Starting Fresh...

HEY
I'm uh
Not

dead
......

ALRIGHT so clearly we need to talk. 


First of all I want to sincerely apologize for my unexplained absence. I... have no excuse really, but, to put it short I'm just going to say I've been stressed and overwhelmed, and I let things pile up here to the point where I felt guilty even posting artwork because I was worried about offending the people I might have been interpreted as ignoring. This was not at all the case... allow me to... do the best I can to explain.

Basically, I'm easily overwhelmed and wasn't prepared to handle all the attention my work has suddenly been getting. Some of you may have noticed I've been much more active on YouTube... this was essentially a trade off, but I don't want it to be. Yes, I do like YouTube very much and I'm devoting a lot of my time to making my animations for it, but gosh hot diggity dang I miss you guys... I just... had a hard time being on here as the messages and notes and notifications were piling up, in addition to keeping up with my budding YT channel, in addition to being a college student, in addition to dealing with treating some recently(ish) recognized mental problems... it's just been too much.

But I do want to change this. I have a lot of friends on here, and overall the support you guys are constantly giving me is beyond amazing and encouraging. I LOVE putting art here for you guys to see, and I don't want to just drop all that. I will, however, need to make some minor changes in order for things to be.. easier on myself.

So, I'm giving myself a fresh start on here

Again
...
This is the second time I've had to do this I'm so sorry I'm so pathetic OTL

Alright so here's how things are gonna go.

1.) I'm going to be clearing out my messages. There are 1,260 of them right now, and 32 notes. I will properly go through mentions and notes over the coming days, but most responses and most (not all but most) comments will be cleared out. THEY WILL BE READ, but if I ever want to get this done, I will not be responding. If there is something you just HAVE to communicate to me, please, do it through notes.

2.) I won't be attempting to respond to every comment... this is something I really loved doing before, but it's become a source of stress rather than fun for me now, and that's... not good. This doesn't mean I won't respond to comments at all though, I will occasionally, especially if the comment is helpful critique or a point to be discussed, but in most cases, I will read the comments, appreciate them, mentally thank you for leaving it... then delete it.
I'm very very sorry I feel awful doing this but I have to if I ever want to be on here again.

3.) I will be keeping up with my notes. Once the current ones have been sorted through, I want to make sure my notes are a good place to contact me. As it was I just, up and left everything, but I don't think that's fair. So, if you need to contact me and want to make sure I respond to you, send me a note, and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.

There

Alright

That being said... thank you guys so so much for sticking with me ;u; I love you all so much and so many of you I think about and am thankful for daily. I know everyone says it but I truly, truly mean it, I would not be where I am today without you guys. I'm sorry I've been so inconsiderate and just, pretty much dropped off this site without warning... but, I want to change that.

Expect art spam in the coming days ^^ I have a HUGE backlog of things I've been wanting to post to get through. Oh, and I'll be posting things to my scraps as well so make sure you're watching me there if you want to see fun doodly things
