So, I've been kind of inactive on scratch recently, mostly due to American politics in recent months, and due to the fact I've spent much of the last year questioning my identity, until this summer. Overall I've felt very distressed and have had a hard time being active on scratch, the only creative things I've really been doing recently being the occasional drawing project, NaNoWriMo, or a roleplay with my friend. But after the American election (I'm not going to go into details, but if you know you know), I felt at first so distressed, but afterwards, I got a new rush of motivation I haven't felt in a long time. I want to start creating things again, and things that are meaningful to me. I want to create things for other people to enjoy. I now know that I don't identify the same way I did the last time I was actually active on scratch, since I now use he/they pronouns and feel like I want to use my creative talents differently than I did before, now less to tell a story and more to create good representation that I can identify with and makes me happy. So, in that case, I want to be more active on scratch. It's the most currently available place to me where I can share my creations, and a place with a large and accepting queer community. I'm planning to maybe make some pmvs or animatics relating to characters either from my NaNoWriMo novel or from my friend's roleplay, and to make more drawings with both and share them on this platform. Thank you for reading this, and to others stressed over politics, stay strong. Things aren't over yet, and we can all make it through this - Rogue
