re: the leeb!t/fanart of a private figure conundrum (just my opinion): he’s only ever presented himself publicly in that one context in costume at the concert, and that was the context you engaged with. To hunt down images of him and use those would def be an invasion of the privacy of someone not choosing to be in the public eye. You haven’t done that tho, youve taken only the public appearance he’s actually given and consented to and made fanart of that. Not trying to do the “you interacted with that media more ethically than anyone else” thing lmao but I think in regards to respecting the boundaries of a private figure you’re totally fine.

!!! thank you for this, i also had this in mind but i felt like i couldnt articulate it as well. juggling ethics in the rps sphere is never easy TT;;; i think i could argue abt the logistics of it all (using only lbt within the fa, them willingly divulging the info that its his friend in there in a public space and would know the pros and cons of doing so, etc) but at the end of the day i think the work itself is so vague that it barely has any ties with this guy. its literally just lk and lbt goofin
