opening up commissions againnn in the style above thru kofi ^ rts are appreciated thank uuu

please read my terms of service before commissioning me!

I did forget to put that if you get a sketch from me here and want it finished later, you get it taken off a full lined and colored commission when I open full commissions later this month <3

so actually my ex roommate fucked us we're out like $400+ because of the shit his sister pulled on us plus with how much our other roommate bails us out because ex roommate's terrible spending habits screwing us over with how we split everything between the house. SO I SET UP A KOFI GOAL ^^;

otherwise my commissions are open if you want more than a sketch commission just shoot me an email on my caard (the 2nd link in the og post)

recent examples:

^ half body sketch with color $55

^ full body sketch plus extra half body with full color $70 + $30 = $100

^ half body sketch (would be cleaner with shading) $40

For science. For those of you who have watched RWBY have you noticed a shift in opinion within the fandom regarding James over time?

Definitely. Before the end of Volume 7, the Fandom was generally normal about Ironwood. Yeah, there were some people who hated him, same as there will always be some people who hate any character from any property that ever existed, but for the most part? People *generally* agreed that he was a Flawed Hero; a character who made definite mistakes and didn't do everything right, but who was firmly planted on the "stop Salem from taking over the world" side. Volumes 3 and 4 cemented him in that role, and the fndm used to post a lot about how helpful and trustworthy he was lol, and everybody generally liked him because of his status as *the only character in the series that stood up to Jacques and the Atlas Billionaire Class in defense of the people and Best Girl Weiss.*

But then after the end of V7 the fndm was immediately split, between the people who said "That entire little schism thing felt horrifically contrived and inadvertently made the main characters seem unreasonable and naive, and if any logic is applied to the falling-out, then their actions in this finale will lead to the death of millions" and the people who said "Team RWBY is perfect and divine and can do no wrong and anybody who doesn't Just Follow Orders and fall in line behind Ruby without hesitation or doubt is Evil and now that includes Ironwood AND EVERY VIEWER WHO DISAGREES WITH ME"

Aaaaaaand then Volume 8 came out and Ironwood had been reduced into a belligerent violent cartoonishly-evil wicked monstrous mustache-twirling monologue-delivering villain who chuckled about torture and murdered people in cold blood and ripped a young girl's bodily autonomy away from her and tried to bomb poor people for no reason, and the fndm was even further divided between people who said "wow this writing was really OOC; making him fall into villainy is one thing, but throwing the entire character out the fucking window and replacing it with Jack M. Crazyfish from SpongeBob Squarepants because you're too inept to write believable bad guys was certainly A Choice." and people who said "Oh, so he was ALWAYS pure evil and violent and hated poor people, and everything that came before this season was all just an act, and also I'm going to blatantly and stupidly ignore the dictionary definition of the word 'fascist' so that I can misattribute it to Ironwood, and then also misattribute it to EVERY VIEWER WHO DISAGREES WITH ME"

And honestly, the switch happened on a fucking dime. It felt like you could go to bed the night before an episode aired and see posts in the tags talking about how Ironwood always possessed [X] characteristic so it would be interesting to see it come into play in the season, and then the next day the episode would air and Ironwood would do some hugely bizarre OOC thing and the tags would immediately be flooded with people who would be like "this episode revealed that Ironwood was actually putting on an act whenever he displayed [X] trait because [X] trait is incompatible with what he did in Episode 10 so therefore it must be Episode 10 that is the True Ironwood and everything else that came before that contradicts it was him putting on an act for the camera he didn't even know was there - and anybody who calls it OOC is just too stupid to realize that there's no such thing."

Before the end of V7, the commonly held consensus on Ironwood was "He made some pretty bad mistakes and the fickle world calls him heartless, but he's a good guy with a good heart (cleverly playing into his Tin Man allusion) and he helped Yang and Weiss and he stood up to the comically evil Jacques in that scene when Jacques was trying to strong-arm the government into letting him abuse his workers for profit - because as spelled out explicitly on-screen in canon, he's a good person who always does what he thinks is best for the people, even against strong protest." And then after the end of V7 and throughout the entirety of V8, it did a full fucking 180° and the fndm switched into saying "he never ever ever ever did a single solitary good thing in his entire life and every single second he spent on the screen was spent Evilly Manipulating the Viewers into Thinking He Was Good, and he's actually completely heartless (cleverly subverting his Tin Man allusion by sucking out the hope and the happily ever after because we're so Dark and Edgy and that's what we think 'subvert expectations' means) and he's an Abusive Violent Classist Terrorist who Hates Poor People and he's a Selfish Cowardly Violent Terrorist and he's a Fascist and that goes DOUBLE for anybody who dares to say 'I don't think this is good writing' because the only thing more evil than Ironwood is a viewer who criticises the men who wrote this story"

I know people who were in the middle of long-term fanfics heavily featuring Ironwood right during the actual turnaround, and I remember seeing them complain in discord chat groups about how disheartening it all was, saying things like "I've had hundreds of comments over the past few years telling me that I write Ironwood perfectly, that I've captured his voice and nuance, that I do a good job portraying him as a Flawed Hero, a leader who makes mistakes, a person who might do the wrong thing sometimes but who ultimately has the good of the people in mind - but now all of a sudden after the latest episode, I'm getting flooded with people accusing me of Fascism for failing to write him as a Pure Evil Mustache Twirling Monologuing Heartless Wicked Manipulative Abusive Murderer Terrorist."

There was a stark and glaring shift between when people were normal about Ironwood and when people turned fucking rabid about him, and it made the fndm a fucking nightmare for the rest of us

Rosebird Week Day 1: Red Thread of Fate

Hi,

It’s you friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.
