WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!!

so it’s december of 2021 and i find myself back to this damn fandom. it’s been my biggest hyperfixation since i was 7 years old, and it’s been there for me for the majority of my life. but dear GOD i just could not bring myself to come back and/or like MOTHER again… until now.

i was optimistic about opening the ask box earlier this year, and i got some good asks! really neat stuff, a lot of asks pushing for the small plot for this blog that was stirring. what i didn’t expect, though? racism lol

yeah, i’ve always had people shit on me for my interpretations of the characters, even though they are basically the same as their canon versions. but for some “odd” reason, most mother fans cannot wrap it around their heads that other people may interpret established characters with a different skin color. it’s evident in a lot the fan community does, going from simple fanart all the way to the lack of diversity in bigger projects like fangames or collabs. as someone who’s been in the fandom since the mid-late 00’s (i’m not old, i was just a curious kid), it’s always been a thing, but it got really bad recently. so when i got death threats over returning, i pretty much closed up shop here.

i brand myself as a “mother artist” on all my socials. i have not made any public artwork relating to mother since early 2020.

what made me come back? well, besides the support of my friends and access to new tech, i would say the lack of understanding what MOTHER is as a game and as art made me utterly upset. a lot of the fanbase really forgot that the characters you are creating content for are… children. 9-13 years old. and i have seen the goriest, gaudiest, and crudest things on this website and others with those same characters. i can’t police art, sure, but i think there’s a clear misunderstanding here from writing or showing sad moments to just torturing characters you project on. MOTHER is not about torture… so if the change me and many others want to see won’t happen, i guess we’ll have to make it happen!
