I like thinking Father as a yandere. We can have a fantasy of him while also still acknowledging he’s a piece of shit

I'm sorry, but if you thought, because of my previous posts or drawings, that this is a pro-Father blog in any way, shape or form, you can yap to, you got the WRONG idea.

Me saying he is interesting to write and that people can like him as a VILLAIN doesn't mean "sure come to me with your fantasies and weird crushings on him".

I acutally find it creepy.

A yandere is a type of Japanese "trait" where someone is very violent but out of love, jealousy and obsession, often associated with young girls. Two things:

1) saying that you are actually saying "I don't believe Father is truly evil" because the BASE for yandere is a sick form of LOVE. You are justifying him. This goes against EVERYTHING my latest post said, and is trying to REDEEM him or paint him as someone who CARES. Which, again, is something that goes against his character.

I am all for writing him realizing his mistakes, but this does NOT equal redemption, forgiveness or love. It's just an interesting POV.

2) Yandere, like tsundere, himedere etc, are kind of sexualizations in our modern age. Maybe this is not the case for you, but they are.

You are fantasising about something that makes you happy, gives you gratification and YOU KNOW is wrong. And you called it fantasy yourself.

Just slapping a "but he is evil" here and there after 2000 compliments doesn't sell it.

Am I saying you're a bad person? No. I think you are young and will understand.

Am I saying you can come to me with this stuff? ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is not a pro-Father blog. That man disgusts me.

Then why did you write that post? You don't need to love a character to write about them. Actually, you can hate a character and find it interesting for their evilness.

There's a difference.

I hope with time it becomes clearer.

End of discussion.

Hi! I hope you answer but if you don't it's ok! Question! Are you going to do DHMIS content again or you'll leave that behind? Anyway I love your art and comics!! Keep up the good work!!

The longer answer is: While being in the DHMIS fandom and making art for it was a fun time for me, the last time I drew anything involving it was... Freshman year of college. I've graduated since then. I've moved onto other interests, and don't intend to return to something that no longer makes me happy.

When I draw fanart, it's because I'm excited about something, and want to express that excitement and appreciation for it through artwork.

Nowadays, most of the energy I have for fanart has been going towards Welcome Home and the D&D characters/sessions that me and my friends play with one another.

Though I'd like to personally thank you for being polite with your question. (The following screenshot is a more recent example, but others have been... A lot more rude about me not drawing DHMIS anymore.)

(And that's just one of the examples I'm willing to share. Others have used much cruder language.)

People in the past have been very persistent about me wanting to return to making DHMIS content, even though that's... not what I want to draw anymore. It happened often enough that it killed any remaining excitement for the new DHMIS episodes that came out about two years ago.

But, all that aside- thank you for sticking around! I'm glad you enjoy the art I make. Just telling me that you like my stuff inspires me to keep making the things I love, seeing that others are also enjoying what I create.

I intend to keep up with offering and making art commissions, as well as create fanart for the things I enjoy. Though I also hope to be able to create more original stuff as well. (Maybe someday I'll even finally get back to making that webcomic lol, once I finally figure out how to make a solid plot that I'm happy with.)

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely rest of your day, as well as anyone else reading this.

(This part goes for anyone who interacts)

And I do want you to know, I’m not being serious when I point out grammar errors, I know it’s hard, and English is a stupid language, and has doubly stupid grammar rules, and I promise no hard feelings were implied, and (this goes for anything I post) I will delete anything that the op or the person I reblogged is uncomfortable with what I added or if they don’t want me to share it, I will tag triggers if someone asks me (please do, I am more than willing to, I want to make what I do as accessible as I can), and most importantly, the vast majority of this blog is not serious. If I call out your error, or call you a dumbass, or in any way say anything that hurts you, tell me, because I didn’t want to in my post and I don’t want to in the future.

On a similar vein, if someone on the web version of tumblr with the shinigami eyes plugin sees that I rebloged someone that’s red (I can’t see them cause I’m on iPhone) (thanks @blueengland (I think it’s you sorry if not), you’re the best), or someone that you know is a pedo/map, anti-abortion, a trans/aro/ace/homo/intersex phobe/exclusionist, racist, sexist, rape/abuse supporter/devaluer (I can’t remember the right word sorry), or is otherwise a generally bad person to be around, please, PLEASE tell me. If you don’t want to reblog/reply, my dms are open and so is my askbox (just say that you don’t want me to post it and I won’t), I don’t want those kind of people here, I want this space to be as welcoming as possible, and those people don’t want that, and as such they aren’t welcome here.

Just remember, I am ALWAYS willing to become a better person, and I’m willing to change, but I have autism (I’m not diagnosed, but I’m pretty damn sure), I have trouble seeing/conveying tone and subtext, and I most likely won’t notice unless you tell me. So please, please, please tell me.

So I was thinking about the whole “misogyny behind the supposed lack of interest in teenage girl Powerpuffs” statement you made and something hit me: the reason why the reboots suck is because they’re trying to squeeze edgy, Cinemasins-style teenage and adult situations and humor out of perpetually five year old girls and it makes me so mad that Craig said that because teenage girls ALREADY think that their lives end once they have boobies or are interested in girly hobbies and it would be so subversive to have a show that continues off of the “GIRLS CAN BE ANYTHING.” message of the original with “TEENAGE GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING. THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE MEN LITE TO BE HEROES.” but instead, we get like five reboots of various levels of quality, all because he thinks teenage girls have cooties or whatever.

Oh yeah, what I said on this post! I could have given you a short answer like a normal blogger, but here is my long, rambling answer where I basically agree and get a little off track and go more in detail about the suckiness of the reboots/the suckiness of saying the girls aren't special if they're older... behind the cut. 🤣

“Teenage girls ALREADY think that their lives end once they have boobies or are interested in girly hobbies.” It's definitely not an inherent thought by any means, but I totally know what you're saying. Society and culture and the media and the internet push girls into thinking they have to become a certain kind of "mature" by a certain age and it's awful. And to say that the girls wouldn’t be “special” if they were older felt as if it was reinforcing the whole gross notion that women allegedly turn into completely different creatures at puberty and from there on out rapidly lose their worth/usefulness as they get older. To say that the girls wouldn’t or couldn’t be “special” when they grow up… yeah, the wording was pretty yikes.

I guess I should quickly clarify that I prefer Craig doing what he does best, and I'm perfectly fine with the girls continuing to be kindergarteners if the show gets rebooted or continued. And he hasn't been involved with the series since 2008, so he's not responsible for any of the content in the reboots that have already happened. I don’t believe he’s some raging sexist (…well, I hope not) either, it’s just that the way he’s said some of the things he’s said concerning this topic are kinda… ugh. Poorly communicated. It's frustrating sometimes! 😩

I get what Craig was trying to say: having the girls be ass-kicking kindergarteners is a fun and unique premise (true, and I love them that way, it's OG, baby!), and having them be teenagers or adults… well, there are already a lot of ass-kicking superheroines who are teenagers/adults. But that's such a limited view of who the girls really are. Their being kindergarteners isn’t the only thing that makes them unique compared to other superheroes/hero teams. They’re three sisters (essentially triplets) with a creator who acts as their single-parent father figure (so they have a loving and stable family life), and each one of them has distinct personalities and talents. They’re fully fleshed-out characters on their own, but they’re also incomplete if they aren’t together. How many other superheroes or superheroines are like that?

Regarding the comment he made about their “kryptonite,” I definitely think that an interesting setback (and strength!) of theirs– regardless of them being in kindergarten– is that none of the girls have alter egos, so they can never just have “normal” lives. At least Clark Kent and Diana Prince could maybe pretend to be regular people once in a while. Blossom and Bubbles and Buttercup can’t! No matter how old they become, the girls will always have to deal with their “real world” responsibilities in tandem with their “superhero” responsibilities because they don’t have to hide anything about their powers from the world. Other superheroes’ lives would end if their “normal” identity was exposed: theirs wouldn’t. And then again, no matter what unique responsibilities they’d be facing, no matter their stage in life, they’d continue to have to deal with the positives and negatives of that kind of existence, and, like I've discussed on here before, I think there are soooo many stories that could potentially be explored stemming from that. So... like... come on. Not special, my foot! It's not like their adventures would all of a sudden end or could never be just as unique as they've always been!

In the case of making a story with the girls being older, yeah, that doesn’t automatically mean you need to stuff your show with edgy, "adult" humor. You barely even have to change how they talk. They don’t have to talk about sex or comment on the latest pop culture thing to be “mature.” They don’t have to get all serious and gritty to be “mature.” Those are the kinds of things people in Hollywood think maturity is (does a certain someone who's also in Hollywood believe that, too? 👀). The problem is in the writing, in misunderstanding what the show is and who the characters are in the first place, how they deal with life to begin with, and so far it seems that the right storytellers who could tell really cool stories in that sort of setting who do understand all that haven’t come along yet.

Also, a thing that I feel is critical to getting the tone of the girls as characters right is that they exist in a universe that, while it may have exciting action and fighting and carnage, is still a very silly place. The goofiness of that universe comes with a very specific tone that has not been well replicated in these other iterations of the series. The balance of the girls' “normal” and “superhero” lives is always off-kilter (and I’m gonna be controversial… I think the live-action script didn't hit the mark but was a billion times closer to getting that balance than the 2016 reboot), and the type of humor that gets used is way off in tone (PPG humor ≠ twerking/Simpsons humor/lazy pop culture jokes/sex jokes). Plus, that small but critical dose of sincerity in the writing of the original show barely ever feels like it’s present in any of these newer iterations.

...but what do I know, I dunno, do I even get the characters? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's just how I feel about it all. Sorry for all these words, haha.

if you run a kink/fetish blog you really shouldnt be putting stuff in the main tags. the main tags are not an 18+ space, theyre for minors and adults alike, and kink stuff doesnt belong there. i havent reported you yet because i want to give you a chance to reflect and change your behavior, but if i keep seeing you in the main/character tags, i will flag the posts and your blog as sensetive content. as someone who was affected by seeing a lot of fetish stuff at a young age bc of irresponsible fandoms, im very passionate about this topic. i dont care if you publish this or not.

I was never aware that the tags apparently are "age managed." Plenty of people do things of this nature without having to worry about stuff like this. I also was not (and am not) aware of what "main tags" are. So I sincerely do not know what you are referring to, specifically. And if you wish to call me out and claim I'm playing dumb...no, I'm not playing, I sincerely have no clue. I honestly have never seen any reason or known of any reason to monitor my tags, so I have not done so for that reason above all else. IF, from the way you're speaking, this is some sort of unspoken rule on Tumblr, or if I perhaps missed something way, way back when I joined the site, then I apologize and I am perfectly willing to "change my behavior," as you put it, because the last thing I want is to scar young innocent people for life, the way you claim happened to you. However, having said that, I would like to say two more things. One, there is no reason to threaten me with reporting like this. One other person came to me some time ago to tell me that, evidently, the "g/t" tag is one that is meant for all ages, so I shouldn't use it. I thanked them, apologized, and I no longer use that tag. They, in turn, thanked me, apologized in case they seemed rude, and then moved on with their life. Like I said, I am totally willing to change my practices if that is something that HAS to happen; I do not like breaking the rules. But your rudeness is not appreciated, by seemingly assuming that I am doing this maliciously. A simple "you shouldn't use these specific tags" would have been well and good, then I'd know to either change how I manage that matter, or stop wielding them altogether. Two, and most importantly...if this stuff offends you and bothers you so much, then you have no reason to look at my page. And I do not believe my little kink blog is some blight upon whatever taglines you're referring to; if by "main tags" you're referring to things like my more analytical pieces that have nothing to do with kinks, there's not much I can do there, especially since those AREN'T kink-based. As far as I can perceive, those are doing no harm. If by "main tags" you're referring to character names or whatever...I can search a character name and find tons upon tons of stuff that has nothing to do with kinks long before I run into anything related to my interests. I know, I've tried. My work and others doesn't really pop up too often, UNLESS I'm specifically looking for the kink in conjunction. Also, I should think that anyone reading it will realize it's not for them and turn away.

I appreciate your concern, and I understand it...but do not dictate things like this to me as if you run the website, or have the right to decide what people will or will not post. If you would care to discuss this in a civil and polite manner, please feel free to contact me via PM, so we can engage in such discourse. Until then, I will continue to tag things the way I always have, not because I am trying to hurt anyone, but because it simply the most obvious way I know how. If that bothers you so much, then tell me how to fix it, don't simply say "stop it or I'll report you" when I'm not even really sure what I'm doing wrong. There are many others like me. We are not animals. We are not monsters. And we are not out to hurt anyone. We just want to write our silly, kinky nonsense and keep to ourselves. Do not engage in witch hunts as if we are some hideous plague upon the universe. Most of us are just lonely geeks who want a place to express our darker side. Thank you.
