Racoon Red

And I understand people are stressed there was beef or a fight or something, but I think we all have to take a deep breath.

Karina has mentioned multiple times shes been tired. She's had a lot going on in the background for months now, in speed paints shes mentioned being busy or preoccupied so she hasn't been able to put as much time into these projects.

Shes been apart of the channel for years. Her art has grown so much over the years, as has she.

Prior to drawfee she was making comics, animations, and pitching animated shows. She even mentioned working on pitches for nickelodeon.

Not to mention, everyone from drawfee knows how much hate she's gotten, from comments, dms, to whole reddit threads full of shit talking her. We mention Nathan's growth, Jacob's joy and Julia's talent but how many of us have spoken about karinas dedication? To studying anatomy, physical media, coloring techniques, animation, running an entire 6 hour drawfee variety hour, fucking everything.

She has never gotten enough credit for her work.

Shes and extremely skilled and well regarded artist, and she has countless contacts both in the art world and the voice acting work. I hope whatever she does brings her as much joy as she has brought us.

(obscuring username as not to single anybody out + not negative. just in case someones shy) but this is actually what we did with our journals at first too. we used lighthouse for some time, alongside discord/simplyplural. but with simplyplural being left and not wanting to be as on our phone/computer, we switched to paper.

for people with higher system counts, there are actually really good paperback journal 'packs' you can get at most stationary stores. if buying a 10/15$ journal seems too intimidating, you can get these packs for like, 10 dollars total, and each one only has about 40ish pages.

this way if you have parts that dont front as frequently, you dont have anyone worrying about 'waste' while still providing them their own space. these are just a few examples.

something unexpected this ended up helping with was actually our individual memories too. i noticed some people asking 'how do you journal if you're blurry/have bad memory as a part?' and, well, that's actually why i started doing it. i wanted to remember more than just 'feeling bad' whenever i fronted, so i carry my journal with me and write down basically like, everything.

even just passing thoughts like 'i kind of wish we had beef strips at home for dinner' or 'im really excited for artfight this year'. when you're trying to recover as a system, especially as a part thats been heavily slotted with a lot of 'negative' emotions, its important to give yourself the space to express more than those things. if you only ever remember yourself as being 'angry/bad' then you wont develop much past that, and you start to internalize that shit and really hate yourself.

journaling has been a great outlet for me to vent and draw my own stuff, but it's also given me some dignity and the space to feel like a person outside of just being like. traumatized. i sort of use it as a vault of everything about me, good and bad, important and trivial.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.
