Thank you to everyone for your support <3

I am, for the first time in a while, opening 8 slots! I hope nobody minds if I diversify a bit and focus on non-fruit inflation stuff for this run of slots? If any of my other stuff interests you, I'd be immensely grateful for your patronage. If not, no worries at all <3

Thanks <3

Apologies for the suddenness, I've deleted the server because I don't have the time or energy to talk in there, let alone moderate it. I suspected this might happen when I made the server but I still wanted to try because I've felt so disconnected from the community for so long now. I'm really sorry it didn't work out

Thank you to everybody who filled out a form, I've just come back to almost 50 responses :O

Sadly this means the vast majority won't get a slot, but I've expanded the number of slots I'll be taking on to 8 from 4. Sorry it isn't more than that but it is the best I can do sadly :(

Thank you again everybody for filling out a form <3

No huge rush since they'll be open for a day so please don't panic or rush <3 I'll be taking on four slots!

Uploading the stuff from Twitter

First off: thank you tons for the kind words in my notes and shouts, it's been hard to read admittedly because I am terrible at taking kind words, especially so much of it. But just thank you for that, it's definitely made this past few days easier. Twitter is addictive and it's been a struggle to not open it or undo my account deactivation, but I've known for a good year and a half that this is what I want to do, your kind words and understanding have helped me so far in following this through and words cannot express my gratitude for this support. I genuinely could never have imagined receiving support from so many people at any point in my life.

I wanna clarify something really important though. It's come to my attention that the person who made the comment on Twitter has been the recipient of a big hate brigade. Please just stop and leave them alone. Yeah they said something upsetting, but I've seen people stooping just as low, if not lower in extreme cases. That's not okay. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough but this person isn't the sole reason I've stepped away, more the straw that broke the camel's back.

Please stop putting artists like myself on such a big pedestal, it's unhealthy and I have reason to believe this has been a big contributor this big hate mob. For ages I've seen this worship of artists and it's creepy and uncomfortable, and now it's sent some people rabid on Twitter. How is that okay? I appreciate people got upset because I was so upset, but this was not the answer. I hope that anyone reading this does so with an open mind and thinks more about what this community could be going forward. We need to breathe, relax and remember we're all just people.

I want to apologise to puppyzolt, I didn't see this barrage of harassment coming. I was just upset and hoping for a clean exit from the community and that was all I could think about. I also saw your apology too and I can see it was sincere. Perhaps if some people wipe the mouth-foam from their faces, they'll see you just made a mistake and are genuinely sorry as well. I've come to learn over the years that there are a lot of people out there in this community who struggle to socialise and upon reflection I think this was one of those cases, I don't believe you knew that what you were saying was something so upsetting until the damage had been done. I do believe you feel remorseful for it and that's good.

Since this all came from talking about Creature's legacy, I want you all to think about that. Because now I've failed at multiple attempts to pay tribute to him, and now this last failed attempt of mine has completely exploded into a fireball of hatred and drama. That's not how a tribute to a kind, gentle friend should have ever concluded. I will never stop feeling responsible for it either. Please do us all a favour and pay homage to Creature by endeavouring to be more understanding towards everyone, not just the people you choose to understand.

Thank you again everyone. Please look after yourselves and make good choices <3

I used to enjoy sharing creations with the community, but this past year my passion has been really tested.

I now find myself living a double life. I am at the start of what could be a fantastic career. None of my coworkers can know what I have done here, and I don't tell people here what I do. I'm making up lies and ducking and dodging my roommate to find time alone to draw at the end of very long, very labour-intensive days. I can't keep it up.

Now, according to some guy on twitter, being too exhausted to complete Juicy July is "spitting on Creature's legacy". That's the last straw and the final nail in this coffin. That really fucking hurt.

I could go on for paragraphs about all the experiences I've had in this community that have chipped away at my happiness and motivation, but it won't change a thing.

To cut the chase I'm not posting art anymore. I'll still go on discord when I can to talk to my small circle of friends but that's it. I may still draw art from time to time, but I'm not going to post it. I'm finished with the community side of this.

Thank you to everyone who supported me, I wouldn't have lasted a fraction of the time if it weren't for you.

Wishing you all the best
