“Isn’t it funny how Mother Earth is in blazes because some moron cowardly animals, who know no humbleness and think they can force their sick tyranny onto people, worship paper and metal as gods…”

Happy Pride everyone!

I brought you a bit of original character redesigning, made of a lioness, a dilophosaurus with frills and other.

One of the possible four races/subspecies in my silly little world for my story.

TWELFTH CHAPTER of Concealed Behind Pride is out on AO3

What is “Concealed Behind Pride”?

‘Concealed Behind Pride’ is a Greek mythology modern detective alternative universe (fanfiction written by mircsy) — inspired by Arcane, A Way Out, EPIC: The Musical and a little PJO — where the stern Detective Diomedes must work together with the ex-gang member and sly culprit Odysseus in order to save his carrier.

I’d be honoured if you did it🥹

This.

We, artists, interact with each other on a daily basis, either in text or call (or both). It genuinely disgusts me to see how disrespectful and immature some people allow themselves to act online, to act with my friends.

I understand when someone doesn’t like a design, ship, art style or interpretation etc. Like, my gosh, I really wish I could erase my memory of the jetpack-windbag from the official “600 Strike” animation, or Odysseus’ red eyes in the song “Odysseus”, those visuals are JORGE’s ideas and NOT the artist’s who he commissioned, or that Jorge decided to add the mention of SA in “Hold Them Down”, while it was not in the original source, or the way he portays Calypso. (Yet people complain when artists don’t stay “canon”) Yes, Jorge took plenty of artistic liberties while writing this musical. And that is completely OK. Do I go around talk shit about him, spread dreadful misinformation about him, label him as a bad person because I don’t specifically like these changes? No. I still appreciate the hard work he put into the songs, the music, the thoughts behind them, and I accept the way he sees the songs, or I come up with sensible and respectful arguments/constructive critisism why I don’t like something. Or simply accept that it’s not my cup of tea and don’t interact with it to get rid of content I dislike.

Not like those who talk hateful about artists who make their own interpretation of the songs, or when they create something original they get told to go back and work on EPIC content. Or like those who are hateful towards Stories from Styx, because they had expected a second EPIC, while Casper emphasized SEVERAL TIMES that it will NOT be like Jorge’s creation. SfS is a completely different genre, which requires different type of voices, different instruments, different techniques of singing, plus it is the first musical our dear friend Casper ever wrote. And did he use the same artists who Jorge used? Yes, BECAUSE we are NOT “EPIC artists” who are Jorge’s property, we are all individuals who can join and leave, and create in any fandom/topic we want. It’s as if these people had said “How dare Robert Downey Jr. play Sherlock Holmes in the movies, he is a Marvel actor”. But I, and many other artists, have talked about this already enough. And guess what? Even though I loved working with Jorge, I enjoyed working with Casper more. Wild? Not really.

Casper showed he cares about the artists he commissioned. He made us a place where we can interact and help each other too, which made work so much less stressful. He cares so much he is even trying to help us dissolve this hate that reaches some of us, artists. Ryan’s advice about the algorythm and “block the hateful people and move on” is good. Correct, that really is how the algorythm works. But it misses the whole point why we reached out in the first place.

He can talk about community management, but it is not the SfS fandom that is full of immature and toxic people, who I question if they have ever been in fandoms. It is the EPIC fandom. And just like any other fandoms, it will have dark sides, people in the fandom WILL USE dark topics to create fan made content. And for many people it is a coping mechanism. (See sharpwolf ship. Those people who write about this toxic relationship, while themselves are victims, it’s like vent art for them. Helps them understand their own emotions. And also, not every Telemachus x Antinous work is connected to EPIC, keep that in mind. Greek mythology exists outside EPIC)

It just seems that a large part of the EPIC fandom loves the musical. But not the artists, writers, other creators who technically made it popular, those who technically carry the musical on their backs to the top with their fan (or even official) work… And those who could change that, those whose words would be listened to (not just heard), they step back and watch.

But that’s okay. Block those who hate and move on. Right?

Now here’s a fact. If the self entitled kids who spread hate don’t get regulated by someone who they most likely would actually listen to (*glances at the creator of EPIC*), artist will take the advice and will move on. Completely. Because of these people we started loosing enthusiasm over creating EPIC content.

hi guys! just letting you know in response to being notified about an uptick of hate and negativity in the epic fandom (mostly on tiktok) , Ryan Donaldson, the main business strategist of the EPIC team, has issued a statement essentially saying its the creator's fault that they experience so much hate because they drive the algorithm to give them more hate comments by responding to it.

Nowhere in the video does he say that he doesn't condone this sort of behavior, which is weird considering that he was a large contributor in creating and curating the fandom. He repeatedly pushes the idea of 'banning and moving on,' saying that Stories from Styx experiences more hate because Casper responds to hateful comments and implies that he may have hired "abusive collaborators" (whatever that means). Nowhere in this video does he talk about the role of the audience in defining the behavior of a fandom space. Ryan then plugs epic by talking about how positive everyone involved in the project is . Generally a dogshit response

Ryan is @ tiktokdungeonmaster on well. Tiktok

Hello!! WolfytheWitch just recently reposted their Troy and Cyclops saga videos with the updated audio. I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing the same? (And also what would it cost me for you to do Remember Them so I could just have a full Mircsy Cyclops saga???)

I’ve been planning to do that for a long time now, I actually have a Youtube post about it, I just never get there.

I eventually want to do a Remember Them animatic AND so many more, I am just in my last year at highschool, I’ll graduate in less than a month and studying for the finals in a messed up education system where half of the teachers are incompatible has been consuming all my motivation to do anything.

But, not going to lie, also the fandom’s attitude toward artists make me consider if I want to continue posting art of this musical…

[mircsy]

It was a pleasure and honour to work with you @imcasperfox !!

“WE LOVE PATHETIC MEN” we all say in unison - Thank you for this stunning visual @mircsy 🫐

[mircsy]

You are right in this case, I apologise, I should have phrased that part differently.

Obviously those who have experienced such things are NOT overreacting. But still, personal trauma doesn’t make it right to spread hate towards those who might like it/find the dynamic interesting. And in cases I’ve seen, the hate went towards the person who likes the ship and gets labelled as a bad person themselves. By oversentivive people I mean those who have no good reason, simply just decided to be hateful, because these noises were louder.

I’m not saying that you cannot criticize this ship, you can say about it whatever you’d like. I just believe that even while deeply disliking something, people could still be respectful and civilized when giving critique and argument without prejudice.

Sharpwolf?😔😓

I could draw them, even write my own fanfic about them, because I think the ship can be taken to interesting directions. The reason why I won’t is because of the people who are oversensitive about this Telemachus x Antinous ship and I don’t want, nor have the energy to deal with the stupid hate thats source is ignorance, the fact that many take the EPIC adaptation with the mention of SA canon and most likely have never read the Odyssey (in which Telemachus is a sassy bad b!tch and literally tells Penelope in front of the suitors to go back to her room and work), and that they try to pull today’s norm onto the 12th century B.C. Also that many don’t consider Telemachus a 20 year old

Redesigning Odysseus? Maybe… Giving him fox features? Maybe… (still in need of proper clean up and fixes)

Thank you @simoondraws for correcting the face anatomy🫶
