FA Drama - Zaush is an asshole, and I'm happy about this!
11 years ago
Okay guys, here's an interesting little journal about me, my past, and Adam.
He and I used to be rather good friends about 10 years ago. He was the first artist I met in the fandom, and I hung out at his personal site way-back when his art was something I actually liked. Adam's original Krystal image(s) were what led me to the fandom in the first place. We chatted on messenger and it was fun. But you know what? I was a dumbshit 10 years ago.
No, really, I was a social failure. And there's two specific people I interacted with over the following years that really helped shape who I am today. One is *morningstar, and not just for her involvement in Werewolf. The two of us have known each other a long time, I met her about the same time frame. The other one is, in fact, Adam Wan, aka Zaush.
I was a selfish failure back then with an undeveloped sense of others' feelings. And you know what Adam did? He let me know it. Him and *morningstar both would tell things to me with 100% directness. They would sit with me for hours arguing with me, trying to get me to understand what about what I was doing was stupid. Adam was especially tactless towards my poor behaviors. And in the end, despite the fact that after a few years and his interests started drifting we began to drift apart as friends, in the end I am VERY thankful for his directness and willingness to say what's on his mind.
Do I believe he is a bit of a dick at times? Oh, most definitely. But I don't dislike that about him. And in regards to the 'rape drama' going around, and knowing what I do about Adam, I believe his journal accurately describes his personal viewpoint. Whether the opposing party's viewpoint differs or not, how he describes things is how he viewed it himself.
Fact of life, perceptions vary.
TL;DR - Adam is someone who I am thankful for having met. I may have pretty much no interest in his art these days, I may have little to talk about with him, but I don't think poorly of him. I accept him for who he is; blunt, forceful, to the point... but to those spazzing about the drama? It's just standard sex drama with a public spin as far as I'm concerned.

I am surprised no controversy has risen about this yet.

I'm too much of a nobody for people to notice or care. |3

Well, you do have friends in pornographically recognised places. I suppose with enough slow and steady manipulation you could have become popular, but you seem a little too ethically stable for that.

Hahaha, well, I don't have the money to commission tons of artists. I don't have artistic talent myself. And most people don't understand the Werewolf thing too well. Those that do don't really post actively. I'm also a pretty reclusive person. Plenty of reasons, and I don't mind it. I just figured I'd give my intellectual friends an odd anecdote during this time of drama. :P

That, and there aren't many actual artists around. Mostly porn factories.
