I adore many of you very, very much, but I am leaving.

I'll try to be the most active on Weasyl, second most active on Tumbler, and third DA.
Why?
Well...
I wrote a journal and...most of you read it, I think.
I also posted it on my main account ( which was disabled.) so you can't find the comment in question but...
I don't like being told that I have no right to be here-(if I don't ONLY talk about positive, furry-related subject matters.)
Even if it was only one person who said that...
I've also been browsing FA and reading all the responses to what's going on and...
I've been gathering information about everything and...
A part of me regretted splitting my accounts into a business and personal because my art IS personal, all of it.
So I just hid in my personal account and never logged into my main one.
Plus, I like doing a very small amount of commissions at a time...
I'm going to keep this account up (for now) to help me keep in contact with the commissioners I'm currently working with.
I truly adore many of you very much, there are soo many good and wonderful and kind and amazing people here.
I just always wish you the best in all things. May happiness find you when you need it most and your bad times help you get to where you need to be.
Love,
Erin: formally known as: BlueNire
FA+

I'll be seeing you around then hopefully!
I will be leaving this account up though...just as a watcher ^.^
Still, I understand your reasons, saw the comment in question, and am sad to see you go.
I might end up shifting to there too, since this site and others seem to be having a lot of issues lately gurgh
(I am incredibly curious about what was said, but I'm not one to pry!)
Good luck with everything, and if I ever end up on Weasyl, I'll be sure to watch you there, too.
<3
Ouch.
Take care, Tungsten...
Just because I've been using the site in my hiatus from FA and I like it a lot more.
But after hearing what's going on and who's doing what....I'm honestly pretty disgusted, on top of everything else. -_-
I'll be watching you over there. I know we don't know eachother well but you seem like a lovely, amazing person and I really admire your transparency and honesty as well as your lovely artwork. <3
Thank you, Darkmoon, I really do enjoy your artwork, I really do! (I'm a closet goth ha!) So I'm very happy to know that I'll be able to see it easily elsewhere! :D
I feel like I am always trying to do SOMETHING to help you see yourself, or your art, in a better light. You know that I am an activist, and I fight for a lot of the things you talked about in your last journal as your "go to war " topics.
I have no idea what's going on here on FA truthfully, RL stuff going on, Good RL stuff, and I haven't been paying attention, but what I DO see is that I would very much like to be your friend, and maybe...idk...give you a bigger glimpse of my world. The world of a fat person who happens to be in an area of work that shows off my body. Being a fat athlete, being an activist, being an artist, dealing with different people, communities, shapes, sizes, lifestyles and fitting in (so to speak) as well as making my audience see ME not just my fat.
You have my skype, and I hope I can talk to you soon. I still have my half of the trade for you, and I will be getting those pics done in short order.
I am sorry for whatever is going on that makes you feel like you need to leave, but as I said, I would like to be your friend, so I support your feelings.
Good luck and I'll see you more on Weasly.
Thank you for all your kindness, and wisdom. You've really been absolutely invaluable.
I plan on keeping this account here for watching purposes, so that I can see the artwork of artists who have chosen to stay. :)
I just won't be posting my own art here, really, that's all :)
I'll try my absolute best to be available to you, and to others! So no worries there, right?? :)
Thank you for everything, and keeping my chin above water!
and you have me on skype, so I am available any time. Dance is my life, and activism more something I was thrown into, but if I see someone that needs a helping hand, or is just giving them selves undue stress or the like I am always compelled to help, and always like making new friends. I am on Weasly too as well as other sites, so I will watch for your art there, and again always around for conversation :)
You'll maybe find something different over there, different communities, different people. Some of the same, but who knows?
I have no opinion on the actual case going on; there's unfortunately no evidence to see, but cencoring and banning people really isn't the way how to handle truths OR rumours. And then there's the general attitude of the staff people seen on twitter and whatnot on this matter...
Yeah it's...........all one nasty business and...really this was a long time coming.
I'm not just moving because of the current issue, so...
See ya! :D
Let's hope Weasyl blooms up with this. It has folders<3
No worries!! I'll be keeping this account up to try to keep in contact! I just won't be posting my artwork here, y'know??
My contact info is in my profile and I think you have my instant messaging thingy so!
We should be good! I can't lose my SuzanneR-kitty!! :D <3 <3
Yes we shall message each other. :D I can't loose my Nire horsie!
I really liked your character and Im sorry we didnt talk more- but I wish you the best of luck and happiness on the new site c:
I really do hope to commission you one day too!
Thank you for the wonderful compliment!
I'll be lurking about so I can still see your artwork! :D
Don't worry! I plan very much on keeping this account open to be able to watch people, and keep in contact with wonderful people like you!!
(I just won't be posting my art here, tiz all!)
Well, I plan on being a bit of a lurker here myself! I'm going to keep this account up for communication and to watch the artists here that have chosen not to move for one reason or another...(I'll just be posting my own artwork elsewhere, y'know?)
I really just hope you the best and I hope to be able to keep in contact with you! You've always been incredibly kind and sweet and on top of that invaluably supportive!
I can't thank you enough, Miss Atarashi!!
I look forward to seeing you there then!! :D
I'll be seeing you around then hopefully ! :D
I'm sorry you got a comment like that, you don't deserve any of that crap :/ *hugs if you need them* I'm glad I can still follow your wonderful art on Weasyl <3
I've...been getting...notes and shouts that.....are.....makes me think I made the right decision, y'know?
Just kinda...smarmy....ugh!
I'm so very thankful that I can continue to see your art on Weasyl TOO!! Seriously one of my faves!! :D
I really really enjoy YOUR artwork so it's just wonderful that I can see if on Weasyl too! (Instead of having to hop over here!) :D
See you/your art around then hopefully!
Will you be keeping your art up? I don't want to sound selfish, but I would be very sad if you deactivated everything.
I did have my old bluenire account disabled but a few people asked if I'd enable it again so that it won't mess up their favorites and things..
So the old artwork is all there but I'll be posting any new artworks on the other sites....
I've sometimes wondered if I've done the right thing but I've received too many mean comments to ever feel "safe" and happy here.
I do wish you the absolute best and you've just been awesome and I appreciate you :)
