Pet peeves.
They're irritating, aren't they?
Of course they are; if they weren't, they wouldn't be CALLED pet peeves... x_X
One of mine?
When people steal pictures from good artists and claim the characters as their own.
That has a name, children.
It's called PLAGIARISM.

That means, children, that these pictures you're taking weren't cranked out by an automated machine; these pictures you're stealing were made with lots of effort, love, care, and a lot of times good ol' blood&sweat&tears.
Would you like it if someone stole something you made yourself that you were proud of, and claimed it as their own?
In other words, GET YOUR OWN DAMN CHARACTERS.

Kthx.
And yes, this includes those who say "This is what my character looks like" or "This is my RPC". It's the same thing, whether you like to admit it or not.
For those who are curious, I have just recently discovered someone I know very blatantly half-ripping off my own character. x_X Ugh.
