When I do arts n crafts i'm not doing thankless labor to get a finished product. I LIKE the process, it is fun to me. I think they fundamentally misunderstand how art works. People arent born good at it and decide they're going to paint a masterpiece, usually they just fuck around with paint for decades and eventually stuff starts coming out really good. I have never really planned my end result and tend to be super spontaneous. This is because I have developed a lot of technical skills since I was a toddler and can incorporate on impulse, most of the time it turns out better than I'd hoped for and the rest of the times ive learned what doesnt work, which is even more important. I didnt do all of this cause im disciplined, it's just something I enjoy so i kept doing it. There are aspects of agonizing over things, but it's enjoyable agonizing. There is plenty of art I enjoy where they were clearly just trying to have fun and whatever came of it was it. But you have to be decent enough in the first place at something to make something half assed seem fun to others, I think something like Aqua Teen would fall into that category.
