i deservve better treatment than this

[[New Year's cleaning: FINALLY COMPLETE. I went through a tidying spree! Let's start the blog off fresh again.

[[OOC: I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season, no matter what you choose or choose not to celebrate!

AKA, consider this a retirement post. I'd like to thank everyone for their comments, questions, compliments, and support - I thought I at least owed it to everyone to draw the curtains instead of quietly abandoning the blog.

There's a lot of reasons for my decision, but I think the best way to explain it is that I'm no longer having fun with the askblog, and there's no point in perusing a hobby that doesn't make you happy. Maybe we'll run into each other again during another project.

((Gosh, where do I even begin? I guess the best way is just to say thank you. The follower count for this blog has just exploded since I started it! I actually hit the 5k mark around a little over a week ago - as of right now, the exact count is 5,777. Nearly 6k. That is absurd. 

Considering that for the last two answers I danced around giving you guys Eridan's eyes and smile, I thought a little indulgence was a good way to thank everyone.

Now, a few announcements:

The ask box is reopened! Try not to go too crazy with this.

I added a FAQ, which covers a bunch of frequent questions I get regarding programs/brushes/etc.

My main computer is currently in for repairs, so things will look a little different while I'm on an older model using different tools.

((Hello everyone! I'll try to make this short, since I know everyone is here for ask replies and Eridan, not to be drowned in white-noise words posts.

There was quite a few comments and criticisms about ask reply #2: the envviromental message, particularly regarding Feferi. I recently addressed these, and thought it might be a good idea to link my thought process, explanation, and swallowing of pride for those who might be interested.
