and now for the post you’ve all been waiting for! hello! i really suck at writing introductions, so i’ll just get straight to the point! i know i haven’t been active here in the slightest over the course of the past year (gotta love education), and as much as i’d like to be as logged onto scratch as i was in the past, i’m finding it harder and harder to be. i’ve spent a large chunk of my childhood on this site and i’ve greatly enjoyed the ride and all the friends i made along the way, but now that i’m an adult and don’t have the time and energy to log onto this site all the time i feel as if it’s time for me to move on, at least a little. part of me feels as if i’ve outgrown scratch — as much as i hate to say it, shifting from scratch to another platform felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. fewer limitations, no more filterbot, more special interest content, people my age — as i became more active on platforms outside of scratch, the less i wanted to be here. don’t think of this as a goodbye — i’m still keen on checking scratch every once in a while to post some of my art, give updates, hang out in studios i curate and chat. i do really want to participate in swc again, as i’ve missed it greatly and i need an excuse to get back into writing as much as i did. i’m taking a year off of studies to ease out of autistic burnout, so i’ll have more time on my hands to log in over the course of the next year, and i’ll do my best to remember to do so. it feels a little evil to post something like this without links to my other, more active cesspools, and i’m lenient on sharing the urls to my accounts on certain platforms (sigh) but you can find me on pin @ https://pin.it/odF78HRyd, lastfm @ blitzedbrits, and on youtube @ bonytanks :) peace out for now!
