names and accounts
5 years ago
lately i have been thinking of starting a new account here...
why though? i have such a history here and on other sites, i have built my base around these accounts.
but ever since i started transitioning, i have found it hard to... associate with who i was? i feel so separate from that person, even though it's my history.
it's kinda disarming to see a name i no longer associate with myself on my old art.
i've been thinking of just, leaving this page as an archive of my work and starting fresh with another account?
i have too many pictures to just, go back and edit my name out of every single one...
i'm not gonna take down or deactivate this, just... setting it aside.
i would appreciate the thoughts of other trans folks on this, how did you deal with this?

if i am being very honest, what fanbase i have has been accepting, i generally like the ones who have stuck with me.
it's the old art that gets me, it feels like a differnt person now, like another person who owned the account before me? esp when i see my dead name on the older stuff xwx;
i think i am going to have to dwell on this and your flipped question a bit
Be who you wanna do. If people hate that, then they're just part of the faceless masses that don't matter. If people wanna start shit, then they're the ones at fault, not you, and just don't give them the time of the day they demand to ruin your own day.
