold hearted manipulative person". It implies that the author actually believes what they wrote is real. And what they wrote is a Veronica that's and absolute bastard with no reason to be it, she's just evil because yes, gets pregnant on purpose to stay with John, sends him away from Fred and enjoys seeing John being absolutely crushed after he had to leave fred like idk some kind of Scar who enjoys watching Simba running away after Mufasa's death. Because she's evil ok? That should be even ok (not really but you got the point???) if the author wrote that just as a dramatic angsty story with a boring villain, but the addition of that line is the issue here, the author feels like that woman is seriously like that. I honestly struggle to believe anyone could be so serious about this but yes there are people who are and try to spread their hate like this, towards a person they don't even know and has done nothing against them to "deserve" to be hated.

When I posted that pic in my stories today I had numerous people writing me that they couldn't believe someone would seriously hate Veronica to the point of doing this, that's why I'm making this post. There are lots of ppl who have no idea of this issue of the fandom that's more serious than it seems, it has to be put under the sunlight.

You don't have to love Queen's real relationships if you prefer fanmade ones, but please at least respect them. Respect Queen's wives and husband, they are real people. Respect Queen's real lives even if they made questionable things and mistakes. You can't fix them anyway and you're not entitled to change what happened in the past. Please be aware of the sources you get informations from, use reliable sources and believe them, keep songs as they are: poetry, be aware that what you find/create in fanfictions (and some fanarts) is not real. Respect creators that draw/write ships that aren't your faves.

And please ignore these idiots who claim to ""know the truth"" about Queen's private lives. They feel empowered by their age and by the doubts and misteries around some aspects of Queen's lives and they won't change their minds if you present them facts. Shut them off with an "ok" and ignore them. Thanks for reading until now, I hope this has been somehow helpful.

Hey, I'm doing good too. Just normal amounts of stressful stuff right now. Just moved to a country I've never been to before but can't complain, things are not as hard as the last time I did this so. Thanks for asking! Yeah, I saw you posting about some pretty scary health issues before, I'm glad you came out of that alive and hope you're healthier now!

The nerve some people have! Haha I know I would be pissed if people were questioning my intelligence like that especially after a couple of drinks in haha. Though I do like taunting people when I play group games, I'll be like "don't need to try that hard guys, you're gonna lose anyway" just to mess with them or just call people sore losers if they accuse me of cheating haha (they're probably right on the accusations tho). People get real mad sometimes it's kinda funny. 😂

Omg literally laughed out loud reading this! Hahaha, how did you manage to fall over a road sign then end up in a ditch? lol omg hope you didn't get hurt too bad 😂 I was trying to downplay my drunken escapades but since you shared yours I should tell you my worst one:

I was at this summer street party at night and got drunk on something made out of tropical herbs and cachaça (which is about 48% alcohol), drank 3 and a half bottles of that like it was apple juice, made friends with a bunch of strangers in a bathroom queue (who tried to talk to me weeks later but I had no idea who they were), had to be held by my best friend while I peed (mostly missing the toilet), fell in the middle of the street and scraped my knee, threatened this boy who was helping me walk and told him not to try anything funny or I would beat him up, then dragged my friends to the beach and left them shortly after to go make out with my ex, came back with lipstick all over my mouth and chin and when my friends asked what I was doing I said I was just talking to my ex and they were like NO YOU WERE NOT, hahaha then I kissed all my girl friends on a dare and we danced under the full moon, then I told my best friend I had to puke so she took me to the ocean but I changed my mind and happened to step on a dead turtle on the way back and started crying bc of it, but last month my best friend told me it was a rock I had stepped on (I believed it was a dead turtle for 7 years!). Had the worst hangover of my life the next day. ✌️✨

Ah I'm happy you liked it! I've never listened to Six musical before but it sounds fun! I can see why you like it haha made me want to dance around my apartment 💃. And hey if liking musicals is your thing then it's great, I'm sure Hozier will understand if he's not your top artist of the year. 😋 Here's my "damie" Pinterest board if you or anyone else wants to check it out, totally recommend making one if you're a visual person like me!

https://pin.it/UcHVlkq

Oh I could talk about Dani and Jamie forever I think. I love the beast in the jungle speech too and it's so painful to watch, VP delivered that beautifully, but I have to admit I'm always a crying mess from episode 1 when older Jamie starts reciting that song about being sad while waiting for her lover to return, this show is fucking cruel I hate it and love it at the same time hahaha. Omg your mom 😂 but I mean it's truly an honor to be compared to someone like Dani, no? She's really great even if she needs a little help haha (don't we all).

Aaah you're amazing! Thank you so much, I'll read this pirate AU soon!

I used to draw a lot, really loved doing it when I was a kid as I said before, and all throughout adulthood too but I haven't done that in almost a year now bc I've got a bit of a case of burnout I guess, it just takes a lot of effort to do it when it shouldn't be like that at all. I used to do fanart too, for other fandoms. Even made one for Dani x Jamie but ended up not liking how it turned out haha. I've got a lot of respect for writers and fanfic writers also! Yall can make words make sense in really interesting and beautiful ways, build worlds so enthralling I can see them vividly in my head. Writing is such an incredibly fascinating skill to have! And I guess the most important thing is that we enjoy doing these things right? Even if we think we're not particularly good at it.

Anyway, have a lovely weekend! 👋✨

Good I'm glad you're doing great but sorry you're dealing with stressful stuff!! Hope living in a new country goes well for you I'm so jealous that you've lived in different countries I'd love to live somewhere else even if just for s few years!! Awwh thank you so much I definitely came out of it alive and am feeling so much better now thank you I mean I do some pretty ditzy things so when people say it to me it's pretty deserved sometimes, I'm secretly smart and people just don't expect it so I never mind too much haha I might have to start saying the things that you do and just taunting them over it I mean, I usually do win even when they make me answer different questions so I will definitely have to start saying things like that to them Haha I love that you're just like "yeah they're probably right in their accusations" I agree seeing how mad some people get over games and stuff is funny (it's me I'm people I hate loosing games depending on what it is and I am very competitive) So it was very dark and all we had for light was my roommates flashlight on her phone but while we were walking home a friend of ours that lived else where kept texting her to make sure we were still safe (my phone as dead at this point) so while she was texting him her flashlight was facing down and someone had moved this road sign to the footpath and it was on that sits on the floor so while I couldn't see it I walked into it and fell over it but while I feel I grabbed hold of it and flipped with it and fell in a ditch with it on top of me... I was fine and was just laid laughing while my friend looked down at me and in the most northern accent ever just said "get up you dickhead." and helped me off of the floor and then asked if I was okay... and I was so it was all good!! Haha 😂 I love this drunken story that sounds like one hell of a night and is a roller coaster from start to finish!! I'm sorry you thought you had stood on a dead turtle for 7 years though, someone really should've told you that it was just a rock!! But that sounds like my kind of night!! I love nights like that... stories that will last a life time... the only down side is the hangover... luckily I have only ever had one hang over in my life and it wasn't the morning after the road sign fiasco... I felt surprisingly good the morning after that haha 😂 It's such a good musical it's about Henry VIII wives and I just love everything to do with his wives and that musical is so much fun and actually gives a little insight to the lives the six Tudor queens had away from Henry and with him because at school we're mainly just taught about him which sucks!! I loved the Hozier song and am definitely gonna have to listen to more of his stuff!! I love musicals so much I mainly listen to musical soundtracks at the minute- usually, Legally Blonde and Six on repeat haha 😂 Ooo thank you I will definitely check out this Pinterest board thanks for sending it to me!! I could talk about them forever too... since watching Bly Manor my niece has been asking me so many questions about it and I am more than happy to talk to her about it haha!! The beast in the jungle speech just breaks my heart every time I relate to it so much and VP just delivers it so beautifully!! Oh yeah now I know at the beginning that it's older Jamie I am just a wreck the whole show is just so beautiful and heart breaking at the same time I LOVE IT!! Even though it makes me sob- I keep putting myself through it!! I mean, yeah I was happy that she said it Dani is great but it was the way she said it... my mum can be something else sometimes... she said she thought Dani was like me the first time she does the accent when she says "I've fallen quite in love with London" because I just randomly do accents a lot too but it was the way she was like "She needs help... but I like her she reminds me of you" I was just like... "Should I go get help?" I still don't know the answer to my question about if I need help or not but I mean I probably do need it You're welcome I really hope you like it!! It's a

great fic I love it!! Yeah I get that if stuff starts taking too much effort and burns you out you're not gonna wanna keep doing it so it's understandable that you stopped!! I think fan art is great and I really would love to be able to do it myself but I just don't have the skill it takes!! Awwh it's a shame you didn't like the Dani x Jamie one you did I would've loved to have seen it!! Honestly there are so many talented writers out there and when I read their fics I am just in awe of the worlds they have built and the stories they have created we are so blessed in this fandom to have so many amazing writers and so many amazing fics out there Oh yeah definitely its important to enjoy what you do!! I know I love writing and love writing fics for Dani and Jamie so I think I'll be doing it for a while even if I'm not great at it haha Awwh thank you very much I hope you have a great weekend too!! ☺️

[spirit-of-vengeance]

7th ROTG anniversary. Time to get emotional.

I never written this down, but now I feel the need due to the intense nostalgia and the notice of how quickly time is fleeing. I have a tale to tell, I need to share my story about how this film changed my life. Warning: it's long.

Brief into: I believed in the Santa, Easter Bunny (I really wanted in the Toothfairy too and unfortunately never heard about Jack or Sandy) even when I was 10. (Which was considered pretty old to believe) I even got into an argument with my teacher in the 3rd grade because she said 'stop being childish, they aren't real' because I was excitedly whispering with my classmate about catching the Santa this year. A boy, who ironically looked exactly like Jack Frost began endlessly teasing me and calling me stupid for still thinking he's real. On the way back home with mom I confronted her about this, not giving up until she told me whenever he was right or not. Backed into a corner, she was forced to give up. I cried every day for weeks. The magic was ripped away from me.

Year 2012, December. I'm 11 and a victim of hardcore bullying since my whole life. Students, teachers and sometimes parents. To cheer me up, mom took me to the shopping center to watch a movie. We couldn't really decide & she saw a giant poster of North smiling at people. Her eyes lit up and excitedly said 'Let's watch that! ' I followed the direction of her finger and my face scrunched in malice "I am not watching a movie with the Santa. Its stupid. I'm a big girl, I want to watch a bloody action movie! " but she was unbending. She could bribe me into it with a large bowl of popcorn; I was still grumbling when the lights went out.

The change: first snowflakes, first notes of the piano worked like magic. I immediately shut up and wondered what actually happens here. Why is it so soothing? At the first few shots of the North Pole when North is working on the ice train, I jumped in my seat and I shit you not, I thought the Santa is actually getting murdered. My eyebrow rose higher when I realized that guy with the chainsaw and swords is the Santa. Unfortunately, I can't remember more first reactions; stress, depression, traumas really ruined my long term memory. It seems silly now, but I kept the last piece of popcorn what I was munching on during it, I still have it in a little jewel box; one of my sacred memories. The car ride back to home was quiet, I was staring out of the window my mind stirring with creativity.

Aftermath: 2013-2018; while my classmates were busy getting drunk, being a petty bitch, giving oral in the toilet, (yes. I am talking about elementary school.), getting laid, I was lost in a world of wonder. I learnt 60% of my English knowledge in 3 months with reading fanfiction. I browsed deviantart for hours and laughed my ass off at the hilarious, extremely well done fanarts.

I grew up on mostly Blackice videos I wasn't 100% aware what I'm actually seeing tho, I was exposed to gay ships from a young age and plot twist, nothing serious happened😀. My mental health wasn't shit because I saw the Bogeyman and the Winter spirit kiss.

I began talking to the Moon. I cried my pain to him. Sitting on my windowstill, debating whenever I should jump or not. My extraordinarily strong bond with my mom and this film were my only lifeline. I was making it through, in my own world. My imagination created wonderful sights, scenarios; at nights I was certain I can spot Sandy on his cloud, at Christmas North trying to push himself out of the chimney cussing, at Easter that enormous bunny running around, at winters mostly yelling at Jack 'get out of my country' because I'm a summer person, going to school on a chilly yet sunny autumn day and see Pitch standing on the edge of the misty forest.

I began to change, respond to the pressure from my bullies. My personality began to morph. See the wonder in everything; like North. There's hope and spite, don't dare to give up; like Bunny. Awaken and enjoy creativity; like Sandy. Shit on the rules and have a damn good time no matter what; like Jack. Cherish memories and friends; like Tooth. Be ruthless and stand up from the most brutal blows; like Pitch. And never forget, the Moon will always be there even when he's an antisocial dick and says nothing.

My aim, my dream was to write the sequel. When I was done I wanted to send it to William Joyce. I wrote 200+ pages, but unfortunately in Hungarian. I still don't know why I stopped, why I abandoned that plan.

I was looking for ROTG posters because I wanted to email them to my friend to show what I've been obsessed with. I was just lazily staring at a Pitch poster, realizing his V neck actually never closes - then my eyes crossed the date: November 21. I let out an ungodly shriek of disbelief and mirth. Mom rushed into the living room with terror and met with the sight of me screaming in ecstasy "RISE OF THE GUARDIANS CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!! "

Around 2016 I became really interested in this roleplay stuff and oh god I was terrible. Cindy Flame then was an always angry Mary sue but after years of practice, expanding she is a completely built, extremely complex character, flawed, strong, tragic and ruthless; divine yet oh so human. So I was making friends online, most of them failed, I think one of them committed suicide but that belongs to an another story.

I have been lurking Tumblr for 3 years? More? Because I had no idea how this site worked and I was shy because I thought my writing is not good enough I realize now I felt right. I admired blogs from afar, read their writing and falling deeper and deeper into this fandom.

Nearing present day: I actually came to Tumblr to pursue a friend of mine. I was borderline desperate because I've thought they are one of the last one in the fandom and it scared me. The fun thing is, I actually never interacted with them after making this blog. So I break this two year old spell and hi @kingofnxghtmares it's me, Jasmine😊 You don't have to answer/interact/or anything, I wanted to get everything off my chest and finally tagging you just felt right.

So now I'm on Tumblr. And I love every second it. I've found amazing friends, insanely dynamic muses, crack threads, angst, the chance to expand my muse even more and where I belong. So there I am, wondering where 7 years went. I've grown up (somewhat), and I'm glad I was protected from the 'disaster teenage years ', drinking, heartbreak, drugs, etc instead I grew up in a magical world interviewed with reality so closely; it became an escape place when reality became too heavy.

About ROTG & finale: masterpiece. The animation is insanely lifelike yet fantasy. Every tiny, microscopic detail is perfect, the characters, the storyline, the atmosphere original and capturing. The music is gut wrenching. Everything is absolutely, 200% on point. I don't think there ever will be an animated movie which can be better than Rise of the Guardians animation and/or storywise. No 'love is the answer ' movies can ever come close this iconic masterpiece no matter how they rip it off looking at Frozen 2😒

I watched it today (I have it in Spanish as well and I only can encourage everyone to watch it, the Spanish voice acting is, 100% in my opinion Pitch's bested Jude Law, damn that rich hiss of malice was incredible ) on my 18th birthday while cuddling with mom, laughing and heavy with nostalgia. I think I will remain in this fandom for a very long time, I don't think I would ever be able to let it go due to my deep emotional ties. I would like to thank everyone who were present in making this film, the artists who still keep this fandom alive, all of my friends, roleplay partners; thank you for brightening my childhood, giving me purpose and a place to belong.

To my all of my friends:

Hey AKIMI let me just REMIND YOU that Tobirama was Kagami's teacher and it is DISGUSTING that you ship them! And kakanaru! And kakahina! And kakasaku! AND ANY TEACHER/STUDENT SHIP YOU MAY HAVE!! Listen, filth, adults should not go around DATING CHILDREN!! Get this through your thick skull you idiot! You dumbass!! I can't believe I was ever considered friends with you. Publish this, I'll be watching. You can argue with me, you can call me out, but you can't delete this! Publish this. Publish it.

Hi Starry! I am assuming it’s you since you’re the only one I know who’s bitter enough to do this. And on anon? I’m kind of surprised! If you’re so passionate about this, you shouldn’t be on anon. You should come right out and let people know who you are! Come on, don’t be ashamed. Not sure I want to give you the satisfaction of having your username posted on here so you can have some glory. Maybe I’ll just keep you anonymous. *Dirty Little Secret plays in the bg*  

I’m glad you’re still stalking my blog! It’s funny you’re assuming my ships since you’re wrong on most of them. I don’t know where you got the idea of who I shipped, but I’m glad that you don’t even bother to read my tags! If you notice, most ships I reblog are tagged with “nms” which means “not my ship”. It’s this super cool invention called an “initialism”. And by power of deduction and critical thinking, that means I don’t ship those particular characters. I use that tag for 99% of the ships I reblog. I reblog the post because I like the art style and want to support the artist, especially with the new “best stuff first” policy. Yikes! Tumblr had a boo-boo with that update. 

I’m just getting to the Itachi Pursuit Arc, so I don’t know much about Tobirama or Kagami. I didn’t know they were teacher and student, and that’s surprising to me since I DO know Tobirama hates the Uchiha. And I don’t ship Kaka//Naru, it’s one of my no-go ships. And Kaka//Saku? My least favorite. All my mutuals (almost all lol) ship it, though, and I respect them and love them still. But KakaHina? Oh yes, that is my ship. My lovely, lovely ship. I was actually going to draw a special KakaHina picture just for you and tag you in it, but I didn’t want to be too petty. 

I don’t ship children and adults together. I don’t even really like student/teacher relationships in media. You want to know why? Because a lot of my teachers in school were abusers. A lot of them manipulated students. A lot of the ones I liked and trusted and had classes with used their underage students and harmed them. I hate how it’s portrayed in media as something “oh so wrong but oh so right” because it teaches kids and adults that it’s okay when it’s not. But here’s a thing: I ship 18+ year old Hinata with characters. Not 12 year old Hinata. Not 15 year old Hinata. 18 year old Hinata. That may seem weird to you but age gaps aren’t too big of a deal for me when someone’s over 18 because there are huge age gaps in my family. My parents are 10 years apart. My aunt is like 20 years younger than her husband. My brother is 23 years older than me. If people don’t jive with age gaps like that, then that’s fine. I don’t mind. My irl friends think it’s a little strange but they love and respect me (and are on the look out for a sugar daddy for me lmao). 

I agree, adults shouldn’t date children. It’s wrong and gross. That’s why I ship adult characters together. Isn’t it so cool that Hinata actually AGES in the show? She actually doesn’t STAY 12 years old?! Who knew she wasn’t the 6 year old vampire Claudia from The Vampire Chronicles all along! Thank God there’s such a thing as the passing of time. I know I wouldn’t want to be 12 forever. I hope you don’t either. 

I’m sorry you feel so hateful and felt the need to stalk me after you blocked me on Tumblr. I’m sorry you feel the need to send me an anon message calling me filth and a dumbass (actually that’s the first time that’s happened lol, I feel like I accomplished something!). But I put up with your ships even when I didn’t like them or agree with them. I put up with your fanfictions and fanart of characters I don’t see together. I was kind about it, I was encouraging, I was gentle, I was compassionate, and I kept my mouth shut. I’m sorry that you felt the need to abandon ship (no pun intended) when you discovered my ship. (Which, by the way, since I know you saw my header since you’re stalking me, you’ll see the screen cap is from when they’re planning Naruto’s wedding. Naruto gets married at 19. That means Hinata is 19 in that photo. A lot of my friends and FAMILY got married at 19. One of my friends got married at 19 to a 26 year old.) 

Also since you’re stalking me, that TobiKaga pic was posted 3 days ago. That either means you waited 3 days to concoct this beautiful hate message, trying to find the perfect words (great use of “idiot” and repetition of “publish this”) OR you stalked my blog back in 3 days worth of queued posts just to find something to be angry about. I don’t know what’s funnier. 

If you’d sent this 2 days ago, I probably would’ve been really upset. I would’ve wanted to delete my blog and go into hiding for a thousand years. But I’m feeling good and you’ve inspired me. I think I am finally going to go through with all the KakaHina content I’ve been waiting to make. Thanks! I appreciate the supportive shove. 

Though I do have to admit, you did get one thing right. I do have a thick skull. I can be so dense and scatterbrained sometimes. My theater teacher told me, “You’d lose your head if it wasn’t screwed on.” It’s true. But right now it looks like you’ve lost your head. Hopefully you can find it soon, along with that great dollop of kindness and maturity you kept telling me you had. 

And I “can’t delete this” message? Uhhh… yeah I can. It’s called the “delete button.” It looks like this

At least it does in Japanese. 

Hey! While I’m at it, let me tell you about my other ships!! So in RWBY I ship 18 year old Blake Belladonna with her best friend’s uncle, Qrow Branwen; her best friend’s DAD, Taiyang Xiao Long; her mortal enemy, Roman Torchwick; and her headmaster, Ozpin who is literally thousands of years old! I also think Hinata would be so cute with any of the other jounin in NARUTO! Genma? Raidou? Hayate? Why not! Heck, why not ship her with Jiraiya or Yamato. I could even do a time travel fic where she ends up with one of the Uchiha or Senju. I love AUs! 

“I can’t believe I was ever considered friends with you”. LMAO. I love that you think that 1) this is an insult, and 2) this is the first time I’ve heard that. 😂😂😂 As if these past 4 years have been anything other than people leaving me. But honestly? BIG MOOD. Same gurl, same. And I’m glad you’ve kept your sense of humor through this traumatic event. God bless the comedians. But I’M STILL LAUGHING THAT YOU THINK I SHIP KAKA//NARU OR KAKA//SAKU. LMAAAOOOOO. NO HATE TO THOSE WHO DO BUT I’M SO CONFUSED BECAUSE ?? WHERE. ON. MY. BLOG. DID. YOU. SEE. THAT??? Kaka//Saku is a blocked tag of mine. The ONE (1) thing I have on my blog flagged as K//S is a Kakashi fanart where the OP mentioned K//S in their caption. I have a gut ache from laughing. 

Gosh, your message is great. I love it. I’m thinking about making it a screenshot and setting it as my new header. I’m gonna put heart filters and sparkles on it. Maybe a face of an angry dog on it too for good measure. Priceless. Thank you for this gem. I was gonna go to bed on a sour note after some trouble figuring out work stuff, but this really boosted my mood. 

You always know what to say to make me feel better aww ;) 

Well sweet dreams! I hope you read all of this! It was so much fun to write it. I’d hate for you to miss any part of it. (Don’t be that guy who starts an argument and then never reads the person’s response because they “don’t care”. That’s just rude. Bad manners. Kind of like going into people’s inboxes and sending hate. Tsk tsk, who would ever do that? Oh … wait …) 

Also I found a song for you! 

xoxox 💖💖💖💖 Thanks for the message, nonny! Means so much you’re thinking about me!

OMG I JUST REALIZED. My tag for you was “splendid”. In Japanese, “splendid” is 立派 (rippa). I guess you RIPPA’d me a new one with this message!! Hahahaha.
