mari here. my main has been banned. i will not mention the name of my main, and i recommend you do the same. i'll organize this into four sections: 1. What happened? 2. What now? 3. An update on you? 4. Farewell. 1. What happened? my main got banned because i was ban evading. ive decided to simply leave, as the scratch team wants me to. expect this account to be nuked along with my other alts. admittedly, it sucks leaving. this site has progressively gotten worse, but i was too attached to it to give up. its a very convenient mix of being able to animate, make games, and interact socially all in one site. the reason i ban evaded in the first place was because i was addicted to this site. but, whatever. i can do without it, i probably need to anyways. 2. What now? i will never use this site again. nor do i want to use any scratch alternative, e.g. turbowarp, penguin. stop recommending them to me. you can find me on every other website as, most likely, mariandtheorchestra, and zacccatttaccc if the other doesnt work. send me a friend request on disc. any projects that were being made on scratch are discontinued. eca, fuh 2 and beyond, and liminal point and click adventure. from now on, and once i get a computer, i will most likely make art + animate in krita, make games in godot, and be active on on bsky, youtube, and disc. gives me a good chance to work on that game i mentioned, anyways. look forwards to things this summer. 3. An update on you? i rarely really update on me personally, so i will here. this is going to put me in a low, creatively. i will probably not make a finished drawing for a good month. recently i have gotten into fnaf (i actually have a funtime freddy and bonbon plush on my desk as i write this) and have continued reading homestuck. i like peneta, gamzee, and terezi! and im currently working on finishing fnaf 2. i beat fnaf 1's 5th night a few minutes ago. i am also still trying to flesh out my new self. i need more feminine clothes and such, and i probably wont voice train for a long while. my girlfriend is still nice, and im okay overall. 4. Farewell. this site sucks at this point, but it was my pride and joy from 5th grade to, like, last year. it helped me a lot, and i like the friends i made. @golder675 specifically was one of the first people i found on this site, their old animations were so extremely funny to me. their art is also amazing, so check them out. has also become one of my greatest friends. i found them a long time ago and mostly just remixed their stuff. its insane i got the opportunity to become friends with them. has also been a huge inspiration to me recently. i hope he keeps kickin. i can also still voice act fuh, so dont worry about that. and sorry i have to give up animating fuh. thanks to and as well for helping me find myself and helping me through the start of my transition. im thankful for this site for helping me find some of my best friends and opening up my passion for art, animation, and coding, but ive needed to leave this site for a while, so im at least given a chance to do that. its honestly really depressing to finally be leaving. one day my accounts will have nothing in the recent activity section. ive always hated checking on old friends or people id followed and seeing that. sorry to put you through the same thing. sorry if ive let any of you down, ever, or even upset you at any time. i truly apologize. dont expect me ever on this site again.
