PARROT FREAK!!!

yeah, they were an awful person who did more than horrible things, but the character and creator are completely separate now, especially with avid quitting content creation. these characters no longer belong to them, they belong to the fandom.

i've seen talk of replacing v!avid with a collective oc, and i really don't think this is something we can or should force on people. if someone wants to participate in this, i can't and won't stop them, but we shouldn't act like this is the objectively, only correct course of actions.

i've also seen many people try to remove avid from all their fanworks. now, if people are uncomfortable writing them, that's obviously perfectly fine, but i don't want to see ANYONE claiming that anyone else with an avid character in their fanfiction or comics or drawings or whatever supports them. it is a character, not the creator.

im honestly kind of devastated. unfortunately i wont be able to cut everything they've done out of my life. i still love their characters and music... a lot. i don't support ANY of their actions. ill probably stop posting about them for the most part, but i might not, as like i said, i love the characters and interactions said characters had with my favs (namely the duo of v!drift and v!avid)..
