draw his eyes correctly. differentiate the style u use for his eyes and the white people u draw.

do not whitewash his skin. he is visibly tan. obviously it depends on the lighting but he is never White™ and you shouldn't draw him as one either.

choose good reference photos. use a few to get the best color palette u possibly can.

do NOT make his skin yellow. yellow skin is offensive to asian especially east asian people. just don't. not even for an anime or comics.

remember that you can never use hving a "style" as an excuse for whitewashing poc.

with love,

I think we all knew this was coming and coming soon.

Hello hello, I am not dead!!

Popping in to post these two commissioned comic pages of @leahslightlytotheleft‘s s/i with her f/o Sal from Sally Face, using the lyrics of the song “Walk Me Home” by P!nk. I don’t normally take comic commissions, but this was a special case, and super fun to do!

Hello everyone! One year ago today, we launched the UA Collab project with the goal of creating a collab video that would feature the works of many different artists, and one that would be a way to celebrate our memories of Unus Annus.

We are proud to announce that we now have a premiere date for that collab video….

The Unus Annus Collab Project will be premiering on our youtube channel on Saturday March 27th, at 7pm est.

For those of you new to hearing about this project, this collab video will feature the works of 365 artists, with a piece of fanart inspired by all 365 videos that were on the Unus Annus channel. The video will also feature music from various creators in the community as well!

A lot of effort has gone into making this project into a reality, and we extend our thanks to the participants of this collab, along with those in the UA community who have supported us and followed this project’s progress along the way. Thank you very much for all you guys have done, as we literally couldn’t have accomplished this without all your support. 

We can’t wait for you guys to see the final result, and we hope to see you at the premiere on the 27th! Signal boosts and spreading the word is greatly appreciated, and keep an eye out for other premiere “invites” from our participants as well! :)

Hey everyone, I’m writing a John Wick fanfic because I’m hyperfixating HARD. (RIP)

This fic is basically going to be a coffee shop au without the au and also if a coffee shop au was an action movie.

I felt so guilty for enjoying content that ended up triggering others to the point I had a breakdown last night. Because I have been on the receiving end of this situation before. When I found myself intensely triggered by Mark’s rage game playthroughs, people who found the rage funny told me to “calm down” or “don’t watch if you know it’s going to trigger you.”

That’s the thing. I didn’t KNOW I would be triggered because there were no trigger warnings. This is not just a Mark thing - the internet is often unsafe for neurodivergent people. As someone loves immersive storytelling and content that plays with my perception, I didn’t know others could find the current content triggering.

To people that struggle with psychosis or derealization/people who are upset: You are rightfully so. How you feel is valid and you should always have the right to express grievances without backlash or people telling you to “get over it.” Never let anyone tell you differently. Please consider blacklisting/filtering the tags regarding Mark’s current content or Mark in general if you feel the need. Mark is real and you are real. Please take care of yourself.

To people who do not struggle with psychosis or derealization/are excited for Mark’s new project: You’re allowed to be excited, make memes, laugh about the videos, and theorize. But NEVER invalidate or belittle people for how they feel. I thought this community was better than that and I have been proven wrong. Please tag your posts appropriately with the possible triggers. Please do not involve people who have expressed discomfort with the content. I haven’t joined the markiplier community for that long, but I have heard horror stories of cult-like behavior affecting random people outside the fandom. Please keep this within the community - ESPECIALLY since this particular content can adversely affect mental health. Mark may put out the content but the community becomes responsible for how we respond to it.

Who: Main character(s)

Why: Character goal or desire (stated)

Why: Character need (implied)

When: Inciting Incident

What: Means (that achieves the goal/need)

Where: Place A >> Place B

How: The Plan

Obstacle(s): antagonist or challenge

For example:

Who: Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit of Hobbiton

Why: Adventure, self-respect (implied)

When: After supper

What: Quest

Where: Hobbiton >> The Lonely Mountain

How: A company of dwarves, a wizard, and an ancient map and key

Main antagonist(s): a dragon

Thus, in less than 100 words:

Bilbo Baggins is a respectable hobbit in Hobbiton, never making any trouble or having any adventures. But when a wizard and a company of dwarves invite themselves to dinner, Bilbo finds himself joining their quest from the shires of Hobbiton to the legendary Lonely Mountain, the home of a long lost treasure, and quite, possibly, a dragon.

Fanfiction is fiction.

Fictional people are not real.

Fictional people do not have rights.

Fictional people cannot be abused.

Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.

If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.

Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.

If you don’t trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.

Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.

You often don’t know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.

AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.

Just because you don’t like something or find it offensive doesn’t mean it is a “problem” that “has to be dealt with”.

Most characters in anime are not white.

There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.

Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.

Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.

Ship wars are stupid.

Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.

Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.

Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.

Don’t hassle IP creators.

Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.

Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.

No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.

Being kind rarely fails to pay off.

It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don’t have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).

Britpicking is a good thing.

You don’t have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don’t have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you’re batting a losing wicket.

I’m not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are ❤️)

Under the AO3 Terms Of Service, offensive and repugnant content is not forbidden from being published to the site (so long as it’s not actively illegal or encouraging violence on real people), will not be removed and cannot be the object of an abuse complaint — but harassment is and will be.

I. Offensive Content Policy

As provided in part I.E.3 of the Terms of Service, the OTW is not liable to you for any Content to which you are exposed on or because of the Service.

Unless it violates some other policy, we will not remove Content for offensiveness, no matter how awful, repugnant, or badly spelled we may personally find that Content to be.

If you’re harassing an author about their horrible content, you are in fact the person going against the rules of the AO3.

That will never change — that is the entire reason the AO3 was created. It’s our safe space.

When we add external links, which we have to to keep things good and proper, our posts then get nerfed and don’t show up in the tags unless the post gets enough notes for the fucking idiot robot that runs this site to go “oh, so it’s a legitimate post and not a porn bot.” This means if we want our posts to reach a larger audience easily, we need engagement from our immediate followers, and for their followers to engage in the post, etc, etc.

I get that fic promos aren’t pretty to look at like fanart is, but please support fic writers the same way you would fanartists.
