I've just gone through and cleared the gallery. Benzen was an inherently boyish character, though not under aged he was meant to generally be seen as fairly young and many picture of him now fall under the style the rules now forbid. I don't want an account to get in trouble, even an old, effectively abandoned one, and I don't want to have to worry about what future arbitrary line in the sand older pictures might cross either, so I'm taking the final steps in just closing this account down entirely. There is still a Benzen account over on inkbunny, and my previous journal links to my new accounts on here.

Thank you all for your interest in me and my character, even on days I was feeling just entirely down and crappy it always brought me a little smile to see somebody new had started watching out for new pictures of my bee. Living as Benzen was a fun ride and where I did pretty much all of my development not only as a furry but as a real person living through his 20's and dealing with life in general. For those of you who watch my new account, I'm glad to still have you're interest. For the rest, thank you dearly, even if all you did was give me a new 'C' to smile at at the top of the window.

Ok, so this actually happened a while back and I'm only now getting around to this announcement. I'm sorry for being quiet for so long but I wanted to make sure it would take and wasn't just some temporary urge.

After a long, *long* time of playing Benzen, I've made the decision to retire him as a character. It's been a lot of fun but I've changed a lot since first creating him and in that time Benzen himself has evolved as a character. He's supposed to be my fursona, but after so long, he just nolonger felt like me. It's gone from Ben just being me as a cute bee to Ben being a character with his own personality that I had to roleplay.

There will be no more new art of him for the foreseeable future. Maybe some day, if there's enough interest.

My new self and life on FA in general can be found over at  spiderbaron!

I also do adoptables now on  weaveradopts!

To the rest of you, thank you for the interest, and I'll be leaving this profile up for now.

Hello all! Just doing a little reaching out, seeing if I can find any fellow deviants around Joplin, Missouri to maybe meet up or hang out with. I get lonely through a lot of the week, and very bored. So I'm looking for someone I can do things like go walking with, or play card/board games. Maybe some video games, though my taste in multiplayer video is pretty narrow. In general, looking for someone to hang out at vintage stock with, or maybe go to the movies with every so often. Somebody to get me off of my computer and out of the house more. So if anybody lives in town and think you might be interested in meeting, gimme a poke!
