You don’t need a reason to make art. This doesn’t even solely apply to dark art. Go write that found family Alvin and the Chipmunks self insert fanfiction if that’s what really makes you happy. If you create as a coping mechanism, you don’t have to publicly delve into any horrible backstory or thing you’re living through in order to justify any of your creations. You don’t even have to tell people it’s a coping mechanism, that’s your business. You don’t need anyone’s approval to make art, no justifying of anything necessary.
I almost forgot to share my queensnow art doodles! They should kiss more often I will make them kiss more often, they’re absolutely precious.
I should also write about them… One of my friends gave me a terrific idea for a oneshot and I still have it lingering in my mind, I need to write it down!
That whole ship dynamic meme is them… Literally them uughh I love them so much 😭💕
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s okay to not constantly be producing content. It’s good, in fact! Rest is part of the creative process. The internet isn’t going anywhere. Your fandom friends aren’t all going to forget about you or unfollow you if you don’t produce something every week or month or whatever. As soon as creating begins to feel like a job, then it’s time to take a rest. Create for the joy of creating, not because you feel like you need to.
