tbh i maintain that a huge reason the RL community is bigger than the animanga one is that RL has better resources for finding FCs. most of my FC usage is RL for that reason.

like idk i prefer animanga from an aesthetic standpoint, but i can't deny that if two identical sites have an "fcs must be 18+" rule, and the only difference is what kind of FC they use, i'm joining the RL one every single time. it's less work on me to find a good FC when the FC directories for RL are sorted by age, gender, and race, and there are a million of them to choose from.
I maintain that a big part of the problem is that our community has a serious problem with sharing and gatekeeping, and the lack of reliable resources for fcs is a symptom of that problem. Everyone is expected to pay for everything or make it themselves, but not everyone has that ability. I have an immense icon collection that I’d love to share, but I get lambasted bc I don’t have sources for all of them bc they’re over 13 years old and I don’t want to be accused of stealing. In fact, I’ve been told by people here that if I can’t source said art that I should just not use it at all- which I think is ridiculous considering some of my resources are again, literally untraceable now. I’ve tried. But I have no problem with crediting art when I can!

But it’s just not always possible anymore if the artist has been ripped and it’s impossible to find the original artist. I’ve considered turning my collection of icons (and when I say a lot I mean like tens of thousands) into an archive for people to use freely; but I’m not sure I want to deal with being accused of theft bc I’m a collector, even if I don’t claim that the original works are mine. 


you should post it! if someone knows the original artist, they're free to let you or one of us staff know so we can add it in the thread or something. don't feel discouraged

Drama for drama sake. Miss me with it please.

This is a probably a good time for me to slink out from behind the curtains where I normally am and be precautious to say...
Reminder! if someone is causing drama, please report it so we can handle it swiftly and not have a 10-post commotion!!

But also same

I will get to ads. I had two family members in the hospital back to back and then I just fished a cat out of a car engine and got three other kittens to take care of (They're all doing okay - the flea infestation was terrible tho) and I'll be getting to them in all in the next few days including shop stuff.

Also no one is surprised but people who don't know cats that the orange one was in the engine. Big dumb is just written on their heads.



Feel better, neko! Don't forget you're always welcome to rely on the rest of us. :)
