so, hey..! havnt been on here in awhile :) i really dont expect anyone to read allat, but i hope somone does lol
(typed in google docs, formatting may be off!!) So, heya all!! I haven't made anything or posted anything sense late (and I mean LATE) march. Here's some pathetic excuses as to why! 1/ I've been busy in the summer; loss of interest in scratch I had a lot of things going on, and had my chromebook/pc taken, leading to a lack of productivity, and scratch overall was not interesting to me. All the notifications I got were from studios, so I really didn't have any inspo to go on with my account or anything. I'm not a suuuper popular scratcher, and knew no one would care if I left. I do still work on meme temps (remixes) sometimes, but they're just busy work and lack any real purpose, and I doubt they'll EVER be posted. 2/ Lack of talent (kinda) and inspo. When I say I lack talent, I mean I truly am god awful at coding. I'm good at drawing I guess, but when your art tab is taken and you have to draw w/ a mouse, your talent (in my case at least lololz) kinda just evaporates. It was really discouraging, knowing I can't really show off my real artstyle nd skills, and while i have an art tab NOW (kinda, ill get to that) i still would have to go redraw a buncha stuff for old unposted content to get it *SLIGHTLY* ok for the public to view. I also have slightly lost interest in a bunch of my old fandoms; undertale/deltarune, gravity falls, mouthwashing, and dandys world to some extent (i still like dw, just a lack of new content i can access really made me lose interest.) All this mixed together with the bad coding skills and the fact that no one really cared that I left to make a general distaste for scratch overall. 3/ Why I TRULY chose to take my long break. The real meat of the problem comes with me going to hs. With so much new stuff on my plate, I truly understand why many scratchers left. Its a lot managing 8 FREAKING CLASSES which have 1.5x (not exactly 2x lolz *sobs) the amount of work. Most of the work is not even hard, it's just pmo because i already know it, and have to prove it by doing 1500 words about how rocks form. This really gives me issues, sense i have missing assignments from just drawing the entire time SINCE I KNOW THE STUFF THERE TRYING TO TEACH ME? For context, I'm in 9th grade HONORS language arts. What are we doing? LEARNING HOW TO WRITE 5-6 PARAGRAPH ARGUMENTITIVE ESSAYS. WE LEARNED THIS IN FOURTH GRADE GNG?? Regardless, I'm grounded from ALL screens and am writing this under the lie that it's a public speaking assignment. Scratch’s moderation is also just super SUPER buns and i dont wanna deal with their censorship. SO! WILL I BE OFFLINE FOREVER?? The short answer is: no!! I have no intention to leave scratch fully, and DO have intentions to restart a lot of my acc. In fact, you may be reading this on , my new account as of now!! The thing is though, I still have to edit a lot of my projects. I'm also banned from screens right now, so that means that I have to wait a bit before posting any more REAL content. I DO intend to continue starz news!! It's a passion project of mine and I have no intention of abandoning it now. Also, toon island’s name has been changed to starz landing! And will be posted on my (soon to be created) red play button app and ibispaint! (hope to see yallz there!!) I will keep the login info for this account forever and always, and it does hold a special place in my heart as my first REAL scratch account. I just want to move past all my old middle-school shenanigans, and to do that, I have to leave this account behind, for better or for worse. thanks for the memories, all. -starz catt
