Eyup, I remember that. And if I’m completely honest, if I could go back in time and meet that version of me, I’d deck her in the face. Granted uh, Activision already had Spyro at the time, I drew that because of my immature hatred for Skylanders then.
That was… god, 7ish years ago? I will not shy away from it, I admit that was me, heck I still bring it up to people when I talk about how my opinion on Skylanders changed so dramatically. I was childish when I drew that, I was the very thing I hate now about the LoS fandom, the type of person that now makes me forever salty and bitter towards it.
However, Razzek and ShaloneSK eventually perked my interest with their art. They weaned me away from that ugly, toxic behavior I had and I blame them for actually getting me to try Skylanders. The KaosXFeuriah ship? It all started BECAUSE of Razz drawing art of Cyndertits (whom I still love, that joke will never get old for me) having Kaos as her father. I joked that Feuriah and him had a one night stand, resulting in the bratty daughter Cynder. I actually have the picture she drew of them meeting at the bar hanging up by my computer >u>
After trying the game… my viewpoint changed. I realized I had fun with Skylanders, that my hatred was horribly misguided and childish. Kurt and I played together and had a lot of dorky, stupid fun. I started getting plot ideas, drawing it, and BAYUM Weirdlanders.
The reason I’m so bitter and salty now is the people that were so damn rude about me getting interested. People who were disgustingly horrible to ANYONE drawing Skylanders at all. I met so many Spyro artists, one of them face to face, who just wanted to draw the characters for fun but ended up deleting them, or being pushed away from drawing them because shitty, awful people who couldn’t stop themselves from bitching on their art. That also includes SpyroXCynder shippers, hoboi in the early days if anyone drew Spyro or Cynder with another Skylander, so many comments were them bashing it. And I guess that’s coming back :T That’s why I’m bitter, that’s why I’m so salty. When Game Grumps tried to do a let’s play of Superchargers, everyone hated on it so badly they couldn’t continue it. Wanna see some shitty toxic people? Check the poll for the First4Figures to sculpt Skylanders Academy Spyro.
I’m just glad I changed my opinion, and had the balls to stick with it. Just know, I do not endorse that picture at all anymore.
My intro into the Skylander fandom was an ugly one, and even tho I hate the fact I drew that stupid picture I won’t ignore the person I used to be. Proof that people can change their opinion. There are good reasons to not like Skylanders; but there are absolutely NO excuses for shitting on it for such sad reasons and trying to ruin the fun for other people. You do you, let people enjoy themselves, life’s already crappy enough.
