Ofc this doesn’t mean you can’t take some liberties, you’re more than welcome to draw them in your own style or change something that you personally feel fits better But if you’re changing the basics of what makes the character themselves or write them completely different, why?

The more hostile you guys get doesn’t change my mind It just proves that you’re addicted to your fantasies

Muting this now Be nice to each other

@DoodToon It’s just that I like screwing with the designs and imagining characters with their context changed time to time. But separately yeah you cannot build up from a piece of media without understanding its structure.

@DoodToon I dunno, I think it kinda doesn't matter? the thing I love most about fanart is seeing someone's take on a character, however wild it might be. not all of them work for me but I still love seeing it. cannon is a good springboard into something new sometimes

@DoodToon I love this take.

@DoodToon That is true. That said there isnt anything necessarily wrong with it. My personal favorite takes are ones that *would* fit canonically, or even a different story with the same chars IN character, but there's no shame in stuff like ships or minor tweaks to fit a certain setting.

@DoodToon @AstroInfinite_ Nah, you can still show love for a character through a reimagining. If anything, I'd be bored if every fan work was just more of what we've already seen.

@DoodToon This. I've seen this happen one too many times.

@DoodToon SPITTING ONG

@DoodToon Well you gotta phrase this better. There’s nothing wrong with taking a character and twisting it to represent motifs that may relate to your writing or artstyle. It’s the reason why we have Elseworld stories after all.

@DoodToon My only exception is "is it funny?"

@DoodToon I dont think it’s that deep

@DoodToon Ayo she spitting

@DoodToon But people make genderbent fanart and stuff all the time

@DoodToon that's fair, there's a handful of characters i HATED before actually developing headcanons for them

@DoodToon This is a loaded question. If I say yes, then that means I don't like the character even though I'm drawing said thung. If I say no then that's just proving a point.

@DoodToon Case by case basis. As long as peeps aren't being obnoxious about it, it doesn't bug me. That being said I definitely enjoy accurate portrayals majority of the time.

@DoodToon I mean, to an extent I agree

@DoodToon How your notification? Anyone scream at you or anything like that?
