Green flag and read the description. sCRATCH, STOP IT WITH THE QUALITY REDUCTION Edit: D'aw you guys, thanks for 490! :D 500?! You're all freaking amazing!
Hey guys, I meant to do this as soon as I hit 480 (since I missed 400 and 450) but I had finals. So I couldn't fit in both. Oh well, I hope you appreciate the little drawing I put in here. :D Oh, and sorry if my art dumps are getting a bit old and stale. I just can't find the time to make weekly animated shorts or whatever anymore... So, yeah... Now sit back, relax, get yourself an ice-cold Kombucha Tea (or if you live where I live, maybe not ice-cold) XD because you're in for a story. A nice, long, ol' Rainpaw7 story, young'ins... It all started in 4th grade. I had learned about Scratch in school, and decided to make an account. Mainly so my IRL friends could see what I made outside of school days. But then something happened, I started having people add me to their "friends list". I started getting love-its and favorites... And do you know how big of an honor that was, and still is? Seriously guys, every follow, love-it, favorite and comment I get isn't just another "notification", it's a sign that people care about what I do, I'm not just the "weird pervy zelda doodle kid". It makes me feel more important, I feel like I fit in. I have so many amazing friends on here, so many awesome inspirations, so many aspiring, awesome followers on here! I love all of you! (in a platonic way) Anyways, back to the story. Then, in 5th grade, it went even further. My infamous first OCs; Meow, Candy and Grouse became the stars of my animations, and people would watch them. Lots of people. Getting feedback on what I do has always been something I've loved, and I started to have that in 5th grade. 6th grade came next, and even more amazing and unpredicted was the "fame" of my account. I would get front-paged for my Rainpaw animated shorts and iPad art dumps that I'd piece together at @Mistysplash-warrior 's house... However, I got stuck in a rut, and was only able to make cats in a panic of losing "fame" and views. Now, in grade 7, I may have lost views and comments as opposed to last year, but I have some of the most epic people following me. And I guess what I was trying to say is, it's not about the views, or the love-its, or the front-pagers (though they are very deeply appreciated), but about the friendships, the experiences, the things that being part of a site such as Scratch has taught me, and I'm sure, all of you too.
