@phcraftlove Iโm sorry, the algorithm is awful and I hate AI slop so much, it gets exhausting seeing it blow up while people working super hard donโt ๐ but for what itโs worth, I personally really love your art and writing and I always look forward to seeing it ๐ซ
Iโm so done with this. Iโve never felt less motivated to draw or write. Itโs been 2.5 years, and while Iโve seen people at my skill level get tons of interaction and followers, I still suck a big one. All. The. Time. AI slop gets hundreds, thousands of likes. My hand-drawn art gets about 30 at best. No views. No likes. No followers.
Yes, I mostly draw for myself, but show me at least one creative person who doesnโt care about engagement or validation. Iโve never met one.
The same applies to my fics. And given how draining writing is for me, it hurts even more.
That said, I donโt think Iโll be drawing much in the future. Iโll still do it occasionally, but Iโm really struggling with motivation right now.
As for writing, I plan to finish translating Join with the Spite of Fortune, however slowly that process goes.
So if you feel a strong urge to unfollow, go ahead. Iโm working hard on not caring anymore.
Iโll draw them soon butโฆI think the kids should have devil features (horns and such) and talk to each other in infernal (neither of their parents taught them to do that, Astarionโs scared of them and caz thinks itโs cute)
They love caz, heโs โdaddy ๐ฅฐโ and Astarion is โpapa ๐โ
