Not Dollie getting heated about poor internet etiquette on this fine Monday morning for no reason. But I'm not the only one who thinks this is stupid behavior, right?

I am also saying this as someone who posted a character, redesigned them a week later and had to update the refs with his new design. You are allowed to edit images you can post the old ref and no one will give a damn when the time comes

"Reference sheet is being updated"

Bitch, it's December, artfight isn't until July. You've got *months* to finish your ref sheets you don't need to post an unfinished character

If you don't want people to see your characters either don't post them until the active season or hide them immediately until its time. Place holding does jack shit

Ya'll know that the recent character feeds are constantly updating right? Anyone who might have seen your oc and thought they looked fun to draw isn't going to book mark something that currently just has a box saying "WiP comeback later" they aren't gonna remember to come back later

How do I decide?

Same thing in the case of shipping her with Madoc or Zachary as MadLight/Madwrites or LightBlades/Bladewrites, both words make really great ship names when paired with the other character

Her first name means "light" and her last name means "writer" and I kind of like both of them say in an example of shipping Noura with Cristabel "Blood" the ship name would either be BloodLight or BloodWrites and I love them both

I like the shipname convention of having a word associated with a character like I did with HiddenRoses coming from their last names Hyde and Dallarosa, and have words picked out for most of them already, I'm just struggling deciding between two for Noura

Like, none of them would be 'canon' because I don't intend to have any focus on ships but I'm thinking like, what would a fandom ship and what would they be called

I'm so sorry! The last time I had a dream that shook me up that bad, what helped me calm down from it was to write it down on a piece of notebook paper and tear it up when I was done, I hope you can get it out of your system!

Side note: When I posted this on DA I was clowning about ship names in my artist comments and I've gotten really attached to 'HiddenRoses' in the five minutes since coming up with it
