people started finding my art and reposting it, to bad art blogs and forums. one of my friends said “i have bad news about your art” and linked me to a bad warriors art blog that had posted my drawing of scourge and i could see all the notes of people making fun of it.

i tried to brush it off, i asked for it to be removed, but it kept happening, and people started leaving comments on my deviations. they started adding my art to bad art folders on da. i was being harassed as a very young child.

at this point i had been drawing every single day, i spent hours drawing my bad warriors art. it was the thing i loved the most at the time. and now? i still draw everyday, but it’s so, so hard for me to post or share it, and i went through a long period of time refusing to draw because i remembered all the things people said about my art.

it didn’t help me. it made me wanna improve my art sure, but on the level that now everything i draw looks bad to me, every idea i have seems cringy to me. i’m terrified of people seeing my work because i am scared everyone will make fun of it again.

I got told the post was there, and got my whole gang of friends to go in there and rag on them for posting my work up just to rip into it. I wasn’t going to do anything but pout at first, but my ~17 year old friends were smart enough to go, hey, this isn’t cool, they’re picking on you and you’re just a kid.

They eventually took it down, but it was under threat from them to report me on FFN for being underage.

For several years of my life, from about 15 on, I viewed my reaction as really cringy. I regretted laying into them because suddenly I realized how young and dumb I’d looked, how stupid my fic was, how awful I was for going in when they were just having fun, etc.

It wasn’t until a few months ago, when I first saw a post like this circulating Tumblr, that I finally stopped regretting it and viewed it as what it was: bullies picking on kids.

It doesn’t matter that their excuse was “We didn’t know you were a kid”; even if I hadn’t been, it’d be easy for a kid to see work that looked like theirs being insulted and decide it’s not worth even trying.

Not to mention, I was 20 before I even tried to write something with original characters again (a single RPG I’d already started getting into nonwithstanding), and I still live in constant fear people will look at a character I make and go “ew, it’s a self-insert”.

Mad talent 😫
