|| One downside about being “popular” or tumblr influential or whatever the fuck i am, is that you can do literally nothing right. Everyone’s watching and there’s always going to be someone who nitpicks the things you make for others to enjoy for free. I give my art/writing/singing for free because I like you guys. I’m not getting paid for this. I’ve never even gotten a ko-fi. With the exception of some regular people, I don’t do commissions often and nobody’s paying me for the free drabbles/original headcanons/overall entertainment I’m giving here not just because I enjoy sharing but because I like my friends/followers and want to entertain them. But a little cutback on the constant nitpicking would be nice. I write a site-wide event to include everyone that includes basically the equivalent of a short story for free. That gets punched at for plot holes in a meta comments. I make a joke about goths, that gets ragged on too. And that was ooc and totally me, not a character. Can people...maybe lay off? I’m just one person. I’m not in a professional critique group workshopping a story or art piece for sale and mass consumption. I’m giving small gifts to the rp community as best I can. And I’m not obligated to be creative/funny/entertaining.
I’m constantly reacted to and it’s completely flattering most of the time because it means my plots or whatever are interesting and people are taking note. But fuck. Some people remind me why if you’re good at something you shouldn’t do it for free.
For the record, I am casual goth irl. My joke was about how people always draw/imagine goths scowling and frowning. Not a sounding board for your character to attack me/a real person. This isn’t instance 1 of this kind of thing so I’m addressing it.
I’m only one person and I’m sensitive too. And when everyone is watching you it can be tiring when there’s constant influx of snide comments.
