um, you seem really unneededly irritated about this

[kallanda_lee]

I feel like if anything, art is underpaid.
Sure, there's a lot of art for free...but that's from passion & generosity and other people are allowed to want compensation for time & effort spent? You're equally free to not want to donate into that model but they're free to try. If they're doing a lot of this, I guess someone's paying...

[(Anonymous)]

You know, a lot of the time I like the cropped art more than the whole thing. I've never paid for it, but I follow accounts where artists post their cropped art and drop a link to their personal sites where one can see the full thing. The art's never bad, but IDK, there's just something about the cropped version. I like the example you posted in your secret, OP, because my eyes are drawn to their lips and where their hands are, but I dunno if I'd enjoy the full version.

It's wild how fandom went from "we make no profit" to begging for money via various cash app links and on Patreon and OnlyFans.

[feotakahari]

Far be it from me to endorse piracy, but if the cropped art is porn, it’s almost certainly on Exhentai.

(Blackshirtboy once showed up in a /d/ thread of pirated Blackshirtboy art. He posted a drawing of him glaring.)

Even though I know this is all still part of the social media world where people now earn their living profiting directly or indirectly from the IP of others, I still find myself in the mindset that fandom is what you do for love, not because you can see a potential market and want to cash in on something popular.

If you need to monetize your activities through an established fan base, for whatever reason, I think we need to start acknowledging that it's not exactly a fan work. It's more the transitional stage between fandom and having a professional career - and I'm sure everyone can point to both authors and artists who've moved on to that level.

The issue of copyright is a whole other thing, though putting works behind paywalls such as patreon might also be an attempt to circumvent that. But I don't really know enough about how that works because I have to prioritise my subscription spending.

Jesus the anatomy in this picture is laughingly bad.

I thought it was just the AH reference.

This picture is kind of perfect!

Honestly, I half expected Achilles and Patroclus to start feeding each other figs with their toes when they were hanging out in Chiron’s pink cave of sexual awakening.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, Song of Achilles. Full of mommy issues, ultra violence, and lovingly detailed descriptions of feet.

...you know, as much as I dislike the man, this might be the movie that Quentin Tarantino was born to make?

Admittedly, I try to steer clear of shipping discourse, but I’m not sure I understand this.

I've thought about doing this too, but it's been a million years and I don't think anybody actually cares, do they? Maybe for more well-known accounts, but mine was always tiny.

Now I am genuinely wondering why. I'm VERY picking in writing style, but his I can actually stand.

Dream Merch

[(Anonymous)]

Has there ever been a merchandise you would love to have has never been made?

For me I would love to have a T-shirt of Garak from DS9 - but I have never liked any of the fan made ones and especially not the 'official shirt' with just his shop sign.
