Can you do some more comics with Francis mosses
I can, but the problem is
That I’m pretty much out of ideas and I’m progressively getting tired of tnmn fandom
Ppl who look at my tags probably noticed that 😓
More of my thoughts under read more for curious ppl
(short answer maybe I will do more, but I desperately need a break from tnmn)
! Just a general warning: this came out kinda long + sort of venty
Originally I planned to do 1 comic drop and move on, but got stuck bc ppl liked tnmn comics and kept asking for more (and still do-)
Generally I don’t mind doing more if the ideas are there, but I want to address this: I’m tired
I know blowing up is usually a good thing and I appreciate people enjoying my stuff
But it’s exhausting to see that tnmn is the only type of content which is relevant, to the point that my own projects or stuff I enjoy are just kinda.. ignored
It’s fair – again my blog is heavily fandom based
(+Tsp were and still is kinda the focus)
But with tnmn fandom it’s a bit… different
Maybe I’m biased and it’s just my negative experience with tiktok comments
Remember this art?
cleaning up transphobic comments was.. um tough
Again, I get that you can’t be in that neat bubble completely sheltered from negativity
Humans are just assholes by nature really/j
So I was expecting the backlash, but not that much
I think maybe tsp fandom spoiled me a bit (in a good way), bc I got a feeling that everyone in tsp was positive of any lgbt+ headcanons and just generally more supportive
(don’t get me wrong, there ARE problems in tsp community too, taking narrators design controversy into account as one of the examples)
Obviously every fandom always has it’s own issues, show me at least one fandom that didn’t have some sort of meaningless controversy or some sort of problematic people in it
It happens
But it leaves a bad taste in your mouth sometimes
And for me personally it only added to not so pleasant experience
The thing I also noticed, when I interacted with other fandoms
Ppl wrote positive stuff first and foremost, not really asking for anything
Here it’s just “hey more. I want more. Do more. Do this character. Do this. Do more.”
The only reason I kept doing more, because likes, reblogs, views – these comics get a ton of attention
there is a audience to please alright
But this thing comes with a pressure tho
and it shows
so let me illustrate
This bookcase
Is my shame
Because I was so rushing, I just copied and colour corrected this bookcase from my diploma comic and pasted it here in hopes for the best
💥IT LOOKS HORRIBLE OKAY💥
Usually it’s normal to take materials used in other projects
the not so normal part is
to leave it like that because your stress reducing tea doesn’t work and you don’t really have time to redraw it
my m en ta l s t a t e i s f i n e ah ah h ah ah
Ok but jokes aside: it’s really tempting, to just abandon everything and produce content like some sort of content farm
But I don’t want to, I’m forcing myself and it makes my art worse
Yes it’s subtle, new people won’t even see this
But I’m not improving
And I don’t enjoy just anxiously popping out comics because everyone keeps asking
I can give it my all to something when I’m passionate, but just “hey I’m getting attention” is not the best motivator
Attention like that does get to my head, I know that I will probably give in again and do more, bc I will compare my posts engagement
But what’s the point of recognition, when you feel.. so numb about it…
Sorry for a mountain of text and thank you for ppl who actually took their time to read it
It’s been building up for a while and I feel like people need to know the reason why I’m not so enthusiastic about making “more”
I’m not necessarily completely abandoning this fandom
I still plan to do ask/suggestions event for STP (I’m just making sure I can dedicate my time to it, that’s why it’s taking so long) and I can add tnmn to the mix
Like STP+tnmn kind of deal
But for now – I need a break
At least for a little bit

Bear you gotta understand i didn't read the tags and didn't know those were oc's and by your comic alone i thought it was a game so i checked the tags to see on which fandom this was because it sounded so good and I AM SO AWED LIKE WOAAAH THIS IS YOUR OWN THING, ITS ADORABLE AND SO COOL LIKE 👏
THATS SUCH A COOL CONCEPT AND ITS VERY VERY VERY NICE I QUITE LOVE IT WILL YOU EVER POST MORE ABOUT THEM?
*tiny sob*
🥺🥹❤️💞💕 I’M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT 🥺🥹❤️💕💞❤️
Thank you so much man, this means a world to me❤️🥺
Again when ppl like my personal projects, it makes me so happy ✨
*tiny happy bear jumps*
I didn’t plan on posting more about them (for now) 👉👈
Bc first - their story is finished
(for now)
(I do have a small idea for continuation, but even if I’ll decide to do it, it’s for far faaaar in the future)
Second
Comparing the reception between my comic and that’s not my neighbour comics makes me wanna curl up in a ball a sob
My next post will probably be something tnmn related, bc otherwise tnmn ppl will make a bear schnitzel out of me/silly
Yea basically ppl really liked those comics
I get that oc stuff usually don’t get much traction + it’s harder to get ppl interested, so it’s to be expected really
But‼️☝️
if you want to send some doodle requests/or like asks for robo sillies, I will gladly do them ✨

So
A year has passed 💥
Around this time last year I randomly decided to actively start posting art again
And damn
So much fun stuff I couldn’t even imagine happened
Also we recently hit 1K 💥
I’m not the type to celebrate (anything) really, but just wanted to say thank you for being here ❤️
It means a lot to see that people like and appreciate my art, I’m glad that I can share my stuff like that
I didn’t intend to make some sort of celebration art or some sort of event for the occasion, but I just so happen to have something interesting 👀 (will post it in an hour or so)
