I'm not leaving. This is not intended to be clickbait. That's probably one of your first thoughts when you click on a project like this - "aRe ThEy LeAvInG?" I'm not. What's happening is simply a sharp decline in activity here. I really, really want to work on stuff and also focus on my education ☠ that's it I think. Maybe I should explain why and what exactly? 1. THIS PLACE IS NOT HEALTHY. As stated directly above, this place is not very healthy. I mean, it's meant for kids, but I don't think it's good for them. 8 year olds a while ago were a bit more sensible than the ones here now. The younger children here are brainrotted kids who just spam, advertise, and comment d3ath threats to furries. This has NOT gotten better, it's gotten worse. Mostly because the ST is small and underpaid, if they're paid at all lol. Also the moderation SUCKS because of this; they're forced to use bots that really don't work. Also I don’t get much attention here, and even though this is true, I still find myself mindlessly checking lots #2: I have a life guys, are you surprised? /j Yeah basically what it sounds like. I want to not be as attached to this site as I am right now. I want to get somewhere with my education and lose this addiction so I can have a better life later. This also serves as an experiment of my self-control. DO NOT try to bring me back. I don't want to come back before I'm ready to, if that makes sense. Being uninterrupted on my art without having compulsions to check messages would be a huge relief for me. I'm doing a musical rn for school, so I want to focus on that as well as homework, as that will help me more than a screen will. #3. Why now? I have felt this way for a long time and never acted on it, so I only feel it's right to take a break now, when the weather is warming and I start to feel mentally worse. If you didn't know (It's quite probable you didn't) I thrive off of the cold and gray of autumn and winter. Statistically, I begin to feel my worst in late spring. The heat of summer and the bright colors and everyone being outside is extremely overstimulating. I can't enjoy being in nature without hearing the screams of children. And I've also noticed that Scratch does NOT help with this, it only provides a mild distraction, which isn't a cure. I think it's only right to rest and work now. That's what makes me feel better, not mindlessly reloading the page to see random stuff I don't need to know about. That sums up my reasons for this leaving ish thing I'm doing. Now you all probably deserve a little more of an explanation of what I'm actually doing, so I'll tell you what to expect from me over the next few months or whatever. - Mostly I’ll be signed out. I don’t want to be tempted to check. - DTAES will continue. I'll keep posting stuff I've been working on, but not because I want to please you guys, because I still have an account - I'm not checking my messages throughout this entire thing. I'm also turning off my PF comments and leaving a studio where you can contact me if you absolutely need to. I'll check *that* once or twice every week - ATs and DTs are still open, but use the studio - My friends (hopefully, I'm asking them about this) will notify me if anything absolutely requires me to return and sign back in - Don't be alarmed but I'm making my profile aesthetic in the meantime - If i need to I'll specify more Feel free to ask questions in the comments! I'm not leaving until about March 15th, which is in four days. Most of this time will be spent preparing for my departure, organizing stuff, etc. Hope you had fun reading my long paragraphs. Enjoy this stupid shaking ish animation for now. - Starii Studio:
no one used the studio its time to k my s
