#draw them

[jukeloxing]

Made some practice sheets of Gangle and Zooble to figure out how I'll draw them! I plan on cooking up some other art of them... Hehehe

[polarity-disturbed]

Whenever I see people complaining that a character is popular in fan art or fan fiction instead of their favourite, it always makes me a little sad.

I've had moments where I've thought, "Man, I wish there was more stuff for this character I like."

But where people lose me is when that frustration turns into resentment towards other fans who are making and sharing things about the character they love.

Nobody is receiving orders from the Ministry of Popular Characters. These are just people spending their free time drawing, writing, editing, creating, and sharing things because they care about them.

They're making art because they love something.

And I don't know. It feels strange to respond to that by trying to make them feel bad for it, or suggesting they should be spending their creative energy on a different character more "deserving" of attention.

Art isn't a public utility.

People draw or write the characters that are fun for them to draw or write.

The ones that make them happy.

Fandom isn’t a finite resource where attention has to be rationed out evenly like a budgeting exercise. It’s just people being excited about different things at different intensities at different times.

It seems a shame to look at someone else's joy and treat it like it's taking something away from yours, when it could just be another person loving the same hobby in a different direction.

i love the idea that ian finally understands he had been making mickey believe he wasn't loved enough for not singing the paper.

he goes to mickey showing a ring and mickey is hopeful but also wary of what is happening, then ian says it

i love ian, but darling, you can be a bit dumb (its okay you are learning)

what could have mickey possibly thought? that ian will marry him cause gallagher keep their promises? that's all to it? is it not because he supposedly loves him and genuinely wants that?

the look on mickey's face as he realises what ian said makes me think that it was the moment mickey fears were ''confirmed''. ian didn't love him enough, of course he wouldn't, why would he? ian bought the promise ring, yes, but he still wouldn't wear it but hang it on his neck where he can hide it, is mickey not it? and then mickey says it

he realises mickey had been thinking ian didn’t love him and that’s it, he tried many times. by coming out, being there during the whole diagnosis, being broken up with but still thinking of him and hoping to be together, thinking he will be with him in mexico and then getting himself back to prison so that he can be with him, support him through all that. but that was it. he didn't have it in him to fight for them anymore, he had the rights to finally put himself first and say ''that's enough''. ‘you don’t love me enough now, and that’s fine, it’s cool.’

but ian fucked up. he now knows that mickey believed he wasn't enough, he wasn't the right one for ian.

it didn't even cross his mind that it could have been a possibility, cause since the diagnosis, ian had been so sure that he wasn't worth of mickey and the pain that comes by being around him, loving him.

so ian thinks : how can you ever be so sure you love me? how can you even possibly be in love with me when i have such disorder that won't make it easy for you? what do you even see in me to think i'm worth all of that?

the only explaination ian can think of for someone like mickey to fight so hard for their relationship to work is that : he's either crazy or he never experienced any other type of relationship before.

cause ian has, ian has dated other people after mickey and none of them loved him. one cheated on him, gaslighting him that it was okay cause it was a chick and not a guy. the other made it a challange for ian to be attracted to him, didn't respect ian when it came to his trauma regarding monica, didn't really care about ian being off his meds, being more concerned that his mania was making him the star of the news and not what trevor really wanted. mickey had never done that, mickey had always been there for ian and he knows that— he knows that mickey is the one he loves and the one that will do anything for him. he broke up with him because he loved mickey too much and wanted him to be free.

being with those people made it impossible for ian to even pretend that mickey wasn't the one he loved and that loved him back.

but mickey? he never had a relationship other than the one with ian, so how could he know that ian is the one if he never dated anyone else? someone ‘normal’, someone that wouldn’t make him worry and watch for his mood swings?

ian is telling mickey that he has a choice to do better— he’s telling him that out there, there’s someone that won’t hurt him, that won’t make mickey think they’re not in love enough to take the big step with him. cause ian knows mickey is everything— but how could mickey know that ian is that for him too?

i love how mickey’s expression changes as ian speaks. it's the moment it hits him that ian loves mickey enough, he loves him too much so that he questions himself just as much, deciding for both of them (once again) what mickey needs and who he shouldn't be with.

and i love that mickey finally understands everything, he understands why ian broke up with him in s5 and tried to move on and pretend mickey wasn’t what he wanted. mickey's first reaction is just to shake his head and say ''jesus christ, ian.''

and ian looks so confused, he might be thinking : what did i say wrong? i know i am right, you know that this is true. i'm a problem, i'm not worth it, can't you see? but that's mickey’s limit, it was ian’s moment to work on his not worthy of your love shit and realise that it’s all bullshit cause mickey is all in for them. he always has been no matter what.

and mickey knows so well that he can't do anything else to prove it to ian. he straight up tells him the answer to lip's ''figure out why you don't wanna marry him.'' 'cause he doesn't believe he's worth it. but mickey has proved him enough, mickey has told him what's ian true fear is and its not mickey's love for him that will fix it. it was ian's job to work through with it (and he did!! of course he did) back when this episode came out, i was so angry and frustrated about it, i guess growing up makes you see things differently uh?

Shadow info block

Background

Shadow is the last and most successful of Gerald robotnik’s tests to integrate the DNA of an ascended god with that of other species (Gerald’s sample of choice being from the god of chaos). Shadow is the 19th experiment to be conducted and the 4th to be considered “complete.” He and his “siblings” were for the most part kept separate due to the strange happenings that occur when more than two of them are in the same room. Shadow was considered the most docile of the experiments and was often allowed to roam freely upon the moving continent class research vessel “ark to a new dawn”(ark for short) which he, his creator, siblings, and others lived upon. Before the ark’s crash, that resulted in him and his siblings living in the Mobius Kingdom, 4 more experiments were conducted, each resulting in a “complete” life form. Shadow and his “siblings” each wore “suppression suits” Wich ranged from rings worn around the arms and legs to full body suits that regulated the chaotic energy stored within their body’s. The Ark crashed in a larger but relatively remote and unexplored island within the kingdoms territory. Many of the crew members including Gerald and other more unsuccessful experiments died in the crash. Only 35% of the Arks crew, along with shadow and 10 of his siblings survived and started to inhabit the island.

Description

Shadow is a black hedgehog with red and orange stripes along his quills, arms and legs. Lean with obvious muscle he is capable of easily taking a life or saving one if necessary. Shadow wears a singlet with red and orange lines on its boarders, that occasionally pulse as it regulates the chaos energy within him, underneath a scavenged Sabaton t-shirt and biker jacket. He wears tattered red, orange, and black camo cargo pants, and hover shoes. On his arms he wears gold rings and gloves with spikes studded on the knuckles. His left ear is torn near the top and he has many scars along his right arm.
