Guest post by "Being Useful" Also, I'd like to note, your interpretation is odd.
You're not wasting your time.
Firstly, it's generally noted that you should make things for you, and if other people like it, so be it. That's the best way to be happy with your creations. As long as you enjoy making it, you're doing good.
Secondly, there's no desire for bad things to happen. This is a comic with a coherent plot, though. When you have a plot, people always wonder what will happen next.
If that really bothers you, you could always do something like garfield, where nothing ever changes, it's just a string of disjointed jokes based on the same singular premise. Nobody ever wonders "What will happen next?" in garfield. He'll eat lasagna, make fun of Jon, and boot Odie. He's been doing that every day for almost 40 years now, and will continue doing it so long as Jim Davis lives. You can stop reading garfield, and pick it up days, months, years, even decades later, without ever reading the ones in between, and still understand the latest comic. Every garfield comic is "in the moment", but that's because that's all that exists--that moment. All others before and after are meaningless to the one you're looking at.
You should actually be happy about those with predictions of any kind, including woe. It means we care enough about the characters to care what happens to them, and it means that you've told a good enough story that we'll be back next episode. If it's tragic, we'll be sad. If it's joyous, we'll be happy. However, we will be back.
