"In this world the worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved."
I genuinely started to cry at this line.
It hurts being an artist that feels like he's some kind of mistake. A stain on the planet and a failure of humanity, making silly creatures that nobody seems to care about. I've felt like I'll never find a group that wants me and makes me feel like I matter. I've pushed myself more and more to make better animations just so people would deem me worthy of a career and I could find my place in the world.
This was supposed to be a scary episode. And it was; but not for the monster or the possession. It's because I felt like there are others out there who understand my plight and made me face my own despair.
The director said she wanted to make people sad at times, and she certainly succeeded. But I'm okay with this kind of sadness. It hurts, but the validation gives me hope and allows me to keep making art.
@gooseworx Thank you. Thank you so, so much for making people like me feel seen. You and your team have made another masterpiece.
