#and it was kinda discouraging

[tea-cat-arts]

How many Kevin enthusiasts actually are there on this website? Cuz there's like 5 of yall I consistently see in my notes on Kevin posts, but I'm kinda curious what the actual head count is

#honkai impact #kevin kaslana #theres like two of you i know by username #I'm mostly curious because theres more Kevin stuff I want to make #but that shit takes time #and a month or so ago I spent well over 20 hours on a Kevin drawing and only like 10 people saw it #3 of which were irl friends i forced to reblog my work #and it was kinda discouraging #sometimes kevin posts get like 400 notes and others they get 2 #so I'm trying to see if theres an actual market here of kevin enjoyers #cuz if there isnt ill probably just take my kevin ideas and turn it into an oc #actually just realized and i was typing this that Kevin and my main oc Ashe have a fair amount in common :/ #coincidence or do I just have a type of character I'm drawn to

One of the biggest things you have to overcome as an artist is like feeling possessive over concepts I think

#antihibikase.txt #((When I was young I would get kinda discouraged when someone had the same idea as me but like-)) #((-nowadays that just became terrible anxiety of being seen in general /hj)) #((Just thinking of it in general. I have been reminiscing lately about my artist days when I was like 17-19 fsr but. Yeah))

I attempted my first doll repaint and let me tell you...she looks so good in dim lighting from a distance.

#monster high #monster high dolls #doll custom #doll customization #doll repaint #i normally get kinda discouraged with stuff like this but it was actually really fun #i learned a lot and im excited to try again #the question is... on who #i have a pretty beat up old draculaura other than that i have a handful of bratz #i think i maybe should have tried a bratz doll first just because they have less sculpted faces #and i think im gonna invest in some watercolor pencils #text post

Sorry for going quiet, been busy- here’s some art I did today

#bloo’s art :) #badboyhalo fanart #badboyhalo #ghost ur #qsmp ghosted #ghostiesona #I haven’t played hollow knight in a hot minute- and today’s stream made me wanna play it again #I love that bbh is trying new games too #and I did hear what happened on the qsmp #I hope pomme’s admin can come back- that was so unfair #also the French need to be treated better- cause WTFF #I did see quackity’s response too #and I didn’t like the fact that people kinda forced him to make a statement about wil- #he should’ve gotten time to collect himself first too yk? will was his friend too- and we don’t know what happens bye #but yeah #I hope the qsmp takes a set back and fixes everything first before reopening #also I will never forgive the admin who thought that creating drama by using the CCs- #they’re literally the reason why I feel scared to be on Twitter as a ghostie #also how unfair for the CCs- the ones who were discouraged or the ones who literally can’t join back cause of ‘lore reasons’ #hollow knight

reading through your hinote tags it was interesting to learn that Raf still likes preforming and even misses playing large shows, but avoids getting sucked back into it. As an adult, you'd think he could just return to preforming on his own terms and play any stage he wants. Does a fear of success keeps him away from it? Sorry if this was already explained somewhere and I missed it.

Sssorta haha! He doesn't want to gain too much traction and attract media attention, because it'll inevitably liken his current career/his current self to his past...And almost none of the things he had said about himself, very few of the views he presented in interviews and such, none of it was really him, what he believed, what he liked, or how he, himself, wanted to be perceived. He likes playing the character on stage, but hates the notion of that character following him and being projected onto him in day to day life. On one hand, he doesn't want random people to see him and know him accurately--which is why the stage persona is so great. But on the other hand, the media personality his mother curated is too far removed from his own tastes and sensibilities, that it feels like an ill-fitting skin and makes him physically uncomfortable to be identified as and associated with it. Increased visibility as a performer would kinda force him to contend with that in a way he really would rather not. It's not worth it for him. AND he does not want to attract his family's attention. He doesn't want them contacting him about his career. He wants to be as tiny and invisible to them as possible.

Secondly, and more acutely, though--his symptoms after a show--any show--really suck. He gets nervous leading up to a performance, but it's usually perfectly manageable. He's normally in relatively good spirits about it. Then on stage, he gets a nice little thrill and the feeling of "man, yeah! I need to let myself do this more often!" But then, once the show is over, he's in the backstage bathroom vomiting, and spends the next week struggling to recover from a depressed hangover with 0 motivation, energy, or excitement for anything. He hasn't...figured out how to avoid this extremely consistent pattern. It's weird, because he feels fine during the performance, even if there's a break in between or some such. But as soon as it's properly over, the nerves hit him hard--and once the anxiety passes, he's just an exhausted, deflated, apathetic husk with a very, very low mood about it. That's what kinda keeps him off the stage, and prevents him from doing shows on any kind of consistent basis. He can only really commit to doing them if he's feeling really good about things--and if he can afford the inevitable "crash" week that always follows. If that were less of an ailment for him, he might be more inclined to at least humor the idea of reinventing his persona and returning to musical performance on a more serious/professional/consistent basis. Alas.

#when he was a kid the performance was always the easiest part to get through #The real stress came from the post-show criticisms lectures and...general fallout between him and his mother specifically. #it was never a celebration or a congratulation esp. as he entered his teen years. #The most nerve wracking/discouraging work began once the curtains had closed. #Almost 2 decades of that and the body just kinda...goes through the motions now #regardless of the fact that there are no post-performance lectures or 'practices' or what have you anymore. #Theoretically he COULD just relax and sleep after a show if he wants but lmao his brain hasn't caught up with that reality yet. #Hi-Note #Rafael

[chrollohearttags]

last rb…yeah, I didn’t wanna say nothing or seem ungrateful but it gets hard to find the motivation to post sometimes when it seems like your work is going unnoticed :/I got 20+ google docs I’m truly wondering if I should even bother bc it’ll probably go into the void tbh. And I’ve noticed that a lot a ppl will say they don’t want to post certain things (i.e. smut) on their blog bc it’s “graphic” or doesn’t fit but then ignore angst, fluff, etc. so we don’t know what y’all want ☠️ we know it’s a song we keep singing but it’s why I can’t blame a lot of people for leaving. It’s not easy to keep churning out work + all of our daily responsibilities only for it to go unnoticed. (And it’s even worse if you tag your stuff with black reader..no I will not elaborate) but we just want to see that it’s appreciated idk.

#I’m pms’ing so I’m prolly just being emotional but yeah #it’s kinda annoying #cherry chats 🍒 #esp with kinktober coming up #that’s a lot of fics and a LOT of work with 31 days straight #support writers #seems like everybody’s so worried about aesthetics that they forget about sharing art #creatives really don’t stand a chance nowadays #we love you guys and appreciate you very much #but it is discouraging

[sketchy-tour]

Happy Easter if yall celebrate it!!!!! Otherwise I hope yall have an absolutely fantastic Sunday!!!!

Aaaa I feel like I'm not as chatty as I once was on here. Been a bit all over the place! Also feel silly making a ton of text posts with no art so I try and limit how often I blab on here.

But just know I still appreciate all of you who follow and like my art! Every bit of interaction I still see and it still baffles me to see such kind words. It means the absolute world to me!!!! 💖💖🌻

#plus Ive been drawing other things between wh art #but I know no one here would wanna see my original character art. Which is so okay im not lamenting that! #this blog was always meant for fandom stuff! but ya know. if im drawing other stuff it means my fandom art slows down slightly #still need to get back in the groove with drawing Dandy #really hard not to feel discourage ever since dealing with them being used without my permission (Which has already been long since handled) #but I havent shaken off that upset I felt. Made me all tol hesitant to even post Dandy anymore. #course also kinda put a damper on my fun #OH IM RAMBLING! venting??? this isnt about that #shaking my head and clearing clouds!!! anyway! needless to say im trying. i hope you guys dont mind being patient with me #happy easter! #or uh happy sunday!!!! if you dont celebrate! #OH AND HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY!!!!!! #Wow my tag rambles are all OVER THE PLACE #text post #just rambling #ill shut up now 💖

not to be rude but that might've come across as rude but really no offence I really enjoyed the other fics you posted and I'm really thankful you decided to share them with us but the last two gave me major ick

Anon, your first message called my writing "terrible and disgusting" so I'm not really sure how that isnt intended to be both very rude and offensive.

If you enjoy my other writing that's great, and if some of it isn't for you/gives you the "ick" that's no problem at all! Just please, fuck off out of my ask box with your disingenuous "no offences", and learn the basic skill of not engaging with content you don't like.

#I never normally answer these kinda asks but this one was just so ??? #Like please don't send these kinds of messages to creators they're not very nice and very discouraging #If you don't like something you read you really DONT have to go to the effort of telling the writer... just close the browser and walk away

[hijacksecrets]

welp

Y'all... I'm so sorry but I really don't have any more ideas for the trollhunters AU 😭 I am SO flattered you guys like it so much and happy to have inspired you guys, but honestly I feel so bad 'cause I only really posted it because I didn't think I'd make more, if any content for the AU. It was just sitting in my folders collecting dust for like 9 months, and aside from the one recent comic I did for the funny scenario, I don't really see myself making more content for the Trollhunter's AU 😭😭😭Especially not lore stuff.

I feel REALLY bad that the AU got pushed to the back-burner, I didn't expect so many of you guys to like it so much.

BUT I'm very happy to let you guys take what ideas I had and run with it! I'm sorry I don't think I can contribute more to the AU other than what I've already posted. Maybe I'll revisit it at some point, who knows?

#many apologies but i really do have like #0 ideas #nada #and i really have no desire to watch Wizards or anything else so any questions regarding lore is just white noise in my brain #But please don't get discouraged #ive been loving everyone's passion for this idea!! #I just feel bad that I've kinda moved on to other AUs since then
