no but really, like 

i know that some folks love telling creative people that “you should be doing it for fun because you love it not for the compliments” but creative people thrive on feedback whether it’s critical or just complimentary

so when i write fanfiction and don’t get any actual feedback i feel like i spent all that time and energy doing it for nothing because i’m not getting feedback from the people i wrote it for 

doing something you’re proud of and then presenting it to the sound of utter silence is like the worst feeling on earth 

Fucking AMEN. Me with my art. 

Giving compliments and feedback literally costs nothing to you, but will make not just the creator’s day, but possibly their entire life. I guarantee you, that one nice comment you left will be remembered years later.
