Some Kinda Brain Puddles: Seeing people get hate for drawing fanart really irks me.
You know, the kind of ‘why do you draw so much fanart omg you’re so good you’re wasting your talents’ stuff, and the ‘i see so many great artists but all they do is fanart and that’s really disappointing ew sellouts’ stuff.
It’s just kind of sad, I guess, that anyone will discredit someone as an…

I noticed a sudden surge of “is it okay to draw fanart??” pop up on my tumblr dash and, well- being someone who has been creating original works for years and who also draws fanart, I figured I’d toss in my two cents.
Drawing fanart is just another form of love. You love something enough to want to take part in it. There’s no shame in that.
Shows, games, comics, movies, etc. don’t just pop up out of thin air. I think a lot of Original Properties creators tend to forget that, on a much larger scale, fandoms have formed around someone else’s original ideas. You wouldn’t hate someone for drawing fanart of your characters, would you?
So take a seat, relax, and if you don’t like something- then don’t look. Common sense. More importantly, don’t let anyone else tell you that you can’t enjoy something just because they don’t share the same interest.

Guys… I am normally really good about not reblogging serious things on this blog (I like to think G&G is an upbeat blog), but people really need to see this video. I know this is a blog for our inner geeks, and this is totally unrelated, but I urge you all to watch this. It’s pretty short. -Kegan
Fuck, I totally put this on the wrong blog. Sorry guys, should shown you hours ago.
… DD: ALL MY CREYS!
I know it’s cliche for me to say that I don’t usually reblog things like these but I really have to give it up for this girl for being so courageous to admit her problem. I think we all can relate to how she feels one way or another.
Shit.
This may seem like something you’ve seen before, but it talks about a much deeper problem, one that affects us all and has been doing horrible things to our lives for a long, long time.
Take a couple minutes of your daily blogging to watch this, I swear you won’t regret giving your time to such a deep concern, to our youth.
that threw me off, wah
I’m in tears. So emotional.
This is pretty much me every night. .-.
