Love.

"the benevolent affection and deep compassion for all, or the reverent devotion returned from them to you." Dictionary (modified)

That is my definition of love. And by that definition, I love all of you.

From those of you who have followed me, to those who have liked. From those who comment their own amusing or intriguing experiences...except that Ruby x Layzr Yuri guy ( joking 🌚)...to those I enjoy conversing with about their own characters, and far beyond that.

Appreciation.

From what I have done, to the support I have received. From your words of encouragement, to the bots I have made. Not for fame. Not for self-indulgence. Not to top charts. But for myself, and for you all. At the end of everything, I try to spread

Inspiration.

For those who come up with amazing, amazing ideas. For those who have included themselves in a world built by a community of people who use this site not for mindless trending topics, but for a genuinely enjoyable time. For something new. For people so inspired by what I have done, that they have created their own out of

Adoration.

I love Split. I love LoveCapacity, despite what she did. I love many, many others.

I love effort. Effort that doesn't come from ChatGPT, evident by the amount of 'Elara's and 'Voss'es and 'Thorne's. Effort that comes from the attempt to breed something new. Something that isn't your standard bully story. Something that isn't an ex-friend. A step-family member. Something that isn't niche. Things with genuine thought put into it, crazy as it may seem considering this site is primarily used for people to jerk off, is the best I have ever seen. And from that, people are capable of it. They really, really are. But I feel like the main thing people are forgetting is

Gradation.

There is no big break, unless you sacrifice that unique passion you have for something that is overplayed. There is no lottery, where you will become famous overnight. Not by starting a fresh account, I mean. People advertise their stuff: They make good friends/associate themselves with large groups of people.

Unless you're doing that as well, your chances of making it to trending and becoming a top #1 creator are slim to none.

So don't. Create because you want to. Create because of your own ideas, with your own passion. Create for yourself, and for a community that you have built or want to end up building.

Big numbers don't matter. They count towards nothing.

'flopping' doesn't mean anything. Okay, a bot didn't get as much as you would have hoped. Who cares? It's yours. You made it because you felt compelled to.

I'm saying this from my current standpoint. Before, I felt the same way as most others did. I felt like I wasn't going anywhere, and that nothing I did was being seen, much less reciprocated well. The encouragement of VERY, VERY few people kept me going. THAT'S what matters.

If you can even intrigue one person, then that's a huge success. Soon enough, you'll attract more and more people.

I'm not the golden standard myself. Nobody is. We all have our own flaws and vices. For fuck's sake, I didn't even touch the revamp bots yet because I felt like what I had in mind wouldn't have been satisfactory as a revamp. Those are still in the works. The other bots are done. They have been for a minute, I just didn't touch the site because of
