this is awesome i would really REALLY love to announce that i have spent 1 year on scratch. i think that the advice that i have gotten since day one really helped me with having a good account in my career. my past accounts were not that much of an account. then i made this one, and immediately i was frantic. i had just moved past @-MationsBoi- because i thought it wasn't good enough. then i started commenting. then i did applications. i was getting noticed. then, the legend last year before dying, @ToonyTen, thought i was determined and gave me advice and followed me. that was a milestone in my life, because no one had ever followed me willingly like that before. then i got ten follows in one day. everything was crazy. i couldn't believe it. then all my projects started getting views and i ended up getting on the explore page for once. 25 followers, 50 followers, 75 followers. eventually i was at engineering class with @RantsToon and @6lackToon, and i finally hit 100 followers. we jumped up in the air and started screaming with joy, the teacher didn't even notice. then 200 followers, and now, i'm surrounded by a whole community of people who have my back, i got on trending twice, with one of my projects being over 1000 views. everything was because of you guys. and that's not theoretical. thank you, guys, for everything.
