#i just felt a little guilty because i had actively engaged with gingers posts and content for so long

Hey, I just wanted to address something really quick. I found out today that ginger-Le-gay had deactivated and in my search to find out why, I realised that she had done some not so great things and started some not so great movements in the fandom that caused a lot of people to leave and hurt a lot of people.

I’m not here to preach anything or give my opinion on that situation, it is not my place to do so. I just wanted to let you guys know where I stand;

I don’t support any of the things Ginger did, yes I took a commission from her - this was before I knew and I’m a small artist, at the time it was huge for me to get a commission like that. A boy’s gotta pay the bills 😅 I have also left her discord server.

I also did not realise the history behind the “Merlin Hate Train”. I thought it was just a fun little joke about a character that was disliked in the fandom, not something that sparked legitimate hate and toxicity towards other fandom members. I will refrain from using this phrase in future.

Yes I joke often about hating Merlin, however I do not hate him as a character. I dislike his actions and the way he behaves, but his character arc and development is good and I can understand his motivations. I also do not hate those who like him, that would be rude and wrong - everyone has their own opinion, and everyone has their favourite characters. We should all respect that!

Tales Of Arcadia is a brilliant show and deserves more love and attention, I want to highlight the amazing parts of our fandom here on my blog. So, if I ever unknowingly reblog something hurtful etc please do not be afraid to call me out on it. I will actively do my own research too, but if something slips through or I do something please tell me. I genuinely am here to enjoy one of my favourite medias and share that love with others.

I hope you are all well, Thankyou to those who took the time to read this 💕
