@D0RIANSCROCHAN I’ve already explained and posted further down in my thread that I had no idea of those potential implications and that they were never intended either at the point of creating the art or posting it.
I’ve been corrected, educated and will ensure that mistake is never made again.
@nightwingcourt I genuinely didn’t see that connection and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I’ve always tried to stand as an ally to people of colour and I made a genuine mistake.
People can hate me for the art, I wouldn’t expect anything less, but my apology is genuine.
I also wish to add - as I have been further educated on the piece I posted - that there was absolutely no racial intent behind this art.
I understand how it has been perceived and the real world historical context cannot and will not be ignored.
I sincerely apologise ❤️
@gwynsazrieIs We* and I’m not in either of these pictures, nor do I agree with them or the doxxing of a child.
You cannot take my indirect call out tweet, post it without context and refuse to acknowledge the psychos within your own fandom.
Hold your own fandom accountable, as I do.
@gwynsazrieIs Maybe post the tweets of Gwynriels threatening SJM’s newborn daughter, a real baby, when the interviews of her laughing at the gwyn and Azriel ship theories dropped?
@gwynsazrieIs This was 5 years ago and the context is missing.
This was an indirect towards those horrific ‘fanfics’ and theories of Gwyn killing Elain and replacing her role in her family and the inner circle. Posting this old tweet without the context to make me seem terrible is laughable.
@nightwingcourt Of course, and once again thank you for being kind enough to educate me and even respond to me. I understand the weight of what I did and I am very appreciative that there are people holding me accountable for it and willing to correct mistakes.
I wish you well ❤️
Took the art down, shouldn’t have made it in the first place and sorry if anyone found it uncomfortable, as someone who has attempted before I didn’t think about it as seriously as I should have!
All love ❤️

I’m someone who has attempted on multiple occasions and unfortunately that’s left me with a certain amount of desensitisation from these topics and depictions - which is why I believed it was harmless.
It’ll *never* happen again, all love going forward y’all!
@nightwingcourt I’ll add another thread to the apology to ensure the bases are covered also, even though there was no intent - I’d hate for people to perceive me as anything other than an ally.
Once again, thank you for educating me on this, it truly does mean a lot.
@nightwingcourt Thank you for educating me on where the racial connections have been drawn, you’ve highlighted something that I genuinely didn’t intend.
Though I hope you understand that at the point of creating and even posting the art, there was absolutely no racial intent behind it!
@troymanias I assure you there was absolutely no racial intent behind my art, I’ve been educated on how it has been perceived that way, but at the point of making it and posting it there was no intention of it.
You can hate me for it but to label me as something I’m not is where I’ll argue.
@bookishcentric I promise things like this will never happen on my account again, I made a genuine mistake and can only hope that people can see my apology is genuine.

@valkyriesflame No, I deleted it after a conversation with a close mutual who helped me understand that my desensitisation doesn’t warrant exposing other people to harmful depictions.
You don’t have to think I’m a good person, all I want people to know is that my apology is genuine.
@ariwinds I accept that what I did was wrong and it’ll never happen again, I made a mistake that won’t be repeated. You don’t have to accept that, only accept that my apology is genuine.
2 weeks after posting this I developed a (potentially chronic) chest injury that has hospitalised me four times… the universe really fucked me over these past couple of months.
So… I’ve had a month from hell.
My niece almost died, my aunt did die and then my granddad died in another country and then I had a full-on breakdown and attempted…
I’m okay, I need to be medicated, but I’m okay.
It can only go up from here, right?
