On a more serious note, though. I know itâs a super popular series and you might be seeing fanart of it everywhere, but Iâm still doing my own because I too sincerely enjoy it. Let people do whatever they want, goddamnit, let them celebrate the stuff that motivates them to keep drawing and telling stories. Iâm old enough, feel validated enough as an artist and Iâm comfortable enough with the things I like to not care at all about your comment, but said comment might have reached someone more fragile about their tastes (and therefore identity, the two can be rather tangled together). I know that as a 14-16 years old, I didnât dare to talk about a lot of stuff I loved (books, music, filmsâŚ) because I was afraid that people would make fun of me because my tastes were too mainstream, or too obscure, or too childish, or not trendy enough⌠anything, actually. I canât remember the sheer number of occasions I lied about liking or not liking something to avoid being mocked, protect myself and be accepted by the people I was with. The number of times I started talking about something I loved, waited for the reaction of my audience, and if it seemed like my taste wasnât shared, quickly switched sides with a quick âYouâre right, I donât like it that much either. The plot doesnât make sense and the effects are super cheesy.â or âyeah, by âI love the Dublinersâ, I mean, my parents made me listen to them. Otherwise, my taste in music is eclectic.â. And felt like a dirty coward afterwards.
