NEW ACCOUNT: @fruitydoody After 3 years of inactivity on this account, I decided to post an actual final statement, this project! WHY ARE YOU COMING BACK? I missed this website. It's hard for me to adjust to new animating programs, and I'm just so used to Scratch and all it's possibilities. I also missed the positive art community here. On other platforms beginner artists are mocked or shamed, while on here, they aren't. I don't consider myself a beginner artist anymore, but there's still things I need to learn and I'd rather learn them in a place where I won't be made fun of for being new at something. BUT....WHY COME BACK ON A NEW ACCOUNT? I want to leave this account behind. I made a lot of mistakes managing the audience I had and was generally irresponsible with my personal information. I shared WAY too much stuff that nobody else except people irl needed to know about. I wanted a fresh start, so I made an account just to test. I was active on there for a month or so and things are going good, so I'm going to continue using my @fruitydoody account. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY BYE? I didn't really know I was leaving until I just...stopped posting. I lost motivation to draw or animate, and I was going through an incredibly rough time. My passion for art and storytelling just wasn't there anymore. I had major art block for like, a year. But when I entered high school in 2024, my creative side came back THANK GOD. Now I'm super excited to keep drawing and animating and writing, while slowly revealing the OC lore I've been cooking up for almost a year. WILL YOU EVER USE THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN? Probably not. I still check it occasionally and probably still will, but @Darkpelt-ThunderClan isn't my main focus anymore. WHY WERE YOU SO IMMATURE LOL I was like 10-12 and dealing with a lot of personal and familial issues. It was a lot for me and I didn't act rationally towards some people. I do want to apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings, how I wouldn't finish map parts, such a sudden disappearance, etc. I was rude and I'm sorry. I was also easily angered and acted mean sometimes. HOWS LIFE RIGHT NOW? Good :) I'm finally at a point where I feel comfortable being myself, and I have friends that like me for who I am.
