For me, it's a mixed bag; I enjoy creating content and writing new work, but I find it important to get that validation from a reader. Some of my works are written for the attention of one person, so all I really want is for that individual to get enthusiastic and give me feedback. Part of it comes from my original intentions.  When I write fic,  for example, I've got a specific audience in mind, so it does smart when I don't the as much attention as I'd like.  With my original works, it's really cool to see people react to it.          Though yeah, I agree that the love of art and making content should be the primary reason for making things.  I can't imagine dedicating so much of my life to writing if it was always such a painful process!

For me there's a difference in the intention. I create art for myself, so I can enjoy it. If I would bake you a cake, I would do it for you, to make you, happy so when you won't react I would be sad

When you make things for a specific person and they don’t react, it’s perfectly understandable to be unhappy when there’s no reaction at all to gauge whether they like it or not!

In that case, it doesn’t even really matter if it’s about gifts that go unappreciated or commissioned works that go without feedback, or just self-advertising for commissions/giveaways/etc which goes ignored, since all of these have a goal that involves an audience and goes beyond the joy of simply creating.

That’s a very specific context though, and not one I often see adressed - if it is, it’s always very clear, but that is not the kind of complaint I meant. Those would be much more general:

Creators share but the audience doesn’t engage, or not as much as the person thinks it should. And THAT is where I have trouble following. How does one determine how much or what kind of recognition is adequate?

One measure I can think of is the unfortunate but ever-present comparing of oneself to others and how much attention THEY get; which is a really wobbly measure and also pretty harmful. Also common is “I put so much effort into this and no one reacts”, which makes it seem like recognition by others should be the reward for the effort, but??? I don’t know how it’s for you fellow creators but in my works, a shit-ton of effort doesn’t necessarily SHOW very plainly in the piece. It could, but doesn’t always. Meanwhile, something I just shook out of my sleeve may be received much better.

Anyway, my thoughts are fraying and I’m beginning to ramble I guess. I have a lot to say about this but trouble expressing it neatly. The bottom line though is that I often get the feeling for many people, creating isn’t as much about SHARING WITH the audience but MAKING FOR the audience. The latter just seems like setting yourself up for disappointment when you put the worth of your stuff in other people’s hands (or heads). I fully encourage people to create art THEY like, even love and are truly passionate about, so if nobody eats their cake, they can happily eat it themselves.

Hi, I wanted to build a 4*+10 Ares. Coincidentally I've pulled a spare 5* Eldigan so would it work if I refine his weapon to Dark Mysteltainn and give it to Ares? Or do I have to sacrifice the feathers to promote him? Thanks for the help!

As far as I’m aware it won’t work because its a legendary weapon and only equipable by the OG User. If Im wrong someone let me know, I just remember you can’t with Falchion.

La-Mulana

it's good video game. but also very different from most in its genre (metroidvania). very puzzle focused, namely environmental puzzles and applying cryptic hints to said environment. (take your pick of the soundtrack, it's all good, whether the original or remake)

Bonus: Life is Beautiful (Deadly Premonition)

one of the strangest yet most captivating games I've played (and need to finish). this theme plays in like, 70% of all cutscenes. even where it doesn't fit. especially where it doesn't fit. it's silly, and also, amazing.

14, 24, 34?

THANKS FOR THE ASK!

14. Do you believe in luck and miracles?

I do believe in luck because I am aware that I’m an extreme lucky person in general... less in love and game XD 

As for miracles... I really don’t know... I want to believe but I’d rather have a scientific explanation than miracles. 

24. Favorite part of your daily routine?

Coming home after work and watching The Simpsons in TV. 

34. Do you play sports? What sports?

Sadly, no. I often think it would be nice to start playing volleyball again but I feel like I’m too old to just join a club... 

@ Everyone: Feel free to ask!

Hi, I have a +atk/-spd V!Ike and the free neutral one, which one do you suggest to keep? Thanks for the help!

If you want to abuse ignis then -spd, otherwise neutral is safer cause you avoid doubles,
