hey ! it's... been a while, huh ? four years. i think it's time i was truthful. i'm... so tired. i've come to despise this site. people are toxic and the mods kinda suck sometimes, but i think my biggest qualm with scratch is the roleplay community. where do i even begin ? i just wanted to say goodbye one last time. maybe i'll keep up with my check-ins. maybe i won't. i don't really know. again, i'm available off-site on chaos (@vertisea) ! i will not accept frqs without knowing who you are, dm first or at least put your scratch user in your bio/status. i did want to leave a final message for two specific people, though. @angelkitty4 cam.. i can't thank you enough. you kept me going somedays, knowing lotuslight and ardentthought had a roleplay that i needed to respond to or just checking in to see if you had posted new art. you're amazing at art, and you were an even more amazing friend. thanks for everything. maybe we'll see each other again someday, off-site. and comet. @-coffee_beanzzz i really miss you, and i probably will for a while. you were one of the best people i met here, and i adore suncone/pinestreak <3 although i don't own solar's design anymore (tiger seems to have gone offline), i still love pearl and celest was truly my favorite character i've owned in a roleplay. i'll probably be doing a purge of a lot of characters soon. stay tuned, i guess. my original draft is below. be warned of disturbing topics. i love you all, but the things i have seen on scratch roleplays truly make me wonder if people remember that this is a children's site. the constant demand for high-quality roleplays, for multi-comment responses, is exhausting and unrealistic for children. you are killing your own community with your intolerance. and the worst, WORST things i've seen have been from my own roleplay community, the warriors community. i have seen people roleplay horrific things, including s3lf-c4nn1b3l1sm, 4bus3, and incredibly g0r3y murders. this is NOT okay. this is a children's website. they should not be exposed to these things so lightly. you can have your evil murderer cats. you can have your brutal, g0r3y roleplays, but do it off-site. i don't care if you only have scratch. so did i, when i loved roleplaying. i don't care if you can't find other 'good' roleplaying communities on other sites. work harder to look or make your own. i don't care.
