“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”
So life has been tricky for everyone this year, I've tried really hard to stay as positive as I can, It's not always appropriate when cities are burnin, people are dying, democracy is in shambles and 2020 just seems to constantly be kicking everyone in the nuts repeatedly (hey I'm a squirrel, I'm all about nuts)
Throughout all of this I've buried my despair, I've tried to push it down, If I get overwhelmed by it, then I won't beable to draw and if I cant draw then there goes my only source of income, so I've got to keep doing that or things go south fairly quickly, I also want to draw so I can keep putting a tiny bit of positivity into this mess of a world.
One of the things keeping me going is that at some point in the future I'll beable to see people again, I'll beable to play, I'll be able to have little time. Little time has been really REALLY scarce this year. Like I've been little twice. But Gotta keep positive, look to the future and focus on something good.
So I keep in my mind that theres an amazing event not far from where I live A preschool afternoon for adults, kinda regression therapy kinda thing, you go there do some arts and crafts, play with playdoh, build a block tower, take a nap, have snack time and get a story...then you go home, little side topped up and you can take on the world again. I live for those sessions, they happen normally once every six weeks or so, but obviously with covid theyve been cancelled since feb, but there's always the looking to the future to know they will happen again.
So it turns out one of the littles that goes to these sessions for whatever reason, maybe they fell out with the organiser maybe they fell out with someone else who goes there, basically recently collected a bunch of photos from the event and sent them to the head office of the venue anonymously pretty much in a blackmaily sort of "hey look at this depravity" sort of way. Now nothing depraved happens at these things, sure we're all adults dressed as kids but other than that its actually just a normal playgroup/creche kinda scenario, noones naked nothing sexual is going on in fact we're actively enoucouraged to just be kids. The venue head office actually were like "okay thats a little odd but its not like dodgy" But because the venue was worried the mean person would tell media outlets and generally kick up a fuss, theyve had to cancel any further bookings. they were genuinely sorry about it because they saw that what we were doing was harmless and now thats a bunch of revnue the venue desperately needed but couldnt risk the media fallout.
This news kinda pushed me over a weird edge. With all the horrible stuff going on I cant comprehend how someone from the ageplay community would do this...to their own community. how vindictive and hateful do you have to be to damage other littles in such a spiteful way? When we're all trying to find positives in the world at the moment, trying to find slivers of hope to cling to to keep us from sinking...It just broke my heart a bit.
A new venue has been found and more events will probably happen in the future, but I think it's just...I dunno I just cant get my head around why someone would do that, that's messing me up. I always associate being a little with having this heart full of hope and joy, being able to see the world through a more positive bright lens. For me, when I envoke Gem Thats how I feel, like magic is real anything is possible because she doesnt know any better, so something so cold and calculating and just plain nasty coming from a little just really hurts I guess.
Anyway sorry for the rant There will be new events, it wont keep folk down for long but yeah...I'll miss that place. It was perfect!

also it sounds a lot like shine to me, hopfully real life will pop up like in shine and the local comunity will rise up and beat up the jerk to a pulp
P.S. I sent you more information on telegram
Also if solving it without physical violence is possible I would prefer it, making sure they won't do it again and won't be able to is much more important in my eyes.
You are an inspiration to many including myself.
You are special.
Somebody really needs a timeout. ò.ó
I hope you can still enjoy the new events, after the whole Covid-clusterfuck is over.
And I can understand you. I haven't had littletime since.. IDK..february as well I think and I really miss that feeling.
(meaning just my best friend and me, as there no such events I know of anywhere near me).
With all of the horrible things this year, I hope you can find ways to process and express yourself instead of having to bury all the bad stuff. You've made it this far with amazing strength.
Drawing the comics and art helps in some way. Like I can sorta live vicariously through Gem and Star and that helps keep my little side topped up to a certain extent (which is probably how come i havent degenerated into an utter shitshow yet) but nothing actually compared to real live quality little time. I'm sure your girl really super appreciates it!
I'm sorry about your event, wish there was a way to make it right but I'm just a dumb puppy so I'll just leave it at that.
We'll have things the pandemic is giving us a hard time, this sucks for the entire little community and it's true a little is someone full of joy and hope. Nevertheless we should concentrate in the positive side I live in Argentina and democracy in here is crumbling around me I can see where this is going and just to say that I need to escape if I want freedom at all. It appears that I will end up either in Canada or England, new Zealand less probable but USA too because of family we have there. I was never able to be little or hang out with other littles, the short time I'm little is when I go to sleep and need to shut my thinking if I want to get sleep at all. In Argentina you don't find this events but moving to this countries I can see I'm might be able to go (in a couple of years) at last is something huge for me knowing personally other littles and be able to be one and finally being that tiny full of love being that I once was. Your comic helped this community a lot because of two things you don't deny that is some sexual nature surrounding this but you explain it and help to grow, one does not educate by denying but by showing and explaining. You are a super hero with no cape. I don't really know and one of my dreams is to actually buy your comics in paper and have it sign by you and spend a little afternoon. I can only say this because you taught me this and now I need to remind it to you.
Bye Bye have a good one, be little and peace out
Sad someone has to spoil it, but for every person causing problems there's a whole group trying their best to make things good again. And I think that's something we can draw hope from.
*paws crossed*
Er, sorry. You mean to tell me that what happened in Shine is actually happening in real life? Yikes. Does that happen often? How trustworthy are these events?
Which meanies do i gotta bap
Looks like life reflecting art this time around, but I'm glad they managed to get back up and running 'cos I'd like to go back some day and play with my ickle sis. <3
*huggles lots*
Good to hear a new venue has been found but here's some free hugs on the house cos I understand how these things hurt.
(((((Hugs))))
It's a sad state of affairs, but unfortunately, all too human a reaction.
Hopefully, everything will work out for the group as a whole. :\
that would really upset me too if that happened to my community, im sorry that someone tried to ruin yalls run
Hopefully when ur able to have a get ta gether again you can forget all about it
Anything I say would be mere speculation, but sadly there will always be people like that in the world. We just have to do our best to make do.
What some people need to understand is that there is no reason to deprive others of what they enjoy, even if you can't in your own rite.
I read and hear about people being mean like this and all I can think about is Alfred saying "Some people just want to watch the world burn." or have the person is selfish and has the mindset of "If I can't have it no one can."
Its pathetic and disappointing.
1 molested people and told them if they told that they would turn it around on them and make it seem like the victim wanted it...
1 created something that actively attacked others for seemingly no other reason other than to just be mean, they had it running for a while and attacked nice people for the sake of trying to out them as awful people on the inside. I think they shut it down when they wormed their way into certain circles and it would be easier for others to find out it was them...
The last 1 actually did nothing but talk badly about everyone that ever helped them out and made it seem like everyone was fake...
All three of these people are still active and very much loved here and it makes me so angry that no one knows what mean and hurtful and hateful things they have done to others...
Happy days will coming again, lets just get through this wreck of a year.
