forgive me pls for importing even the barest shadow of twitter art discourse but i genuinely kinda love the ‘fanart is the lazy way to build a following! you’re taking the easy way out!!’ takes.

like first of all: hell yeah i sure hope it does. and second of all we both know if it was actually easy you would have created fanart instead of this tweet

#like without fail the thing that pisses me off the most about every variation of ‘you’re not a true artist if…’ twitter discourse #is the assumption that i care about being considered a Real Artist #and then it’s the sheer presumptuousness of thinking i will defend myself to you‚ some random guy‚#really my biggest weakness is how fighty i get whenever someone tries to take potshots at my ego #frankly if anything i’m offended that you think i have one #but also wow what an asshole. if i was someone else that could have really hurt my feelings. and that would have been so mean #i simply cannot allow that kind of hypothetical cruelty to go unchallenged #mumbling
