Q: like your own work seems so blatant and manifest in what it's trying to do that no one could ever possibly look at it and say "wow, i wonder how/why they chose to do it that way" or "what does this weird/ambiguous detail mean, what was the creator thinking when they inserted that?" like even if you tried purposely to insert those weird/ambiguous things it wouldn't work or be interesting because you would just inserting them for the sake of trying to be weird/interesting? like I just want to know how to make genuinely interesting things that are interesting for their own sake and not just for the sake of trying to be interesting, but I worry that 
 I don't 
 have "what it takes". like maybe the fact that I'm so worried about whether or not what i make is genuinely interesting is actually an indicator that i'm not a person capable of making interesting things
A: i think it depends on how badly you want it, and if you think to yourself 'yes, that's how badly i want it' then the funny thing is i think you will find out that you already have it. the major hint i can give you for this is that it will be exactly what you want it to be, but the problem is because it's so new you may not have seen it before. so you may have to launch a bit of a search coalition. this may seem scary, but i promise it is fun. so fun that you probably won't worry about it not being interesting, instead you will be scared that you can't find enough places to distribute all of the interestingness so you don't drown in all the interestingness
