When i say art is less about the quality of the thing itself and more about the impact on its audience (a very cliche statement yes i know), i mean like an iconic tv show is less about the quality of the actual show and more about how feral it makes the fanbase
#Usually art needs quality to illicit such a response#But its not required#Take ninjago#Ninjago sucks. But its a force of nature kept alive by the sheer will of its secret underground fandom. And that makes it something special#Other shows- like steven universe and gravity falls and the fucking owl house- are incredibly well done high quality works of art#But like im sure people could take other shows that they think are better quality and be right about it#But because of what these shows meant to the fans#and how that meaning allowed the shows to leave permanent marks on their hearts and on pop culture and animation history as a whole#Thats what makes these shows so special on such a broad scale#to get to that level they needed to be good shows so they would be able to connect to fans in that way#But again- the quality is not the actual thing that makes them the legends they are. Theyre only legends because we call them that#Because we love the shows so much#Idk man i just think its kinda beautiful#How art can be something so legendary to an entire community of people purely because of how it makes them feel#Ive never seen homestuck but ive heard the plot is hella confusing and convoluted#yet you see the impact it has had on all of tumblr like do you see how insane this is!#The power of art to shape the very course of history all because it flipped a switch in people’s heart and made them feral#I love the world. I love the internet.
