I sincerely apologize for scaring you all with that thumbnail I had to get your attention. I am going to ramble but that's okay. Hi. I'm Blue. I've been on scratch with this account for over 4 years now. That means I've been on here since sixth grade. Since I was /eleven/. That's so long! And I've done so much. I've written a bunch, drawn a bunch, laughed a bunch, oh my gosh this has been so fun. But I am moving accounts. 1. I hate my username. so much. I am trans, and have recently been really struggling with intense dysphoria, and opening up scratch to see my user just hurts every time. 2. I have been on here. for four years. there's some things on here that I'm okay with leaving behind, specifically a lot of old poetry. none of my content is bad, and I truly treasure how much all of my old posts have helped me through difficult times. but just like my username, they haven't exactly aged like fine wine, or at least they haven't aged into something I want to see every time I want to go on scratch. 3. I want to start over. I'm in the middle of transitioning irl, and I really want to leave behind old versions of me. not because I think they're embarrassing, or because I hate the old versions of me, but I think I need to put them to bed, you know? they need to rest. I need to become who I want to be. 4. I'm taking scratch less seriously. I've decided that I really don't want to be making projects for views or likes, I don't really want to be joining studios or posting a bunch (expect for vent comments bc those heal my soul but that's a different conversation). And this account was kind of built as a rather serious acc. I'd do a lot to try and gain more followers. I want to chill out a bit. questions I know y'all will be asking and I don't want any of y'all to be nervous: 1. I'm not deleting this account!!!!! I will however be shutting off all comments except for this project, and leaving studios to just empty out the account and lower my messages. im not deleting any projects, though, except for my dmc :') that is now closed. apologies gang. 2. I will still be checking in on this account, especially right after I post this project, just to do admin and answer y'alls questions. 3. please DO NOT feel pressured into following my new account or coming to see me. you can say goodbye in the comments down below if you want, or just disappear, im easy either way. please do not feel the need to go hang with my new account. I totally respect your decision either way :) but if you want to say hi, I'll be around (on the new account.) 4. I'll probably still post some poetry every now and then on my new account. can't let all the old stuff die, right? so I mean more poetry. yay :D 5. I will be venting a LOT on my new account, and will be covering some possibly sensitive topics. be warned. stay safe. I have loved my time on this account sososososo much and I have grown and changed and etc etc im not d y1ng y'all like im gonna be okay and ill still be here lmao Idk why Im being dramatic :') but I am putting the old part of me away. I will not be bringing up this account anymore. im not moving my old projects to my new account. (I will be following a lot of the same people but that's bc they're cool and deserve it lmao). I would like to become someone new, which is why I want to use a different name on my new account. you can call me Ziggy or Blue, really whichever one you prefer, and I am so 10000% okay with anyone still calling me Blue (especially bc I love you platonically). Please stay tuned as I update things and shuffle things around and figure things out. there will be probably be about a few days of transition with this while I figure out where everything goes. also im keeping this account up because this is my proof that I am a scratch veteran (or will be. one day. Im still sticking around for as long as possible.) I have LOVED THIS ACCOUNT. we've had such fun times. good night, . please welcome to the stage....... stay rad - Blue (or Ziggy. either one works)
