California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like:
• counting bumblebees one by one
• rebuilding woodrat stick huts
• hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat
@hey_its_averie You're right in that it's never the same answer for everyone. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to want their audience to like their characters, but the moment that question gets asked outright, it feels more like a business transaction than it does sharing art
Does anyone get the same sort of weirded out when people ask "How do I get people to care about my OCs?" In the same manner people directly ask "Can we be friends?"
Idk man, it'll happen or it won't. If you have to ask, it's already making it a bit weird

It's definitely cathartic, though. Learning how to reconnect with that lively childhood self is basically the entire point of therapy. I think Heng-e deserves that, at the very least
Writing Heng has been really difficult because of how fundamentally different we are. The only thing we have in common is how our cheery dispositions have slowly been weathered away because of time and tragedy and that's not exactly fun to write about😅
