GREX.

there you can expect a semi-realistic portraits and maybe (???) my messy experiments with style

mostly drawing Ghost band art, INCLUDING PAPACEST. if u r not into it, please block me. minors DNI 🔞

2h study... drew it about a two months ago and didnt finished

also the speedpaint is under the cut

- crimes cannot be committed against fictional people

- a fictional person's honor, dignity or safety cannot be defended due to obviously not existing

- an author can be annoyed by outside depictions of their intellectual property but the few copyright lawsuits against fan works are primarily about money or libel. Nobody has ever been sued (successfully) for a Dead Dove fic with 500 hits in 10yrs or weird porn featured on Rule34

- Fuck the police but at least the literal authorities (FBI, police, etc) have FAQ pages saying to stop reporting fictional depictions of crimes due to all of the above. Taboo art and writing does not equal anything actionable on a capital level

- It all boils down to 'Thought Crimes'. There's literally over a dozen well known sci-fi stories that depict how shitty thought policing goes

But yeah, that's not true in a lot of other places. Trying to harass and possibly ruin someone's life over what? Pencil drawings or a fic they object to on some loosely defined moral level? Get bent AND pound sand, Twitter losers.

hi again, sunshine! ♥️ you're absolutely right but here's the catch – it doesn't work like that everywhere, like you said. i never been in America, so sorry bc idk how your laws works, but i sure as hell know how it works here.

in my country lgbt = extremism. any mention of it can count as propaganda. and my drawing 120% fall under criminal criteria.

here you can just hit like button on smth like that, and if you're unlucky enough for someone to report you or you end up on fbi's radar – good if you only get a massive fine.

and yeah, someone could ask "then why tf do you even post this?" – i do it anonymously and stay under the radar. if no one notices you're fine. but if someone reports you? they WILL come for you.

there was a girl who almost got 6 years for drawing body-positive and art and stuff against sexualization of women. they went after her for "spreading pornography" (she drew a vulva and posted it). eventually charges dropped, she left the country. that was before the anti-lgbt law. you'd think laws don't have retroactive force, right? not here :) now the case is reopened. if she comes back they'll lock her up under the stricter "extremist" anti-lgbt law (bc she is also lgbt activist) and i doubt it'll stop at 6 years.

that's just one case. so i def wasn't exaggerating in my post.

when you're scared to even open your mouth 24/7 (in case someone reports you), and "traditional values" propaganda is leaking from every crack – when smth like this happens, even in anonymous online spaces, it gets terrifying. just because your nerves are fried and your brain refuses to work.

guess my brain was wired differently yesterday bc i wasnt really that upset about what happened. but today my mental state is betraying me bc 90% of my thoughts are just stuck on this and i cant even work normally, everything keeps slipping out of my hands.

people pls learn to separate fiction from reality and just take things less seriously. every big fandom has nasty ships and its your right to like them or hate them. but public bullying…

this is not "awareness". people follow others who share their vibe. that twitter user is clearly anti-papacest and their audience is pretty big and most of them agree with user. and thats fine, we all have our own comfort zones and boundaries. but the fuckung internet is full of crazy people and someone from that crowd could've doxxed me and ruined my rl. entirely. over a drawing. where i live its MORE than enough and im not exaggerating. and i hope you never find out what that feels like.

i posted MY art on MY blog with proper tags. i didnt dm it to anyone to get a "butthurt" reaction. that person reposted a screenshot of my art WITHOUT my permission and then also shit on people who reblogged it.

maybe those who are upset about this kind of content will read this and actually think. you dont know the person on the other side of the screen. you dont know what their life is like, what their mental state is, you dont know ANYTHING. just bc art is posted publicly doesnt mean anyone can repost it without permission for the sake of "spreading awareness" and warning others. people have their own brains and can decide what to do with that kind of content without someone telling them. this is just hypocrisy. you're just putting someone on a public pillory to stroke your own ego and dont even try to tell me otherwise. the internet will always have stuff you wont like, theres plenty of freaks here, but starting a witch hunt… thats awful. block tags, block authors, shit on us in dms with your friends if u want and scroll past. WITHOUT PUBLICLY SHAMING.

remember that the world is huge and there are countries where this kind of content is not just frowned upon but actually illegal, thats the reason why a lot of us post our works anonymously. when you've been stuck in this homophobic patriarchal shit your whole life, all you want is to enjoy something and the last thing you expect is to be judged by people who are supposedly in the same fandom as you.

wanna believe that none of us will be bullied for this kind of content, even though i know there will always be people in this fandom who arent happy about it.

im also really glad that there were dozens of times more kind and warm words than hateful ones! i'd say we came out as the winners of this war. hopefully artists or writers in the fandom will stop being afraid to share their works.

andddd also, i've got a ton of new followers :D i mean i always wanted to somehow, ummm yk, establish myself as a Ghost artist, but not like this – but shit happens :)

Keep doing what you're doing 🫡💚💜

Your art is great and you should be able to create what you want, without some people who turn fandom into activism all the time.

Love!

And as an anon that works in libraries I like to causally remind these Purity Culture types that what they're trying to do is capital C censorship. Enjoying FICTION is not and has never been an endorsement of real life ills and crimes, ya bozos.

Anyway... Love your style and techniques. You can draw the Papa's in a massive orgy or draw nothing but frolicking bunnies in fields and I'd enjoy it all.

thank you so much, dear! grinning like an idiot, especially at the last part :D and so lovely to hear when people appreciate my arts 🥺

ngl after all this ummm stuff my petty ass kind of wants to draw an orgy just to spite them (jk! or nah lol)

yeah, people really forgot that the block button exists and think their opinion is the only one that matters – sadly but nothing new. everyone has the right to their own boundaries and a comfortable space, its just a pity that sometimes, instead of simply blocking, people choose to loudly demand that the world around them change (ofc im talking about our fictional bros, not irl incest lol thats gross and we all know it)
