♛ kingdom hearts 30 days challenge → day 02: favorite character
i was really torn between roxas and xion, but since he’ll most likely be in day 4 i’ve ended up picking the pretty lady. i admit i wasn’t really planning to like her so much at first, since the whole fourteenth member in organization 13 thing just looked like some sort of fanfiction made into a game to me. and yet it took me literally ten seconds to love her: i love her quiet personality and how she doesn’t beam with joy but still she always keeps that happy look when she hangs with roxas and axel. most of all i love how she looks so fragile and yet she’s so strong: being faced with the true purpose of her existence, she put her friends ahead of her life. she joined with sora because that was the right thing to do, no matter if that meant that she would disappear and nobody would remember her, as long as she could protect roxas that was fine with her, and that’s why i admire her to no end.
AHHHHHHHHHH
I JUST FOUND OUT
THAT THIS IS TITLED “SOLAR ECLIPSE”
AND THE DESCRIPTION ON PIXIV IS “Just for a moment would be enough….”
AHHHH MY FEELS ;________;
reminder that saying “I don’t like this pairing but the art is good” or any variation thereof is a shitty thing to do and is not a compliment
Uh, what? I’m pretty sure that saying ‘hey this art is so great it made me look at and admire a picture of a pairing I dislike’ is very much so a compliment.
Because it carries a value judgement that the content makes the piece inherently less valuable than if the content had been something else. It’s a bit like saying “Hey, that was a great throw for a girl! …wait why are you insulted? I’m trying to say even though I expected you not to be good because of/I wish you weren’t part of the group you’re associating with, you were so good I’m willing to overlook your participation in the group! But I still want to make it clear that I think that group is lesser than mine. Just so there’s no confusion.”
Basically, it makes the conversation not about the art, but about “My group against your group.” An opinion about the content is not, in fact, relevant to the technical skill of the art, and its only purpose is to make sure no one (including the artist) could mistakenly think the commenter ascribes to the wrong-thinking inherent in liking the pairing depicted.
Last time I checked saying ‘I don’t like this’ is not equal to ‘I think I’m better than you because I don’t like this.’
But then why would it be necessary to inform the artist that you don’t like it? Why not just say ‘the art is good,’ without the modifier of ‘I don’t like the content’? The only reason is to imply that their thinking is wrong, otherwise why feel the need to disclaim it at all?
What part of ‘this is so good it made me look at something I don’t normally like’ did you not understand did I not use fancy enough words for you.
What I’m trying to explain is that regardless of intentions, that is what it sounds like when I, personally, receive such comments. And just because that may be how you mean a comment like that, doesn’t mean it’s how everyone does. It sounds like a judgement, even if that isn’t the intention.
And putting that aside for a moment, there’s also the consideration that a person is drawing something for one of two reasons; either because they like it, or because they’re being paid for it. In the first case, it is kind of rude to say “I don’t like this thing you like” to someone who clearly likes it unless your intention is to discuss the merits of the content, and in the second, it’s rude to say the same to someone who has no control over the content at all.
