ok sorry but idgi when people get mad about other people tagging their art as kin/id/whatever tbh, and you see it all the time... i guess its a matter of preference/perspective on the one hand and on the other sure like maybe if it is a deeply personal piece or a personal portrait or something i get it feels a lil weird .but on another simultaneous level is it not kind of kind of deeply cool that someone—a stranger! another human person out there in the world!—saw your art and identified w it on that powerful of a level !

#like sorry if it 'cringe' i guess ? i think it's neat but that is just my perspective ! anyway #idk i have had ppl tag my art w/ like. other characters. their own ocs. kin/id/etc. i lived. i guess if it got circulated broadly in associ #ation w/ that other random thing that wld kind of suck. but like... bro as the artist u do not exercise control over the audience. actually #like. *drake and josh meme* you do not control the viewer. your are the author... u are dead uwu u can struggle w that if u want #imo it's kind of cool. but then i think the people who get vocal abt this stuff are usually approaching the question of viewer interaction #through more of a lens towards policing interactions among strangers on the internet. which is a pretty big & different bag of worms altoge #ther. i would say. but that is getting very far away from the point which is to say i do not mind… (& i think the idea of minding is—well !#a little silly.#)#.txt
