I have a boatload of trauma from 2018-2022 and rather than swallowing it continuously every time I go to repost old art that I spent, let's face it, HOURS on...I have opted to revamp old pieces by removing rapists and evil fuckers I no longer interact with at all from my art.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM ERASING ANY ASPECT OF THE STORY WHATSOEVER. Ezrael WAS collared by her govt, she WAS raped repeatedly by deimos, she did eventually break free, almost ripping her head off in the process, the damage wholly exists in both her and me.
what I'm saying is I no longer want to see the art that makes me feel sick to look at, so I am changing the pictures. rather than a scene with post-emain, collared and mind-fucked ezrael with deimos, I turned this into one of the very many canon and now sfw scenes from ezraels on-emain youth with sirius.
Sirius is owned by my friend of almost 20 years and we developed this story for both Ez and Sirius back in 2018. I havent turned or deviated from any of the canon whatsoever [it's also detailed in the novel too, if it ever goes thru finalization w/the publisher. this shit takes forever]
so just know, these pieces are fully in support of sirius's owner and it's all canon true-to-book lore. the other stuff is ALSO, but I just don't want to look at it anymore. as someone who survived SA by ppl in the past, you can kinda understand where I am coming from in my reasoning of why I am deleting people from my art. the scars and damage they caused will NEVER go away, but at least now i can look at my art and for the first time in 6yrs, not feel pain or hatred.
