TEN OF SWORDS

When I look back to Pax, he is dead, his mouth pulled into a quiet smile. Blood slithers along the stone, my own chest tightens and I fall to a knee sobbing, he had no last words he had no goodbye he threw himself upon me and was savaged, dead. Loyal Pax, I clutch his huge head, it hurts to see my titan fallen. He was meant for more, such a soft heart and such a hard foil, he will never laugh again, never stand on the bridge of a destroyer, never wear the cape of a knight or carry the scepter of an imperator, dead.

i just wanted to clarify some things

artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited.

saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed this line of reasoning, there would be no art on the internet. 

when an artist posts their work, they are trusting you to enjoy it respectfully. and when you betray that trust either knowingly or unknowingly, it’s like saying the artist’s time, skills and thoughts aren’t worth anything.

you are NOT entitled to an artists work just because they decided to trust you enough to share it with you.

an artist is within their right to feel upset that someone has used their work in a way they never intended it to be used. they are within their right to ask for it to stop and not happen again.

just because it’s “bound to happen” doesn’t mean it’s any less deplorable.

I’m having a rough day, in a rough week, in a rough month. Ya know? And I thought to myself, you know who is having a worse time than me? The main character of this book I’m reading. So I’m gonna read it and let him suffer way worse shit than me, so I can feel better about my own life.

Shout out to you Darrow, I can always count on you to be having a worse day than me

Who will you become?

[naeurisblog]

Yeah, yeah, Cassandra Clare got her start writing fanfic, old news.

Rebecca Thorne wrote She-Ra fanfic before writing Tomes & Tea.

Matt Dinniman wrote GI Joe and Transformers crossover fanfic before writing Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Pierce Brown wrote Greek Mythology fanfic before writing Red Rising.

Andy Weir wrote Ready Player One fanfic that later got canonized by Ernest Cline before writing The Martian.

Fanfic has never been, and will never be inferior to published works, and writing one does not discredit or devalue the quality of your work when writing another.
