What I imagine went down was like… they saw how the USA reacted and decided that was probably the wrong way to do things. So while they’ve been cautious, they also have been making an effort to promote friendly monster-human relations. It also helps that there have been some previously hidden members of the fae community that have come out of hiding, and some of them are beloved celebrities. So there’s a lot of people in europe who are like “How can we deny citizenship to them?! I loved them in last year’s Eurovision! If anyone denies them their rights then I will riot!” …Of course those celebrities are putting huge targets on their backs by doing this, so most fae prefer to still remain hidden. So while there will always be people who fear monsters, the culture in most of Europe seems distinctly leaning in the monsters’ favor.
Really glad to see the fandom policing I was afraid of begin. Heres a reminder for y’all: Jack doesn’t have to make any more characters canon, that’s perfectly fine and okay. No one is asking for him to make more canon.
But let people have fun with non-canon Egos dammit. We aren’t and have never been hurting anybody by enjoying content for Robbie, Angus, Bing, Etc.
I don’t really see why people feel the need to shut this down. If @therealjacksepticeye sees this, can you help us stop the fandom policing that is starting to happen? Because I know I’m not the only one sick of going into tags and finding “friendly reminder there’s only 6 Egos uwu” posts.
Just because they aren’t canon doesn’t mean that people have to stop making content for them.
Ye! Its something I’ve noticed. I used to browse the Angus tag daily. There was always something to like or reblog. Now there might not be something new for a couple of days. And honestly it’s a little sad, my favorite ego is and always will be Angus. Just because Jack isn’t going to make more content for these characters intentionally. Doesn’t mean you have to put all your creativeness into a bottle. Egos are one of my favorite parts of this community, don’t let half of it die over this please.
Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.
Don’t do this. Do not.
I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.
Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes.
There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission).
And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund – email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!
As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation.
I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.
Very important!
As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.
