about the second response, i think you maybe just saw me use the word "legacy", then took it and ran with it, sorry. i definitely didn't mean the word "legacy" in the conventional way, of something passed-down. the two times i used the word, i buffered it by saying:
>art is something i feel i can make for the sake of leaving a legacy, as in it's something i could truly do for the sake of itself
>my own legacy left primarily for myself
as if to mean in a vacuum, having made it is its own reward, independent of what follows. i guess i also silently had expectations of it being preserved at least for my lifetime, in that i would feel cheated if were i an artist, something i drew would be destroyed, and lost. but that is only because i wished to be able to look at it myself. i guess maybe a misunderstanding was my saying i wanted my writing to be "appreciated". what i really meant was for me to receive feedback people liked it, sorry. so "praise" would've removed any ambiguity. people simply reading my captions isn't very validating to me; i want to know that they liked it. i don't care about how my captions will be met after i die, even if they liked them, and i definitely wouldn't care if people simply read them, with no feedback at all that they even liked them
