flag 2x bonjour!! uh, hi this is like a really big announcement so pls read the whole desc. this is gonna be painful so if u don't like um uh confessions ig LEAVE so before i say anything else i'm so grateful for all of my friends and followers on scratch, that's what kept me going and encouraging me to make stuff and everything. couple of shoutouts include @purplemooncat, @-daydreqm- / @hazeL388, and @crqpepwff (i may have forgotten others, don't yell at me for that pls ty lol) to @purplemooncat, aka kayleigh: tysm for being my first friend i ever made on scratch! it's so fun to talk to u with weird convos about the randomest things on earth or whatever but it's still super funny to talk to u <3 u make me like a lot of gifts sometimes and what else can i say? ur such a good friend and tysm for being by my side <33 to @-daydreqm- // @hazeL388 aka berri, can i just first say ur art is incredible? i can never draw like that! when i first saw ur art i was like, man this girl is GOOD! but at the same time u've been another awesome friend asking for advice that i was glad to give, and i just really enjoyed ur content and whenever i talked to u <33 tysm for being a really awesome and exciting friend!! to @crqpepwff, aka lexi, i can't say how slay u r girl (kayleigh, berri, other friends, so r u just saying-) but srsly ur AMAZING! i can't believe u say ur style isn't as good as mine i think mine is just confusing, but anyway enough with the guilt u've been a really good friend even though it hasn't been that long <3 u've been really supportive of me and i appreciate it so, so much <3 tysm for being an awesome friend of many!! now u can probably tell where i'm going with all these thank-yous, i'm just going to flat out say it: i'm planning on leaving scratch. idk how permanent this is going to be, but for now i just need a BREAK. i can't say this is a hiatus bc i've been so ia rn. ik i have to update the aesthetics contest but i have no motive and honestly no reason i need to, i've extended the date to july 31st but u have to get ur entry in by then. i won't extend it any further, as i don't want to have to do anything else on scratch. yeah, it's been kinda boring. it's the same old thing - trending games that are sometimes copied, really cool animation memes by the amazing (i really look up to u!) and stuff like that. and then there's the aesthetic community. SAME OLD THING. projs rating k-pop, pfps with k-pop, whole PROFILE themes with k-pop. it's not that i hate k-pop, which i don't, but it's on almost every single person's profile (no hating i'm just saying) and like i said. it's the same. old. thing. ok so there's the occasional sanrio profile but that's also pretty common. my point is everyone in the aesthetic community is doing the same thing as other aes scratchers are. like i do, a lot of us use the same ideas as others and simply plop credit into the descs (or not at all) and call it a day. i'm a little tired of it. don't u think? being in the aesthetic community has been really fun. really fun! i discovered my real passion on scratch but i've been slowing down. ever since i started scratch and i went to my first year of middle school, i tried to keep up even though i was so busy and too tired for anything here. but i managed. and then found myself addicted and on scratch WAY too much. so i told myself, "hey, focus on school first then get to the fun." but i focused on school and never got to scratch. i made so many promises to do things i couldn't keep up. i ran out of time for things and made the excuse i was too busy - but i really was. it's not that i didn't want to do these things, but i had no motive or point to do it whatsoever during that time. i want to make one last proj before i leave officially, and i've posted a cute banner i made here for fun. but promise me, it's going to be one of my last ones i'm ever going to make. most of the files on my school computer is pngs and overlays i've saved for banners XD so my computer is probably NOT gonna miss those things. :P disclaimer, though: NO i'm NOT leaving YET! i'm leaving after my contest closes and i've gotten results out. bc i'm wanting to leave so soon, i'm gonna have to work on results really fast so that i can have as much time as i need to myself. i will check in ever so slightly on scratch, but mostly i will not be on. other reasons i've not been on is bc ever since i got a new iPad for my b-day in april that's all i've been doing and not scratch. before then, scratch was all i've been doing but that really brought things down on me. in fact, when my grade went down to a B+ in ELA (which is not that bad but i thought it was) once in my sixth grade year (i'm going into seventh now) i cried and kinda v e n t e d about it to and my irl besties. i was spending so much time on scratch i didn't really realize what was happening to myself at school. (continued below)
I'VE DECIDED I'M NOT LEAVING, JUST USING SCRATCH AS A CHATTING PLATFORM MOSTLY AND POSTING STUFF EVERY SO OFTEN!! the most is probably once a month if not counting trash posts XD (continued from top, read instructions topic first) i had slacked off on an assignment which resulted in a D+ which then resulted into the B+, so i wasn't being careful. scratch made my irl life a little bit harder which i am sad to admit. it's not that i'm d3pr3ss3d or anything, it just put pressure on me at other things, believe it or not. sixth grade was a ride for me, and now that it's over, i was glad i could be on scratch more, but i found i haven't been. and that's for these reasons i've mentioned before: > no motive > bored > growing out of it? kinda? no motive and bored of scratch being the main reasons. i feel like u guys won't want to read much anymore, i know it's a lot but pls understand. i don't want much "crying" and stuff so i'll eventually turn comments off here when i leave - but remember that's a little more than a month away. i just want to announce it to make sure u guys are aware of it. my dear friends and followers, ty so, SO much for supporting me and following me and helping! it helped me grow so much on scratch and to realize what i'm capable of on here. i promise these last things before i leave: > 200+ contest results, > (hopefully) one last animation meme i hopefully can code, > farewell gifts and other prizes from my 100+ banner contest (srry for the wait, @purplemooncat!) iwmy guys sm when i leave. but it's a choice i've decided to make and i will keep it until otherwise. ily guys don't forget that!! (btw, @Cutie_Code, i'll finish my entry soon!) also i forgot to put u @Cutie_Code hang on: i'll miss u so much!! ur so kind to me i will miss u!! u always were there for me as well, and our recent chats have made my day sm <33 tysm for being a friend :)) au revoir for now, zoey credits: > banner: by me, made in pixlr e (kinda diff style?) > music: vexento - forever (not owned by me) > size effect: @cloudcrepe, i believe
