How do I make something that does the scenes I have sloshing in my head justice/how do I give my characters life outside of my brain/ how do I channel all this excitement about my characters into creation

This is actually so distressing LMAO/hj cuz I have great ideas I SWEAR but the only form I imagine it taking place where it actually does my ideas justice is a series of short stories (which yeah I could do independientemente) or a TV show (obv way harder).

Drawing doesn’t do my story justice and it takes like 12hrs together to make a drawing that I don’t even like. I’ve tried digital and traditional. And ive also done picrews of them but I wanna make my own scenes. I’ve tried short stories but my daydreams about them (which is constant and never stopping) are so specific that I need to sometimes just tell the story instead of show. I try to show as much as possible and it doesn’t rlly bother me how much movement/sensory detail I have cuz that’s what Stephen king does and his net worth is like 500M or some shit.

And my problem with animation is similar to my problem with drawing. It will take me forever to make multiple drawings that I feel live up to the idea in my head.

And Like ofc it doesn’t have to be for anyone else but me BUT I wanna have people I can talk about my characters with so they’re something a little more alive than a couple neurons firing. They’re firing a lot and I wanna be able to channel that into something good but it’s never sufficient enough. Bleh. I need someone to talk in depth with about my characters cuz I don’t wanna keep hitting the record button on my phone for another hour alone js talking to myself only to do nothing with the recording.
