Silly quick guide for the differences and similarities between these two stinky dwarves #oc #art #bofur #borubrindlebeard

Anon so delicately asks: … I really don’t think you should have the opinions you do or act the way you do when you literally are just plagiarizing Bofur and the Tolkien universe for your own personal story. You really don’t take criticism well and tend to break down super easily :/. It’s one thing to have low self confidence and it’s another to snap at people and shut down instantly.

My response so i dont have to explain again: Lmao where is this coming from? Anon telling me I can't have opinions? Is this 2010? Firstly, "Plagarizing" Bofur? Do you even know what that word means? :/ "to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source" If you were to pay attention or research before, Bofur and Boru are completely different characters, the only thing similar is that they are both dwarves and their hair color. The 'stache may be almost the same? but as a dwarf, it really isn't? Their names, backstories, accents, clothing, bone structure, ass size, family, likes, dislikes, home, age, and especially personality, are all different. (Same with the world. Amoura is different from Middle-Earth.) Yes, Boru is a character made that was inspired by Bofur. Not only have I admitted that, but it also happens all the time. Inspiration does not mean 'stealing', and I made a good amount of effort to make it so. When did I break down and snap at people and shut down? Granted I take breaks, but I have been nothing but kind. i will absolutely defend myself, especially my artwork / characters if they are being threatened or stolen. I think this is more of your own problem if you think that's "not taking criticism well"??

Alright, which one of you goofballs took something I said the wrong way and ran to Tumblr to anonymously spit this at me hermmm?🕵️ (ft. my response)
