you said we could use this askbox as a confessional so here is my confession: i used to hate you, and i dont really know why. i dont think it was bc i was jealous of your art or followers count or bc i disliked your ships or headcanons, i just hated you. i never told anyone about it, even if i have some moots who also hated you. but it kinda stopped when i realized you were always minding your own business, had to see your art/ideas getting stolen for shock purpose or your private convos leaked and/or edited to paint you as an evil person. i actually like your art a lot despite not having the same headcanons than you, and i’m so upset it took me so long to accept i was wrong about you. it was just hard to acknowledge when you aren’t very vocal about drama when it doesn’t target your safety directly (which is honorable despite also being horrific to say)
thank you for listening to me

I'll be honest with you, I have no idea what you're talking about. I barely talk in DM or on Discord and I doubt anything I say there would be taken badly if it became public? And if it was, I would have probably heard about it most likely...?
I know my friend Phel (got some of his private chats leaked but afaik, it actually fell kinda flat since it was done to pin the blame on him but had the opposite effect? I still work with him on art but he has zero public presence online by choice so outside of us finding it distasteful to try to expose him in a place he doesn't go to, I don't think anyone should lose sleep on that.

I stopped caring about people tracing me or stealing my concepts for it's just no use to do so when I repeatedly get called lesbophobic or biphobic when I get vocal about not liking people tracing my M/F pairs art for their F/F ships so... :) Same for being racist against white people apparently, my bad ig but I'll keep doing that idgaf.

I hope you at least feel better sending me that...? But you should stop giving so much attention to whatever fandom drama you might step into. There are people here who are dangerous to others, with actually harmful opinions that go beyond liking a ship you dislike or having a random headcanon not aligning with yours. Save your energy on that instead.
