This site is too good for brainstorming OCs

Great time to have an expired credit card, hmm...

I could be working on art based out of things I wanna make but... Seriously! Nobody cares!

The only reason anyone gets attention is if they draw pre-existing characters from franchises they are familiar with! They don't really care about what YOU come up with, silly!

Aiite

I had to be broke and it went to shit again. I am still proud of how much it endured in these unkempt roads.

I know it's going to happen again, it's the inevitability of having good ideas.

I stopped drawing or designing things years ago because someone began to sell clothing with a design I made.

I stopped because it's not fair that I do not have any sort of audience, nobody gives a shit about what I have or am able to make until someone with better reception grabs it for themselves and I am unable to reap any reward from it-- not even the people who love the design I made even bother to follow when I make enough a racket about the theft.

I decided to try and draw again to see if maybe things would change, nobody gives a shit about what I do.

Se pueden ir al carajo.

This year has been a particularly difficult one for everyone and I have not been exempt from this. I don't have much to do other than exist and be tormented by the fact that in order to get ahead in life I have to talk to people... I had proposed myself to get over this and at least learn to socialize better in person, just as I did lockdown had to happen. Talking to strangers on the internet simply because of interests isn't the same anymore, I remember when I felt comfortable talking on public chatrooms in sites like Nectarine Radio and DeviantART. I wasn't scared of what people would say about me because the salt was usually abandoned if either party blocked each other... No, that's not the case anymore.

The reason why I do not feel safe talking to people anymore is because of something that happened 3 years ago on Facebook. I used to make Vaporwave up to last year and I was trying to reach out to other local artists to try and see if we could work together, the one person who was active at the time and responded to me at first lied to an entire group of thousands of people into bullying me... Simply because I asked him to make sure that the venue he was going to perform at had it's permit up to date, a band that's comprised of people I know from college had the police shut down their event because the venue didn't have their permits up to date.

Even though everyone moved on in that group to the next people to harass it shook me that a single person was able to make me look like a villain in front of everyone. I can't get myself to DM people or keep a conversation going online without being in fear of this happening again.

I know none of you care, I don't even know why I bothered to write this here since nobody cares about me.

Why do I? Because when I was learning to draw I would always use what I had at my reach (mechanical pencils and ink pens). I can shade with a damned pen but I cannot for the life of me paint or blend anything.

When I create things I tend to immerse myself in the concept of the topic, this time it's no different. During the past months that the safety measures have been enacted by law there has been an influx of immature middle-aged people (mainly in the USA) not wanting to listen to reason despite all warnings for their own sake. Being the way that I am I dissected the reason why these people are the way they are and I wish to explain it here.

Everyone loves to pin the fault of everything on the Boomer generation without hesitation, what most don't realize is that right now the roles are different which leaves the invisible generation to blame for many of the social qualms of today. Unlike their Millennial children, Generation X isn't talked about because their parents were never around to judge them as they were left unsupervised to do whatever they pleased with enough allowance money to do whatever they wanted (which their absent parents earned in number pushing jobs that don't exist anymore, which is why they weren't home). This is where the feeling of entitlement comes from and is a strong characteristic in the "Karen" trope we see these days inundating our social media feeds. When these adults were minors they were given free reign to do whatever the fuck they wanted and now as hormonal middle-aged people they don't want to be given anything less.

The reason GenX is responsible for humiliating it's own children (Millennials and early GenZ) is because they didn't have adults to rely on, they pent up everything and thus they believe that it is abnormal for children to be selfish/attention seeking.

You might just be saying in your mind that this whole talk about Generations is unimportant, yet the reason why we keep bringing it up is because every single factor accumulates and falls like an avalanche in the future which is why it is now that the generation everyone forgets about is loud and unruly. Introspective reflection is important if we are to avoid making the same mistakes.

I am aware that eventually criticism will get to me about my drawings but I need to clear out the following for you:

I have arthritis.

Because of my condition I am having to strip back on many things I would've done to my art for the sake of not straining my hands, please excuse me for not making the most ideal designs.
