IM NOT LEAVING!! I felt like you should know that before you start reading this. This letter is just a precaution in case the worst happens (I get banned or I leave bc of AI). I was up last night thinking //what if I get banned?// and I wanted to make a backup goodbye letter in case the worst happened and I didnt get the chance to say goodbye to you guys. So, let's start. The first thing that you should know is that Im not planning to leave. I dont want to leave, and yet I feel like I might have to. Scratch changed my life. It is a part of my life now. I would have never found out how much I love to draw and sing if it wasnt for scratch. When I am on here, I feel like there will always be people who will support me, which I can't always say about the people I know irl. I have made so many friends here. I have gotten so good at drawing and creating, because of scratch. Being on scratch brings me so much joy and comfort. It's like a little safe corner of my life where I can always retreat and get lost into. But now with this new AI junk, I dont know if I can trust scratch anymore, and that brings me so much sadness. It also brings me disappointment. I would have never in a million years guessed that Scratch would start using AI. It is sad and it makes me angry too. Everyone - no matter their age - should be able to learn and grow and discover on Scratch. There shouldnt be limits and restrictions on what we can do. It is unfair. And scary. I dont want to have to be scared that AI is gonna copy my art. But that isnt what Im trying to talk about here. Im here to tell you guys that I love all of you. Every one of my friends. Every person that decided to click that follow button. Thank you for supporting me and helping me. I love almost every person on scratch. Almost all of you are amazing, wonderful, kind people and I want to be here to support you. If I can't, if I get banned or if I leave, then I want you to know that I will always try to support you any way I can. As a reminder: This is NOT a goodbye. It is a precaution. If I decide to leave on my own, I will make another goodbye project and that will also have some thanks to my friends and art for yall. Just in case, here are the people that I wanted to thank. It wont be the thing that I had planned, but in case that the ST banned me, here are the people: @qwertyplus Every one of my followers. Every person who ever commented something kind to me. The entire KotLC fandom. The entire Stranger Things fandom. The authors of every one of my favorite scratch comics. Every amazing artist. Every talented singer. Every awesome animator. Every silly person. Every kind person. Every sweet person. Every smart person. Every not-super-smart person Every spectacular person. Every person. Thank you.
