uhhhh wow its been a while. been consumed by another fandom, but Better Off Worse has hit me so hard, i had to draw fan art.
a bit of a personal note on this one as i shared in my discord
"refreshing to do something different and more emotionally motivated.... i know ppl here arent really vocaloid listeners but that song goddamn. ~you must keep suffering for the sake of other people's consumption of your art~ easily relatable. plus i have been using v flower for YEARS (since i was 15!!) to vent through her voice in the form of original songs and covers so. it just Hit"
i think that is kind of what came to my mind about this song. relatable message (even down to specific mentions of mental health), and most definitely my attachment to flower. while i dont have time to do vocaloid nearly as much I started using her as a teen and loved her so so much for my ability to vent through music and covers. i only burnt myself by 2020-2021 on making covers and as my life changed and i started recovering from what i had been through. as an artist in general-- especially as i get meds and get
better-- it is so easy to feel like the only way i was making good art is if i was suffering or venting negative feelings and thoughts.
i am glad i have gotten better and i am trying to push away the feeling that i must suffering to make that kind of art, but it is really hard esp when the most attention i have gotten was from that time
