I am completely fine with fanart, in fact, I LOVE IT! Please, do not be discouraged to show me your fanart. Every piece I get, I truly cherish and I am forever grateful someone would take interest enough in this project to draw its characters. To those who I have already received fanart from, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Although, I have some ground rules to cover.
DO NOT DRAW PROBLEMATIC THEMES
If you are drawing within the themes that align with the show, that is fine, however please make sure such topics are depicted in a tasteful manner.
DO NOT CHANGE THE CHARACTERS' BODY TYPES
This includes drawing overweight characters skinny or flat female characters "curvy." It is an erasure of the little representation these groups get in media. The characters' body types, specifically Ruth's hold significance to me.
DO NOT DRAW POC CHARACTERS AS WHITE
I am all for shipping my characters! I think the way in which people choose to interpret my characters is super interesting! But I am asking you to not cross these boundaries.
DO NOT PROSHIP MY CHARACTERS
Regardless of your stance on proshipping, I am asking you to not proship my characters as it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Please understand this, thank you.
DO NOT SHIP SHERMY WITH OTHER CHARACTERS BESIDES RUTH
Shermy's relationship with Ruth and his loyalty to her is fundamental to his character and it plays a major role in the narrative. I highly regard their relationship and would not like to see him shipped with other characters because it saddens me, as ridiculous as that may seem.
DO NOT CHANGE CHARACTERS' CANON SEXUALITIES
If a character is stated to be gay, do not ship said character with the opposite gender.
I understand this is the internet, so this is bound to happen so its best I address it. I am fine with people sexualizing my characters as long as it's done within the confines of these boundaries.
