press the flag and read the desc. (full notes preferred, or reading main summary below+summaries in notes)!! MAIN SUMMARY: i am returning to scratch!… with limited activity, social interaction, and general involvement. i will be revamping this account this month, but i’m still keeping old projects/studios up for old-time’s sake. happy to be back for my six years anniversary today! ~~~~~~ Original share date: April 23rd, 2026.
FULL NOTES: howdy, people… i have a pretty important announcement to make. i’m… coming BACK?!??!?! yep, that’s right, not clickbait. i’ve decided that a month before finals is the PERFECt time for me to take up scratch again. just in time, too. it’s my SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY of when i joined! the nostalgia of goofy remixes, warrior cat roleplays with no grammar in sight, and.. the actually wonderful scratch community finally hit me, so here i am. cowabunga, hallelujah, yippie ki yay. here’s my wacky idea of coming back finally materializing right before your very eyes. with that being said, let me give you the lowdown (yeehaw) of what me coming back entails (serious mode now, lock in guys): 1. activity. unfortunately, with me being older, i cannot be on here 24/7 like i was 2-3 years ago, and i instead have a lot more responsibilities with a lot less time to fulfill them. my family, school, health, and whatever else i wish to do like touching grass ALL COME FIRST before scratch; this is non-negotiable. therefore, my activity and times available to spend on here are deliciously limited to a few hours max a week (most likely on the weekend), and a minimum regular schedule of 2+ times a month. if i specify that i will be gone/unavailable for a given amount of time, please understand that this most likely will not change whatsoever - i do apologize though ahead of time if this is to interfere with set dates (*e.g., the completion of a MAP part, previously set date for releasing contest results/a project, or just saying that i’d be active on a certain day). if something like an interference with my activity on scratch comes up, i will probably not announce it (except in the case of set dates* or a long, previously unplanned hiatus), and resume my activity again when possible. ACTIVITY SUMMARY: ONE DAY PER WEEK of expected scratch activity. 2. social interaction. over my time on scratch, i have experimented with many different amounts of social interaction, and i have decided on the best amount for me. since i’m notorious for being a world class time waster yapper 2000, my interaction will be more limited compared to the past. this will look like most of my comments open in projects and studios (with an exception of my profile’s comment section staying closed), but i will ONLY be interacting with others who have genuine questions, those who i already know (mutuals & those known off the scratch platform), and those who i am working with (character adoptions, MAPs, collaborations, etc.), with an exception of something like a QnA/chat project. this also means that I AM NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS NOR F4F (sorry!), and even then friendship on here is limited due to parental rules and as a personal decision. INTERACTION SUMMARY: COMMENTS MOSTLY ON, BUT LIMITED INTERACTION TO CERTAIN PEOPLE/SCENARIOS. 3. involvement. as for how i will be re-entering the scratch community, i will have slightly different involvement as before. i will be posting more focused content and some “serious” content (as in content with more effort & time spent on its creation). that part doesn’t matter as much for you all to know, but what does matter is my status: CLOSED: F4F, Adds, and Spam. OPEN: Collabs, MAP Invites, and Contest/AT/DT Invites. a note that those that are marked “open” are CURRENTLY fully open, BUT i am only taking serious requests, and once i receive a certain amount, they will be temporarily closed. these requests, naturally, will open again once i see fit haha. i may also join contests and related stuff on my own too (obviously), but that’s just for a reference of what requests you all can make are open. INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY: POSTING MORE FOCUSED CONTENT, MOST REQUESTS/INVITES REMAIN OPEN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. soooooo… with activity, interaction, and involvement out of the way, i guess it’s time to celebrate my six years on scratch!… almost. before i can do that, i will actually be revamping pretty much my entire account (profile appearance, speech tone, etc.) over the next month. even though i will be revamping it, i perhaps will make a project as an ode to the old marly which will contain what my profile looked like before this whole change, along with keeping all old projects and studios up but just stating that some are outdated. REVAMP SUMMARY: CHANGING PROFILE LOOK BUT PRESERVING ALL OLD STUFF. anyway… CONGRATS THAT’S IT! here’s a lemon shortbread cookie for reading all that insanity :3c (comment that you got a lemon shortbread cookie please because i lowkey wanna know who actually read all this). six years on scratch is diabolical but i can’t wait to yap with some of you again finally (you know who you are)!!!!! love you all! -marly out. ^^ CREDITS: images from online, music is skiptracing by mild high club, art by me. ~~~~~~ Original share date: April 23rd, 2026.
