DeviantArt being pro-genocide is... you know what, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I've been writing fan-fiction of the game "Monster Prom" for about a year now. It's been my quarantine project. Something to maintain my sanity. I've been burned-out on it for a couple of months though. Same thing happened to me with Technicolor OCT: I reached a point that felt insurmountable and it was so demoralizing. And then I play video games and sulk about it. My Dad died on November 27, 2020. Then it was a couple of months of toothache so painful I needed advil for breakfast, lunch and dinner until I could get a tooth yanked out. I was seriously worried that I would never wake up from the anesthetic. I tried to write just enough that people could have an ending just in case I didn't make it. I didn't want to end up like that Berserk guy. 30 years working on something and he never bothered to write that shit down somewhere. Not even a quick post-it note summary. I'm 35 years old. My Dad made it to 70. If I live as long as he did, then that means I'm middle-aged. My brain sees

Here's how I would have ended it:
The thing with Trucube pointing a gun at the other toon cliffhanger? He would have aimed the gun at Battsy instead.
He'd pull the trigger and... water would come out. She'd get soaked, and then realizing it's not bullets, the stream would lessen and weaken and soften like a dying erection once Trucube stopped squeezing the trigger. The idea is that Battsy just needed to see if one of them would pull the trigger at all, so that they wouldn't hesitate when it came time to assassinate the Mayor later. With an actual gun. She was actually going to let them both live, it was just a test.

Failing to finish the technicolor oct stuff I was trying after the tourney ended is an enormous failure on my part. At the same time, I can't control when everything I draw is so bad that it frustrates and discourages me from drawing for weeks or months at a time.
I wonder if I should just write up a summary of how I would have ended it. It's years after anyone noticed or cared anymore.
I mean, nobody is on deviantart anymore either.
who the hell am I even talking to anymore?
why is this important enough for me to feel bad about it but not enough to be able to do it right??

I wouldn't consider myself popular or anything, and I'm not going to say there aren't hypocrites out there. I bet there are tons of people in that position who would crumble without the validation. We do all need to support independent content more ^^
BUT I can tell you that even if it sucks a lot of the time, Validation shouldn't be at the top of the priority list when it comes to creative content. Sure it might be a thing that keeps you going, but If I got bummed out everytime someone didn't comment on my comic, or forward to a friend a thing I did, idk if I'd be able to go on. Don't forget you're also doing this for you and what inspires you!!
You are extremely talented and it's been a joy to watch you through TTOCT, but when that tournament's over don't think I wont keep watching ya to see where your art takes ya!. cheers
