FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT you are allowed to feel proud of yourself for things that might seem silly to other people, like getting better at a video game or putting together a nice outfit for the next morning or finishing a book. You deserve to feel proud for your accomplishment.

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

Other than the brief reign of cable television, this is how cartoons have always worked. Transformers, MLP, the thousand spinoffs of 80s movies, Jem and the Holograms, Spongebob, Avatar, Pokémon, the entire anime industry. This isn't just an indie thing; historically, no one but toy collectors has ever paid for cartoons to be made. That's why Netflix doesn't make any original animations, they just contract DreamWorks for cheap spinoffs of their movies where all the assets have already been made and all they have to pay for is the puppetry. Every fiction artist should be used to this by now. Cartoons must come with toys that pay for the production because no one will pay for them otherwise. It's been that way almost since television was invented. And before that, the Flintstones sold cigarettes.

you dumb asshole, you just won $0,000
