The Fancure Confessional

Cure Secret

It is!

precure cool but fancures? cooler 😎

Supporting others is so important, and I hate to see people quit because they aren't getting the support or encouragement that they deserve. :(

It gets super tiring for me, because I feel like I'm always seeing the bad side of the community, rather than the good side, which I haven't seen much since I joined.

im too scared to post any fancure work on twitter because my twitter audience is very different than my amino audience. i feel like ill be judged

I opened up a bit more about myself, and now I feel like less of the community talks to me or acknowledges me. I’m starting to wonder if I shot myself in the foot.

When I first came into the community, I got a bit worried over whether I could fit in and make friends, but honestly I worried for nothing. I've really come to appreciate others as creators and friends, and I love hearing about their works so much! Especially on Discord, it feels like I have a supportive and fun little family :)

Gonna be honest here, in my humble opinion, it's really hard to get noticed for making a fanseries. There's just so many great creators that are out there and sometimes it feels like a battle to get your work out there because you have this heavy competition. Kinda makes me unmotivated to work on my own series sometimes.

I hate angst. Like, I really, really hate angst, it makes me uncomfortable. This leads to two problems: trying to like fanseries that put me off but would be really good otherwise, and trying to write emotionally deep stuff myself. I'm worried that if I don't put in angst, my writing will seem shallow.

in my fanseries one of the cures asks out her teammate and gets rejected by her. I made the other cure bi as to not fall into the ‘lesbians creep on straight girls’ trope but I’m SO scared people will think I’m queerbaiting due to the fact that I’ve hinted at a potential relationship between the two, but she’s just gonna get rejected.

I know people say it's a very welcoming place, and I always make up excuses to myself (I wouldn't fit in, No one would like my series, ect.). Maybe one day I'll stop over thinking, and just join.

I wish people were nicer in the comments of confessions. Sometimes they come off as trying to be sarcastic or mean and I'm sure they mean well, but unless you use some sort of tone indicator they come off as rude to me.

This blog hasn’t been good for my mental health. I’m sorry; I’m glad this blog is doing good for some people, but knowing some folks would rather complain anonymously than try to talk it out, it’s not reassuring about the community. It’s not very Precure of those people. 

Sometimes, I play my bad writing off as clues to something cryptic, just to save face.
