You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.
People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.
My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
*whisper* That’s not stardust twinkling in Sai’s hair, no sir, those are grey hairs.
Well wait wait wait, we can’t talk anout gray hair as an indication of age because I just turned 22 and have gray hairs, and find a white hair at least once a month.
Guys, hey, that’s not okay what you’re doing here, you can’t just talk about Sai like this. You gotta talk louder now, or Granny Sai won’t hear you anymore. RIGHT, SAI?!
THE REASON I CAN’T HEAR Y’ALL FUCKERS IS BECAUSE I CAN’T YEAR Y’ALL OVER MY BATTLECRIES
As many of you may have noticed, Supper Mario Broth does not operate on a consistent schedule, often suffering from hiatuses lasting weeks or months.
Readers of Supper Mario Broth who have conversed with me privately have known for a long time that the reason for this is my financial struggles. I often cannot afford the Internet access, or even electricity costs, necessary to run the blog. Before now, I have always preferred to not talk about it publicly, as I did not wish to burden my readers.
But now, with no apparent end to my situation in sight, I had a choice: either to continue posting irregularly whenever I had the chance, or to turn to my readers with a request for support in exchange for rewards, in the hope of creating a mutually beneficial relationship. I decided to attempt the latter.
Should you choose to click the link above, a video on the Patreon page will explain exactly what I do, why you should consider supporting my blog, and what you will get in return.
I realize that to ask anyone to contribute to something as frivolous as a blog for obscure Mario content is, in many ways, preposterous. You may think that I do not produce enough output to warrant a subscription. But please consider the following:
During a period of time where I was able to access the blog without issues in 2013, I contributed an average of 20 new discoveries every day. If you choose to become a subscriber, not only will you receive exclusive content, but I will be able to once again restore my output to those levels.
In the 6 years since the blog’s creation, I have posted over 7,000 findings: many sourced from other creators, many discovered and recorded myself. If I had uninterrupted Internet access, I could double that number in a year.
Of course, no matter the outcome of the campaign, I will continue to post whenever I can afford to. The Mario franchise is my life. It is all I have.
The “friend zone” and unrequited love are not the same thing. Unrequited love is, “I love you, you don’t love me in that same way, I am sad about that.” The “friend zone” is, “I love you, you don’t love me in that same way, you have therefore wronged me.”
Unrequited love is, “My unilateral crush is my problem.” The “friend zone” is, “My unilateral crush is your problem.”
