I went to hear a self-publishing panel and what I got is: I am illegally doing a lot of stuff and I will probably live in illegality my whole life
#I'm not surprised that I'm doing illegal things#I think the poin is being honest and *knowing* it is illegal#like selling and buying fanart#Do i think it's wrong law? yes#but DURA LEX SED LEX#I do want to sell doujinshi one day#so I fully embrace my illegal status#to be fair mi hanno insegnato la meraviglia verso la gente che ruba il pane#ora ho imparato che è un delitto il non rubare quando si ha fame#moss text

Mayor always looks so dashing in his suit, but I was wondering what his favorite type of lounge wear/comfy clothes are. Also, his thought on Crocs shoes.

Entered a local town museum's photography contest, didn't even get honorable mention. :/ really bummed. But, didn't expect much considering it's probably family voting for family. Ya know, small town nepotism at it's finest.
Here's what I entered, these are older photos from vacations but I always really liked each one for various reasons.
#moffy speaks#I even made multiple prints in case someone wanted to buy one#I entered another contest from said museum last year and also didn't win or place#and didn't sell any prints#but then again these people had no idea what photoshop was and thought I didn't make my art???? Maybe I was better off NOT entering#considering the absolute ignorance not to allow digital art until I explained what a drawing tablet was#old people being old and refusing to acknowledge modern art methods#nothign I entered was fanart either#all 100 percent orginal#I'm sorry I sound really mean and bitter but it just sucks#stiff like this is why I don't wanna keep creating somedays

Working on some sketches for a ref sheet of my John design ^^
+ close ups
#my sparkly fancy John design is funny to me bc he looks like a fucking goddess and then he opens his mouth like “OURTHER. We need to buy a#scarecrow. What the fuck do you mean they don’t sell them here. WELL ASK SOMEONE ABOUT IT!”#He looks like this while narrowly dodging the horrors with Arthur. He’s in the prison pits sparkling around and even though most of his#Horn jewelry gets scuffed or lost or tangled and his epic flowing locks are tangled and dull#he’s still. Just fancy sparkly john even in jail.#I love when tranjohnder#he’s so babygirl to me. He’s my pretty princess#malevolent#john malevolent#babygirl tag#john doe malevolent#malevolent fanart#malevolent design#My art#once again I am here to say that this is a transjohnder man

Random Thought
So, a while back I posted a pic of all the Pokemon dudes that I like despite knowing basically nothing about Pokemon, and it's become a very shocking fact to me that despite their apparent popularity, the train dudes do basically nothing in their home game.
#how do i know they do nothing if i don't play pokemon?#because i looked through a playilst of an old chugg/a/conroy LP and they weren't in a single thumbnail for that series#that dude covers EVERYTHING in a series. if they were important they would have been there#i guess side characters are capable of getting large fan bases for basically no reason#but i find it very odd regardless#is it a fun mode?#is there a different piece of media that led to their popularity?#because i have minimal interest in pokemon as a series outside of character/creature design#i don't mind looking up spoilers for it#so i know that ingo in particular got a boost after arceus for *Reasons*#and the inherent tragedy of that story was sure to increase the fans of both#but why the heck were they popular before that?#because them being on my personal list is because#i was bombarded with fanart about them for like 2 months so i was basically suckered into caring about them#anyway. i don't think i'm gonna go through the trouble of updating that graphic#but these are the new pokedudes that would be added to it:#gordie. as per forgetting him the first time.#the principal of the school and his alter ego#the dark type leader of team star#the biology. art. and cooking teacher#larry.#and the professor from pokemon sleep#for the record there are pokegals that i like too but that list is much shorter than thus much less interesting#it's hard for me to get into anime girls because i always feel like they're trying to sell me something#and i'm usually not buying

#teeth chattering#tbh i don't think anyone really is gonna purchase anything#idk i always feel like my work isn't that great so i can't fanthom anyone want to buy a print and put it on their walls unless it was#fanart related.#which like i know fanart sells but idk but i am surprised how well forget me nots is going#there are more people invested in forget me nots than i thought#which i am always grateful but also oh uhhhh i thought i would have more time.#just pulling a miyazaki/fujimoto and just uhhhh making forget me nots up as i go tbh.#only way i can make content really. no outline idk the ending just gonna keep writing and then figure it out.#tbh i just storyboard the whole chapter and then i edit it while making the pages.

Can I make a confession. I do not get the paranoia around selling bound fanfic
#like I think it is probably messy legally speaking#but also like#so is fanart?#and uhhh idk if you’ve noticed#but people buy and sell a LOT of fanart lmao#and it’s accepted#I don’t get why fanfic is different#like. both are probably breaking copyright law#but like. nobody really cares that much#and I think the vast majority of creatives will not sue people selling fanfics if their work#idk it’s just a weird thing to me#the huge moral panic over it#maybe there’s a layer to this I don’t get??#but uhhhh#idk man

D3G_Takahashi you are the boniji artist ever 💗💛
Their art really make me feel like this every time
I haven't seen all of their boniji/BTR art yet but these are my favorites so far (tho tbh I love all of their art!)
Source under the cut
#every time they upload boniji fanart I squeal and giggle and kick my legs and punch the air and throw up and explode#their art is just SOOO CUTE!!! and so wholesome!!!#and it's nice that they upload pretty consistently and when they do it makes my day and always put a smile on my face :)))#there are some okay boniji artists on twt but they're my favorite#and I followed them the moment I found their art when I was scouring boniji fanart there#and afaik they don't make sus fanart which is kinda my ick to some BTR artists on twt#so it's pretty refreshing to find an artist who makes fluffy wholesome fanarts#like it's so charming that they captured the highschool sweethearts/crush feeling#and the occasional domestic bliss so well on their boniji art it's so friggin sweet!!#also they like to draw Nijika with tsuchinoko!Bocchi often which I find precious xD#gosh I wish I could express my admiration for their art but my jp is not that great#and I feel self conscious if I comment some English gibberish gushing over their art#I'm just sooo normal abt their bnj art (◔‿◔) *barking biting snarling going around in circles foams at the mouth*#ALSO! ALSO!! THEY AND OTHER BNJ ARTISTS ARE SELLING BNJ DOUJINS/ZINES SINCE DEC31 AND I WANTED SO BAD TO BUY IT 😩😫😭😭IF NOT ALL OF THE ARTIS#but I never ordered/don't know how to order stuff from JP before and even if I knew I'm broke af 😔#*sigh* oh well I'll guess I'll wait- HOPE that someone who bought it will translate it and upload it to dynasty scans someday :')🤞🤞

Normally I wouldn't bother making a post like this but it came to my attention yesterday via a twitter thread that tumblr user fridaypls is using AI elements in their fanart. Now, if they were doing this because they didn't feel entirely confident in their artistic ability, and they were just doing this for fanart they posted online, then I'd shrug my shoulders and go "eh, whatever"
However, I then found out that fridaypls is selling this fanart and even making posts like "buy my Gale print and get Tim Downie to sign it" and I just can't sit idly by whilst someone makes profit off AI 'art' and there are so many other artists (myself included) trying to make a living off our own art.
The tweet thread about the use of AI by fridaypls can be viewed here and here but I'll also copy and paste some of the examples under a cut line in this post.
So far on twitter, fridaypls got wind of the thread going around about them and they deactivated their account rather than take accountability. I'm probably going to be blocked by them for making this post, but I encourage you to reblog this and spread the word and please, PLEASE don't buy artwork from someone using AI generated images. There are so many other hardworking artists out there making amazing fanart and merch that you can give your money to instead.
Examples from twitter:

Ok, so ... you have that same position for fanart, right?
Do you buy fanart? Do you commission your favorite fandom pairing? Do you support the Patreon or Ko-fis of fanartists? Do you go to Artist Alleys at conventions and comic cons for art prints? Do you buy homemade plushies of fandom characters? Do you buy fandom clothing, jewelry, or costume pieces made by independent artists?
If you answered yes to any of these then fanfiction can and should also be sold.
Fanfiction is not different than any other fan craft. It is no more illegal than any other fan craft that almost everyone here is definitely supporting.
If fanartists can sell their works online or in person, if they can have tip jars for people to express appreciation, then so can fanauthors.
But if you're going to maintain the position that you can't offer tips to fanauthors and you can't let fanauthors sell printed copies of their own works, then STOP supporting all fanartists right now.
Stop going to conventions and buying prints. Stop buying homemade plushies. Stop buying homemade jewelry and clothing and costumes if it has anything to do with an existing IP.
Let Artist's Alley collapse.
Do you see how hypocritical this is?
You can either have both, or none at all. That fanfiction somehow deserves less support than other crafts directly leads to the impression that it's the lesser art form. A03's practices of denying support for authors contributes to this.
I'm not saying that A03 doesn't do good work, but it is NOT all sunshine and roses (they recently advocated for AI, btw). There are negative consequences ... like the fact that so many people visit A03 but you're all only out there reblogging pictures and not stories.
The fact that not one single fanfic advocate is pointing out this discrepancy between fanfic and fanart sends the message that writing is not real art. It's a continuation of the deep belief that fanfic and fanauthors don't deserve your support, your reblogs, your comments, or your sharing of their works because written words aren't as good as visual art. I wonder why fanfic authors are out there crying about not getting recognition?
This is part of why they don't.
Selling fanfic is not more dangerous than selling fanart. It's the same inherent risk. Why aren't any of you pointing it out? Why aren't any of you advocating for some kind of positive change that allows support of fanfiction, instead of stonewalling every single attempt to elevate fanfiction to the level of fanart, as it deserves?
This is a problem. The position that "no one can sell fanfic" (false), is not a good position, and it needs to be called out. More of you need to be saying, "wow, it's too bad that it's so hard to sell physical copies of my fanfic," not "thou shalt never sell fanfic ever."
If fanfiction can only exist if it's free, then fanart can only exist if it's free, and we know the latter just isn't true.
I'm all for keeping fanfic and fanart free for viewing and reading online. At no point should any of this ever be gatekept behind some paywall - I'm looking at you, Patreon artists with your fanart how-tos and nsfw fanart locked away behind pay schemes. But tip jars if you liked something? Yes. Physical copies that you can either order or buy in person? Yes. Commissions of something specific that isn't already made? Yes!
Is the environment perfect for selling fanfiction? No, of course not and I don't say that it is. But we should be trying to get there. At the very least, we should be TALKING ABOUT IT, not running scared because you "can't" (you CAN). You cannot answer to me that "it's illegal" if you support any other kind of fan craft.
THAT'S the real misinformation - that no one acknowledges authors should be able to sell their works too because it is not different.
Authors should be able to set up an Artist's Alley table and sell printed copies of their work. They should be able to have tip jars.
Btw, if you're an author who wants a tip jar, you can go create one RIGHT NOW - just link your A03 to an intermediate hub like tumblr or instagram. You can offer your bound copies there too, if that's something you want to do.
I am never not going to keep pointing this out. All I ever see is this one, stale tune and nobody trying to do better. And look, if you never support fan stuffs ever because it's "illegal" then all the power to you, and this essay isn't for you.
This essay is for the hypocrites who support visual art but not written words. I see you and I'm calling the bluff. I demand better for our writers, and I'm not afraid of saying so. Your position devalues fanfiction and puts authors at a disadvantage. It says "we'll pay artists because they deserve something for what they do, but you authors better keep cranking out those words for me." You should be working create better environments for writers.
STOP SELLING BOUND FANFICTION
I cannot blame them for pulling their works, in fact I'm proud of them for doing so. Fanfiction is a community of gifting. As authors we write fics and share our works for free. Fanfiction is a weird, fragile, liminal space that can crumble at any time. This fragility needs to be respected.
If you want fanfiction to be around for you to enjoy, then the rules need to be respected!
You can bind fics. You can gift bound fics. DO NOT SELL BOUND FICS!!
Or soon we won't have fanfiction anymore and the world will be much darker for it.
#people throw around Anne Rice's name like she's the boogeyman#I was there and I'm yawning about it. I. demand. BETTER#yes fanfic is illegal and so what? so is fanart#if you can sell one you can sell the other. and so here we are#AUTHORS CAN AND SHOULD SELL THEIR OWN FANFIC#AUTHORS CAN AND SHOULD HAVE TIP JARS#people should be pointing out the barriers and working to remove them or find ways around them#not drinking the koolaid that you 'can't'#reprint that argument using 'fanart' instead of 'fanfic' and you sound ridiculous#I would absolutely buy nice printed copies of fanfic straight from the author if that option was there#I buy prints of art I've already seen online#I buy physical graphic novels of stories I've already read online#I would do the same with fanfic and I bet lots of other people would too if they WOKE UP#what gets me the most tho? isn't that it's hard or 'illegal' (just like fanart)#it's that nobody tries and nobody is talking about the different treatment of art vs words#I would be a lot more charitable if people WERE. if they were TRYING#but they're just not. they've already given up and fallen over dead#commentary#fanfiction#if you're gonna attack authors who want tip jars then I expect you to go after all the fanartists and take them down too#if there is no consistency here then there is simply no argument

The thing I love and appreciate so much about Kanej is that they are an example of the deeper more nuanced aspects of a relationship that is so often overlooked in modern media.
It's Kaz loving Inej's laugh, it's Inej paying such close attention to Kaz that she can tell when he passed out just from the change in his breathing, it's Kaz emptying his life savings to buy Inej her freedom, it's Inej about to kill all the Dregs just to save Kaz, it's Kaz buying Inej a ship so she can have her dream of hunting slavers even though that means they'll be separated, it's Inej accepting who Kaz is and acknowledging that even if she didn't always agree with his methods that the Barrel needs him just as he is.
It's how well they know each other, that their relationship is based on friendship and mutual understanding, it's the little things like Kaz seeing Inej and feeling like a little boy who believes in magic again.
It's so much more than the typical modern portrayal of love that requires touching or sex to telegraph what two people feel about each other. They never need to hug or kiss or hold hands for us the readers to know how they feel because Leigh put the effort into portraying the beauty and depth of real love that modern media so often doesn't bother to attempt.
Regardless even of the fact that I, and many other aroacespec people, feel represented by Kaz, Inej, and their relationship, their relation and interactions with each other shows the aspects of love and friendship that is so rare in modern medias. And especially for younger generations growing up with TV and books, seeing love portrayed as sex or physical attraction can be very misleading and leave them confused when those things don't give the satisfaction in real life that it is given in media. But Kanej is the balance of that, they are real love, portrayed in the ways that show what real love is.
Young boys and girls and non binaries and every other gender or type of person can read these books or watch the show and see what real love is. They can see they don't have to sell their bodies or give up their boundaries to satisfy another person and that none of that would guarantee being loved, that love is so much more than just physical attraction, that being known and valued for who you are as a person in the current moment is the most important thing.
I want to make this another TedTalk about why I take issue with Kanej being portrayed in fanfics and fanarts as touchy or needing that to show they've healed or that their relationship is valid, but I'll keep this one focused on the positives so I don't get all the aphobes and haters clogging up my notifs ◉‿◉
#grishaverse#six of crows#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#dirtyhands#the bastard of the barrel#the wraith#kanej#kaz x inej#kaz and inej#kaz brekker x inej ghafa#kaz brekker and inej ghafa#kanej thoughts#kanej post
