so yeah I'm going back to school soon and I won't have time to post between homework and school and blah blah blah soooo.... i've also kind of lost motivation recently and not sure how often I'll be able to post, I'm predicting I'll end up too stressed out and busy luv u guys, message me a crapload so I absolutely atomic s##t myself when I check back finally lmao
so I think I've come to a decision. I will be leaving scratch. my decision is final, I've been hinting at this for a while and I'll explain why. August 6, 2025 so I've honestly grown out of scratch, It's unfortunate but true. scratch has so many rules and regulations and it really restricts the kind of content I want to post. I've also stopped drawing as much, and that's kind of my fault. I'm no longer able to draw without feeling pressured for it to look good. I'm rarely confident in my art, and I'm tired of feeling like I need to compete against 11 year old prodigies. I practice and practice and try but tbh I'll never be that good. the scratch community is also getting really toxic, and I deal with enough drama at school lol. Speaking of, school. I'm going to high school next year. I'll be doing duel enrollment, studying and working summers. there's no way I'll be able to incorporate posting on a coding website I've been using since first grade. I'm in eighth grade now and I'm already stressed out from schoolwork. I appreciate you guys so much, honestly. over 100 followers in less than a year?? that's so crazy to me. even though I'm leaving, I still love all of you guys and I love when you remix my projects, put projects in my studios and interact with me! I will be checking messages but I will not be posting at all or interacting very much. XOXO, Sadie October 12, 2025 sooo update I haven't actually used scratch in a while, i do check in every now and then and I've noticed that this site is like... going dead everyone is leaving or expressing that they don't feel appreciated for their art and effort and this is like... a consistent issue?? it really seems like a lot of artists are severely underhyped or severely overrated? I have over 110 followers and THREE of them bothered to respond to my leaving announcement. I'm not asking for thousands of loyal followers or smth like that but I'm just asking for a community that actually cares?? is that too much??? sorry if this seems disrespectful or smth but I know a lot of other artists who reach out and try to interact with the community and get completely ignored, even though I know they work hard and take pride in what they do, and it's sad to watch them not get the attention they deserve and completely give up. artists I have absolutely loved are all leaving like crazy and it seems like there's two main reasons why. LOCK IN GUYS give the artists the attention they deserve it's rough out there in the art world <3 I haven't picked up a pencil to draw like a month before I even left soooo also I'm gonna update my giveaway with my OCs because some of them are highkey crusty so I'm getting rid of 90% of them stay tuned guys
