i feel like i always knew i'd leave. not by choice, but because of my parents. they've always been really, really strict on boundaries when it comes to the internet. so...yes, what spooky was talking about was accurate. my parents have completely banned scratch, tumblr, magma, and every other form of media i could share my art and talk to you guys on. no more chapters of heartwood will be coming out. im especially sad about this - i was really excited to share my story idea with everyone. i'm going to miss you all so, so much. you've all been such a huge part of my life and i love you all so much. i want to give a shout-out to Rain, Fern, Spooky, Kat, Bluebird, Raven, Yogurt, Cheeseball, and King. You've been HUGE parts of my time on scratch and huge parts of my life, honestly. I'm going to miss checking in on you guys and talking to you, because i appreciate and love all of you so much. im actually tearing up rn...gosh, i feel like im leaving behind so much. i might be able to come on every once in a while to check back in. maybe every couple months. no promises, though, i have no clue what else my parents might try to enforce on my devices other than monitoring what i do like hawks... so, formally, this is pepper, signing off. i love you guys. thank you so much for being in my life, and continuing to offer your support. words can't describe my appreciation for everything you've done. - pepper <3
