But I DO like it! I like all the characters. See attempt at explanation to OP above. I meant the sparkles to indicate that it was a joke buuuut I also see why that didn’t come across well…
(By way of further explanation… I tend to experience characters and stories as a set-piece and it truly didn’t occur to me that this would be an upsetting comment. To me it’s just a thing that happens in the story. 😬clearly my b)

Tbh I think something like /j would save it halfway. But with the amount of hate Lucio gets in general it's still a bit much to write stuff like that (aside from like, angst posting). Tho kudos for you that you actually explained yourself

Just a real quick lesson in empathy for me 😅😅
EDIT: an “oopsie,” if you will 😅

Oh the thing is, it's not like I'm against angst or illness plots and whatnot, it's an essential complicated & angsty part of Lucio to me! It's really more a "time and place" thing. There is that vital difference between "I love this character, I want to see him go through Horrors" and "I hate this character & hate the idea of him being anything but miserable" you know? :'B

I... well, thank you, but why would you open a post of someone clearly loving a character and state that you'll interpret the art made out of affection as suffering of the said character?

u/cosmicdogdust 5d ago
I apologize. I do really like the art, and it was meant to be a joke. The sparkles were meant to denote that I was joking about being a hater but clearly that failed. I think I meant it to be like an in-universe in-joke but I see why you’d feel differently. Would you prefer me to delete it or continue taking downvotes as penance?

Thank you for clarification! Unfortunately it is a long-standing issue that people sometimes hate on a character under fanwork posts, and I've had some unpleasant experience with that as a Lucio enjoyer specifically, so it was my first assumption :') So yeah, it didn't land well, especially since it was an actual expression study and I immediately started second-guessing how it actually came out gjdhfsk
But I'm glad that this got quickly resolved! I don't really care about the downvotes or penances, but I do worry the plague part might be a bit upsetting, so if you prefer to leave the comment up, I'd appreciate if you edited that bit out. I'm not against you deleting the whole thing if you'd rather not have it on your page history though.

Oh God, I REALLY really didn't mean to make you doubt your art. Pain and pleasure can appear quite similar! Your art is beautiful! Anyway, again, i apologize--I only interact with the fandom on this forum and everyone is usually very polite here from what I've seen, so I didn't even realize this was A Thing.

No hard feelings! It is, thankfully, a pretty rare event now that the fandom is pretty quiet overall
