Well, this is the end, beautiful friends
So with the eventual Thanos snap of Tumblr next week and a ton of great artists jumping ship to other platforms, this will be my final post. Obviously the current state of things has put a huge damper on sticking around and with my current growing lack of interest in creating art, I feel like my time is just about up here. Art was something I got back into after I dropped out of college to keep me busy, but with the way things have been happening the last couple months that have been keeping me from drawing, its started to become something I’ve thought less and less about, eventually becoming a complete afterthought. I never wanted to feel like I HAD to create something out of obligation and that’s honestly the way ive been feeling lately. I know a ton of fantastic artists, some I’ve made great friends with, that are able to create amazing things at a more faster pace, and I applaud them. But that ain’t me. Sometimes it takes me a whole week or even a month to get started or even finish one drawing at best, and that’s without procrastinating. It was fun and I dont regret sharing my art here or on the booru or pixiv, but I knew it wasn’t going to be a career I wanted to pursue further than that. And since I’m not really a social media person, I will not be making any other accounts. So all in all, I’d say I’m done with it for the time being. I’ll still probably make a thing or 2, but it’ll wither be something I made for myself or share among friends in servers. But for now, it’s time to move onto the next thing. I’m thinking competitive knitting.
The other thing I’d like to discuss is what I’ll be doing with this blog. I know people are already deleting their pages, but letting you know right now, I wont be doing that. I’ll let this stay up for as long as it can as a sort of archive of my past works and things I’ve shared. If anyone happens to find this place in their travels, I will gladly let them see just what a goddamn mess this journey was. In my first post, I said this was going to be terrible and shit was I right. But I dont think I regret it one bit. I’ve made friends with people I was too scared to talk with at first, made some kickass buddies that I’ll happily call my brothers, met a few people while rocky at first eventually became well acquainted with, and met people I genuinely never wish to interact with again for as long as I live. It was an up and down experience that I’ll never forget and i thank everyone that stuck with me since the beginning.
Well, I thinks that’s all I have to say. Mainly because its 6AM while I write this and I’ve been up for 18 hours waiting for the crash, but…yeah, that’s all i have to say. And who knows? Maybe we’ll see each other again someday. Until then, stay gold.
