When Yankee Doodle went to town
a-riding on a pony, he was being a
poser. The British wrote the song
‘Yankee Doodle’ to ridicule Americans’
lack of class. The term ‘macaroni’
described those sophisticated, worldly,
and upper-class people with a stylish
sense of fashion, so when that Yankee
simpleton (doodle) put some random
feather on his hat and called it classy
(macaroni), it was just a failed attempt
at trying to look cool. Source
Seriously don’t kin with people’s OCs, you don’t know what this character means to them, and you’re taking agency from the artist/owner.
The only time it’s okay is if you’ve gotten permission from the owner to kin with the OC, otherwise keep it to yourself, in private spaces.
Also remember, some of these OCs are more or less their owner, their insecurities, their heart and to kin with them w/o consent is selfish…I know some can’t control who/what they kin with, but if it’s someone’s character and you haven’t gotten consent, please keep it private.
If an artist or owner of an OC doesn’t want you kinning with their creation it is not ableist, and you need to respect their decision.
I’ve had friends go into panic/anixety attacks over important OCs being kinned with without their consent, and it’s important to know that it may seem harmless to do this but for some their OCs are everything to them.
SO DON’T KIN WITH ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WITHOUT CONSENT.
And please don’t tag them as your OCs or inspirations/FCs for them, neither.
Goddamned Mezolithic Megafauna’s what that is. Goddamned warranty expired on those things centuries ago, but do they care? Do they go decently extinct, like the ground sloth, gigantopethicus, or wooly rhino? Fuck that, they’re doing downhill runs on your favorite skiing course is what. Because Fuck it, is why.
Now I understand why moose are built the way they are.
It’s so they can gallop untrammelled through six-odd feet of snow.
Jesus Christ I read those mother fuckers could run 55km an hour but seeing it is another thing especially plowing through the snow
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
