Well this is awkward. I know a lot of folk have seen my Magiswords fan art and no doubt heard the news of what happened as of late. Kyle, the creator of the show, was arrested for possession of CP. To have heard all the things he did in the past while I was still active with toon wars wasn't too upsetting to me since I thought something was off with him to begin with. Friends who saw him on Twitter or even got to interact with the guy said he either couldn't take critique, got into hot water with other creators, etc etc. But this was a bombshell. I cannot FATHOM how stupid this is and it's taken me all day to process it. But now I think I got a response.

Although the creator is a monster (and I certainly don't wanna see him again for that matter), and I still think his show is mid despite years of fan art telling folk otherwise, I still enjoy writing and drawing the characters. Specifically the ones I've done most often that the show otherwise shoved in favor of focusing on the main duo, who I never really cared much for compared to the creator himself. Characters like Cattus and Bimm really made an impression on all my work, yet they only show up once or twice out of 50 some episodes. And I know there were really talented people on board who tried their best to make the show work with what little creative control they had.

I can't put into more words how shocking all this is to hear. But I can't bring myself to hate the series and everyone else who worked on it or were associated with it because of the actions of one evil man. I've got no problem dropping in to write the characters into fanfics again sometime and drawing them on occasion. Though, ironically, I'm sticking with the ones that I'm almost certain Kyle has shelved rather than the two everyone now associate with him.

But hey, if it's any consolation, his series did finally blow up for a minute...for the wrong reasons XD I hope he stays away from everybody for a long time. And even if legal issues happen, I hope people continue to let him know how much of a fraud he is. But, don't point and group the rest of the development team with him. They're not the ones who possessed 600 counts worth of highly illegal material.
