Slight vent by Nyx_The_Moth

I've been a bit unsure if I want to say this but even if no one sees this I'd just like to get my thoughts out there
and while this little comic thing is a bit of an exaggeration the point still stands how I feel like I don't get much engagement on my posts like I could be blabbering on about anything on my mind but people will care more about the art itself rather than my actual thoughts and feelings on it (more in comments

and I know that nobody HAS to but I just wish I had more people to talk to even if I may sometimes find talking to people scary
though it probably doesn't help that I'm in a fandom that seems to be very d3ad here and I really doubt that anybody would play the games just to talk to me about it I mean It'd be very silly to even think that at all on both sides and while I've for the most part accepted this fact I still can't help but feel lonely and to long for connection

honestly one of the reasons I got an account on here was not only to post my art but also to talk to people and maybe make friends
honestly there's maybe one person I'd consider a friend on here but I'm to scared to even ask them if they feel the same way but like I said talking to people is scary and I'm just not really sure
I feel like I'm getting a bit off topic here but I'm mostly just talking to myself anyway so what does it really matter

honestly though despite having a little over 300 followers I feel pretty lonely on here
it really does feel like people only care about my art and not me the artist and I know I probably sound whinny but I've seen people with far fewer followers with far more engagement and far more friends than I've ever had and does that make me selfish? is it really that bad that I wish I had friends too? that I could connect to people easyer? that people would like me too?

honestly I'm not even sure if this is making me feel better or worse and I could say more but I think I need to know when to stop
anyway I probably won't be doing this again or at least not anytime soon and expect actual art sometime soon-ish

I care and I think you and your art are cool!

Oh I totally know what you mean :(
I get a decent amount of stars, but rarely do I ever have a properly nice conversation with anyone (anymore - Colors has dıed a bit methinks)
It's pretty discouraging, especially since I'm nowhere near as well-known on other social media platforms, so this was the only place where I could get to know people and have people like my art AND talk to me

I'm ALWAYS happy to listen to people talk about the things they love, so if you ever wanna, hit me up :)

Also, your style is so INCREDIBLY cool, and the comic you made is blōōdy AMAZING - you deserve so much more love and attention on here <3
