Regarding my FA inactivity
5 years ago
Hello FA people, it's been a minute. I'm sure lots of people (no one) are wondering where I have been, and the short answer is that I have basically moved to Inkbunny. I'm still reasonably active artwise, and I still upload, albeit other places.
The long answer is that FA is a super archaic and outdated site, and the ownership and dev team clearly have no intention of giving it the modern coat of polish it needs (its 2020 and there still isn't a @#%#ing name change feature ffs!).
Also, as I'm sure most of my diligent watchers have probably noticed (and hate me for it), my art direction has shifted away from pokemon, and more towards traditional anthro art. I also draw cub related content sometimes, and it's not so much out of an act of protest so much as "its easier to post on a site where I can post all of my content" type thing, which is why I chose Inkbunny. Inkbun also has a really nice and supportive community for the most part, much like the way FA used to be when I first joined, and it's super inspiring and motivating for someone like me, who struggles with to be inspired or motivated ;0
On the note of cub stuff, I'v also gotten warned by our gracious FA overlords before for posting links to my Inkbunny in the past. Apparently I'm not popular enough to be one of the cool kids who can post blatant cub art on FA and not get told shit (seriously FA, get your shit together you hypocrites), so if you wish to follow me there, send me a private message ♥
Also its weird, I feel like switching away from pokemon art gives me little reason to upload here, since I'm assuming most everyone initially watched me for that reason to begin with uwu
I'll probably get around to posting a good chunk of my work/gifts/commissions on here in the future, but I don't see myself being super active on FA again. I know a lot of people main Twitter these days, but Twitter doesn't have a gallery type feature, and you have to sift through everyones political garbage and pictures of their breakfast to find their art, so I'm not really interested in moving there. It's like everyones Twitter page is the front page of FA; you see one good picture, a bunch of awful shit, and a picture of a train for some reason.
Regardless, I'll be around, and anyone who cares enough to do so will manage to find my art! Take care for now, nerds.

I dunno, it's true FA doesn't inspire social-ness and looks archaic, but even that is kinda nice in some ways.
IB is nice, but who knows, you might still post a 'mon or two and then you'll be sad you forgot your FA login after not being here for so long, so don't leave us 4ever :p
Also I agree with the twitter sentiment, I don't understand how tumblr was popular before either when it was the same kinda nonsense.... Art should be on an art site, fite me :V
