Stand in Solidarity!
As the ongoing genocide rages in Palestine, us Australians must not forget what this country was built upon.
Just as Israel is built on the stolen land and graves of the Palestinians, so too is Australia built on the stolen land and graves of the First Nations.
There is nothing to celebrate for in genocide.
Here is a list of Invasion Day Rallies. Please march in solidarity with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Peoples this Friday.

I'm sure Good Omens is a decent show but i wish the Azicrow shippers could understand that running up to artists and telling them how their lesbian artwork reminds them of two men is very strange!

Leviathan's Reaction to MC being an Illustrator of Ruri-Chan
Levi: *Walks in* Hey, MC. I just wanted to-
MC: *Hunched over his tablet in a blanket, full shrimp position with cans of Monster by their desk. Room a mess, clearly haven't slept in days.* What...?
Levi: Uhmm... what are you doing?
MC: My commissions. What do you want?
Levi: Is that... Ruri-Chan? Are you drawing Ruri!? Why is it exactly like the official art of Ruri-Chan: The World Powered by the Seeds of Friendship!?
MC: I.. work at the Animation studio. You didn't know?
Levi: Wait! Are you... The legendary MiyoScene? The illustrator who made the exclusive Ruri-Chan VIP only member's Dakimakura!? That I bought!? And you said NOTHING!?
MC: *Stares blankly* It's not a big deal
Levi: No! Please! Because I've always to talk to MiyoScene! How long have you been working there? Your secrets to illustrating? Character designing for the new season?
Leviathan proceeds to ramble on and question MC about their job. Geeking out over their work and illustrations for at least three hours.

Ayo Sidebar for the Writers
Am I the only one that genuinely feels really really bad for that person on here who hand draws those really really nice portraits of Miguel??
EDIT: THEY'RE DIGITAL WHICH IS ALSO INSANE BECAUSE THEIR ART STYLE GOES SO HARD EXCUSE ME
Because the amount of writers in this fandom that are comfortable with just taking and cropping their art for their fics is deadass disrespectful as hell.
Like.. it's everyday. Multiple people do it. You know the artist I'm talking about. Like -
Very bold of y'all. Stealing art then posting it in the SAME TAG as the artist like they wouldn't see it.
That takes a lot of nerve.
Some are y'all are cheeky and put it at the very end - some of y'all just don't fucking care.
'the signature is in the photo so-'
Okay but thank them. Tag them and shout them out and thank them. Thank them for making art that is bringing in readers.
Go ahead and thank them.
But you can't. Y'all won't. Cause you know they don't want you using their stuff without asking first.
Posting someone else's art with credit but without consent is already one thing. But y'all don't even care about credit.
But let someone take y'all writing and you'd be kicking off, rightfully so.
I feel real bad for that artist because their work is stunning and top tier and they're amazing talented.
Yet there's some ppl that be like -
'thanks!' *likes, doesn't reblog, crops their signature out and uses it without consent*
????????????
Like.. having uncredited art at the top of your fic doesn't make it look prettier or more inviting to me.
In fact it makes me wanna read it less. I try and check profile pictures so I remember who to avoid in the future.
Like every time I see it I'm like
Uuhh uuuum okay yeah -
Why should I respect your art when you clearly don't respect someone else's?
I'll open the fic and scroll to the bottom knowing they didn't give credit. Or they put it in tiny font.
That artist deserves better. A lot of artists in this fandom deserve better. Y'all do it to Miguel artists. Y'all do it to Hobie artists.
Not cool. Not cool. Lame. Boooo booooooooooo Me and Hobie shouting BOOOO!!
Writers, Artists are protective of their art too!
Not nice working 10+ hours on art just to see it on the post of a complete stranger with no credit or attempt to contact you for consent.
If you do this - you can change. Doing this may in fact be HURTING your numbers but driving people away. But the point is not the notes but respecting other people. If you do this, please stop. Credit them at the top if anything - some artists don't even want that.
Credit them AT THE TOP - not at the bottom. Everybody who scrolls by sees the art. The credit shouldn't be saved for the people who actually read the whole fic.
If you defend this - KICK ROCKS!!!!

Minor pet peeve is when there's a piece of art (or even a meme) that evokes a negative feeling and ppl feel the need to make a "positive" edit/sequel/whatever like maybe negative feelings are okay sometimes. Maybe we can express feelings of despair and anger and loneliness and even self-destructiveness through art and we don't always need to turn it into an "everything will be okay tho :)" message just because those feelings aren't nice to have. Like maybe that's the point, dipshit. We all feel bad sometimes, we all get the ugly emotions, and art lets us feel it together and make meaning out of it. I get that the intentions are well-meaning, but it's irritating as fuck.
