1 Year ______ My Scratchiverrsary was actually yesterday, but I thought it was today. Also, I was on the last word of this long speech and accidentally highlighted it all and wrote "I." You understand my frustration, right? lol It has been a long journey. I have learned to roleplay, to draw, to code, to compose, to help, and I'm learning for this last one, I have not accomplished this yet, but to inspire. And all because of Scratch and it's community. Through @cutebunny16161, I learned the difference between custom blocks and broadcasts, how to roleplay, how to code, and how to become an artist. Every day, I woke up happy to have TFCRP and ready for another day with Brindlecloud. In WindClan, I drew for Brindlecloud. I would have stopped drawing long ago if not for all of you. Thank you, WindClan and all of TFCRP. In @MayaWater- I learned to be aesthetic, and to draw realism, although I certainly still have much to learn. In @CloudRoleplay, I returned to the Four Clans in Bloomkit. This wouldn't have happened without the help of @----Evergreen----, @---Petal---, or @Purplepaw_Draws. To that I thank you. Although I am unsure where my path will lead me in terms of roleplaying, I never could have gotten this far with out all of you. There are a few people I would like to mention. First off, there is @Qwizzical. Qwizz, I have always admired your art style and animations, the speed in which you animated was incredible. I checked your profile every day multiple times, and if nothing was new, I rewatched some. I was honored to have you roleplay as Brindlecloud's kit, you truly are a great artist and roleplayer. But most of all, you inspired me to draw. Yes, that's right, the artist you see here today never would have happened without you, Qwizz. It all started with a click of a blue button. My very first art piece was for you, as a holiday present for being my first follower. I never could have gotten this far without you, and for that I thank you. Next, and Shadow, you really brought my roleplaying to life. I don't think Brindlecloud would have lived as long as she did without you and Shadebriar. Maybe neither of us were... the most descriptive roleplayers, we kept saying "sHe dId tHaT tOo" lol, but I would have given up roleplaying long before I did without you. And... I replied to your reply of my replyyy that was our first conversation but it was fun lol. And _;P_ yes we shall forever have the sickness of _;P_ XD Branch, without you, Brindlecloud would have only had a mate. Not a friend. Leapfoot also played a great role in keeping Brindlecloud alive, and he brought out a hobby of hers, tree climbing. Remember when Leapfoot was watching Brindlecloud when she fell from a tree and he caught her? Terrible things could have happened without him. Ironic that Brindlecloud went to StarClan because of a falling tree, isn't it? Instead of her falling, it fell. And now... Alpine, you sought me out through all your accounts. Although you may have lied to many, I understand that you wanted fresh starts. I considered following your path once as well, although I didn't and instead simply moved to MayaWater. You encouraged me in my art, you stayed with me here on Scratch through my entire journey. You make simple art, true, but I really like your vector style, and your animations are really smooth! Mountain Air is just so uplifting, I'm looking forward to your next song. You strive to help every Scratcher, no matter their talents, their grammer, their situation... and you're actually good at it! In that, I admire. Thank you for always sticking with me here, Alpine. To all of you. All of my followers, all who cared enough to come here... thank you. Thank you for encouraging me during my art journey. Thank you for being apart of this community, being part of Scratch. And thank you to those who I did not mention, but fear not, I did not forget you. Thank you for making this year amazing. I'm ready to learn more, and I hope someday I can become almost as good as some of those smooth animators, like . I know that probably won't happen, or at least not any time soon, but that doesn't mean I won't try. And without all of you, I never would have kept trying. So thank you.
