Some of my favourite 'not fan art' pieces I did this year! Hope to draw even more original work in the coming one

To give an example of how many of these types of tags/replies I get, most (though not all) of these are all from one post.

This isn't meant to shame anyone, which is why I've cropped out usernames, so please don't take this as a personal attack if you leave these types of tags on art/writing. I'm only asking that you consider how you might feel when a whole bunch of people are tagging your work with comments about harming themselves in reaction to something you created.

I know it's meant to be a compliment but I have severe depression and anxiety and seeing so many of these comments is overwhelming and makes me actively dislike posts where I get so many of them. I stop interacting with those posts, I don't look at them and I've considered deleting posts I that I used to love.

Yes, I like writing angst and sad things. Yes, dramatic tags are fun! Even ones that are like "I'm exploding!" are fine, because that's ridiculous! "Crying, screaming, throwing up!", "I'm sobbing", "Frothing at the mouth" and many more silly/dramatic tags are absolutely fine with me! Just not ones that so blatantly involve self harm and suicide.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how they can or can't react to art/writing, but just consider that the writer/artist does see your tags, all the tags and stuff like this being repeatedly thrown someone's way can effect them mentally.

It honestly baffles me that some people are so casually dismissive of animals' feelings. Istg some ppl only see pets like toys and are barely able to hide it

Me: I know it's not the same for everyone else, but for me personally...

Them: Yeah well that's not how it is for me! You don't speak for everyone.

my opinion about the watcher news basically boils down to this:

watcher is screwing over a huge portion of its fanbase with this move considering how many people within it are teenagers who may not have access to streaming services, low-income adults who can't afford yet another streaming service (if any), and international fans who couldn't sign up for a US based streaming service even if they wanted to. it's okay to be angry about this, especially if you're one of those people who now can't support shows you loved or will be unable to see any of those shows going forward because of it.

and

youtube's payout to creators has dwindled in recent years to the point that it is impossible to fund the kind of productions watcher makes purely through it, and in order to sustain a company of 40+ people they need a more stable source of income not reliant on ads from outside companies and patreon, which, in this case, means a pivot to streaming. it's okay to be upset that creators you like have to turn to such methods to continue funding their work, whether you have the means to support them through these avenues or not.

and

if the early reactions to this move are any indication, watcher will probably not get the fan buy-in they anticipated and in all likelihood the new streaming site will either fail within a year or two because it isn't making enough money and take the company with it or they'll be bought out by a larger company and have their shows archived or deleted for tax purposes like what's happened to roosterteeth. it is okay to be scared by that potential future and seek to preserve as much content as you can before that happens.

are all statements that can and should coexist

i always imagined this would happen without warning, like suddenly on an ocean cliff side but this is the kind of thing where waiting for the time to be right would just mean waiting forever.

I keep thinking about Sephiroth going to therapy and how incredibly unrealistic it would be for him to get proper help when he was at Shinra. Professor Hojo likely micromanaged every aspect of his medical care with meticulous documentation and using Sephiroth's whole being as research material. No scenario where Sephiroth gets therapy ends well because he was Shinra's property, not his own person.

#1 Any therapy sessions would have been conducted under Hojo's supervision, or worse: Hojo taking on the roll of the therapist himself. Sephiroth wouldn't be able to properly talk about his struggles without it being a) dismissed by Hojo or b) having it used against him.

#2 Even if Genesis and Angeal (or even Sephiroth himself) had managed to arrange therapy outside of Shinra, the company's pervasive, creepy ass control over Midgar would have likely led to monitoring and coercing the therapist for information.

#3 (and what I heavily suspect was the case) Shinra provided a therapist within their roster of doctors for Sephiroth. Hojo may have been disgusting but he wasn't dense, and knew that every type of doctor would benefit his precious creation. BUT these therapy sessions are heavily monitored and tailored to fit Shinra's needs. It could've been another avenue for Hojo to manipulate Sephiroth and have a full view of his mind. Hojo would want full access to every little thing that goes on in Sephiroth's psyche. Writing this out now, I wouldn't be surprised if these "therapy sessions" were something he was forced to do, forced to open up and give up what little privacy he had. Sephiroth was not a person to Shinra. He was a weapon, something less than human. That man had no freedom until his breakdown in Nibelheim.

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

Seen a lot of bad takes and misinterpretations of Scar as a character across all major versions of the FMA series, and none betrays a greater failure in grasping his character, his narrative, and the journey he goes through than describing him as a "murderous religious fanatic."

Congratulations! You completely failed to grasp the most rudimentary beats of this character and instead went with a racist caricature instead! Flush your head into a toilet!

[whump-on-a-string]

I probably will need to do Physical Therapy for the rest of my life but at the moment mental health makes that feel SO OVERWHELMING that I wish I could check myself into a magically ethical institution that would only let me eat after I do my Required Physical Therapy because I just can't self-motivate to even cook food and EAT half the time. Adding excersize to that sounds IMPOSSIBLE rn. I wish I could just exist in a tiny quiet room with no worries about rent or food money for a while, and hope I can process everything and catch up with the world around me. I'll get through it but I'm still gonna process my brain thoughts with weird little doodles!
