genuinely mystified by the kind of person that would produce this image and not realize "oh, I'm being fucking ridiculous"

personally, when I see someone press a heart-shaped button to denote that They Like My Work, the conclusion I draw is that They Like My Work. but perhaps I'm the crazy one, and I should instead be taking it as one step above "shooting me three times in the head."

#liking it is a bookmark for them. no one else sees it. it's a nod and acknowledgement my work was seen. clearly not good enough for#them to share. not good enough to bring me more business more clients more customers. how does that like button help the artist#or help the writer? it doesn't. call me cynical if you want but i've been here long enough to know the like button is only a bookmark.

listen. I get it. I am also Out Here, chronically unemployed and trying to make ends meet by monetizing my music. I also get frustrated and demoralized when something I worked hard on fails to gain traction.

that being said:

this attitude can only ever corrode your connection to your own work. "not good enough to bring me more business" - I'm sorry, but strangers on social media do not owe you free marketing. meanwhile, what you call "only a bookmark" signifies that your work appealed to them, even if they didn't reblog it. isn't that the fucking point of doing any of this? to make someone else's day a little richer, or to make them feel seen?

to put it in simpler terms:

if you consider someone liking your work "meaningless," why are you making art in the first place?

really baffling phenomenon on this post: a significant number of people are reblogging it, and then disagreeing with me in the tags without actually adding any of that to the post itself

I feel like it undermines your argument a little when you don't even seem to understand the Basic Functionality of a reblog. just my 2 cents

No one is morally obliged to give you free dopamine or exposure. It’s okay to prefer reblogs to like—I know I do! But it’s absurd to throw a fit about it.

#very true#but also genuinely a good reminder to me as a creator that thinking like this is in fact ridiculous#especially when as a consumer i don't always have the energy to leave a comment or something#and there are multiple reasons i might enjoy some art but not want it on my blog#we put energy into making stuff and yes it sucks to get no engagement#but we cannot expect everyone else on the internet to give that same energy back#i promise you will be happier if you learn to appreciate likes and kudos as people saying 'hey i like the thing you made'#instead of going 'well you didn't like it enough to reblog/comment so clearly it's worthless to you'#reference

This work may not be very good because I was in a hurry to draw.

Okay, fine, since y'all seemed to love and thrive off the previous one, I shall share some more fruits of my very normal obsession. Let me know if there's a need for more. I have plenty. Elaborate backstories that are also lore conform are my kink.

Past Life Dark Urge Asks - 2nd Edition:

  1. Did your Durge interact with others of their assigned race? How did it go, did anyone notice something was off? Did they try to blend in?
  2. The Urge itself was Bhaal's greatest gift, a testament to their lineage. But did they despise or delight in these violent urges, did it maybe even scare them?
  3. Bhaal can control his chosen and force the Slayer or actions upon them; did he ever force your Durge to do something against their will or would they obediently follow?
  4. Durge has an inherent skill for anything medicine; what was their greatest skill? Sewing, caring for wounds, brewing potions or concocting poisons?
  5. The Deathstalker Cloak is part of their inheritance, but did they really use it or did it bide it's time wasting away in a wardrobe?
  6. Durges adoptive family lived in a house in the lower city. Does that house still stand? Did they claim ownership of it, or did they try to get rid of it? Why?
  7. Bane once sacrificed all of Bhaals assassins, a mistake that caused a great rift between them. Did Durge ever plan to get revenge for it?
  8. Being the head of a temple comes with lots of tedious work, did they truly manage all of it or did they try to outsource the best they could?
  9. The Feast of the Moon is a bhaalian ritual where priests told the stories of particularly interesting or unique kills. Was one of your Durges deeds ever discussed, or perhaps even turned into a beloved and often retold story?
  10. Speaking off, Day's Farewell was another ritual everyone of the clergy had to attend as evening dawned over Faerûn. But was it really everyone that came to the gathering, or did a particular Bhaalist sneak out at times or outright refuse attendance? Did they maybe even appear early, eagerly awaiting another service?
