Hiiii me again
Related to the post about the ownership of characters and the tags you put-
I just wanted to mention that you’ve given me a lot of confidence. I used to be the type of person who believed “if your oc even breathes in the direction of a canon character, it’s cringe and Mary Sue and you’ll be ripped to shreds for it.” I’d have to tread so lightly with characters I enjoyed and love them from afar because I felt if I made even a joke post someone would bring it up.
I’ve only just gotten into the cod fandom, found your blog a couple months ago, and it’s given me a lot of like. Idk!! Just “fuck it, do what you want” kinda vibes in the best way? It’s really hard to word this lmao. But since finding your blog I’ve made a 141 character, a shadow, literally shipping an oc with ghost now, and I’m having fun that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t find your blog
So thank you <3
Hello! (。・∀・)ノ゙
Well, It's been an apparent issue in this fandom. idk why, but when I visit other fandoms, the sense of ownership and possessiveness to the characters is not that high, like what's up with these people I don't know. Like, the characters in media, especially in games, don't belong to anyone except the studios that made them 😭
We as fandom members can create original characters, alternative universes, and stuff for them. I can't imagine a piece of media without fanarts, fics, and OC's really. Heck, that's what keeps the fandom alive. If there's one thing we can learn from history of media, is that you can't hold back people's creativity. OF COURSE, there are cringe ones and unhinged ones, but it's fandom, of course, it's filled with different types of people from normal to bizarre ones.
Here's the thing, just because one person has already shipped their OC with one character, that doesn't mean that character is LOST forever to that one particular OC like it's a damn popularity competition 😭.
I've also seen some people saying that they're so emotionally attached to this one character, that if they see him with someone else's OC. they get super emotional and super angry?? Okay that's just-- WOW.
If you feel uncomfortable seeing your favorite character being shipped with someone else, then that just means that you're NOT ready and not mature enough to be an OC creator and be in a fandom space. Full stop.
and if I may speak from experience, I've lost a few friendships due to being... quite popular OC shipper with Ghost 🥲.Like, I don't know what's happening, I personally don't feel anything when I see other's OC's with Ghost, or any character I like with other OC's -- I EVEN DRAW OTHER OC'S WITH GHOST FOR COMMISSIONS 😭
But yeah, before I yap too much, thank you so much for the good words in the last paragraph! It's very very lovely, and I'm glad you have your own OC to have fun with! Happy creating and happy drawing💖!
Okay hi guys I actually do not know how to start this post. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is the first time in a long time I have posted my art to anywhere. Pls do not bully me I will cry. Also I would like to note that I drew this on my art tablet and the colours THERE are VERY DIFFERENT than the ones that show up on my laptop. Gotta love colour calibration amirite.
Anyways! Let me introduce you to
Virginia "Gin" Abernathy.
She is (one of) my Call of Duty MWI-III oc(s). I finished this ref sheet before she had a last name and have not had time to change it (sigh). One day.
Anyways! She is super awesome and cool and was made in tandem with @oh-sturg-art's character Seven :). Gin is actually her handler :3!!!!
Erm. I cannot think of anything else to say. Enjoy? :3
- A HUGE tractor hauling industrial farm equipment
- The people where I get my breakfast noticing that I’m not in my work uniform, asking “not going to work today?”
- A falcon desperately trying to balance on a telephone wire during a very windy day
- Two toddlers making instant friends with one another for no reason other than they were both toddlers in the same place
- Newly hatched baby geese. Couldn’t have been bigger than a baseball
- A helicopter flying maybe 500 feet off the ground, maybe less, spraying for mosquitos around the lake
- Being at a green light and when the car in front didn’t move for a good few seconds, nobody honked. Everyone was just patient
- The yellow trash bags on the side of the highway indicating the Lions have been there cleaning. The Lions are the local community service group
So I moved from my childhood state a few years ago and I’ve been struggling with adjusting ever since, largely because of the drastic negative change in my social life. But life is beautiful, so I wanted to make a list of things I’ve seen since moving here that I couldn’t get back home! You have to appreciate the little things in life. I’m gonna periodically add more as I see them
- “The Oven Bus” which is just a bus with a brick chimney in it. I wanna know what’s going on in there so badly
- All of the sunsets here are beautiful without fail. Don’t matter what time they happen, even if it’s at 4, it’s beautiful. There’s so many colours in them
- The sign I drive past on the way to work that says “WALTZ IS FOR MURDERING THE UNBORN.” I don’t agree with it but it’s fucking hilarious to see, because it’s in the middle of nowhere
- Related, since we live out in the country now, the pro-life religious bulletins that have the most CGI looking babies on them. Like that baby is not real. Honey
- I almost got into an accident once because there are so many dogs down a 55 MPH road that I just kept looking at the dogs
- The church that has six doors outside on their lawn that say “GOD’S DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL”
- The church that has a progress flag on its flag post and a BLM flag flying under it. I went there once and it’s full of old people. They were so kind. I want to go back there again
- The kind lady at the Chinese takeout restaurant down the road from us who stayed when the restaurant was empty so I could pick up my order. I wanted my brother to get it but he bailed last minute
- The grocery store down the street that my family has wildly different pronunciations of. It’s within walking distance. I’ve never had that before
- The man today who accidentally bought two tickets for himself. Instead of refunding one, he wanted to give away the other one for free
- The mall Santa I see around Christmas time when he’s on his break. Just walking around. High socks and shorts with a Christmas theme, he’s great
- The little girl yesterday who told me she would get a dog and a fish. When I asked her what she would name the dog, she said “Rainbow Pup”
- The parents who use they/them to refer to me. Even though I personally don’t use those pronouns and don’t like them when they’re used in reference to me, it’s a sign of progress
- The little girl whose parents I sold an annual pass to. I’ve seen her four times. She recognizes me each time and runs to give me a hug
- The toddler who tried to hand me her half-eaten cinnamon-dusted timbit when I asked her for a high five
- The kind people at KwikTrip who never look like they don’t want to be there
- My supervisor who shrieks whenever he walks by me because that’s how I greet people so he’s started greeting me like that as well. He’s an absolute truck of a man who looks like Thor
Discord teenager: I’m doing something that is Bad For My Health and complaining about it
Me: here’s a possible solution to that problem
Discord teenager: but I don’t want to!!!!!
I feel like we discuss art too much as a product to be consumed rather than a creation of a person
THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING
why does almost EVERYONE IN COD HAVE BLUE/BLUEISH GREEN EYES???
like-
WHERE DID MY GRAYISH BLUE GO? WHERE DID HAZEL GO? WHERE DID AMBER GO!? WHERE DID FUCKING CHOCOLATE GO? oh wait-i ate that nvm.
Living in capitalism is me being under the weather and needing a few days off because I don’t want to make other people miserable with my health but also being unable to take days off suddenly without a doctor’s note or I’ll get written up BUT not wanting to go through the trouble and cost of getting a doctor’s note
furry haters piss me off like for sure fuck these fun creative and inspired chill people because i think theyre weird. i just saw art of an anthro wolf that is also a fridge and it had fridge magnets on it and its tail was a bag of ice it was fucking awesome
I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW I SAID THIS WHILE WE WERE BUILDING A HOUSE I FORGET WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO MAKE
