(disclaimer: this is probably going to be a little controversial, as I am talking about things like kinning and things similar, note that I am not talking about these in a bad way. this is lowkey just to get my thoughts out of my head lol.)
Is it bad that I lowk don't want ppl to see my twotime and azure as like, the same as canon azure and twotime? I feel like we group together the different versions of characters as if they are just the original characters. Yes, my version of twotime and azure are still those characters, but they are specifically my versions of those characters.
I feel like this is mostly stemming from my anxiety about people who kin or see themselves as the characters. I have nothing against people who see themselves as TwoTime or Azure, hell, I kind of consider myself both of them. But seeing how real people see these characters as themselves makes me feel very paranoid about what I post sometimes.
People have boundaries, and I wouldn't want to post something that would make someone uncomfortable, but at the same time-- these are my personal interpretations of these characters.
I also feel like the reason so many people will kin or consider themselves a character is mostly because of self projection. You find a character you relate to a lot and then you fill in the blanks with things from your life.
I have nothing against this, in fact I find it quite fascinating and relatable in some ways. I just want people here to know the my versions of Azuretime are very personal to me, and although I don't disconnect them from the original characters and I'm completely fine if my interpretation is adopted by someone else or is used as inspiration. I want to make it clear that my Azuretime have their own separate identities from the canon ones, and would be better off considered an au version of them.
Why I'm making this post? because I want to make it clear that I am drawing and writing those characters as extensions of myself, the people I've met, my fears, and my experiences. No one else's.
Woah, that was a rant. Anyway, expect the full forsaken "the crayon song gets ruined by twotime" to come out soon.
