Hi! I know I haven’t been really active on scratch lately, so here’s a few things I’ve been up to. 1. Activity Yes, I had been thinking about leaving scratch for a while. I never wanted to, but I felt like it was just too much to bear. But before you think I am, don’t worry! I gave it some thought and I just wanna be a little less active. I’ve really wanted to get a y0utu63 account, but I’m scared that I’ll prioritize it over school. So I’ll be giving getting a new account on y0utu63 some more thought. I won’t be leaving scratch though, so don’t worry! 2. Art block Although I have been drawing a lot off of scratch, I still feel unmotivated when doing so. As always, I’ve included some of my recent pieces in the project though so u can give it some thought :3 I’ve wanted this acrylic marker set for wanted and finally gained the courage to ask for them! My mom said I’d have to work for them and get good grades (obviously) so I’ve been doing a bunch of chores and schoolwork too, so I haven’t had too much time for scratch. 3. Obsessions I’ve gained a few more interests! Especially Alien Stage. The entire series is on y0utu63 if anyone wants to watch it :D it’s a bit confusing on the first watch, but if you read the lore you can really understand it better. Luka is my 30 year old child cough what I’ve also watched a few more animes! My favorites that I haven’t mentioned yet are probably the fragrant flower blooms with dignity and d3@th note! :D I also got the spyxfamily latest mangas and now I’m st@rvin9 for moreeeee My top 3 overall animes at this moment tho are probably: 1. Spyxfamily (duh lol) 2. Frieren 3. Apothecary diaries Obviously, these are only the animes i thought of at the moment, but there a so many animes that would be good choices I also watched the new atla movie! It was so good omg ok i’m done rambling about obsessions 4. Mental health (put it in notes and credits cuz it won’t let me put it here???) 5. My comic Yes, I am cancelling Rising Moon. I know I said multiple times I didn’t want to end it, and I still don’t want to end it, I know very well I’ve grown out of it. I want to focus on other art and hobbies instead of making so many comic pages. I did really love the plot but I’m afraid I’m just too much of a perfectionist and I’ll spend too much time on each panel. I will give it a proper project where I give the plot, character designs, and what I was going to do for the rest of the story, though. It’s still beloved to me :)

Not only did one of my dogs um “leave” recently, but my great uncle did as well. I’ve also just felt a bit useless and school is always stressful. My relationship with my dad isn’t really any better except i can find the courage to step out to eat when i need to. So I’m not st@rving and since i do have school, I was forced onto a better sleep schedule. I honestly was thinking about um, making myself “leave” for a few months now, but over those few months I have given some serious thought and decided I would rather not. My friends are there for me, my mom is there for me, Jesus is there for me, my dog Cookie is still there for me, and I want to be able to grow up and achieve my dreams of becoming a professional artist/animator! It’s just been hard, but I know things will get better as long as I keep trying to be better.
