This Idea Struck Me One Night And I Have Only Drawn It Now

‘ in Japan there's a tradition of fixing broken bowls with gold, making it art.

Maybe we can't heal by loving ourselves; But we can heal loving eachother. ’

All hail my old af art

Now those are from 2020, befor i got into digital drawing

Now these bad boys are from 2021-

Came to tumblr after such a long time and faced this.

I used to ship A/H too. God damnit its a fucking children's book. People consuming media of this fandom, many of them are either teenagers or kids. Having sth they like harassed just isn't it. First time i posted sth (slightly) A/H, not even a kiss, just a hug or sth like that and sb called me a pedophile, i didn't know what the hell that even meant.

Fucking leave it at this point

CW: pedo mention, suicide

I have a request. And this may get me blocked or hated even more by the AF community:

Can we stop the aminosity towards A/H shippers? Anti culture is celebrated in our fandom now, and like, cool if you don't ship anyone, but many of you on this platform find a way to literally bully or harass fans who are openly A/H. I also used to get endless inboxes of anon hate and harassment, even so far as telling me to 'KYS', or calling me a pedophile.

Let's make something very fucking clear: Redirect your issues to Colfer instead, because he wrote the 6th book. HE wrote the kiss. HE wrote them having feelings for eachother. Yes, as kids, a lot of us attached to this. Maybe it's from shared trauma, maybe it's a comfort place. Whatever someone's reason is for shipping, they DON'T need to explain themselves, or be made guilty for their preferences! Instead of harassing A/H shippers as if we spun the oldest celebrated ship from midair, how about you complain about damn Colfer?! He's not a poor innocent Irishman that had nothing to do with it. Give me a break.

Now, your hate and despise of the ship DOES affect other people when you go into the Hartemis tag and write on shippers' posts, literally heckling and harassing them. You know who you all are. I haven't checked it recently, but around 7 months ago, it was filled with HATE. HATE. AND HATE. I saw one very celebrated user telling Hartemis shippers to kill themselves. Honestly. If you look folks, it's there. Fuck that. If being an anti means you support hate and harassment, get the fuck off my tumblr lol.

I have had so many, SO many people come to me in messages to discuss A/H. I have had younger fans, literal kids, message me with art and explain they didn't feel safe posting it to tumblr because of the antis and hatred of A/H. ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. Do you know how angry this makes me? This is disgusting behavior, that children can't post their work without an anti yelling at them they're supporting pedophilia.

Which do you think is more harmful?! Supporting A/H? Or isolating young teens or kids and making their work and art feel worthless and unwanted?

Btw: none of the A/H shippers call our ship Hartemis. That's a you guys thing, lol. We like A/H. They don't need a ship name so it's easier to mock.

In short, leave people alone. Stop intermingling your personal issues into other's lives. Don't like Hartemis? Leave the fandom then! You tell us to gtfo, so you can as well! 😬 I really dont have anything inspirational or nice to say here. I'm disappointed that such a tiny fandom has been literally split apart in half, and half of them are not allowed to interact with the other.

We're so tiny, guys. We literally don't have to isolate each other. I was so depressed when I first joined tumblr and got so much hate, and to know there are kids who are messaging me, revealing they're getting hate? That they're scared to post? To rant and rave and ramble like the rest of us? It's disappointing. It really is.

Have some sad scarred arty ispired by @af-answers ' latest post goodbye.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS

Iran won it's first ever oscar in animation! 😭

Yall do not understand this is HUGE

Ive seen these guys in person, and they are literally of the best and sweetest people I've ever met!

They worked day and night, with terrible economy, with a lack of professional artists, with no particularly stable income, absolutely NO SUPPORT from the country, NO SPONSOR, and they freaking ROCKED

Ive seen that man three times so far, and every time, he was incredibly sleep deprived, because of this exact project

These guys were not given a visa until last minute and they rushed to the ceremony after a 25 hour flight directly FROM THE AIRPORT, they couldn't attend a meeting ment for the oscar nominees because iran wouldn't give them permission to exit the country

They went through everything you could think of

And as an Iranian animation student, to know that they were able to do it, it just means that my dreams are just not as impossible as they seemed
