#just wanted to give some clarification as to why you'll see some asks suggesting absolutely crazy characters from time to time

oh, for new followers who are unaware of this ridiculous character game!!!

i’m always open to asks suggesting obscure, silly, interesting fictional characters to fall in love with, especially if they’re anecdotally my type. that ranges from cartoonishly evil villains (especially doctors and scientists) with distinctive voices, to snarky fat guys who everyone hates;;;; there’s no way to quantify it, but people who’ve known me long enough will just look at a character and go. ah yes. they’ll occupy Star’s mind for a month or two 🙈💖 here’s a bingo card for a beloved character (King Candy) that gives a good overview - i think everyone should make one for themselves, based on their unique taste 😉

this started as a joke between pals, and then expanded because a few people accidentally triggered honest-to-God hyperfixations in me. i believe the catalyst was an anon known only as The Comfortable Doug Prophet, who jokingly suggested Comfortable Doug from Centaurworld as being ‘my kind of man’. i fought this assignment furiously...only to fall in love a few months later 😭😭

other successful assignments have recently included Gargamel, MODOK, and Larry Laffer...and shout-out to the twenty or so people who ran to me screaming, ‘oh you will be down SO BAD for ‘Big’ Jack Horner!’...who were horribly correct 😖 as a rule of thumb - the more humiliating the character is to enjoy (e.g., Augustus St. Cloud, Austin Powers, etc.), the worse the fixation will be 😂 i am nothing if not a connoisseur of embarrassing men!!

i highly recommend playing this game with your pals - it’s very fun, you get the chance to embarrass your friends, and potentially cause a whole wave of good feelings for them or yourself 🥰

Hello! I'm contacting you as one of the mods in PokeMagma events. We have noted your amazing contribution to the session, it's really well drawn! ^^ But unfortunately we are concerned about whether the image is suitable for the session-- Like you know everyone is welcome to the session as long as they follow the rules. One of our rules is "keep it PG." We have noted that it's a very vague rule and we actually forgot to add some clarification to it. So we have now added: "Any questionable ship content is off limits, either directly or suggested." This is not your fault! We should've been more clear about it before.

Our problem is that you're giving exposure to your au's that have blankshipping content. Imagine a situation if someone who's not comfortable with blankshipping will find that content via your twitter/tumblr handle and checks the au's that you drew in the session. Everyone trusts that no-one draws blankshipping content on the session so that would come as a surprise to them.

You're still verry much welcomed to the next events if you still want to join us! ^^ I hope that you'll understand our reasoning why we'll remove that drawing from the final edit. Feel free to contact/reply me or @/pokemagma anytime if you want to say or ask anything about the matter! Thank you for joining us!

it is near midnight my time and i am tired and pissed off, so i'm sorry if i'm coming off as harsh

for folks who haven't seen it, this was my piece for the magma. it took me 11 hours to complete, and i was really proud of it. the piece itself is not shippy, it is PG. this piece did not break the magma rules that you published online.

some of my aus have been written for ship, some have been written for gen, some i've written both, some i haven't written at all yet. this is going to come as an absolute mindfuck for some folk here, but i am allowed to draw my aus in whatever way i want. for this piece i drew them as not shippy, out of respect for folk who don't enjoy that content. removing it from the magma edit because i've written ship for it in the past is shit.

and honestly the reasoning of "what if they look you up?" to be fucking bullshit. so what if folk look me up and find content they don't like? fam i trust them to go "oh! this content isn't for me!" and close the fucking browser window like the fucking adults they are. my shit is tagged on my art blog, my ao3 and my twitter - i trust that folk are knowledgeable enough to know how filters work and how to avoid content they don't want to see.

you tell me that i'm welcome to return - how am i welcome to return when you remove something i worked hard on and the reasoning is "you broke rules we didn't tell you about and we can't risk folk looking up your content"? i get that the filthy blankshippers aren't meant to have feelings but friend cmon. if you spent eleven hours on something only for a moderator to remove it because they "forgot to clarify" a rule and they don't want people looking you up, you'd be real upset too.

in addition to this, while i was drawing i was approached by one of your mods. after confirming I wasn't drawing ship art, they proceeded to tell me how many complaints they received because i was there and had been drawing on the last magma

to be clear, my first magma was in june. last month. the shiny pokemon magma. folk were complaining to you about me when i wasn't even drawing submas.

i don't think this is about the art, honestly. i think you just got tired of folk complaining about me and wanted me out
