I guess I'm switzer-Cameron?

[ post by Downstar @downstar_ao3: Just a reminder that fictional characters aren't real people that need to be held accountable for their actions. They are vehicles to tell a story. Their flaws and contradictions are a feature not a bug. And appreciating the role they play in the story is not a moral failing. ]

#dead poets society #I forgot which fandom an old fandom of mine took this tagging system from—but due to very polarizing characters in the source material #there'd be (duh) anti-Character and pro-Character or Character Apologism tags #that delineated space for people to rave or vent about a character as their personal preferences and emotional biases drew them to #and then the Switzer-Character tag is supposed to be for people that enjoy examining and discussing all sides...#...which is actually possible to do with a fictional character...because a fictional character is a narrative construction...#And it's all well and good to want to forget that if you relate a lot to a specific character #or love/hate something else about them that is not central to or even compatible with the mindset of analyzing a narrative construct #fandom sure does make spaces for personal preferences and emotional bias #that practically IS fandom #but I also like analyzing themes and plot structure and directorial/actor decisions and the historical context that produced the work #stuff like that #that...i think blorbo-stanning and anti-Character venting etc sometimes doesn't leave much room for

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

#yes i'm just going to come out and say it i'm talking about sera #not exclusively but i am talking about her #'but her writer actually iS A--' you don't know that! it doesn't matter! and i don't care!#just say that you do not like the character.#people will reblog posts about the latest actor or YA author or whatever getting forced out of the closet and be like #'wow. :( that's terrible.'#and then GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING IT #when are we going to learn #when are we going to stop doing this BEFORE somebody is forcibly outed #because in practical terms #that means you have to be okay with queer characters being written by straight people.#you have to stop weaponizing that against writers you don't like.#you have to be willing to critique the writing on its own merits #without using the writer's (assumed) identity to prop up your arguments #that's how it works #but who wants to actually change the way they talk about media #when tearing apart people's identities for clout is far more entertaining.#gwaren exports #fandom problems #fandom critical

#danny phantom #fanart #digital art #initially this was a sketch that was thrown into the graveyard #with the many other ideas i have for various fandoms #but after watching pewdiepies drawing video I was motivated to at least try to finish it #i still hate it which is why i threw it into the graveyard to begin with #but im happy i completed something #i might drag something else from there as well #to practice coloring and stuff i guess

It's not a headcanon if it's the truth.

I got my hair cut the other day and of course I had to draw the dca boys running a hair salon:

Sun would be so effortlessly charming. Always chatting away with customers, explaining each product he uses and how to best maintain and style their hair.

Moon I can see being popular with the less chattier customers (like me) but over time they begin to open up. I imagine he hums while working. Otherwise, he's all ears for the newest gossip.

(The clipped up hat idea came from @bamsara's solar lunacy doodles!)

Also I love the popular headcanon that the dca can speak other languages, so I can imagine them being a hit with the aunties.

The full sketch page under cut! And some of my other thoughts

Other thoughts about this... AU? Can I call it an AU? Feels kinda small for an AU, but whatever:

Eclipse works there too! Haven't decided if it would be canon or fanon Eclipse, though I really like the image of 4-armed Eclipse working on 2 clients at once (plus, the nickname Clip is perfect for this scenario)

of course they're great with kids! They'd be able to console kids that get scared of getting their hair cut. Sun would do a little trick and tell them how good and brave they are all the way through. Moon would console them and hum a soothing song (or hey maybe they notice the kid's wearing a disney shirt and starts humming some showtunes). Every kid gets a candydrop and a balloon on their way out.

y/n works at the hair salon as a part-timer and does tasks around the salon like sweeping, arranging bookings, washing hair, etc. They don't really care too much about their own hair, but the boys are always offering to style it, dye it, braid it. With y/n's permission, the boys always toy with their hair—patting it, combing their hands through it, brushing it over y/n's ear, ruffling it.

#fnaf sun #fnaf moon #fnaf dca #dca fandom #this idea has been running rampant in my brain while I've been trying to focus on my modules these past few days #I can't take any credit for their outfits tho these were literally just what the hairdressers at my local salon we wearing that day #this all started because my hairdresser was wearing a delightfully yellow sweater #and just ohmygosh hairdresser sunny popped into my mind #this was also an experimentation with colouring with markers #need more colouring practice especially with shading #also learned the hard way that none of my fineliners are waterproof #or at least they don't play well with my markers! they seem to work with my watercolour paints just fine #sighhhhhh #crab art #New Do Same You AU
