Description
Oh good. I'm using fictional characters to vent. That's ALWAYS a good idea, isn't it? and TOTALLY not a way to make them OOC of anything.Ok so this isn't a "boo hoo hoo. No-one luvs me." picture.
As I always do, I tend to post a lot of journals talking about stuff I like, and I'll draw fanart for stuff I like and on Facebook I'll share and talk about inane stuff I'm into or find funny. But more often than not very few people have anything to say about these things. Now that's not really a big deal. Whatever. But for some reason I've had this little voice in the back of my head for a couple of months now where, if I do ANYTHING that isn't like, mlp art which usually goes over well, it pipes up and goes "No-one cares!"
I'll write a journal talking enthusiastically about something and it'll pipe up going "no-one cares about this stupid crap!" or I'll get an idea for something to write about or to draw and it'll pipe up with "Who are you kidding? No-one gives a shit!"
And then, if I do put up something I'm passionate about or I'm talking about something in my personal life and it just goes by without notice, the most common line that goes through my head is "I guess no-one cares."
That little voice is really becoming a problem @___@ and don't take this as my way of saying "PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK AT ME BECAUSE I'M SO DAMN IMPORTANT!". This is me battling with an inner voice that's found a way to really beat me down and make me feel bad. My long time watchers will know I've been having a long battle with my inner voices trying to find different ways to make me unhappy, or doubt myself or just make me feel shitty.
"No-one shares your enthusiasm." "No-one has the same interests as you do." "No-one is interested in what you love to do." "No-one thinks the same way you do." "No-one gives a crap if you're unhappy about this." "You're being narcissistic in thinking it's something worth being unhappy about."
So I drew Discord.
Because at least he's a character with interests and likes no-one in the show cares about either.
Oh hey look! a background! Hory shet!
Sorry for being whiny guys XP I hate complaining about my feels. Sometimes I just need to address them or I'll go nuts.

Ooh, the inner voice thing, the enemy within. I have the exact same problem, although it may run even deeper, trying to dissuade me from any and all actions I need sometimes. I've learned to respond with "Well f*ck you then" when necessary, but not always. And yes, I know the bit about addressing the feelings all too well. Talking things out with friends is how I alienated the last, er, twenty or so people I tried to befriend.
As for Discord, he's built all of his existence around it. He never cared for anyone's interests either; him learning to actually care was the big turning point for him. And he's assertive and powerful, and uses his powers to assert his will whether others care or not. Miraculously for him, some do come to care, if only because of the powers.
's a great pose you've given him up there. Really remarkable. It's the highlight of the picture. Plus, sweet detail on the clouds, just enough to make them look detailed but not too much so that they stand out more than the character. Well done!
