Welp after (nearly) THAT month is over, its astonishing what stuff happend over this one. Let me count some stuff up so yu guys see that, sometimes, if i come up with new "ID" pictures and like, they sometimes have a deeper meaning than you might think or guess - or why the way to look at stuff is like "why the f is my eye twitching THAT hard right now?"

*ahem* Shall we~?

- First of all, i had a talk with another artist on NG. This artist is not artist in the way you think it is, its stealing content from others, uses them to promote her Youtube, uses copyrighted characters for their patreon and worst of all, she thinks shes better than anyone else, marking people and giving them "no rights" to say something if youre "not known".

OH BOY! That sounds like a great start already right? XD

Look, people with this ratio of an ego cant be taken real, i know that, but it still hurts if those people "try". As sample, she counted up how many followers n sheat she has but again, i checked and she even used videos and shorts which are created from OTHER, better known artists - so yes, basically shes stealing content and than tries to mark and mock other peoples down. Logic much :3

Im not naming her here "right now" buuuuuuuut lets say if you know about NG and what i talked about, you might now anyway *coughs*

Im not upset about it but already that kind of "talk" let me think about how people dont get it sometimes how "art" or "artists" work.

Stealing other peoples content, creations and like doesnt make you and artist. "You" will always be 2nd because you try to hunt something the original artist of your "art" doesnt create BUT has: fame and money. YOU in the other hand only try to get a piece of the whole action. If you think you draw/similar and got followers, jokes on you. The people which follow you wanna see only more from the characters they like to see, NOT your art. If they would follow YOU for YOUR art and YOUR creations, you could earn a dime with only YOUR creations - said ORIGINAL creators of the content YOU use actually have and YOU dont.

This is a reason why i dont try to use copyrighted content to much - or at least dont try to use something without permissions which isnt mine. Sure, again, i do have my characters like Lemina and the Spies Ms Fire and Fuse which are clearly based on an original counterpart - but they are B A S E D on something, literally fan characters and (SO FAR) i never used them to earn a dime or something with them.

Do i maybe try to excuse myself with that now? Take it as you want but, its a different pair of shoes if you "use" something because you enjoy it and its a childhood memory or you "USE" something only because you wanna earn money with it. Give it a minute to think about.

The other thing i had was this years..."pride month" in some way...*shivers*

You might noticed that i had a look-out (so to speak) from my FA account for a week. Without going into deep details (because 1. i dont wanna roll up the whole thing again and 2. i just dont wanna tell to much) here but the thing IS...

As of late it feels like FA, as for the one sample, is less and less welcoming, so to say, to people OUTSIDE of "the" spectrum.

People which follow me or even take a tour over my profile, as for a REAL good sample, know some things already:

- Im straight

- I dont mind other sexualities because i dont "care" about it

- I do have a lot stories about sexualites in the past - some good some worse (that said: i DO have samples and prooves of that in some of my galleries IF needed)

AND a small disclaimer before i go it: What i gona try to say can and sure will be missunderstood by some people. This will not 100% my intention but marking down that im also not PERFECTLY SPEAKING english because im from germany is ONE thing to take note for and that i dont call myself a "homophobe" or similar. PLEASE read the words clearly before you go "pissed off" mode or ask me should be something NOT CLEAR or MISSUNDERSTOOD, Ok? (I already feel wierd writting a disclaimer for that part but yea) - SHOULD i DO break a Rule/COC or similar, i didnt want to nor is it my intention. I tired to read them (of the FA page) and dont wanna create a movement, hurt someone, creating an opinion, etc. I hope you guys know what i mean and TAKE YOUR TIME to understand "what" i try to actually tell here. This will sure also be a wall of text so dont just "fly" over it and complain later about something only read 30% of wile the other 70% you missed actually explain the situation and "why".

Thanks in advance.

*ahem*

I think the biggest problem is that pride month isnt anymore "that" what is suppost to be.

I have friends which are on the spectrum from gays, bisexual to lesbians and even trans people which are all great people and i hang with them around, some IRL and some in Discord and like. Its really nice to talk about such stuff with such people because its not just nice to hear the "other point of view" but hear the struggles and stories. Sharing is caring and i do care of my friends and they are here for me as well when ever i ask them.

The problem "IS" though that all of them seem from another, how do i say that..., "generation". Some even as old as me or even a bit older. They look at pride month with a different point of view here, mostly, so i would say, in the same way I do - MOSTLY because they also "had" to and still do it up to this day.

For that kind of generation (i have no other word for that right now, excuse me) i got a video or clip which i will use because it explains the thing pretty well (so i think) how my friend and I think about this whole situation - said here, its in german and finding something "similar" in english...ouch, give me a break. If you can translate that it might help others understand:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oVFihQbPBAA

(thanks to a friend of me for sharing this one)

If i would try to "sum up" this video clip is that me and most of my friends are people which are maybe clearly "out of touch" with the next generation (im sure that people would call us nowadays) but my friends were from the roots of this whole movement, the core, the base like the "pink corner" or "bi but not different". I know (and heard them talk about) that some were going to talk to their bosses, going out of the streets and W E R E righting for their equal rights, to be respected and didnt feel excluded from the whole system of the so called "normal people". They fought and helped building up the situation that people like them are equally handled like "normal" people and that they dont be the outsiders anymore for "what" they are. They got respected at the end (at least most of them "are") for that they are - because they did it the right way.

They wanted to be equal.

And i think that tries this video (AND ME) to tell you people. Listen, this is sure not an excuse here and im sure some people already be like "what a bigot" "this is breaking COC of this side stop NOW!" and sure more stuff and words which DO hurt at least my side. Yes, Now the whole situation in this pride spectrum feels like changed, not only like because of the whole "fighting for your rights thing" but more because people seem really to forget for what pride month "was" intended for. For the people to be equal, not to be outsiders anymore, to be handled the same as anybody else, all that.

But if you look to my friends and all the samples i said, most of my friends are not members of this whole LGBQ+ (sorry i dont know the actual name of it right now) side. Again, they are maybe from a different sexuality and gender point but feel like the side, the movment itself, misses the point nowadays "what" pride month was for.

And i even got that, as for one real life story of mine, i DID infact fought for someones rights infront of their bosses building, as STRAIGHT person for a friend of mine which was GAY so keep that please in mind. Long story short, i did that because i wanted his boss to handle him like anyone else in this building, he shouldnt care if he was gay because in his job, that doesnt and SHOULDNT matter - and glady for my old friend, he won and we are both proud of what we did up to this day (you know how i mean that i hope). He surly felt equal now with his co-workers. He got the same threadment like anyone else now, he wasnt anymore the outsider or something. He was "one" with the others and felt like he was good there now.

And this is the problem nowadays not just my friends and I have, A lot others - and i really really MEAN a lot here in germany as well - see that such people in the said LGBQ+-wing feel like they dont "want" to be "equal" anymore but actually special and standing literally OVER the others, and not equal WITH THEM on the same area or "level" (so to speak).

They use words which ARE intended to hurt or mark others (even if they dont count as "slur") with a different opinion like said "Bigot", mark them as different or "problem of the system" - even calling outs the said older members (like my friends) which DID fight for their rights back in the day to actually work "TOGETHER" with the crowd and NOT working against them as they feel a lot LGBQ+ people actually DO AND ACT like nowadays with problems like gendering, over-compliecating sexuality systems and morking peoples opinion down by remarking them and/or similar.

AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS: They are doing it by themselves but blaming others.

Look, if you are (sample!) a trans man and want to be respected for what you are, There is no problem with that. I dont mind it nor SHOULD others. You are what you are no matter if youre male, female or other, different gender, what ever race, religion or what ever - at the end we are all human and shouldnt be different at all, right (i really hope i made this point here clear what i mean or try to say here, dont take it out of context)?

Though,

if you "WANT" to be different handled BECAUSE you are what you are, that is a different story to be taken. You dont want to be equally handled anymore but different and special of how or what you are. You try to create a line here, a "wall" (basically) others tried to fight against (with and for) to "be" created, which makes you different BECAUSE you "think" you ARE different from the rest, calling yourself "trans man" and everyone with a different opinion is a "bigot" and you only stay with your "quier" (is that how you write that? Im really sorry i dont know ^^;) people, differentiate yourself AND this people FROM the people which DO try to respect you for what you are but marking them down for what they actually try.

There is a differance to be make here and i try to stay with/go with the sample (here said i tried to fidn the rights word for it, bare with me):

If you ARE a trans man and you ARE in the situation you a badly treated because of "what" you are...

- It IS your right to fight for your own rights to be handled/treated equally like anyone else, noone should mind "what" you are because its your business, not theirs. You shouldnt be remarked because of what or who you are, everyone is a human and should be handled/treated the same way like you would treat the person next to you in a good way.

- It is NOT your right to blame others if you think you are different handled because of what you are if you want to be handled actually different than the rest BECAUSE of "what" you are (and just because of they dont know as well). You are creating a distance and build up a wall around yourself here and not others you try to blame for. You want to be differently treat because "you" think you are different and deserve it, which is wrong and creates this whole problem we are in right now and i try to talk about.

This is the point i try to explain here and i sadly dont have a good sample for that in that region but another would be: Look at the USA people over there. they say "GOD SAVE AMERICA" and its ok, France is like "VIVA LA FRANCE!" but now look at people in germany. If someone over here says "IM PROUD TO BE GERMAN", which is basically the equal saying to what USA, France and co says, people mark such german people Na*is. Here is the problem: Saying that doesnt mean automatically youre one. there is a differ to make, a big one which a lot dont see or understand: the differ of nationalism and patriotism.

Saying im proud of germany is patriotism in the first meaning, not nationalism.

(did i really went into this...i think i went offtopic here for a min...?)

So basically what i try to say is, to sum and shorten it up, youre right to fight for your rights to be with everyone else. you can still feel special for what you are but you shouldnt treat others like you stand over them. This can also be called out as "King-syndrome" if you want (not actually but im sure you get the drift here) because mostly if you try to talk to such people, they really "do" think they stand out about the rest and if you try to talk to them or call them out, they play the role of a victim (looking at people which dont really care to read that and have their fingers already on the "Bigot" remark as one sample). If you think youre better than a straight person, you are creating the differ. If you think youre better than anyone else, you creating the differ. Equallity begins with you, everyone should be equally handled and treaten on this whole world, no matter who or what you are.

...Next to this, can we talk about a moment that the whole pride month is losing its meaning not only because of that people but also because it feels like its used for commercial WAY to much? I mean again i get it if you stand your ground and support such people, which is the right thing to do and should be respected and im really glad if people do that...

but people in germany at least here feel like...whats the word...let me try..."overextend" it to much, like...how to say, WAY over the top. Its not that some things are wrong...i dont even know how i can discripe that but im sure, at least my german fellows, know what i try to say here ^^; so dont mind this if you dont understand but as of late, pride month feels over here in germany like valentines day and gets basically commercially "raped" so to say (again, talking about the commercial corners here).

AND because im sure this was now a wall of text and i M I G H T lose the one or other page because people think i "f ed" a rule over: you can find me on my other accounts here: https://watheanum.carrd.co/

Last but not least, after that wall drop, lets go to another topic of mine which i got problems over this month - which are actual ideas for my art.

As you might noticed, i began this month with lesser drawn characters of mine and tried to get this theme somewhat going. Though, as of late im really really running low on ideas for some. I do have some cute (and sexy) poses but i duno which characters you would like to see from me. In that case, it would be nice to hear some suggestions like who you wanna see - maybe my characters or an original character like Krystal (...) or Renamon or what/who ever. I will take a moment to think about collected ideas and see what i can do.
