saying this as respectfully as possible but. Do not put fandom content creators on a pedestal. We are also just fans contributing to a community just as you are. We have boundary on our own work and that’s it. What I say is not and should not be considered sth the whole fandom should listen to. I’m just a normal ass person ranting about things on my blog. If it does not have a fandom tag for others to engage in, do not make it out to be me trying to start fights or addressing the whole community. Because it’s not.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my art, my lore talk, is biased. I’ve never tried to hide that I view Marika a certain way and will always develop my theory following that base assumption.

Aside from translation stuffs and pointing out in-game items, everything else I say you can look at it, agree or disagree, and move on to form your own opinions. Just because I draw stuffs doesn’t mean you get to saddle me with responsibilities about managing fandom expectations. What the hell? I’m a fan artist, I’m the last person who you should look at for “leaderism” (?) WHAT?

I can and will be a hater in my own space, like I know sometimes other artists will just post their stuffs and not engage too heavily with fandom, and for a while I did try to do that here (because I’m already a dramatic ass on twitter), that’s just not me though.

You will get art and you will get my opinions as well.

#asking ppl to [celebrate different takes] is... WHAT?#different takes as in well I think she likes apples and you think she likes grapes. yeah that’s some fun discussion to be have #but different takes as in the fundamental of a character’s drive and personality??? NO #let’s put that down very clear here #I can still read fics where Marika is cold and calculate and manipulative as long as I can see there’re layers to it and the author #set it up in a way that I can see they got her backstory and build those layers based on that #and then there are ppl who literally only portray her as omg evil girlboss 101 let’s blame everything on this cardboard character #then I click back.#and there r ppl who might not vibe with how i portray her and they can ignore me. THAT'S OK TOO. we r in our own space.#it’s as simple as that!#ever since the dlc is out i literally could see the amount of ppl blocking me go up and im just “ok” because i do go around muting ppl too.#that's normal fandom space managing experience. pls do that #lore discussion is for ppl to engage in so u say ur piece i say mine and we can continue or not depending on situation #but FANWORK? leave each other alone or be a hater in ur own space ok?#personal #also where are these ppl who have been defending Marika at... because if u exclude me #and some others i can count on one hand. where are these ppl?#ppl saying headass stuffs about the HS aren't even Marika fans or engage too much in fandom to begin with #meanwhile u can't even find one youtube lore essay that says anything good about her #ppl are even trying to give Messmer's mother position to GEQ for no goddamn reason #like where is this overwhelming support for Marika at cuz as the active Marika stan around im not seeing it
