• Putting This Out There •
This isn't anything too serious, but it was significant enough for me to take the time and write this out. I know it's already discussed among creators whether it's one artist to another or adoring fans to their favorite writer, but I think it should be emphasized that you should at least...
Do what you do because you like doing it.
Self explanatory, yes. I still see people doing otherwise. It's- heavily subjective and of course not everyone has the same goal, but speaking as both an artist and a writer I firmly believe that everyone will have their time. And by that I mean we'll all have our days where we feel unstoppable in what we're making, or days where we feel as if we lost all ability to do what we love— that's normal and perfectly valid, whether your piece has single digit notices or hundreds of thousands of likes the fact still remains that you made it because you wanted to. It's a whole other story if it's something commission related yes but even then- why exactly do you do it? It started from your own accord. If you're in a state where you're unsure of your place or feel as if all you're doing is going to waste, I want you to know that it's not. For the sole reason that it's you spending more time with your hobby or passion- a priceless allotment that slowly walks you down that path of artistry. You'll keep going down that winding road and yes you'll get boosts via validation or fame like an extra push and yes you'll have days where your engine is going to need a bit of rest but keep in mind that, regardless of your history or how far down you've gone on that pathway, you're still at the end of the day moving forward and I think that's what makes it more worthwhile.
I write, I draw, I've had my spikes of momentary glory and posts going unseen despite the equal effort I've poured, but I think even then I don't regret anything. Even if something boomed and roused high demand I wouldn't force myself to expand on it if I know from myself that I wouldn't be giving it my 100%, same goes with the unrecognized pieces I've done in both hobbies, I still do my best to give the same quality of post to fandoms that don't even let it reach at least 10 likes. That never became a turn off for me in fact it might’ve even motivated me to do more for the sole drive that I enjoy playing with the ideas requested or I think of in the middle of the day.
This, is all just my own perspective of things and I'm not saying I'm right nor am I saying you can't disagree but all I ask is, don't let outside factors dictate when or what you can make. Tis all.

I apologize for the lack of content lately I think I swerved into writer's block these days then had my booster shot recently 💀. Writings and headcanons will resume next week!
As a strong yumeship/OcXCanon enthusiast, please please please dears do not undermine others who ship their OCs with the canon cast. As long as it's legal and harmless I don't see any reason why people should berate someone for doing something that makes them happy, so far no one has ever commented on my own yumeshipping but I'd rather not have me nor my followers receive such toxic treatment. These characters are fictional and I hope you guys can understand that everyone can love them like the next person.

For the dear anon who sent me a message complaining that I can't ship my oc with a canon character because they think they own this character, just let me tell you one thing...
