First and foremost, I should probably warn you... once you click the flag, the song will not stop playing. You will literally have to go inside the project and disect the code to turn it off. So. Now! You should probably click the flag right about now. All it does is play a song... that you probably need to hear. Hey, Violet. I know you're considering leaving Scratch. And I will totally understand if you do. But you are such an awesome person that I don't WANT you to leave. Nobody should! You literally make my day when you post TSoS stuff. And you are the only person I can safely call my friend who likes KotLC as much as I do. Heck, my other friends don't even KNOW about KotLC! And... I know that bullying hurts. I got sort-of-bullied when I was 11. The kids in my class were annoyed because they didn't like how I would just spout random facts at completely random times, so they would rather rudely say, "Did I ask?" And they would act like they DIDN'T just push me a little closer to a figurative cliff edge. It got so bad that I, the people pleaser that I am, pretty much hid my personality under a blanket and pretended it didn't exist. I was dangling off the edge of the cliff by a tiny thread. If some really nice classmates at my new school hadn't found me, I would have fallen. I don't want to know what's at the bottom of that cliff---and I don't want you to find out for me. Getting a bully to be so ticked that they leave you alone isn't an art. It's just drama. I learned from a Facebook reel that my mom showed me that if you do the following things, the bully will leave you alone. ~ Compliment them. they will have no Idea what to do with the compliment, so they'll get frustrated and leave you alone. ~ Agree with them. You can fake it, and they won't get the reaction they want, so they'll get frustrated and leave you alone. ~ Ask for clarification. If they have to tell you why they think you're stupid or dumb or something moronic like that, they'll get frustrated and leave you alone. You seeing a pattern? This is just an idea, but you can also be completely random. You can burst into song, you can tell a dad joke, or you can breakdance. Just don't let them say anything. I don't have any idea if that will work, but it's a thought XP. If they reject, you, that's their loss. You are an awesome person, Vi. I'm not even being biased because you gave me a part as a cloaked figure that I'm probably going to botch. And Autism isn't even something you should be slightly shameful of. It's a wonderful thing to have. Heck, I have Autism! (Only a little, and it's mom-diagnosed, but that's ok :P) My closer friends love me, probably partially BECAUSE of that Autism. So if someone makes fun of you because of it... don't even try with them. They don't deserve your friendship. That was the most I could think to say without launching into my long life story. Which would tell people where I am. But. There is more that is more Scratch-related. Once upon a time, I started a WoF fanfiction. And them I decided that it was too much pressure. So I gave up on it. You can do the same. Don't feel any pressure to continue TSoS! It's an awesome series, and I would be sad if you ended it, but I would totally understand! So tht was... my pep talk. You're probably tired of hearing Your Way's Better, so I will give you the secret. Detach the "When timer is > 0" block from the "Broadcast message1" block. ;D
