Redirect to original
Description
Hello your neighborhood royal grump-asses here to give you a PSA:Be original. It's really not that difficult of a thing to do.
Mimicry is not flattering not is it cute. You can learn from someone else's art without ripping off their entire style
It makes you look like a giant asshole and I don't recommend doing it at all.
Be /yourself/ don't try and be someone else. It's okay to take bits and pieces from other people but do it in YOUR way.
Not a straight up copy of them.
On another note, this is a collab between myself and the wonderful TaigaFox
Taiga belongs to him, Bloo is mine obv. Don't take our shit please. Last thing we need is another problem B(

I actually encourage people to remain neutral :c So it's really good of you to keep that mind set.
Like, in all honestly (at least for me) I was never looking for a drama war or to just fight a person for the hell of it. I was agreeing about being extremely disappointed in a certain behavior and since sometimes just asking doesn't seem to work?? It seems like it has to be taken a bit further to get a point through. And it really, really sucks that is has to be that way occasionally, but I don't 'hate' anyone that had anything to do with this. Which is why through basically everything that has occurred I never really attacked them or slandered them but rather just debated my opinion on it and /why/ I felt this way, and occasionally defended myself from accusations that just weren't true. So yeah. This deviation is not me asking for a fight, but rather a collaboration vent. If the person in question complied with what was originally asked with them (and it seems like they have), then there's really no reason for me to continue being negative :c. I just hope that's something that's generally understood

Ahh yea, I noticed that in your other comment. Bloo, I don't know how you do it,
but you honestly have a way with words. I'm not nearly as eloquent, hah. But I
hope all of this is solved soon and both parties have made up, or at least come to
neutral terms 'n whatnot.
Bon chance ! :<

Honestly I think the reason I've formulated a pattern of speech for debates was because a long time ago I was just kind of a loose canon. I got aggressive extremely quickly and flew off the leash too easily. I lost a lot of good friends that way sadly. But I guess over the years I just kind of mended myself to care more about peoples feelings and went from "I dont give a fuck what you think" to "I want to work together but I will be firm and strict if I have to". The past few years have kinda been dedicated to try and mend the relations that have fucked up (Taiga included). And I can say I'm much happier this way. Though, I do admit I crave screaming and smashing my face into a wall more than a few times in the process. As for making up, I feel like I should let the situation rest for awhile before jumping into interactions. Try and give it a cool down period. (they havent unwatched or blocked me so there's that I guess) I appreciate the conversation though, merci beaucoup!

Last thing sorry
DUDE I know what you meannn. All through elementary, middle, and a
bit of high school, I had a "going-from-one-extreme-to-the-other" problem.
I still do, and I'm working on it. I went from being a crybaby to being too
feisty in elementary and middle school, to being too quiet to being too
boisterous in middle and high. I have one friend who stuck through it
since middle, and another from elementary, but I lost her after a while.
I realized it was probably because of my lack of control over my stupid
ass emotions tbh. I'm actually just learning that it might be a hormonal/
cerebral cortex or whathaveyou problem, but I still don't know how I feel
about all that. BUT to actually get to what I was saying wow it's 3 am I'm tired.
I'm learning as well to reign in my erratic emotions and reactions. I'm a bit
more diplomatic when it comes to problems arising in squad on campus
as well as mending relationships back here while I'm home. But yeh.
Hopefully this whole fiasco solves itself over a bit of time. Yeh.
Passes out tbh.

OH NO this isn't about the Rat omg
this is about a different person who was taking our shit there were like 4 journals on it and a ton of debates but most of them were eventually taken down
you can get the gist of it from here tho
mimicker on the run .:image heavy:.yes, i know, double post of sorts, but this is something that highly irritated me.
as you all know i posted a journal linking to something TaigaFox wrote about someone mimicking their style and methods.
my opinion on the matter is, you style is your own and something you have developed, something you have worked hard to create, improve, and shape. therefore, it is wrong for that to be stolen, it's wrong for anything to be stolen. do not try to some on here and tell me "oh it's just the way someone draws something, you can't steal that." technically yes,you can.
taiga and i were having a similar conversation on practically the same matter, though different person, just the other day, where i stated;
"and man like, as far as their style goes, they needs to learn to blend better
it's like, having elements that you've seen in other styles is A-Okay in my opinion but
you need to learn to branch off and make elements your own, add your stuff to them ya know? like, don't make a car

This is so true! Mimicry is not flattering :C I find it highly annoying actually! Bleh. Morally, It isn't right to just take someones entire style and try to copy it :C it just pisses people off.
