I don't like to make posts like this but I want it to be known.
-I DO NOT APPRECIATE MY ART OR CHARACTERS BEING USED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR DIRECT CREDIT-
I don't want people self shipping with SMG8 or any of my ocs, nor do I want misinformation being spread of my ocs
Without proper credit that makes me feel that my oc that I worked very hard to create and develop is not being respected. That I'm not being respected. I try to push off this stuff but my art has been reposted without credit aswell as art has been made credited to someone else.
I don't want people who I am not friends or close with to create romantic material of themselves and SMG8 or any other character I create. I'm a very small creator and nothing I make is mainstream. I don't want people shipping children or other with my adult ocs.
Why has Husk never stood up for himself, especially when uncomfortable over Angel's advances?
Well, what if it's because of the very deer who owns his soul.
(TW FOR SLIGHT SA/ABUSE REFERENCES, MENTIONS OF BEING DRUGGED) (ITS ANGEL DUST)
ALRIGHT YALL, BEAU IS BACK WITH ANOTHER ANALYSIS. I'm so excited to be writing a Husk-centric one, he's one of my favorite characters!
So, we all know Angel likes to flirt, and this is mostly because of the way he copes with his own situation. Husk makes it very prominent about his discomfort towards these gestures, as he's the main victim of Angel's fake flirting.
While he shows his discomfort, however, he never actually tells Angel to stop. All he does is push him away, weather that is an annoyed reaction or literally pushing him away. He never sets boundaries, or even says no to him.
This all changes when Charlie introduces the concept of boundaries to Husk, as she had crossed Angel's earlier with the Valentino situation. While Husk seems annoyed about her remark, he takes it to Husk.
When Husk talks to Angel after saving him from being drugged at a club, we notice him setting boundaries for the first time, saying that Angel is always "pushing [his] boundaries". He also uses the same language he learns from Charlie earlier with the boundaries talk.
But why does Husk never set boundaries before this? Because he can not.
Husk is on a leash, meaning he has to take every order from his boss, or he could lose his life. He can't say no.
And Alastor's treatment only reinforces how not only hopeless he is, but how powerless he is over his own life. He can not back away from Alastor's grasp, and it makes him feel like he has no choice on how others treat him, especially with Angel Dust.
I wonder who's situation this remind me of?
But it makes sense that one person struggling with boundary issues is the one to hurt someone else struggling with boundary issues.
But when Husk opens up about his boundaries, it makes both parties feel better. Husk feels more in control of his life, having the ability to say no. Angel dust feels in control of his life as well, having the respect to not have to essentially sell himself to feel respected, as boundaries are in place to respect all involved.
Because he is willing to open up about his boundaries, it actually makes Husk feel more comfortable around Angel Dust, as he knows Angel's remarks will only be that of light hearted rather than sexualizing (to an uncomfortable degree). This is why Angel and Husk are able to become so close; as the trust formed between them allows them to open up to each other. This is a healthy relationship. Romantic or not, HuskerDust has really gone a long way for the best!
(reminder) Don't imagine yourself in my place!! This is a self-ship art, a personal one and it means alot to me!! (Every selfship art is personal and meaningful to me tbh.) Thank you 🙏 respectfully.
Gentle reminder to everyone that we have tagging listed in our boundaries as “n” for “no”! It makes us extremely anxious and uncomfortable.
This does include tagging us in tag games😅 I know it seems like a small thing that shouldn’t really be considered but almost none of us like tag games or the pressure to respond that comes with them.
We were considering changing it to “a” for “ask” but in all reality, we would say no 99% of the time.
The only exception to this is of course our wonderful lovely boyfriend @ravenwing0 [lovely]
Ok I have already noticed some wilful misinterpretations of Caramel 🤦. Of course it will come across slightly different to everyone, music always does. But there is an underlying message and some people need a crash course on the english language if they don't understand. I want to say this now before it gets out of hand. Caramel is about toxic fans; those that dig into the identities of the band members (specifically Vessel), the supposed "fans" DOXXING them online, the people hating on them for being "not metal enough" (like when did they say that's what they were going for, Sleep Token is a mix of all genres, they get called metal because many of the heavier parts of their songs would not be enjoyed by someone who doesn't have a taste for metal music).
It is NOT an excuse to hate on parts of the fandom you may find unappealing. This is not about the people who make fan edits with readily available concert clips and music videos. This is not about the people writing fanfiction (even explicit fics). As long as you are not sending these things directly to the band members then it is OK to enjoy and participate in these aspects of fandom. So yeah, leave the people who are having fun and minding their own business alone. If you don’t like the fandom, then don't be a part of the fandom, just enjoy the music and mind your own damn business. Maybe we do need to bring back a little bit of gatekeeping, because clearly this approach of letting everyone and anyone in unchecked is not working.
...Hello! As much as I'd like to not get into drama. I feel like a boundaries post is in order.
Hello, everyone! My name is Azriel and I am a POC creator!
Black, to be specific.
Uhm, I saw a post by @k3nnyb4by about a person in the community being quite discriminatory towards anyone with a darker complexion. I don't wish to speak or spread their account around. Not because I don't want you to block them, I just don't wish to give them publicly on my account. (I doubt they'd get it from me of all people, but still.)
It's the not cool kind of cringe and their account is like what you'd expect from a common grifter so don't be surprised when you see something stupid.
I jusssst wanted to say that my account is a safe space for like anyone with basic human decency regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
I don't however respect or allow any pedophiles, racists, fascists, homophobes, ableists, etc. Pretty much just anyone who does any harm to anyone on my platform.
I just want to post my creativity and share it with others, but I also want everyone to be aware that I'm not just going to turn a blind eye when people are hateful.
Racism in 2025 is crazy. Like...? Grow up. People exist. 😭
Anyway... next post is gonna be a positive one! I reworked on my characters a bit so I'm excited to share!!! :D
