Hi, i gotta get this out here as soon as i can so here goes
so apparently someone didnt like my art (specifically the recent alecca drawing which as of now ive privated) and went off to some third grade f1 gossip cesspool instagram page and dropped my drawing down there and theyre basically publicly shaming my blog and my art specifically the rpf content
which is why im making this post as a refresher on what rpf actually is - real people fiction - key word FICTION
please for the love of god, understand that with any fandom space comes creation and that it comes in multiple forms of art writing music and so forth, and rpf has been a subculture of this specific f1 fandom for a LONG ASS TIME the most dated first f1 rpf fic goes back to literally mika/michael on ao3 in like 2002
us making this sort of content doesnt MEAN that we actually think of these drivers in this light, because that is the line that NONE of us should cross
how is it any different if one ships a driver with a model or a influencer, than us shipping them with another driver? in both cases it is still the 'real people' clause so why is one okay and the other 'vile and disgusting' (quoted exactly from the story they posted abt my art btw)
some part of me knows its not that deep, because it really isnt we all just want to support our favourite teams and drivers and have fun in this fandom space together and follow basic fandom etiquette, if you dont like, then dont interact, something i myself have been doing ever since i started liking formula 1
but another part of me knows that i shouldnt be getting shit online for stuff that i make for my small community of people, where we genuinely mean no harm and if it bothers you, then thats a personal issue of yours
rpf has been a long running subculture for decades now, it has certain moral boundaries that we all follow here and none of us cross it so its really disheartening to see that the stuff i made being plastered across on ig as dehumanising and fetishising, because the intention behind my art is nothing but of support and joy
and lastly i just wanna say, that if ur an active tumblr user and if my (in my opinion, very lowkey art compared to regular tumblr content) is getting you this worked up then u should consider changing social medias lmao
I function out of spite
Glad Tidings to These Special People
Glad tidings to these special people,
The few of the few,
The diamonds in the rough,
Those who fearlessly stand for the truth, forbid evil and advise & correct others,
They remain firm and patient when criticized, mocked, and ridiculed by the ignorant & sinful,
The harm and evil of the people does not shake them in the least,
And if it does, they drink the drink of patience,
And they only complain to their Lord,
They continue upon this path of the Messengers,
Swallowing the pain, wiping the tears and ignoring the blame of the blamers,
Glad tidings to you, O chosen ones.
May Allāh keep you steadfast

In every situation, turn back to Allah.
This Dunya's tests are inevitable, but true faith is shown by relying on Allah in both hardship and ease. When trials strike, a believer’s first response should be to turn to Allah with sincerity, patience, and reliance, knowing that every difficulty is an opportunity to grow closer to Him.
It’s important to remember Allah not just in times of difficulty but also in moments of ease and success. Gratitude in good times is as essential as patience in hard times. Consistently turning to Allah through salah, dhikr, and repentance keeps the heart connected to Him, ensuring that no matter what life brings, the believer remains anchored in faith. True success lies in recognizing Allah’s wisdom in every moment and seeking His guidance above all.
INSANE COPE BRO
If you leave Islam as a religion, Leave it as a topic. I do not care for your apostasy story and neither does any other muslim.

may Allah cleanse our souls of any grief towards the past, our tongues of falsehood, our hearts of malice, and our minds of doubt. May He fill our lives with peace, our actions with sincerity, and our path with His divine light this Laylatul Qadr.
