Important: Regarding Demiurge / Overlord

Reddit hasn't gotten back to me as I type this, but it doesn't and won't sway my opinion either way.

After hearing everything that I could in regards to my fanart being used without my consent, I took a long hard look at it all and decided—no more.

Overlord fandom as a whole hasn't been great. The people I encountered I more brought them into this fandom from writing original content with him. And we're all tired and disappointed. The character we enjoy anyways isn't even in the source material that much. The author puts way too many pedo comments in the show for me to turn a blind eye to nowadays, and I'm... ugh. I can't stomach it anymore. lol

I wrote and drew Demiurge so much, he started to feel more like my own OC. I guess that's where I feel the most destroyed. I brought more life into this character and did so much content than I could imagine.

If I have to be told it's just easier to get hands on my fanart because 'there's not a lot of Demiurge fanart', then okay. Y'all lost another Demiurge fan artist. ♥

I was a bit upset and disappointed when one of the mods told me 'they could delete it but...' and I'm just... I dunno what to do there. As kind as the exchange was, it still frustrates me that something I made has to be made for a meme without credits.

Especially when we have fan works being sold all around the board either on Amazon, fucked up in AI art or in some crypo scheme.

I've had my Demiurge fanart sold on Amazon before. And it's just... I'm done. I'm out. I shouldn't have to put myself through this.

No more Demiurge fanart from me. And if it does show up down the line, it's going to be butchered.

I've told the discord server I'm apart of that better quality art of mine may end up there. Just so I know where it is and feel it's better controlled. It'll be in a private channel when I have the energy to wake up and make it.

As for writing going forward: I'll only do things regarding him, but I am not going to tag it under Overlord or put it under the Overlord masterlist. He's going under a different filing.

Also: NO MORE REQUESTS PERTAINING TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL.

There are some things I won't mind doing, but I won't mention Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown, other NPCs, or 'Creators' any longer. Demiurge just has to be put into more original situations. That way, I don't have to fight these sorts of things anymore.

I'll still be writing An Empty Heart Full of Memories, but I'm sad to say Tome of Ashurbanipal must be shut down indefinitely. I'll open another request form for more original ideas with the character.

I apologize whoever this hurts. I don't like making these posts, because it's always a difficult decision to make. I hate hurting the many because of the few. But I have to think of my mental and emotional health first and foremost.

Sorry for this. I just don't have the energy to make content and be told 'I don't have the right to ask for it to be taken down'.

That's my fault. I should have known humanity sucked and kids can't tell that 'an image on the internet isn't always free to use'.
