Still grinding on Stardew Valley and I freaking love Shane's character so much ;0; I just want to hold him and comfort him <3 I honestly see so much of myself in his character... It'd be nice if someone cared this much about me X')

Hey, is everything okay. I couldn’t help but notice your username change and the fact that you changed your toy house account to private. I just wanted to make sure your good, and staying healthy <3 if you need a while to leave, then you are more than welcome to. Just want to say I love your art and you are an inspiration to me.

Shane!! He's my absolute favorite character in Stardew, he's just so well made?? Every time I try to do someone else's route, I get distracted by Shane sjkskakhdj

I'm ok-ish... I'm just in the process of trying to redirect my life and it's taking a bit of a toll on me since art has been my only healthy coping mechanism for years and now it just doesn't seem like a welcoming space for me any more... I'm mostly leaving because I'm tired of the overly sensitive art community and cancel culture. I've met a lot of really nice people and still really enjoy posting art online, but the anxiety is eating me alive. I'll still post stuff on TH which is just authorized only (I believe you're added on there) so people can stop digging through my work trying to find the littlest thing to cancel me over (even though everything is and always has been properly tagged and locked)... I'm grateful to the new harassment rules Tess posted, but it's too little too late for me. The damage is already done. I just don't want to feel this weight on my chest anymore.

I’m really sorry that you have been going through this, and feel the need to leave. If you take a break and you are ready to return, your CS followers will be waiting for you to return. But definitely take as long as you need. I agree that the extreme guidelines and sensitivity here can be quite overwhelming and restricting. Just don’t let it hit you too hard, because then it will be even harder to get back to doing what you love.

Thank you, I really do appreciate it <3 I feel like I'm just over thinking, but this is something I've been dealing with for years and just seriously need a mental break... Drawing is a huge part of my life and who I am, so I definitely don't see myself dropping it completely. Doing the palette challenges on here has been incredibly therapeutic for me and I'll at the very least continue to do them off site. I'll probably lurk on here for a while, but weather or not I go back to posting on here is still up in the air. I'll have to see how I feel after my retreat. It is nice to know I have people who still support me and my art ^^ I'm grateful to everyone who takes the time to talk to me and leave sweet comments on my art!

[Silver Pandorica]

Definitely glad that you're looking out for your mental health! That's far more important than posting on here. Take all the time you need, and if you do decide to return, we'll happily welcome you back <33 I know how draining this site can be sometimes, so a break is well justified. Take care of yourself, and remember that whatever you end up doing, have fun with it!

That’s good to hear ^^ I hope you have a nice break and some quality time to yourself. <3
