People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.
I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.
Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!
I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.
It's what makes me proud of my art!
And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.
A very special shout out to the person who tagged "these mcgriddles make me want to shit so bad" on fanart in 2013 I think about you once a day

ADAM SCOTT as MARK S and MARK SCOUT
SEVERANCE (2022-) insp.
"history lives in us, whether we learn it or not."
helly despises being trapped from the moment she wakes up because helena despises being trapped, and her animalistic panic and urgency are manifestations of helena's deep-seated trauma.
helly's exposive anger and fight for control are helena's decades-repressed anger and conditioning herself into surrendering control. even helly's commitment to slouching is rooted in helena's rejection of the perfect manners she's been forced to emulate.
helly uses the most cult-like metaphors and conjectures -- "am i livestock? are the numbers bloody? do they chant? we're all covered in blood and i'm wearing your face, and that's a very powerful image to me" -- because there's a subconscious part of her that is aware of the violence of the world she was born into, and has been taught to use violence as power.
helly craves mark's approval when completing tasks because helena craves the cult's approval when completing tasks, which is a natural emotion of wanting to be accepted and appreciated by your community (and helena cannot choose her community, this is all she knows).
helly's acerbic wit becomes a lethal weapon in helena's hands because helena has always been surrounded by people who want to use her and has honed her mean streak into a defense tactic, rather than the bond-strengthening banter helly uses with the people she loves.
when embodying helly, helena slowly reclaims the parts of herself she's had to kill to survive her environment -- her reckless humor, her criticism of the cult, her longing for love -- setting her on a path to reconnect with her truest self and become bold enough to reject the only world she's been told she should live in.
