It’s funny how in the Steven Universe fandom I’ve seen the take that “you can’t ship StevenXSpinel because Spinel acts like a child” and ALSO “you can’t ship Steven X Spinel because Spinel is 1000 years old!”. Like make up your minds lmao. The first one is hilarious for obvious reasons, but the second one is pretty funny too. Don’t antis usually have the opposite reasoning? That you can’t ship the 1000 year old loli with adults because they’re actually a child? It’s almost like their logic changes based on who they want to harass.
Anyways although personally I prefer the platonic trauma-buddy version, all Spinel X Steven ships are super adorable and I wish everybody who ships them a great day.
People on Tumblr/Twitter are being way too weird about working artists on tv shows. Knock it off.
I've been quietly in this industry for almost 6 years now, and I have to say y'all are WAY too entitled to what working artists do online and the art that they create, especially if it's the art they do in their free time.
If you're on the internet demanding an artist be fired because of the art they draw on their personal accounts??? That's insane and highly invasive behavior. What an artist draws in their free time and for fun is none of your business, nor is it the supervising artist/director's business. Any professional director will be staying out of the artist's non-professional work, and any professional artist keeps their work and leisure art separate, no matter the content.
If the storyboard/rough anim/cleanup artist is following directions, doing their assigned shots (not scenes every single scene is worked on by multiple artists stop going after one person for one scene), and working well with their team members, then you can assume their personal art is not "bleeding in" to their professional work and they are, in fact, able to keep the two separate.
"The personal art is proship/SA glorification/gives me the ick" I DON'T CARE. Don't interact with it, that's not your business, if it's triggering you don't engage with it. Get out of that artist's DMs and mind your own business, what they draw for fun is their choice and has nothing to do with their careers. The art depicted isn't real and isn't harming anyone in real life, you need to calm down.
Remember when SU crit was happening?? Remember when the internet decided to bully Lauren Zuke for the harmless art they drew for fun with characters they worked on?? Remember how they ended up leaving the show and art altogether because of that?? We are NOT going to repeat that. It's just a tv show, calm down.

For @julianobungus c: thank you for being so awesome! Hope you love this!
everybodys all lets condemn people with Morally Impure Interests until all of a sudden you have an interest that is suddenly considered Impure and wanes in and out of Public Opinion for many years because nobody actually knows how to think for themselves online. personally i think we'd all be very lonely if we chose and broke friendships based on.... What Video Games They Like and like absolutely nothing else regarding the person's character
