reblogging this because in in a really painful rut right now, and seeing my followers, hearing what you have to say and knowing that i inspire so many of you, it makes me want to keep trying.
remember that no matter how bad you feel? there are people who look up to you! dont worry about popularity, or follower counts, just work at it because YOU want to. there will be people who love it. ❤
Drawing can’t always be fun. Sometimes you gotta hunker down and draw like a crazy person all alone in solitary confinement. Turn on music, a documentary or something that won’t need much of your vision since you’ll be drawing. Or podcasts. Sometimes you got to mentally chain yourself to the table and do something you don’t want to do. And backgrounds are quite the chore, it’s gonna be hard work.
“Drawing can’t always be fun.”
Once you accept this truth, see your productivity skyrocket! Artists who struggle to get going are always searching for inspiration, or motivation, but the key is actually… RESIGNATION.

People who leave crit on fanfiction without being asked: Writing is easy and you deserve to be criticized for doing this, even though it’s a hobby. Your characterizations aren’t the way I like. I saw a trope that’s so unoriginal. You misspelled these words and your grammar is messed up here and here, and out of the entirety of the 50k story you wrote, I’m leaving this comment to tell you how much you suck because of those mistakes.

u may have killed my favorite character but u will never kill my spirit. or my love for them. or my ability to talk about them for an irritatingly long amount of time
