interesting to see your thoughts on this sorta topic! i find myself thinking on why i create fairly often. i think for me with writing, the current conclusion is that it's largely to express emotion/ideas, to make a thought as physical as i can. the way to make something feel the most real is to write it.
i spent enough years very very bad at both writing and drawing that i was forced to become aware of how bad I was at both. it kinda purged any sort of idealism from my creativity, and i ended up more selfish with what I made and why I made it. i had to be, because i was bad at it, lol. i had to really want to make something to make it, so i was selfish.
i guess i don’t really want to make any sort of moral good with my art, but if i was to be idealistic about it it’s just nice to be understood, even if it’s by two and a half randos on ao3 or whatever.
