Rules/Policies:

Generative AI, NFTs, & Sharing:

Please don't share my comics without my consent and without
crediting me. Furthermore, if you do share my work (with consent and accreditation) please share the comic on the Cara app or website only. I am not confident, for numerous reasons, with my art or comics being highly available across the internet right now.I do NOT consent to any of my artwork, comic books/graphic novels, characters, and intellectual property to be used for generative AI (of any type: including but not limited to image, text, audio, etc.)I do NOT consent any of my work and intellectual property to be used for NFTs.

Fan-Made Content: The "Yes."

I do consent to fanart in the form of a simple picture (drawing/painting). I consent to short 1-2 minute animated gifs. I also consent to people cosplaying as the characters and sharing photos of their cosplay.I also consent to 3D art, physical or digital, of my characters in the form of simple sculptures/images, or 1-2 minute gifs.I would appreciate it if you ask my consent directly before creating fanart and costumes.When you share your pictures (drawings, paintings, gifs, cosplay photos, 3D art/sculptures) please credit, and when possible, tag me. Please only post them on the Cara app/website for now.You may create fanart of my characters as they are in anything that is cute, funny, or wholesome.

Fan-Made Content: The "No."

I do not currently consent to fan-made stories of my work. This includes fan-made comics, text-based narrative work, animations that are 3+ minutes long, or live action film of any duration.This might seem very restrictive but "SDK" (the code-name for my current project that I've been working on by myself for over 10 years) is a very personal, sentimental project. Furthermore, I am a beginner artist and attempting to share this work in any public format in 2026 is quite intimidating already.I know this might be disheartening, especially for authors, but please respect my wishes.

I do NOT consent for my art, characters, and intellectual property to be abused in the following ways:

Do NOT create (in any medium) of rape, sexual assault, or sexual violence of my characters and intellectual property.Do NOT create (in any medium) pedophilia of my characters and intellectual property.Do NOT create (in any medium) any kind of vore, gore, or excessive violence of my characters and intellectual property.Do NOT create (in any medium) any kind of pornography of my characters and intellectual property, especially BDSM/kink. Vanilla/wholesome/Safe For Work romantic concepts only.Do NOT make creations (in any medium) of my characters and intellectual property that show immoral and illegal things in a positive light (including but not limited to domestic violence, excessive violence, sexual crimes, pedophilia, abusive relationships, child abuse, drugs, and other forms of substance abuse).Do NOT print my work, do not make remixes or derivatives of my work. Do not share digital materials or files of my work. Do NOT alter anything about my intellectual property without my consent and credit.Do NOT create (in any medium) anything that is racist, transphobic, queerphobic, ableist, and prejudiced of any kind with my characters and intellectual property. I am extremely anti-prejudice and this is highly prevalent in my work.Lastly, this is not immoral but I do not support any fan-made works of my characters in non-canonical romantic relationships AKA non-canonical "shipping."I have worked on "SDK" (temporary code word for my story right now) entirely by myself for over 10 years since I started it back in 2016. No one knows my characters, my story, my IP better than me.I especially detest "aesthetic ships" where people "ship" characters just because they look attractive together with no respect of the context of the story, histories, interests, or legitimate compatibility of the characters.This is the least concerning thing on this list but please don't do it. If you do it without my consent, please credit me as the original creator of the characters and IP, anyway. Don't go out of your way to show it to me, though.

My Values:

I am anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism. I am anti-gun, pro universal/free healthcare & education, affordable/accessible transportation. I am pro equality & equity for all. Pro environment friendly infrastructure, etc.I do not tolerate prejudice of any kind. Including but not limited to, racism (towards ANY group of people but especially those with darker skin tones and those from the Global South who are consistently disrespected and dehumanized by white people and white nations), transphobia, queerphobia (including homophobia, biphobia, lesbophobia, acephobia, etc.), ableism, and more.The only prejudice allowed is hating rich people, corporations, and evil governments who support them. Wealth equality/equity for all! Eat the rich!Extra note about cosplay: If any Person of Color wants to cosplay as any of my characters, I would be delighted. Racist ass white people need to FUCK OFF! They can cosplay my characters HOWEVER they want so long as it's consensual and not against my rules/consent.This includes religious people who wear headdresses. They may absolutely wear their headdresses as part of the cosplay. Prejudiced assholes can eat shit!I know saying this is not enough of a consequence on its own but I feel like too many artists and creators online do not make their values clear from the get-go. Nor do they put in any effort to regulate or moderate their communities/fandoms, especially if they're getting a few seconds of fame online.I do not allow or tolerate this shit. I can't do much in regards to consequences but I will say something directly to you, I will report your account (repeatedly, by the way), and I will block you from being able to engage with whatever communities I have and from seeing my work in the future.That may not have a long-term impact but it's the least I can do if you decide being a racist piece of shit is okay. The same is true for anyone else who wants to cosplay or do fanart. Transgender people, disabled people, etc.Everyone is allowed to cosplay and make art and prejudiced assholes don't get to gatekeep any hobbies, genres, or media.
