Some thoughts on fanworks, CP headcanons, and official writing.

Originally, I actually wanted this account to be the kind of side account where people casually post ship thoughts, little scenarios, and self-indulgent ideas.
I know sharing the images in your head, your personal interpretations, and very self-indulgent little fantasies is completely normal in fandom space. I’ve always enjoyed seeing other people do it. But even after all this time, I still haven’t really gotten over the embarrassment of posting these out. Every time I think about posting something, I end up backing out. So honestly, I’ve always admired people who have the courage to share that part of themselves openly.

When I vent about official writing, there are some voices like “You draw NSFW, what right do you have to criticize the official story being masturbatory?”, “If the official story were written the way you want it would be laughable.”

To me, that either shows a lack of understanding of what fanworks are, or a deliberate attempt to confuse two completely different things.
Fanworks have always been personal, biased, self-indulgent, and free. They can exist purely to serve one specific moment the creator wants to see.
But Official writing has to carry the responsibility of characterization, narrative logic, worldbuilding consistency, and the overall quality of the work itself.

So when people use the occasional fan idea I have posted to dismiss my criticism of the official story, I think they are mixing up two separate things.

When I criticize official writing, I am not saying“Why didn’t canon give me my preferred ship?” or “Why didn’t canon satisfy my fantasy?”

What I care about is whether the story contradicts established information, whether the characters’ actions are consistent, whether the buildup is sufficient, whether important relationships are handled carelessly, and whether the work has lost the seriousness and emotional weight that originally moved me. And everyone has different standard on these things.

Drawing NSFW fanart does not mean I can’t comment on the story. And occasionally posting fan fantasies does not mean people can’t be disappointed in the official narrative.

For me, it is precisely because the official work once gave us stories that were beautiful, serious, moving, and worth revisiting that I came to love these characters, wanted to create fanworks, and felt disappointed when later writing became unreasonable or careless.

Fan culture exists as an extension of the charm of the original work.
Different interpretations, ships, kinks, fantasies, and creations are what make a fandom lively and diverse. That does not mean fan creator wants the official story to follow their personal headcanons.

Again, feel free to dislike my work, and to disagree with my criticism.
But using “you draw NSFW” or “your headcanon is shit” to dismiss opinion on the official writing is kinda stupid.
I love the freedom of fan creation, and I admire people who can honestly share the things they love.
At the same time, I also hope the official story can live up to these characters, this world, and the feelings it once gave me.

Hello!
I have been posting one drawing a day as a recent Challenge, but I have ended up getting Search Banned. Since this keeps happening every time I post my work, I think I need some kind of countermeasure.
I need your advice and help!
What should I do?

@Ayanarinashi Even more disgusting than just stealing that scene outright.
Putting it through AI first like everyone’s fucking stupid and won’t notice.

I’m so tired of the current era, man

[uof2 @uof105]

Just noticed this official sticker they released recently looks a bit like my icon (except way cuter), so I was happily about to go download it...
Then Google showed me this.
Jesus, you are feeding even chibi art into img2img
What is wrong with you people...

@ shuraillusts
Using img to img on other's work and then having the audacity to quote them in the comments as a "reference"......what a legendary level of shamelessness
AI bros' mental gymnastics are truly in a league of their own

[uof2 @uof105]

@Hieulegen27 Wow you are exactly right!!! It really does lack that liveliness now, and there are far fewer iconic memorable moments. Honestly, the older stories that focused on the characters themselves weren't any less capable of tackling grand themes...like Lonetrail and Near Light…

[uof2 @uof105]

Do people want an actual story with complex, fleshed-out characters and deep lore, or just mental porn? Is this an actual script or just self-insert toilet paper?
Endfield is doing the exact same shit. Whole cast simping over an edmin whose "great deeds" we haven't even seen.

[uof2 @uof105]

@Hieulegen27 This pure black-and-white morality is making the stories increasingly childish. It's nothing like before, when you could see systemic and institutional problems playing out on a larger scale — and as a result, there are no more compelling characters like Kristen anymore.

[uof2 @uof105]

@Hieulegen27 OW I completely agree with you. And this story, like all the SS from the past two years, is filled with extremely one-dimensional characters. The good guys are purely good, and the villains are obviously evil the moment you see their character art.

[uof2 @uof105]

@Hieulegen27 yea you said recent
