uh hi so yea i kinda vanished from this website for half a year i'm really sorry about that so much absolute crap has just SLAPPED me this past year and i haven't been handling it in the most healthy ways. some highlights are my pet dying just recently, a huge school tragedy that made statewide news earlier this year, crushing on a guy who's gay and questioning my self-worth, college prep, etc etc etc. it's honestly sucked worse than any year of my life tbh, and i just didn't have the emotional or mental energy to keep up with scratch anymore i meant to make some sort of project officially announcing that i was retiring from scratch but... i don't know, i couldn't muster the emotional strength to do it. this website has been one of the biggest parts of my life for nearly seven years now, and saying goodbye to it and all my friends just rips my heart to shreds. that's why i'm posting this on my backup... i'm too scared of the emotional retribution that would inevitably result from making a statement on my main. i just can't bear to hurt my friends like that, but i'm sure i've hurt them even more by detaching myself for so long, if they're even still on this website anymore as well. so to all of you who care, and those who were affected by my absence, i am really, truly, deeply sorry, and i hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. that being said i have another concern that needs to be addressed... to my TWFA readers, I am aware I left the last chapter on a cliffhanger and literally said that the story wouldn't end that way... and then never continued it :') Soooo uh A LOT MORE PEOPLE have started reading this since I left... I'd kind of given up on the fic for a while because I was so burnt out about writing, so worn out from school, and really just not in a great place for a while, so I didn't really care about upholding my commitments. But that changes now!! ENBIES, FOLKS OF ALL GENDERS, QUEERS, 12-YEAR-OLD SANS SIMPS, THE WORLD FALLS AWAY IS BACK!!! I'll get a new chapter posted either tonight or tomorrow and try to keep up a consistent posting schedule until the last few chapters have been released :) Thank you guys so much for your patience, and again, I can't apologize enough for leaving for so long. But I'm happy to be back with you for a bit longer to keep doing what I love!! Music is This December (slow) by Ricky Montgomery Elizaton doodle foreshadowing by me
