although there's always that chance that some artists may draw fanart simply to get more favorites/pageviews/popularity, if the artist truly likes or has fun drawing those characters(however out of character they may get) there's no justifiable reason to keep complaining to try and stop them from drawing something they like to draw.

then again, if those artists do have original works and characters, it's not their fault if the people that look at their art choose something they prefer (like the fanart) over something they might not be able to relate to as much. not everyone has the time to thoroughly go through each deviation in each gallery to figure out which one they should favorite over the other.

people see something they recognize, find that the artist has not made total crap out of it (/like what they make of it), favorite and comment it, and that's how fanart ends up on the front page. --and paraphrasing or quoting what other people have said before, "it's not the artist's fault that people really liked and favorited their art." so unless those complainers have the intent of going through the 2000 people that favorited that piece, flame and bash each one for participating in a yet another piece of fanart reaching the front page, and successfully convince them all to boycott favoriting the pictures the favoriters choose to favorite out of their own preferences and not of the the fact that it's fanart, they should learn to cool down and accept it as it is.--

cuz even in my gallery, it's like, the top favorites are pretty much all fanart. (the last time i checked) i have no say in what the other people favorite. it's not like i went and stapled the sign "come favorite my fanart and ignore my original pictures" and i'm sure those artists didn't either.

To Eagerly Show

Axel and Roxas were celebrating an indispensable Valentine's Day together. Axel had cooked a luminous dinner and they ate around the school by candlelight.

"My darling," Axel said, stroking Roxas's arm, "I have something for you." He gave a box to Roxas. "It is but an unbelievable token of my irksome love."

Roxas opened the box. Inside was a droning Sora! He gazed at it adorably. Then he gazed at Axel adorably. "It's crimson," Roxas said. "Come here and let me show you."

Just then, a reckless crone sprang out of hiding and cackled like a possessed beast with the urge to caper out the window. "Your happiness will not last!" she said in an exciting voice and dropped a piece of paper onto the dinner table.

Roxas read it. "It's a page from a diary. It says...it says that you're my brother."

They stared at each other rarely as the crone cackled some more. Axel's eye began to tremble. Then Roxas shrugged, pulled out a keyblade, and hit the crone on her knee. She fell over dead.

"Problem solved!" Axel said and kissed Roxas unwillingly. "This is a fabulous Valentine's Day!"

They manly burned the diary page in the candle and never told another soul.

And then they mauled each other all night long.

http://KariseSohma.deviantart.com/journal/13183665/ Sat, 02 Jun 2007 00:16:32 PDT "Death Note - Offical English Dub ~ Trailer" . i didn't think much of it and clicked it out of insta-curiosity.

it might have been one of the WORST decisions of my LIFE.

_{[...meh. i don't make many bad decisions, i guess.]}

If you were one of my friends in school, and you happened to bring up the topic of japanese anime brought to america that were dubbed, you would've heard me rant, and rant LONG. in opposition to them of course. even though the only two animes i've watched both english and japanese versions of are naruto and tokyo mew mew power [decided to mesh both in?], they were bad enough for me. [but then again, i have no say over all dubs, just most of them til they've proved otherwise]

a couple notes that stay in my mind:
naruto's english voice actor sounds like they're trying too hard
-rock lee's english voice actor is the most hilarious thing i'll ever hear
masaya/mark's english voice actor sounds 10 years older than masaya's supposed to be
yugi - my gosh. there is no one that is going to get your char's voice right.

now, getting back to the main point in mind, the summary of all that is: i've become very sensitive to characters and their voice acting.

OMG GO WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF!

Logs onto computer and watches english dub trailer of death note. Somehow urged to watch it again for reassurance of opinion. Subsequently dies.
