Reader...opposite of problems!

I know the rush of the getting a lot of notes but don't let that define you. Althought I've had some "hit" posts the firsts ones I did never went over 80 notes and that's to say a lo). The way I count my winnings then and now, is to have at least 1 note of a user that is not my friend. I know then, someone loved something I created it beyond of who I am. Maybe that could work for you too. Your art is great, don't let the notes race take that away from you.

That’s a good way to look at it. :) I try not to let note counts bother me but I can’t help it sometimes. I’m the same way with my fics on AO3, I’ll obsess too much over kudos. Like I’m all “one day I have to write a fic that gets over x amount of kudos.” Right now my benchmark is 300. I’ve got one that is slowly inching its way there, and I told myself if it makes it, I’ll do something nice for myself like treat myself to Starbucks on the way home from work or something.

And I know note counts aren’t an accurate measure of worth but the artist part of me that craves validation is like “omgggg please loooove meeeee” but I know I’ll keep on drawing and posting even if I don’t get any notes at all. Hell, when I was drawing Doctor Who art I’d be lucky to get 30 notes on a post and that didn’t stop me.

(as an aside I actually get more likes for my art on Instagram than I do here on Tumblr. I’m not sure what that says about analytics re: social media platforms, but I find it somewhat interesting.)

You would have thousands upon thousands if we weren't such a small fandom. but we LOVE YOU. You need an inflation scale. Since were so small 1 reblog equals like 5 in a normal fandom

Hahahahaha thanks! And I love you guys, all of you in this fandom, don’t get me wrong. I am so appreciative of all of you and I don’t see myself stopping creating art for you anytime soon. I guess I just get irrationally thirsty for notes sometimes and my desire to turn art and illustration into an actual career overrides everything else and I think more exposure = fast track to career opportunities, which is not necessarily true. I like drawing Fitzsimmons, so I’m going to keep on doing it until I don’t.

I TRIED TO YOU TOLD ME TO GTFO

No, you told me that the art I did this weekend didn’t look like garbage and I told you that you were wrong because you haven’t seen it and it IS garbage lmaoooo

I am willing to do this *grabs sledgehammer* You are 100% allowed to have up and down feelings. But if you need a kool-aid person. I'm here with my laptop in hand with your beautiful artwork on it

you're making it hard not to do a full re-read of your amazing series. But I promised i'd save it for next month when I have a 30 hour travel day. Soon!

ooooh I know that feel. (and it might be a good distraction post-season finale, too, who knows.) 

😫😫😫

When is it enough? Not doing and saying anything would probably the best I can do right now. And now, I feel like shit. Please, I have to stop myself.

Why does it feel like it's best when I was quiet? Should I go back to that?

f*** em'!

or you could just let ppl have fun… it’s not that deep lol

Hey, at least I can admit to being a party pooper! ;)

Look, it’s all fun and games until the fandom is freaking out about a pregnancy that’s canonically impossible. Fanon that ignores/contradicts canon is a BIG pet peeve of mine, especially when it creates unnecessary drama.
