(Below same as project, click to next slide) !!! Flash warning when clicked !!! Hiiii guys! It’s been a while.. scratch had been my hobby, or even my habit, for almost a year, and today, here, after so many inactivity and never-fulfilled promises, I’m announcing that I’m gonna leave the platform. Scratch was always so fun to be here, with different ppl and stuff, and it made me realised how big the world is. The message box gave me so much surprises and joy that I soon became addicted to scratch. Addicted, and ignored all my unfinished schoolwork and irl frds and family time, so much that I felt bad for ppl around me. And while I sometimes seem talkative here, I’m talking less and less irl and caring less and less abt myself and what I was supposed to be doing, i.e. homework, school, irl frds, and family. But just then, during the family trip to Osaka, Japan (which goes very well and I’m pretty much relaxed from school stress, thx) I took in the lunar new year holiday, for 7 days in a row, I didn’t even spent a minute thinking abt scratch. And after I return, I didn’t either, just stay focus at school and enjoy my life. And so that brings us to here. I write to tell anyone who’d like to know that I’m leaving scratch soon. Soon, as in after a project or two. Scratch brought me happiness, but as I grow, I’m starting to feel that I’m too old. While the decision is personal, I also wanna use this chance to say sth important: As a banner maker myself, let’s be honest, what is the use of a banner when it is based on assets made by others? When the client does use it, should he/she credit not only the “banner maker”, but also all the “assets makers”? It just seems unfair to the assets owner.. so for honest banner makers, making ur banner bitmap can not only protect your assets from being stolen/used w/o credits, but also let less ppl have a chance to do so. Besides, as another reason I leave, I simply just have enough with all the forever-ongoing contests and forever-procrastinating-results contests hosts. Be considerate, huh? If u hold a contest, u have responsibilities. But actually I’m not anything better. I’ll be honest, the shop 2.0 kills “danbula”. It kills every last of my motivation. I regret it. Completely. Totally. And I apologise (and so hereby shoutout) to @prismarineartz, , and . Sorry (if u did, ofc) for waiting for the request. They’ll never be done, and I sincerely apologise abt this. As for , my dear sis (can I even still say this? :-:), I’ll try my best to finish yours. But it may as well be my final work. To ppl who like my work (I doubt that) and prize givers that I won/will win, pls don’t hesitate to follow me. I may return one day. And before that I promise to check mails occasionally. In Chinese, goodbye is 再見. 再 actually means “again”, and 見 means “meet/see”. So, actually 再見 means “see you soon”. Goodbye is not bye, and I’ll see u guys soon in the future. Thank you for all the support on my journey, and pls look forward to my final work: entro/request for snj, will be out before the deadline of her contest. Peace and love, danbula Also font is Bilbo Swash Caps
