I think over time I've come to realise that it's okay for some people to like some sides of me and not others. I have different groups of people who like me for different reasons. There are people who just like my personality, but don't really care for the things I create even if they respect my abilities, there are people who like me as a Dungeons & Dragons person but don't care about my comics, there are people who literally only care about me as a Homestuck voice actor etc. etc.
People can love you but not care about your comics. Hell, people can love exactly one comic you make and have no desire to even look at all the others, like I have friends who have literally only read my short comics I made for print; they have zero interest in my webcomics. No single thing you make will ever please everyone. I love the Scott Pilgrim comics by Bryan Lee O'Malley, but I'm very much "meh" about Seconds by the same creator. I should let people feel the same about my work too.
What I've learned is: Make THIS comic for the audience that will like this comic. You don't need every comic you make to be loved by everyone. In my old comics, I was always so self-conscious about being "sentimental" or "cheesy" that my characters would constantly undermine any drama by making fun of it. My embarrassment over making something that would leave me emotionally vulnerable and would be considered silly by some people I know and show that I'm a silly weeb made my comics worse, because they could never just be sincere or have any real drama in them.
A lot of my family and old friends from school don't really care for Errant. Sure, they 100% support me making it, and they're cheering me on and hoping it does well; they celebrate with me when I get a staff pick or hit a milestone, but they don't read it, and that's fine! Errant would be a worse comic if I tried to make it more universally accessible. The humour style in Errant is very much aimed at younger millennials and gen Z'ers, younger than a lot of people my own age will be able to relate to (like being in my mid-late thirties, a lot of my friends haven't moved on from thinking Friends was the height of humour and they wouldn't get the jokes in like... I dunno, a Prozd video), the art is unapologetically weeby and the plot is quite melodramatic.
Focusing more on making the comic really appeal to the audience I'm making it for instead of trying to make a comic for everyone makes the comic better. Of course some of my old friends from back when I was a closeted church choirgirl aren't going to love this lurid comic I made where most of the characters are some flavour of LGBTQIA+, but they're not the core audience, so it doesn't really matter, most of them don't have and will probably never have a Tapas account anyway. The only things that matter are: 1. I am enjoying what I'm making, and when I read it back I think "hey, this is pretty entertaining!" and 2. There's an audience for it here on Tapas who find the style and content appealing.
