Hello, guys!
First, I will begin to thank y'all for all the favs, comments and love that Moon and my pictures have been receiving during this time that I came back to the Scooby Doo Fandom.
I feel so happy to know that a lot of you enjoy my art and really appreciate Moon.
Of course not just here in dA but on IG and Tumblr.
Now that been said, I will tell you guys something.
As most of you have seen the trailer for "Scoob!" came out today, and it definitely inspired me and hyped me a lot, including my closest friends. I'm very excited for the movie to come but it also gives me anxiety, and not in the good way.
I'm very concerned about the impact the movie might make on the fandom, bringing old people back from the death (like me) or bringing new people as well. Now why? Because I've been in a lot of fandoms and when people go insane, it kills the love for the series.
I don't want "Scooby Doo" to become the old BH6. As you all know the fandom was a nightmare. Fights, drama, insults, threats... etc.
And I won't say I didn't take part in it, cause I definitely did. Defending someone or defending myself and showing "people" the door.
Now, that old drama is in the past, people are blocked and they should stay there. But as I know, and most of you know, there are crazy people in the world and people just can't stand certain "ships" or "characters".
Now, this is what I'm going to do.
I will ignore every single hater or person who comes to my page talking about their ships, shoving them in my face or talking about how much Shaggy loves their OC and shit.
Great, you ship with Shaggy? That's fine! Kudos! the guy deserves all the love in the world! Do I care for your ship? No.
Will I draw your ship? No.
Will I draw your character? If you commission me yes, or if I feel like it, yes.
Let me tell you guys that Shaggy is a fictional character, I don't own him. You can ship with him! You can... but will I care for your ship? Nope.
So please don't come to my page, my drawings telling me "Omg, shaggy is mine!" "Omg, I love your OC Moon, my OC is also with Shaggy and they are going to have a baby hehe" "You know my head canons for Shaggy and my OC?..."
No, I don't care.
OTL
LMAO
No dramatization there, I received comments like that in a few fandoms I've been in. I would post the screenshots but that would be calling people out, and I want NO drama.
So, Shaggy is a dear precious character that I love, and call me a baby, but I just don't want to draw anyone else with him lol.
In the BH6 fandom I was manipulated and I even let go of my ship with Fred to satisfy a person that is no longer a friend. Guess what? It's not happening again.
In conclusion, I won't draw Shaggy with anyone in a romantic type of way, because I ship my OC with him. There are plenty of people who can draw your OCs with him! Don't worry!
This is for everyone to understand, I draw what I want to draw. I choose to like what I like, I have the right to talk or share with whoever I want. Does this mean you can't do the same? Absolutely not.
You can like what you want, if you like another person who ships with Shaggy, great! I don't mind! If you feel like you have to choose, that's your business. I'm not telling anyone to respect my ship as canon. If it was canon, God, I wouldn't be here, I would be working with Warner and I would be married to Matthew Lillard, but I guess that's not the case huh?
So please, feel free to do what ever you want with your OCS, ships and imaginary worlds, and let me do the same. I LOVE talking to people about their OCs, relationships and everything you want, but with respect, with time, with interaction. I don't need to know everything about your OC in one comment on a picture I made of Shagoon, and even the comment doesn't say anything about the picture lol.
So that's all I wanted to say! Please create, LOVE and SHARE.
Don't hate, don't bug, don't harass! Just love and spread love!!
And please let everyone do their own thing!
Blessings!!
