I'm making a mini-comic of one of your chapters. Everything was working fine recently, but it seems the website is down and I can't read your amazing story. Are you experiencing the same problem, or has it happened before on this site?

I've never really had an issue with it. Last I checked it was working for me. I'm interested to see your mini comic!

Hello!

I just wanted to drop in and say that I hope you and your loved ones have been doing good! 💕💕

Aw, thank you!! 💕 My 10 month old has been battling severe eczema, mostly on her face for most of her life now. I'm really hoping it gets better by the time she turns one. Other than that, things are going well. I really hope next year I can get back into my art again when my eldest starts kindergarten and I get more free time!

Stitch copying Jumba lives rent free in my heart.

Are you planning to revive the comic "Error/Stitch?" It's a beautiful comic. Many readers would love for you to revive it and give it a beautiful ending.

Yes I am. Thank you for your messages, I'm glad so many people are enjoying my story.

Older sketches, some are from my fic Error 626.

After some thoughts, I feel like the only rational way to think of the live action is as an alternate universe, much like the anime/spin off's. I just cannot tie it to the original, because while similar to the original it is just too different.

That's all I will say on it. Moving on to the future, I will be focusing on my own art/stories moving forward.

Feeling better now! :)

[syntheticsorrow]

I ended up deleting those reviews. I just don't have it in me anymore to care about the live action, because liking it just results in hostility. Getting bullied is where I have to draw a line though.

I'm so tired of this. I just want to enjoy the franchise I love so much with my own art and stories, but I don't feel it in me to anymore after the past few days.

Maybe I'll feel better later.

Sorry everyone.

I love how I left the fandom for a few years, then returned to this nightmare. Nothing new—I went through this with the Zim fandom years ago. I actually drew this in excitement of the live action two days ago, and then I saw what became of it after it was released and my motivation just slumped again. I wanted to draw works adapted into my own versions of the movie. That's the thing about me—I get inspired so easily but I let others get under my skin too much and just tend to back off and leave my ideas on the wayside. But man, the backlash has been unreal. Screw it though, maybe I'll just do it because I want to. I'm 35 now, a stressed mother with a mortgage and I'm just so TIRED of this shit happening in the various fandoms I've been a part of. Lilo and Stitch has been the ONE thing that kept me slumping throughout the years. I looked forward to the movie for so long, even when others were just entirely negative and hating on it. Yes, I will still stand my ground as one of the few that ENJOYED the movie. Why? Because in the 2002 movie, Stitch and Jumba were originally designed to be criminals and Stitch was a gang leader, Jumba being a PART of his gang. The deleted 747 sequence with Stitch's gang is a direct reference to this. Of course that was all removed though because it was too mature for a kids movie and the themes didn't sit well with audiences. I say this though, as I believe this to be the most likely reason why Jumba was a criminal in the movie vs the empathetic father we received in the show/series/shorts. Could be wrong, but I think it's entirely plausible. I didn't exactly mind Zach Galifianakis as Jumba, it certainly was interesting to see Jumba in a different light—though yes, I prefer original Jumba at the end of the day, as well as the original Pleakley. Because of their personalities. The OG franchise is a staple to my heart and always will be.

Regardless, I'll still be drawing what I love and have loved since I was 12. The current attitude towards the live action won't change anything for me. I have my own aspects of the franchise that I enjoy focusing on, particularly Chopsuey (621) and Jumba and Stitch's relationship. That's what keeps my passion/interests strong. I have a lot of ideas, but I don't get much time to myself anymore. So when I do post, any content of Lilo and Stitch, that's what my focus will be, as well as content from my story, Error 626, which is almost completed and I am currently writing the last chapter. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12709810/1/Error-626

For now though, I might consider colouring this up if I can kick the negativity bringing me down. It's not just that though, I've had it pretty rough the past few months with a very hurtful family situation going on in the background.

Lilo and Stitch Live Action

I saw the movie yesterday. As a die-hard fan, here is my thoughts.

(Warning: Spoilers ahead)

I never went to see the movie expecting a scene for scene remake. And personally, I didn't want that. I was delighted to see a new take on the movie and I judged the movie based on the perspective as a parent. It was very realistic. I've seen a lot negativity across here and X, very disheartening and mentally exhausting, and mostly of gripes about Jumba and Nani. While I wasn't expecting the route they went with Jumba, I didn't hate the approach. And Nani's route struck me as the most realistic approach to the families situation. I certainly don't disparage the film based on characters not having identical traits/stories to the original film. Personally for me, it would be ridiculous to expect the movie had to be a clone of the original story in the times we are living in. It was adapted to a modern audience. If you want the 90's/early 2000's nostalgia I suggest simply going back to watch the originals again, they will always be there. Gantu not being in the film didn't ruin anything for me. Pleakley and Jumba being different didn't ruin anything for me. The whole ending compared to what happened with the original STILL didn't ruin anything for me. I can enjoy both the live action AND the originals. I just cannot believe how fast people have been to dismiss it so heavily. I laughed, I cried. Hell, even my husband cried. It was everything I wanted it to be, and they hit the nail on the head with Stitch being a mixture of his personalities, both of the original and Stitch has a Glitch. I walked out of that movie with the exact same feelings I had from seeing the original at the drive-in when I was 12. That was the one thing I was hoping for, and that was what I got. To me, that made it successful. It hit me hard.

The sheer amount of negativity here is NOT what I see elsewhere. From what I see online across Tumblr and X, it's seems to be absolute fandom purists that hate it the most. I'm not one of those and I have an open mind. I don't need something to be dead accurate to the source material to be happy, which is why I enjoyed the anime and the other adaption (Stitch and Ai) whereas there is so much hate for them across the internet as well. Personally, I don't care if you hate this new Lilo and Stitch adaption. I just don't want to be part of that hate because I loved the movie. I cannot wait for my kids to see it, especially my eldest daughter in another year or so when she understands more (she is 3).

Of course, I was disappointed with some aspects, but the disappointment was relatively minor for me. You bet I was sad Stitch never showed Lilo his true form (I do question the director's decision there as it was one of my absolute favourite moments of the original). And that there was no mention of the Ugly Duckling, the one thing Stitch holds dear and what makes him Stitch—but as mentioned, those were minor disappointments. The story and the emotional retelling of it told made up for those losses. One other thing I loved was that David held Stitch a lot more. Stitch drowning to save Lilo really did it for me, especially the gesture... Nani trying her absolute damn hardest to save him despite his density. It was beautiful. As was the film. It also seemed to set up for a sequel and I sure hope we get one. For now, I cannot wait until I can see it again. I may very well be in the minority that enjoyed this movie, but that doesn't bother me because I'm used to being in the minority when it comes to liking spin-offs.

Lilo & Stitch's need to make absolutely everyone round and squishy and adorable is so. Yes. Like, look at Jumba.

This is a crazed evil scientist that wants to bring chaos to the galaxy just for fun, ending lives and civilizations and stuff like that.

But he's so precious.

I found you through error 626. I been out of the fandom for years seeing the live action movie has brought me back. I wanted to ask will lilo get equal amount of attention as stitch I feel lilo is a very underrated character

The focus of Error 626 is Stitch.

If she gets an equal amount of attention it will be because I decide to write her having so. The story itself is nearly completed with one chapter remaining and the future of it will be discussed then when I actually have free time to finish it. I don’t know when that will be as of now but it will be soon.

Hello again everyone. Well, coming back to Tumblr after a few years, I can see another situation where I'm in the minority when it comes to looking forward to the live action Lilo and Stitch. Coming from the background of liking the Stitch anime and Stitch and Ai, I actually had to stop looking at the tag. I'm excited for it and have been for a while and I thought the trailer was fantastic. The only thing that still gets on my nerves is the excessive amount of Stitch merch, which I posted about a fair while back. Anyway, aside from that, it'll still be a while until I'm able to produce anything art-wise again as I'm a mum of 2 now! Unfortunately now free/personal time for me is extremely scarce, but I'm trying to balance it between work and leisure and even with that it's so limited I get barely two hours to myself and that's when my kid/baby are asleep (provided they actually sleep XD). In due time I'll be able to post again and I know the limitations of being able to won't be forever. It's been nice to be away though, I will admit, I was able to focus on myself and I learned to let go of a lot of things not because I wanted to but because I had to. I ended up selling and donating a lot of items I once cherished. It's been a journey for sure! :)

Hello, dont knew if you´re still active. Just want to say that I found your Astro and Cora art and love it. Really cute and nice art and yes, I ship them too. :-) Hope that you maybe want to make more of them.

Thank you! :) I appreciate your ask. I check in occasionally though I currently I have no intentions on coming back to the art community for now. I have no personal time anymore as it all goes into my work and raising my daughter and I get absolutely zero time for myself. I'm really glad you like my Astro and Cora art! I do enjoy the ship, but I just don't have the devotion or even energy for that matter to draw them anymore. Maybe one day I will be able to draw something for myself again, but for now it's a backburner for me as I have pretty important things to focus on.

Hi girl I used to love your fanfiction “Behind Cloaked Freedom” about Mewtwo and Linda. I am feeling super nostalgic and went looking for it but could not find it :( Could you please point it to me? I know I saw it finished on Deviantart ages ago, or am I crazy? Cheers, from a Mewtwo fan to another!

Oh lordy, I absolutely hate that story lol. I wrote it back when I was a very amateur writer and I get embarrassed by it. It's still over on Deviantart actually, you're not crazy! I just closed down the account and my work there is in storage. I'd be happy to send it to you via google drive or something similar. From what I can see I did work on another chapter of it but I'm not sure if I ever uploaded it. Most of the formatting is weird in it because I manually formatted it to upload to fanfiction, but it's still readable. Thanks for remembering and liking my story, I didn't think anybody would ever ask me about it again tbh. ^^
