Poe!! Still Figuring Out How To Draw In My Style

Poe!! Still figuring out how to draw in my style

I've seen a number of posts where the OPs are taking fans to task for mourning the way their fandoms have been marred by the revelations about Neil Gaiman.

And yeah, what Gaiman's victims went through was way worse, and we should be supporting them and doing what we can where we are to make sure that sexual assault is no longer a thing in our world.

But fans are also entitled to have their own feelings about this. It's okay to feel sad and angry and grossed out and confused when you learn that your favorite creator, who you thought was a decent human being, is a serial sexual predator. It's okay to wonder aloud how you're now going to relate to the media that person created, because it's okay that that media actually meant and/or continues to mean something to you.

Being upset about shocking news is a normal reaction, and it's okay to talk about how it made you feel. Admitting what you're feeling in this situation doesn't take anything away from the victims, but remaining silent about how you feel doesn't do anything to help them, either.

If anything, stating publicly that you are disturbed, angry, confused, or whatever other emotion about Neil Gaiman's behavior and about his work is sending a message to media companies that Gaiman is now tainted goods and that they shouldn't work with him anymore.

Oda didn't let Cora and Belle-mere meet in canon because they'd be too iconic of a duo

Palestine campaigns with under a thousand donations

Trying a new tactic with the fundraisers on my pinned list. These campaigns appear to gain a lot more traction when the number of donations hits a thousand, so here's a way to highlight those that could use more. These have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr. Just like the main list, I'll keep you all updated with how things progress, and as always, if you can't donate, reblog.
