First of all I would like to say that the support and love, appreciation that I've received over the years has been awesome! Thanks so much for all of the well wishes, the comments and enjoying the ride with the lewd pupper that ish I 😋
I wanted to start this off with a more positive note and then move into some stuff that I have noticed that I don't appreciate.
Quite a few of the people I've supported for years, given the benefit of the doubt and made excuses/reasons for in my mind as well as defended kinda suck and fall short when it comes to repaying the favor. And I know it shouldn't be an obligation and also that real life can lots of times get in the way and come first but all of the time? Are you only going to post journals whining and wailing about how unfair life is and only when you have something to complain about? Are you only gonna show up to the party to ruin it, only comment on art and pay attention only to nitpick and bring artists down, ignore the stories that take so sooooo long to write (because I don't like to read, it's boring and the only thing interesting is when Johnny puts his dick in Monica or Raymond). No offense but that's pathetic to me, especially when you're not putting in any of the work yourself, especially when you sit back and do nothing but commission what you want. Yeah you work hard for the money but it shouldn't give you the right to treat those of us who come home from working a 9 to 5 right to another job that a lot of times is thankless with a bunch of customers who can be some of the most entitled, ignorant, egotistical fluffs ever, like shit.
Let me just pause here and say that a vast majority of people who I have done business with have been wonderful to work with, patient with me exc. I've been on both sides of things, commissioning and being the artist commissioned. Everyone's perspective is different as well as relevant. From where I'm standing though there are so soooo many people willing to trash the efforts of anyone who tries.
As if it isn't hard enough to practice for years, be lucky enough to attract an audience, keep said audience, develop a style, gain traction and self confidence while simultaneously having to work through changes in technology, art programs, updates, what's popular and relevant vs what is tossed aside because it's so yester year and old....
All of that, all of that perseverance and up hill battle and even if you have never screwed over anyone, even if you have been dependable and go out of your way to be nice, you still get lumped in with the rest, with the few instances where artists do take money and run. Over generalization, as well as a lack of appreciation is rampant for most things these days because of oversaturation of entertainment. There are so many many things we can do and so much available that it's easy to take it for granted or to make demands that might seem completely reasonable when they aren't.
I am thankful for all that this Fandom has given me personally but I'm so sick of the stupid, entitled mother fuckers who have nothing better to do with their time and their lives than to be bitter. Maybe something happened to you or someone wronged you.....I'm sorry and empathize that it did. Maybe it's been a streak of bad luck that you've suffered, my condolences to you and yours. Doesn't in any way however change the fact that I'm not responsible and it's not my fault. You did dumb things that have won you dumb prizes, I had nothing to do with selecting or winning them for you. You do.
So word to the wise if you want to share positivity and good vibes by all means share, hit me up, provide constructive criticism every once in a while by all means. But keep your drama and petty put upon bullshit out of my sandbox and out of my outlet for imagination. I built mine up brick by brick so before you come to me cocked and ready to spread hate and a bad mood turn right around and leave me be, especially if you haven't put in the time or the effort (YOURSELF) to build yours. You want things to get better, they aren't going to if all you can do is complain about everyone else when the real problem is in the mirror, staring you back in the eyes, a perfect, entitled copy of you leering back but somehow invisible to your blind ass because for some reason your shit is an aphrodisiac and doesn't smell bad, somehow being nice is beneath you....
There's enough bull in the real world without you messing up make believe and online life as well. So do us all a favor and back off.
Anyways rant over. I don't like feeling this way at all. But it just is something that has been happening lots to both me and quite a few of my friends, and it's not cool.
