Do you don’t mind if people steal your art? Because I have been seeing a lot recently, or do they need too give credit? By the way I love your art style I am just seeing it everywhere

i get a lot of asks about this and its not that i don’t mind (why i don’t respond very often) but that atm i don’t have the energy to fight this.

speaking from experience these things cost energy to track down and resolve, not to speak of how it’s upsetting to really contemplate the actions of the reposter.

im already upset about a lot of things constantly.

i want My work to do well and i suppose as long as my original stuff is getting plenty of attention I am fed. i have internal rules I follow for handling this. if the account is small i don’t bother. if they credited me via a direct at I don’t bother.

ideally people would credit me and i have also told people too in the past if they ask.

#ppl should know that im exhausted from work #im unhappy in this fandom space #a lot of my energy is focused on twtter and trying to get my stuff to do well again over there #and it does sap a chunk of my energy to witness stuff i wanna see explode repeatedly not #and have to be okay with it #its very easy for my as an artist to lose my sense of grounded-ness #i suppose i say all this bc if i sat down and began thinking #the fandom space shat on me has repeatedly attempted to push me out #and now ppl are stealing my work without giving me credit whilst they dance and praise similar artists #im gonna be fking mad im gonna be furious #but i also again work longer than a 9-5 most days #and i still need time to draw #i dont wanna stew in shtty emotions for longer than necessary or ideally at all #i know a lot of ppl care on my behalf #and i am sure its frustrating to see me not care as much #but i care about other things #if u really wanna support me then shut down the conversations that disparage me #then support my progress videos #the fight for me is not happening with the reposters
