THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP AHHHHH

1. Whos your celebrity crush?

Jessie Mei Li, Amita Suman and literally every woman in the shadow and bone cast

I have a finsta, and I created it only because i couldnt keep reblogging shadow and bone pics on my main. Its literally a shadow and bone stan account.

But.... CAN YOU BLAME ME????

C an y o u r a i n?

4. Do you think its ok to separate the art from the artist?

Absolutely not, under no circumstances.

Let me explain

I am of the opinion the entire "separate art from the artist" idiology actually causes more problems than the mentality intends. You can absolutely enjoy media from problematic creators, nothing in this world can be 100% pure and not without its questionable aspects. No one is without fault, you can't go into media putting its creator in a pedastal and expecting a complete ethical person because you will sooner than later be dissapionted because these people are just human.

They will make mistakes, their media will sometimes screw up, and thats ok. Its when a creator refuses to awcknoladge or take fault for their mistakes that a problem comes in.

Its wrong to expect to perfection of a creator, but giving them the benefit of the doubt does not exempt them from critisism.

Wether its a simple mistake caused by ignorance, or inner bias the creator believes to be in the right. A work of art is a living breathing manifestation of a creator, and even if we rather pretend otherwise this creator opinions will be splattered all over their work, including any of these bias.

By saying you separate art from the creator I feel people deny the very problematic aspects of media, rather focusing on the good and thinking by denying the creator the bad aspects also dissapear.

Im not saying you can't enjoy problematic media. *points to my blog* id be quite a hypocrite if i said as such

But rather than denying the author, I think its much more validating to see both the artist and the art. Awcknoladge the bad, and love it regardless. It does a world of good for the marginalized groups being wronged by these types of media because by saying "separate art from artist" it just feels like people are putting blind folds all the problems within the material.

My only exeption for this rule would be when supporting said art is putting the marginalized people in danger in current time, someones life is worth more to me than some kind of media.

14. Oh!

Okok so idk the traductions in english so umm ajjdhfjfkf

So its a cortadito (little 6oz cup of black coffee)

But most time i add a lil bit of milk and sugar.

Also you definetly didnt ask for brand but, yes me and my family are addicts and we drive like 1 hour into mountain regions just to get mountain coffee. Yes were normal

16. If you had to get a tattoo rn, what would you get and where?

I promised my friend that if i ever did get a tattoo itd be a sun tattoo (cause they want a moon one) so...

Smth like this! And in that spot

23. If you could break one of your bad habits, which would you choose?

Oh my god so many!!

But rn? I guess I'd want to stop self sabotaging. I alwsys ruin things because of my insecurities. I wsnt to stop, I want to be avle to feel prpud of myself and stop denying myself things.

Oh and procrastinating

Pls brain let me-

Let me do things

29. What quote or inspirational setting do you think is bs?

Anything that romanticizes "hardwork" as an excuse to burn yourself out. Too many people growing up fed me all that inspuration that i need to work till i get the job done amd then ill feel better congrats now i feel useless if i cant finish things that make me miserable.

Hardwork =/ = burning out

Youre supposed to feel good about the challenge, not want to die.

32. How old do you get mistaken for?

In the words of my friend

"You know with your uniform if we werent friends id definetly mistake you for a middle schooler"

I am applying for college artie

36. What do you think youd be arrested for?

Not.if rain, when

When i get arrested for protesting against our current political status in the US......

I definetly will get arrested some day and im okay with that

My moms ready

39. Describe your aesthetic

I'm horrible at description but

Chaotic witch works i guess? Most my clothes are colorful (white/yellow/light blues) with lots of patterns and space jewerly?

My friends say my energy kinda radiates "luz from the owl house and leo valdez" do with that what you will

[go-team-snakemouth]

Super self indulgent Bug Fables YouTuber au (or what a random mishmash of characters’ channels would be)

Vi: literally does whatever she feels like. Hates clickbait so is very literal in naming and descriptions. Vlogs about missions (and complains when maki doesn't accept them as reports in the next vlog). Has a playlist of abandoned let's plays she started. The only completed game she's done was Mario 3d world with Leif and Kabbu (which was a feat in and of itself as Leif and Vi constantly sabotaged each other while Kabbu struggled with the course. Before anyone asks, Leif played as Princess Peach cause he likes the floating, Vi was Toad because he’s the fastest, and Kabbu switches back and forth between the brothers cause although he likes Luigi, he is slippery to control). Liable to disappear for long periods of time and her fans like to tease that you can find her on Leif's channel more

Leif: Let's plays and food challenges. The game recordings are pretty nice thanks to Vi but Leif consistently sounds like they're standing far away from the mic. Mostly chill but Leif gets. Very into voicing characters and the storylines. Also Very looooong livestream videos. Vi is a frequent guest (KabbuWatch is an injoke with the chat because Kabbu usually stops the stream if Leif has been going too long). Mostly plays older games but he does Minecraft for Tod.

Kabbu: Educational videos to encourage people to explore and learn more about the world! Also does some storytime and safety videos. Kabbu puts a lot of effort into them but also he does use clip art and the cheering sound effect unironically. He collaborates frequently with Neo and his channel! Has a small playlist where he reviews Bug Rangers things. (also has a single let's play upon request that was him playing a free mahjong app calmly and quietly for forty minutes)

Neo: Kabbu's channel but more advanced and in-depth topics. Also unironically uses the cheering sound effect. Usually just lecture style recordings of him talking with a whiteboard instead of edited videos. Unfortunately his most watched video was one where someone broke into his house while he and Kabbu were recording (Kabbu fought them off and then they continued discussing the effects of invasive plant life in the local area like they hadn't been interrupted)

Jaune: art Time-lapses babeyyyy. Vi helped her set up and helps edit her videos (vi puts more effort into Jaune's videos than her own shh). rarely posts but always a treat. Got a huge boost after she did some art for a Mothiva album.

Mothiva: Official channel with lots of live performances and music videos! She has... Influencer energy in her vlogs. Many clickbait. But honestly a lot of good vibes and a mostly good community?? She highlights fanworks and makes sure her stuff is accessible too. Despite some drama about properly crediting work and that she can be petty at times, she works hard on her image. Be sure to like and subscribe!

Zasp: Runs a Mothiva fan account that makes high quality amvs and such. Mothiva is aware of the account but doesn't know it's him and he fears when she finds out. Leif knows but does not care.

Kut: professional as hell cooking asmr videos. Does not consider then asmr. (Fry does not care and Crisbee prefers to bake rather than make.)

Crow: Hearthstone. Brings Leif in sometimes to discuss strategies.

Team Maki: Kina does story time vlogs and records Maki sword demonstrations. Upon her request, Maki made an account too. All he has done is upload videos of caterpillars he's found. He met and became friends with Yin over mutual bonding of caterpillars to Kina's distress. Yin has a channel now and also posts caterpillar videos to Kina’s further distress.

Tanjerin: strange tofu-chan-esque workout challenge channel on tiktok. No one is sure if ironic or not.

Gen and Ari: run the local explorer association’s youtube page! Running it is actually part of their job and they do it really well. Very snappy editing and shows off work done well. Accidentally turned Artis into a meme for a week (small playlist dedicated to when they catch other guild members recording themselves. Mothiva and vi are the most frequent offenders)
