I HAVE TO ADMIT SOMETHING...

I fucking HATE genderbends of characters. Half, if not most, of the time the female gender bend is just a lady with big tits and an ass. IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL, IM NOT KIDDING. THEY GET RID OF THE CHARACTERS FEATURES AND IM SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT?? NO!! NO. NO. I WILL NOT BE OKAY. WHY DO THEY JUST MAKE THE GENDERBEND SO CURVY AND SLIM. THEY MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THE BORING BEAUTY STANDARD OF TODAY, AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN TELL IT IS THE CHARACTER IS BECAUSE THEY EITHER SAY ITS THE CHARACTER OR KEEP ONE OF THE CHARACTERS DISTINCT FEATURES.

I can't take it anymore. PLEASE BE CREATIVE. KEEP THE CHARACTERS FACIAL FEATURES OR PERSONALITY IN THE CHARACTER. YOU CAN CHANGE THE OUTFIT, I DONT CARE. JUST STOP EXAGGERATING THE GENDERBENDS BODY OR IM GOING TO LOSE IT AND BLOW MYSELF UP... and If you do, HAVE A REASON. MAYBE THE GENDERBEND WEARS CORSETS OR SOMETHING I DONT CARE BUT STOPPPPP MSKING THE GENDERBEND SOME ATTRACTIVE BASIC LOOKING DUDE OR GIRL. HORROR SANS WOULD NOT BE ALL SKINNY WJTH HUGE TITS AND ASS THAT CAN PROPEL IN THE AIR WHEN U SLAP IT. Please...

Thank you... tahnk youuuu 😞

Remember to avoid fast fashion! Wear the clothes you like, style them in different ways, and make your own fashion choices! We don't need websites and companies like Shein that profit off of the abuse of workers. Thrift and shop locally if you need. Learning how to sew is a rewarding hobby and will allow you to make your own unique accessories as well!

So in real life, we have the S.W.A.T. team, but in Sugar Rush, there's a C.L.A.W. team.

In real life, the actual acronym stands for Special Weapons and Tactics, but I don't think we ever got a full name for this version.

So to the Wreck-it-Ralph fandom, what are your ideas for a potential full name for these forces?

Got any good candy based ones?

Random Writing Tip #1 (that you didn't ask for)

Something that helped me a lot to understand how to write/describe what happens in a scene. Maybe it will help someone.

"Describe the scene as if you were telling the story to your Mom"

What do I mean by this?

We've all been in that situation where we want to tell our mom or significant other something. And most likely that person/mom doesn't know anything about what you're talking about.

What do we normally do in this situation? We explain every important detail so that the person/mom understands the situation.

If they still have questions after you've told them everything? Well, you haven't given enough details for them to get that image in their head.

Something that helps me is to question what I write.

Example: ------

The hero threw the knife!

Ok, where did that knife come from? With which hand did he throw it? Did he grab the tip or the handle of the knife? etc... ------

These are questions that will help you form a better image for the reader.

Well that's how I do it. I do this for fun so maybe you or someone else has a better way to do this. But if this helps someone, it's a win for me.

Trans webcomic artists! I love you but please stop using the same design for the gatekeeping therapist.

Why must the gatekeeping therapist be a balding older man with a mustache and glasses where you can't see his eyes?

Maybe use the design described for a therapist whose NOT a gatekeeper? Or maybe the gatekeeping therapist is an young adult blonde woman?

Just do something original! Be creative! Subvert expectations! Stop using the same gatekeeping therapist over and over again.

Warning Writers and Artist

If you see this or something similar in your messages or asking about if your art uses AI or if you use AI for your fics, do not engage them directly.

There is someone going around that is outright accusing people of using AI for works of theirs and asking to prove it. Either through showing their process with a video but the platform they used or the programs and are just being pushy about it. And while it can feel tempting to answer, it is just to get to harass artist and writers into complying about AI in any works. And from a cursory glance, they seem be going after popular blogs/ artists/ or specific ships that are being asked to be questioned. (I will not name which ships as that is not my business but I will tag in ones I am familiar with).

As for the person that asked me this, I will be candid and say this: Asking someone if they use AI in their works is not conductive to ones time. I only have a cursory understanding of AI vs Human in the arts debate as I know there is a lot of discussions about it and yes, it is scary times because of the scraping of fics and art. I considers myself an artist/ writer, so I am a strong believer in human touch as being necessary for any artistic front. But the subject of AI tools is not something I know all details about and cannot provide an answer I would be confident I can provide a suitable answer to this conversation. Also keep in mind - Microsoft and/ google docs use AI for editing purposes or suggestions unless you turn it off, so make of that what you will. (Or if you have a plug in with AI that give a suggestion of what to write in some websites so there is that too).

But if you are the person that I have heard that is going around and asking people for proof of creation - it causing more headaches than good and asking for "proof of it" is also potentially harmful for showing this unnecessary proof. Such as exposing someones computer background information or anything on their computer or names on files linking actual real life people.

There are ways to make sure that art is not scraped - such as artist finding programs to prevent their images from being used for AI searches to writers using sites like Ao3 that offer locking works from getting scrapped from AI that at as guests that are not registered to the system. It is not prefect, but it is a start. If that is what you are looking to accomplish, then promote the good ways to prevent AI from scraping works from content creator and or finding new methods to promote human artist/ writers in fandoms.

Asking me if I use AI is not one of them. And no, I will not be proving myself or showing off my works for anyone's amusement to rile up drama. If you want to ask about my genuine thought process or ideas for fics and concerns if I use AI, ask in the comments below. Let's talk publicly about this.

Otherwise, I see this as just someone trying get me to cause drama before more content comes out for a certain fandom. And I don't have the time nor patience for people looking to cause issues because you are bored.

Ship Bonnie Bennett with all the things and don’t let anyone ever try to take your fan card for it.  One of the amazing things about fandom is the ability to take someone you love, someone you are passionate about and just let her live in ways the show couldn’t be bothered to show.  You can explore so many facets and just have fun.  

[glasshouses-and-stones]

I feel like they could name teams after literally anything, and they just. Don't. It's always the same stuff.

[natsuki208]

Okay, seriously? There just naming the new seasons after the manga arcs now? Personally, I find that lazy.

At least do something similar to the ‘Book of’ series or just call them season 4/5 idk.

Sorry for ranting :(

[hornyitaliankitty]

Where would you take me on a date? And what would we do?

Pls, nothing sexual related

[cloned-eyes]

I can't, the Krampus Tech has me in a headlock and I refuse to get out of it!! 😳😳😳

With that said, is it okay if I write something around the artwork? I have something in my mind and I want to ask permission first before I do. 👉👈

*taps microphone* be free my child, do as you like. Let havoc rain down

Seriously do. I can attest to being in this tribe and our numbers are vast. You are creative. Everyone is. Cooking? Creative. Being able to see a pile of clothes and a closet and know how you are going to put them in there. Creative. Anyone who says they are not creative are lying to themselves or have been so beat down by being told they can’t or why do they think they can do that or you will never make a living at that. Maybe not at first, but you can practice and learn and get to the point people will pay you for your creativity.

I believe in you even if we never met. I believe in people and their abilities.

Try something creative and you might surprise yourself.
