Tye- I know I'm not one of the people close to you so me doing this might seem weird. Sorry if it does. But I kind of had to. First off, this is not me pitying you because I know you don't want that and frankly don't need that. I'm not going to say that I'm going through the same thing you are, because I'm not. But I get it. You've never wasted MY time, and I doubt you've ever wasted anybody else's. You're one of the nicest people I know, both inside and outside of Scratch. You want the truth? Here's the truth. Art IS hard. The only reason I started in the first place was because of how easy you made creating amazing art seem. My only motivation is that maybe if I try for long enough, some day I'll be almost as good as you are. You have interesting storylines, detailed shading, incredible facial expressions, and even your sketches look incredible. And even if /they/ are more popular, that doesn't necessarily mean they're better. Just... more widespread. For some reason, people like generic, boring stories more than ones made by people like you. So please remember that people are on your side and still support you, even if it doesn't always seem like it. -Brookfall
