I'm in my hate my art moment but I am really proud of myself because this year and especially recently I have drawn more than ever. and the fact that I dislike what I do means I am improving and if I put my heart into practicing I'll get so much better soon

This!
Learning is a process, especially when we are young. We succeed, we make mistakes, we try, but it's the effort that matters.
Like in a good adventure story, it's about the way and how it changes us. It's not only about the knowledge we retain, but also the skills we acquired - how to handle knowledge, how to solve problems, how to express ourselves...
It's like walking. If you get a ride everywhere, you build neither stamina nor muscles. And you grow more and more dependent on riding. Taking the walks is tiring and might not make you into an athlete, but it sure is good for your overall health.
"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.
six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.
point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but you won't build you the the muscles.

Some more for the list, if you don't mind
*rakes leaves in fall "because it looks messy" or "my kids/dog/etc LOVE playing in the raked mounds!! ❤️"
*unsustainable moss (or any plant really but moss especially) foraging
*planting invasive species/seeds in wild areas "for biodiversity"
*using poisons on infestations or local pests like rats and mice
*I got rid of it all, I want some pretty plants (looking at milkweed, bb I'm so sorry)
*I got these wildflower meadow seeds from the garden centre, they help wildlife!! (Not catered to your area or the biome you live in)

I feel like there are so many microadjustments we can make to our behaviors to make the most affected in our communities feel a bit safer and listened to and yet over and over I see folks get shit on for making literally the tiniest requests.
If a trans woman asks you to stop calling her dude or bro or whatever, you stop. If a Black person asks you to stop using AAVE, you stop. If a disabled person asks you to walk slower, you slow down and let them set the pace. You don't fucking argue with them, or provide some limp excuse like "i use it in a gender neutral way" "it's tiktok speak" "I can't help walking fast, I'm gay". Just change your behavior and don't make a big thing about it. It's like the lowest bar possible and still people trip over it.

I was 14 too when I wrote my first fanfic, a 10k Shaman King mess with OCs made out of my middle school friends. I was already writing non-fanfic then, very awkwardly of course, but this project was the beginning of taking writing seriously, with intent and purpose. And of course, it was bad, it was childish and cringe.
But then it wasn't.
Because a Shaman King messy angsty fanfic led to two or three others, then to shorts novels, then to actual full-on original novels. Because it led me to learn about narrative technique and worldbuilding, to get insanely fast at typing - and okay, I'm never gonna be famous or anything, that was never the point anyway.
Fanfic helped me connect with people who enjoyed what I was doing. It's what ignited the feeling of oh shit I may just have found a piece of me.
AO3 is not a classroom, you're not there to get evaluated. It's not a workplace, it's not a school, it's a platform made for free, unbound, raw artistic expression.
So why would you have a dislike button in a place like this?
People don't write on AO3 to get evaluated, or mocked, or blamed. They're here to share and connect. And you can help them grow with constructive criticisms and advices - seriously, when did a dislike had taught anybody anything?
"i want a dislike button on ao3" so you want less fanfic. even if you don't think you want less fanfic you want less fanfic. because when people start getting dislikes on their fanfic they will want to write less fanfic. hope this helps <3
