Story time!

Secondary blog! :D For all my info-dumping, prompt re-blogging, self re-blogging, and question answering needs!! I’ll still be posting stuff like my drawings and any update worthy stuff on my main blog: https://kaleidiope.tumblr.com But this is a place where I can basically go off the hinges and talk about my characters and build them, as well as my world here. Without annoying everyone with a bunch of posts, and cluttering stuff up too much As for, my main blog is a fairly “jack-of-all-trades”-ish blog. And having too much of one thing at a time there will make my brain scream at me :D Also, I’ll be re-bloging all the stuff I post/have posted from my main blog here that involves my stories As of now, this blog will be focusing on my story OUL. But we’ll be talking about the others, too Condensed OC info blog, a-go!

But for what can't, any precious materials are used as equal value items

And ever since my story began handling pretty heavy topics. I feel no need to keep it "clean" or "Kid-friendly" since death, murder and many others topics it handles are very-not-child-safe I've wanted to talk about how my characters take a life of their own for a bit now, but have yet to. I think this is a perfect example, though "I-don't-swear-but-they-would-so-I-feel-I-should-so-they-can-be-themselves"

The worst thing about making stuff like stories and characters is knowing that if it gets well-known, there will be people who "fix" what you make They won't care why you made it, what it means to you, or even if their "fix" is something good So many art "fixes" have had backlash. Because they're never thought out. And often insulting to both the viewers and artist And I don't mean the (I have no clue if there's an actual word for this, so if anyone knows please enlighten me and help build my knowledge!) skin tone changing. As I'd happily welcome seeing others draw my characters with different skin tones, hair textures, you name it! I'd consider that to be fanart, and I'd be so happy to see someone take my characters and portray them in a way that's relatable to them! Head-canon them to be LGBTQ+ icons, head-canon them to have disorders. Give them prosthetics, hearing aids, anything you wish! One of the reasons I don't mind how my characters are portrayed particularly look-wise, is because their looks don't matter in the story. But for someone to change them, only to say it's "better" now. Takes that to the wind and personally, feels hurtful (I'd actually like to know others opinions? And if anyone has insight? I always like to learn and gain new perspectives) But no, I actually don't mean that kind. I worry people will take a character, a story, and genuinely change it. Saying it'd be better "this" way And, you don't know how happy I'd be to see others make fanfic and AUs from my stories But the idea that people will take what I make. And say they did it better by erasing meaning I carefully crafted. Hurts so much Same though, I have to be prepared for nsfw stuff if anything I make becomes popular And when I think about that, I sometimes hope my creations never get off the ground I already worry people will hate what I make. Say it's bad, but that's the gamble a creator takes. I need to focus on the good that may come from it. And let the weird and bitter side of the interwebs not affect me I can't prevent what others do or think. But I can keep myself in check. I can portray things with the best accuracy and good intent I humanly can! I can do my best This "best" may change as the years go on. But for now, I will do my currant best It is all anyone can ask of anyone
