Itโs so funny to make headcanons for your own ocs because they COULD be canon but nah it would lowkey just be interesting if it was. Nothing at all is stopping me from making them canon but liek theyโre just not. Schrรถdingerโs oc.

if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are โowedโ
Itโs an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. Iโve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they canโt ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough
But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of โitโs bad to want validation or attention or engagementโ, and to me, thatโs not what this means.
Itโs perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.
And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.
the words used by OP is decouple, and this is important. Nothing wrong wanting engagement. But it cannot be tightly coupled with the drive to create.
makes me sad that most YouTube art videos are about "how to make your ocs interesting", "how to grow your account in social media", "how to not make mary sues" like what happened to just drawing for fun and sharing it- oh wait I forgot this is the result of lolcowing people for their technical art skills and or clout related things.
we are in an era where people openly and harshly judge people's creative output because of the normalization of having a "freak" of the week. it makes me sad cuz as artists we should be having fun, not treating social media like an art competition or forcing our art to be "perfect" and digestible.
another thing is the constant need to market yourself and assimilate into a squeaky clean brand via treating social media like full time job rather than hobby you put your art on and occasionally get paid for. it's not a moral failing but I swear it's another form of art being controlled and governed by capitalism.

๐๏ธ - need to do more with my ocs... specifically need to figure out their relationships to each other. maybe one day i'll be brave enough to role-play with em T-T
Things to do with your characters to flesh them out
Write fanfics / AUs about them
Answer personality tests as if you were them
Do various Picrews or other dress up games
Write AITA posts from their perspective
Build their wardrobe by creating/collecting outfits
Figure out their perfume/scent using the search by notes function on fragrantica
Put together a playlist of songs that they would listen to
Create a family tree for them on familyecho.com
Make a concept album for a singer au, with a cover and songs they would write and sing
Create a โWhatโs in my bag?โ for them
Design their home in homebyme.com
Fill out character templates
Roleplay as them with other people on oc social network (no ai involved or even allowed!)
Design (fake) social media pages for them
(Zeeob for most social medias and texting, PhotoNote for fake instagram, Twinote for fake twitter, TweetGen for tweets and replies, Classtools Fakebook for fake facebook, โฆ)
a character who truly, legitimately goes โbut why does that matter?โ about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around themโs faces as they realize that this person doesnโt recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesnโt think of themselves as a person?
