Little Twinkle

Bucky grew up poor in depression era New York and yet despite PTSD and *not being in control* he had to endure a ton of narrative punishment and spend *years* proving he's not just bad.

Yelena was a poor kid from Russia. Bob was a poor kid from Florida. Nobody helped either of them with their trauama. Instead they're just left in the gutter or even blamed for "making their problems everyone else's business".

Although I haven't watched Ironheart, there's also a general pervasive attitute with characters from poor backgrounds that trauma is "no excuse" and they have to take responsibility.

But of course, anything and everything Tony does is excusable because of "muh PTSD", and all the much, MUCH poorer characters have to take full responsibility for everything they've ever done, extenuating circumstances and mental issues be damned.

I want weird shit that's not easy to market like Mad God. I want passion projects like Outer Wilds that feel like a gift to the heart. I want imperfect masterpieces like Arcane that push the limits of art.

I want the corporate mindset to die in all media.

there will always be someone who finds fault in your work. there will be people who read the messages on it wrong. there will be people who will take every compelling aspect about your work off of it so they can put in their own.

you cannot make art for these people.

you will never write a story that is free from criticism. you will never draw a piece that everyone finds appealing. you will never compose a song that everyone enjoys hearing. you cannot, fundamentally, set out to create something and only think of how you can avoid someone not liking it.

because, and this is key, there will be someone who sees every angle of your story and feels its intent in their heart and gushes to their friends about it. you will draw someone's favorite art and they will make it their phone wallpaper because they want to see it every day. someone will fall in love with your song and loop it on their way to work because it gets them through the day. and THOSE are the people your work is for. THOSE are the people you have to care about, because they love what you make for what it is - because it's itself.

if you set out to create something and file off every sharp edge, prune every thorn, you will be left with something fragile and weak, and it will be fragile and weak for the sake of someone who does not exist but that you were scared of anyway.
