Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission “official” book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we’ve created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It’s the only way to live!!
me constantly releasing press junkets about my OCs like they are actual celebrities and i am their PR agent
idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol
One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine
