THATS A SUPER GOOD THING IT MEANS THEYRE REALLY INTO YOU. AH GOOD LUCK I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT

sorry i just saw this but!! ahhh thank you!! i survived 3 interviews and the last one the director decided not to keep me waiting for HR to hear the official news and dropped the ball that they’re flying me out before the interview finished so i’m cautiously but very super extremely hopeful. 

he also gave me tips on how to nail the onsite so at the very least top management likes me, i just have to fit in with the team i think.

like GEEZE he is photogenic as heck!

He’s not the first betta I’ve had but he’s the most Runway one I’ve had~ The Pontiff stays still for a few seconds and makes mini-flares when i have my phone camera so he’s fun to take pictures for. i think he knows he’s pretty haha

Beauty fish ♡  Also you have a bird? xD I heard it in the background

he’s getting prettier by the day ^_^ And i do! two of them actually, little tiels! they are much more difficult to take pictures for because they don’t like to sit still when they see me with a camera... half the time they come out like blurry cryptid photos. Sulyvahn bullied them the first day by scaring them with an angerey flare so they are very far away from the tank right now.

screw thiose assholes

seriously!!! I’d forgotten how RUDE some people could be since for the most part everyone’s just been really amazing. but looking back I always got some variation of these same kind of messages with nearly every fic like:

“I want to see you ship x&y and include character Z and then character Z will do this thing and then the plot will end up like that.” (3 chapters later) “ok well i guess i like your idea but i still think you should include character Z and not ship the two characters you’re shipping and ship the one I like instead” 

^^^^ and this was exactly why I used to tell people (when i was writing. BC. in the heyday) I don’t want to hear story predictions, because some people made story predictions whereas others took it as an invitation to push their ideas onto me. It’s so fucking obnoxious. 

It settled down for a while, and then i forgot how bad this could get, and then it kind of reared its head back around when i was writing Demonbound because “does??? sheik have a dick??? i don’t want to read if SHE does because that’s gay and gay ships aren’t realistic”

then it settled down again when the trash took itself out BUT THEN. IT CAME BACK. 

GO WRITE YOUR OWN GODDAMN FIC YOU ENTITLED WHINY ASSHOLES

someone played batle network…

Never played it, but I’m familiar with it! (kind of). There was a period in my life where I was very much into MM. I wanted to avoid the name ‘Navi’ for that very reason, but since it fit with the OoT fairy guide Navi and it’s short for ‘navigator’, I couldn’t really pass up the opportunity. ^^ (plus some in-story jokes that relate to real fairy Navi)

no no no I get this and I’m trying to understand this too. It’s interesting. I think just sticking with the “I don’t like people saying my pride and joy/my OC is about them when it was actually about me” idea is what we as artists have, and why the ‘kin’ tagging can be uncomfortable. Because it feels like art/idea theft on a level that we didn’t even know could occur. It’s like they’re taking the very CONCEPT of something that you toiled with, and saying that it was them

“feels like art/idea theft on a level that we didn’t even know could occur” <----i think that pretty much nails the reason for artist discomfort. I don’t want to say “art theft”, really, since to me art theft is when you say you drew something when you actually didn’t (but idea theft? maybe??? i’m hesitant to say that’s what’s actually happening, but artists perceiving it as the case -> i can’t really fault them for that either)

From my understanding (again, not kin so I’m not sure if I’m saying this right. welcoming corrections), some folks are confused because their intention isn’t to ‘take’ the concept or idea and they do understand that the artist owns the concept of the character; they just want to acknowledge that the concept is them for their own comfort/coping/etc.etc none of which is the artist’s business. 

Now what I’m left wondering is, what’s true? On an admittedly arbitrary scale that’s heavily flawed and biased by my own views, I’d say that if it’s something from a big, well established franchise, it’s not idea theft since it’s just like fanfic/fanart in that regard (or even fanfic of fanfic or fanart of fanfic, or fanfic of fanart... you get the idea). But it... feels just a tad like idea theft if it’s from a nonestablished artist/author? Maybe the difference with that is that small-time artists don’t really view their own art as something that’s created for the sole purpose of public consumption. IDK i’m just starting to bs now don’t mind me.

I think we need the important distinction that “Me!” is like saying “I relate to this and I’ve done it before” to “kin” which is “This is literally me or a different version of it’s kinda like drawing a previous life portrait” and there’s why people don’t say “don’t tag as ‘me’”

Except... there are plenty of people who would get up in arms about seeing someone who is public about their kin status tagging something as “me” while they wouldn’t have done so if the same was tagged by nonkin. I think a distinction would be lovely but I can’t comfortably say that it exists for some people rn and they fudge it around for their own convenience.  I was just saying that it’s not so easy to talk about this distinction when there’s already an almost kneejerk reaction by nonkin who don’t understand why some otherkin might get upset about the perceived motive behind requests not to tag as kin, and how this in turn might lead to an equally unhealthy fingerpointing at artists who simply want to protect their intellectual property. 

btw i am not kin. I’m just trying to figure out and articulate for my own benefit why people from both ‘sides’ (and i hate this word, ‘sides’, because there really isn’t an us vs. them but i don’t have a better word for it) are getting upset at each other (because, over the last month, i’ve seen increasingly angrier posts from kin and nonkin alike about ‘why people are so shitty’).
