Onto my rant - First things first - I haven't been on this site in a while, y'all know that. I have choir, theater, school, geometry, and my social life that appeared out of nowhere. Im busy and I don't have time for this site. Its also because my art has grown and so has my mental state, to the point were I dont want to post things on here anymore, at all. Like, while gonna see them and who's gonna care and blah blah blah, I don't really care about my art getting famous and being seen by others all too much, its recently become just for me. I like it better like that personally, less stress for me and my art. My art rn is basically me just trying to tell my stories, they have become the most important part of my characters and I want them to feel alive and real. Y'all remember when I said I was making a comic I was gonna post? Yea that's never happening (sorry lol). Scratch isn't the place for storytellers, you get hate, you get it stolen, and it doesn't matter how good your story actually is bc what matters is the audience viewing it. Not to say their aren't great stories on here, but I read, I read a lot, and my standards for stories and what I read are so high that I can't share my stuff on here that I worked so hard on to get it barely noticed or stolen. I don't want that to happen to my stories. To all the people who share stories on here, thank u, you are all wonderful and have sparked so much imagination in people who read it. (Special thanks to , your comic inspired me to write my own, many thanks and all my love! I would have never gotten here without your story!). But yeah, since all my art revolves around my stories now, I mainly post on TH, but only because it stores my characters and their art, its not even really posting though lol. I've just really grown up, tbh, little me who just wanted to have fame for her art is gone, and I feel like its better this way. I just draw what I want,not caring who sees it, and I'm happy. Im also not feeling any joy checking in on this site anymore, as my life is now consumed with interests other than art that I love so much, and the fact that I have no good friends on this site lol. My best friend has a th and we talk irl, and and me talk over another site. I really don't have a lot left here. (besides some other wonderful people, your compliments meant the world to me!!) Yeah, so this is a hiatus, but most likely, its me just becoming inactive. I will check in every few weeks or so but other than that, I've had a good time on this site, y'all really helped jumpstart my art and story skills. Thanks for everything!! <33333 Lots of love, - Aves (Also, here's my toy house if u want ) https://toyhou.se/DoodlesByAve
