It's just the whole idea of "Part 3" being the most well-known in the franchise that it can be hard for someone to really enjoy the series with the expectations of "masculinity" and "badassery" being set very high by a certain minority of the fanbase or maybe that's my anxiety overwhelming my mind when it comes down do enjoy another work of fiction or trying to make your own original work.

For example, there is this fanart idea I have about "Aurora Star, Coral" from the "Cardfight!! Vanguard" (or "CFV" for short) card game dressed up in Polnareff's attire since Vanguard and, recently, Jojo are two of the various things I really enjoy that makes me more motivated to stive becoming a sucessful illustrator (and animator). The main problem that I still struggle, even to this day, is my confidence and being able to maintain it. It's does feel harder than it already is with either or both doing some fanart to show some appreciation of what I enjoy and create some original works and pieces as well to develope my craft.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm trying too hard (an irritating habit of mine) to be able to take criticism into account were that I let the nitpicks, like the aformentioned "masculinity" and "badassery" spawning from this franchise, by people overwhelm me. I probably need to calm down about this while getting back up from that metaphorical fall.

After I do calm down, I really want to try again from that last savepoint were my confidence was really building and just enjoy myself with what I want to do.
