Still around, hopefully returning to more activity soon~

Rawr! Hello, welcome, come and sit! Thanks for stopping by for a bit. ^.=.^
Past year has been a trip, tons of distractions, demotivating situations, and sorta just realizing i needed a break from quite a lot of stuff. But, all that aside, hope to be posting more regularly again soon, what with the major amount of backlog. Though paced out. But aye, eat yall later n such~. Just updating that I an pike are still kicking~ ;3
Though i swear recalling some lovely things with a serpent or two n some canines~. ;3
I do still have the entire archive of my gallery on FurArchiver linked on my page, so it's possible to actually download everything I've ever drawn as a .zip. I did nuke my galleries on IB(and deleted my entire account that was as old as 2012, RIP) and Weasyl though. Just kinda tired of the ridiculous amount of harassment from local furs. I don't think running away is a good solution for me because the amount of fans I have greatly outnumbers the people who believe the batshit insane gossip about me.... At any rate, it does affect me; as much as I shouldn't show it, because the people doing this only want to hurt me. If they actually believed those rumours, they wouldn't be snarking about it and shoving it in my face as a weapon; they'd be doing due diligence with the authorities. I didn't do anything wrong, so I have nothing to worry about. Still hurts my feelings though, especially that people believe all that shit. I didn't do anything to them but yet here they are tryna get me to kill myself because I draw furry porn. Lame.
I don't super love comparing shitty situations though; I'm sure whatever you had going on was also fucking wack so I'm sending my love and support your way homie! People can really suck sometimes...
You certainly shouldn't give weight to their allegations, or even respond/interact/read the baseless things they spew your way, but even knowingthat, it's not exactly simple to practice it without it building up eventually, and talking about such things to those you can trust to hear you out without bias does help clean off the emotional stress that can accrue. Some people might just be looking for a fight, among a myriad of reasons to pick on someone. besides the hypocrisy that they are on a sight looking for such content to target. Not to mention how many are going against their own moral codes or beliefs without realizing it just because of impulsive reactions or feelings against something they find disagreeable. But, everyone can't be perfect, nor is it reasonable to expect everyone to inspect themselves for fault before acting, despite how many centuries of parables warn against just that through history.
So surround yourself with those who support you, try to listen to honest criticism, and when possible, ignore or simply refuse to fulfill the desire of confrontation people are directing at you. And hang in there through the rough patches. It's ok to distance yourself for your mental well being though. Heck, i sometimes wonder what rumors might exist about me, but it's not worth dwelling on the speculation. I'm more than capable of putting myself in a super low mood over rather silly things in hindsight too, or due to side effects of health n such. That, and anyone i feel of as a friend has far more weight in what they think of me than random bloke number 7 ect. which is it's own issue, but i digress.
Feel free to message or poke if you ever do feel like your struggling though! I'm most active on discord, but go by the same name like everywhere. And I'm more than happy to hear ya out any time things might be becoming too much and you are stuck alone with your thoughts, and might be questioning your own self value or the like. I'm a dragon, i see value in all folks, and friends are my hoard~ ;p though I'm not simply just gonna tell you lies of nice things for your benefit, being genuine usually comforts folks way more after all. And it's pretty against my nature to not offer aid of some kind, in case a person might only ever have one such offer presented, and it be what makes some bit of a difference in their life. ^.=.^
There's really something to be said for practicing focusing on the positive. I spent way too much time letting folks get a rise out of me, so it'll be best for my self esteem and growth to focus on things that bring me joy. I'll also have to tell folks that relay gossip to just leave me out of it tbh. I don't so much seek out the drama anymore like I used to, folks just respect me enough when they hear something so outrageous to at least give me a heads up so it doesn't blindside me? But it would still be better if I never heard it in the first place, I think. Especially for the sake of my mental health, and I know folks would respect that if I asked them to coz my circle is small nowadays and only good folks. I'm way more picky who I hang out with nowadays.
I'll give you a shout some time, wouldn't hurt to boop ya on discord next time I'm on. :)
My username there is TheraPup, see you on the flip side, fellow dragon(I'm a secret bronze ;).
Glad to hear you’re alright and around. Love seeing your presence. ❤️
I immediately remembered you and the gold heart you have! <3
