Um no I'm pretty sure those are both switches

Every morning

Oh, little star, what have they done to you?

I've been looking for an excuse to draw this meme for ages and then BAM Shadow Dark'ness Dementia Raven Heart was right there

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

Crossposting this rant from my Twitter because honestly I'm fucking exhausted. "Hating that I have to say this again, but please fucking stop putting me and other creatives on an "unproblematic cinnamon roll" pedestal. We do not wish to be up there and cannot and will not live up to your personal standards of what all that entails. Legit was just having a conversation with a friend about this and how terrified they are to post a darkfic because they don't want to "betray" anyone when they did nothing but have people force a label on them they didn't ask for. It is not a fucking betrayal. Especially if it's tagged and clearly labeled to avoid, what betrayal is there? That this stranger on the internet you projected a comfort zone onto failed to meet your expectations for that?" "I promise you, I like things and enjoy media featuring shit that are squicks to many. I will write and want to write some fucked up shit and explore it. I will do so with thorough tags and warnings because I care enough to and I want people knowing what they are getting into. BUT my art is not a condemnation or evidence to me as a person. I have been open about myself and people can speculate, but you do not know me. Art is made for as many reasons as there are in the sky because humans have such complexities. It is beautiful. It should be as it is." "Just fucking leave people alone and recognize their humanity. Recognize they aren't just your "fav". Do not strip us of who we are to fit the mirage in your head that is only built to shatter one day." And to add to it, no, I will not condemn others for their art. I do not fucking know them. And if you expect me to make a public statement, you have already failed to ask what I have asked of you above. I am not your representation. I am not your hero. I am a fucking fic writer in the damn void. I will let you down as it was never my responsibility to raise you up. I appreciate the support as always, but I create for myself and my motives. No one else's.
