I love fandom merch but I dont really like the obvious fandom merch (cos I'm not really a statement person as it is, not because I think it's bad) so for ages I have been wanting something lowkey Stargate related. So when I found @stargatelov3r's ko-fi selling these stargate themed bracelets I thought they were sooo cute and absolutely had to get one
There were lots of colours to choose from but i ended up going with the purple. I just think it's such a nice subtle piece of stargate appreciation and it makes me well happy to see it throughout the day.
Here is the link to their post about it
And here is the link to their kofi shop!

Tbh!!! I don't understand the inherent strong hatred for DMC2!!! Everyone who worked on it did the best they could after they kicked Kamiya off and Itsuno did his best to fix everything up as well as he could! Especially considering the game was made by people who never created a console game before, and had only made arcade games. With all of the stuff that went on in the background, and having the previous director who HATED Dante's character try to change so much, they honestly did the best they could to make an enjoyable game that still resembled Dante. For everything that went on, it's not NEARLY as bad as it could have been. Is it the best? No. But I definitely wouldn't call it the worst. Considering everything, I think it turned out okay.
Yeah exactly!! I'm not trying to say it's a great game, I'm just saying it's still a pretty enjoyable game and it's not as bad as people say it is.
Everyone only says that bc they only went through the combat with just their guns. The combat IS clunky, yes, but it's playable. I actually uncovered some cool combat mechanics yesterday that wasn't documented in the game as far as I know, it's clear that the people who did work on the game wanted to make something cool, but they just weren't given enough time and leadership (?) to make it good.
It's fine if people think dmc2 is boring and uninteresting, not everyone has the same patience as i do to sit through an unpolished game just because they like the main character, I get that, but I just wish people actually gave it a chance or even just respected the game for what it is.

Post about art-theft, AI and tracing of my render:
Unfortunately, one of my renders I made a year ago, was traced, copied, edited by AI by "brothers in arms" store and now sold as a merch aimed towards CoD fandom.
They are currently sending this out to various cosplayers asking them to promote it.
As someone who is affected by this, I have to speak up about it.
(post about it on twt & insta)
I found out about it by accident when I saw promoted post on my insta feed. When I started talking about it in my stories, this store sent me a private message saying they had been working on this design for weeks and had never heard of me so they definitely didn't steal anything, and offered me free stuff.
When I disagreed with them and sent them files comparing our works, they stopped replying to me, so I continued talking about it again on my insta. Only when my followers started leaving comments under their post saying this is wrong, they decided to continue discussion on the next day.
2. They mentioned that they could have been inspired by some pictures they found on the internet and showed me their "first sketch" of design… which was made by AI.
3. During the conversation, they mentioned that their artist could have based his work on a picture he found on the Internet, but he defended himself by saying that they might not have known it was mine. But even if they didn't know about me, even if they found some fanart on the Internet - it doesn't mean you can copy something detail by detail and sell it as your own.
What is most important here, their offer to solve the problem was to give me credits in their design. IF they worked hard on it, why would they want to give me credits? My offer was to remove it.
4. Why do I mention that it could have been done by AI? because many lines are unfinished and a lot of details don't make sense.
5. Below is a comparison of my render that I published on March 18, 2023 with their first sketch they showed me, which apparently they drew themselves:
I am saying this so that the CoD community, which is very large, will be aware of this, because there are many people who have already bought it and after my insta story, they felt bad and said they want return it because they don't want to support art theft.
It's not just about me anymore - it could have happened to anyone who creates fanart and share it on the Internet just for fun. One day someone may use it for their own profit without us being aware of it.
It doesn't matter if it's a 3D render or a drawing.
All artists in this (or any other) fandom do not deserve to experience such thing, and we need to speak out about it to prevent it from happening in the future.
Reposting fanart is, as this example shows, dangerous and hurtful, so please respect artists and don’t do this. Especially on pinterest.
Their only proposal and offer to give me credits for the work they traced is something I will never agree to.
