OH WOW DID I JUST POST FANART????? YES I DID. I'm after finding myself becoming VERY interested in Hermitcraft, mainly watching Joel/Smallishbeans' POV of the newest season :] Where do I even start with Joel??? He's funny, I mean REALLY funny (imo), I dunno what it is but everytime he uploads a new vid I'm always so excited to see it. Seriously he may be one of my favourite youtubers at the moment.

Soooooo I drew his MC skin! I also saw many people drawing their own designs/takes on the hermits and figured I do the same myself! It's not much, but I did things like adding antennas (kinda referencing the fact his mc skin was Shrek) and just in general adding green accented accessories. I'm not that confident when it comes to drawing humans, mainky cuz my style isn't built for it, but I REALLY enjoyed this whole process and I think this piece has made me feel a little bit more happy with how I draw people :]. I definitely wanna get to drawing Grian and Scar, I've been watching their POVs too and I just love their skins so I gotta draw them. ESPECIALLY SCAR'S, I love his hat for some reason, I dunno why but the hat is so cool. I've just been ping-ponging between Hermitcraft and Alton Towers for the past few weeks which is FUN. I do wanna add more variety to this account as it is soooooo drawing some hermits seems like a good start :] Also this is completely random but still on topic sort of- buuut do keep in mind if I go on about funny scenarios with the hermits, I'm mainly going on about the characters they portray in the series and not the real people behind them! I feel I should clarify this cuz sometimes there's a bit of an awkward thing to distinguish when it comes to stuff like this.

10 Anti LO Asks

1. You know the header image placed at the beginning of every episode (portrait of P on the left, black and white sketch of HxP in the middle, portrait if H on the right)? The full image of the sketchier version of the black and white drawing (the version used in older episodes) is actually smut (you can see it on 4chan)… You’d think RS would at least make a minimal effort to hide her agenda to sexualise everything but nOoOoO

From OP, not Anon: Ngl, that shocked me when I first found that out

2. the same-face syndrome in this series is something else, I swear. legitimately couldn't tell Apollo and Eros apart for the longest time. all male and female characters are drawn with the exact same faces. it gets really annoying honestly

3. I don't know if this bothers anyone else (maybe it's just me) but it seems like the characters' facial expressions can be really... off at times? Like, characters will be drawn smiling in situations where it'd make no sense for them to be smiling? And be drawn with vacant expressions in inappropriate times?

Like how (spoiler) Daphne is drawn with a smile when Apollo turns her into a tree (?) when she should have looked terrified???

As an artist who specializes in facial expressions, the ones in LO legitimately throw me off at times.

4. Something that kind of weirds me out about LO is that both Hades and Persephone are kind of awful people (like literally. Slavery, murder, greed, etc.) but it's not portrayed as a bad thing?? at all, really??? Other than a "That's terrible!" here and there, the full weight of what these two characters do doesn't get addressed and is even excused?

And we as the readers are still supposed to believe these two are the good guys? Hades is the king of the underworld, he can do horrible stuff and get away with it. And we already know Persephone won't have to face the consequences of her actions -_-

Imo, this whole story would make more sense if these two were villains/descending into villainy, but that's obviously not what RS is planning.

5. This isn’t a critique I just wanna know if something went over my head, but when Zeus tells Hades to go be king and take Kronos with him Demeter shows up and Zeus and Demeter walk away. Was that suppose to be about Hera getting torn in half or just something we don’t know yet

From OP, not Anon: Maybe something we don’t know about since Demeter and Zeus don’t have a good relationship.

6. After reading the latest chapter where Hades drones on and on to a crying Persephone about how he'll take care of her and get her everything she needs and she'll have a footman waited on her, a apartment with a great view, etc etc.

It really puts into perspective how spoiled she actually is. Like, that chapter was almost hard to read. 

7. Why does RA draw so much porn? It’s so uncomfortable how most of her fans are underage yet she doesn’t even bother to hide the fact that she makes NSFW content 

From OP, Not Anon: Tbf, RS did have her nsfw behind a paywall. I don’t expect creators to hide that they make nsfw, especially since they don’t have much control over their audience. Nsfw is how a lot of webtoon creators make money after all. RS already stopped using patreon though so I haven’t seen her post nsfw or anything that couldn’t be considered artistic nudity in a while.

8. Anybody else notice how Persephone is always portrayed almost as a poor, lower class god who's worked in the fields instead of lived in luxury? "Oh, poor her!"? BUT we have, if my memory serves me, NO actual lower class characters at all?

I don't know if I'm making much sense, but basically the only reason Persephone seems like such an underdog is because RS hasn't introduced a character who has it worse than her. Despite that there are people living in literal slavery while she's living it up?

From OP, not Anon: Nymphs, satyrs, and other mythical beings are lower class in LO. The gods would be considered middle/upper class so yeah.

9. wasnt the original hymn about the power of women and a mother defending her daughter from a cruel marriage by standing up to men and bringing the world to its knees until they finally took her seriously? like thats feminist to me, not claiming persephone loved her kidnapper and demeter is a big bitch for trying to stop it. im not saying making hxp not full of sexual assault is bad, i'd much rather read that, but demonizing demeter for the sake of a man and a heterosexual romance aint it, chief.

10. I love how lo fanart always depicts hades as some young male model as if rachel isnt very open that she designed him off mads and his depiction of hannibal? like maybe they know if they drew him like a 55+ year old man like rachel intended they might realize hes a creep for wanting to bang a baby faced 19 year old.

I think saying Amy Rose is the only character that likes Sonic is a bit disengenuous, Tails clearly does like him, but Tails has been going more and more ignored over time, where in Sonic Boom he's just comic relief, which IMO is kind of an insult, writers could do SO MUCH with Tails but they choose not to. Maybe it's just me liking to think Tails is queer-coded since he's probably the most likable, non-masc character in Sonic's ensemble, and that me wanting the writers to play that up is bad...

To be honest, I’m kind of at a loss for what to say here. In my early days on the internet, the whole “Sonic and Tails are gay lovers” thing was pitched as a joke, and for that I hated it. In the last five or ten years, I’ve begun to realize that for some people that is a legitimate point of interest and reconciling that has been a weird process for me. Not because I think homosexuality is wrong, but because younger-me had definitively had it beaten in to him that “Sonic x Tails” is something nobody would ever want. But I realized a long time ago that in the context of anyone being able to ship everything, that doesn’t make much sense. So reconciling that has been weird.

And maybe, on some level, I don’t like “I’ve decided this character is gay now”? Because in some aspects, like with Tails, they’ve given him stories with love interests. The relationship Tails shares with Cosmo was the pivot in which the entire second series of Sonic X revolved around. There was a whole thing with a character named Fiona in the Archie comics where she had a thing with Tails, then she had a thing with Sonic, and then she turned out to be sorta evil and there was a lot to play off of there. And, more recently, there has been at least one Sonic Boom episode where Tails has a crush on a girl.

So, like, I don’t want to deny your feelings. You’re entitled to those. And that kind of representation is important. It would be nice if Sonic officially had more characters that were openly gay!

But at the same time, you’re kind of going against the grain here, y’know? You’re waiting for something that will probably never happen in an official capacity. And should it happen officially? Should it invalidate thousands of images of fanart, and hundreds of thousands of pages of fanfiction, just to stop servicing one type of fan for another? Yes, personal discoveries are a thing that happens, people realize new things about themselves all the time, and Tails is young enough for something like his sexuality to be unrealized, but… I dunno. Characters are creations, not real people, and creations usually serve a mechanical function within a story. Tails seems pretty established already. You can be friends, even partners, without being lovers.

Am I wrong? Is this making me sound like a jerk? Am I just putting down a big “NO FUN ALLOWED” sign? I guess I just don’t understand pining for a connection that has a 95% chance of never happening. I mean, that’s WHY fanfiction exists – yeah, shifting the official stance is one thing, but I’m sure there’s also probably a lot of content out there that’s already about Tails being gay. Why cause yourself so much anguish when you could just bury yourself in a nice cozy headcanon?

Ugh, I feel like everything I just said is a bad thing.
