I'm abandoning this account, and possibly tumblr as a whole.
Honestly, I've been considering a fresh new start for a while now. I didn't have a good reason too though, until now.
In the light of recent events involving my main fandom, I've come to feel increasingly unsafe in the conditions here. I made the mistake of letting my guard down, but really it was unwise to assume that ANY fandom would be sane and respectful for long. People here failed to realize that all parties involved in the recent events were MINORS. I'm seeing 20+ year olds dogpiling these people, calling them "sickening" at best. These are 16 year olds, you can't expect them to think like adults. If we as adults in a fandom cannot treat drama between teens with grace then I want no part in it. Therefore, I'm leaving.
However, this isn't the only reason I'm going out. Over the past few months my experience with this website has increasingly affected my mental health negatively, practically setting me back years worth of medicinal therapy. It's affected my abilities in college and I've been starting to exhibit behavioral problems. I've made more enemies on here than friends, which is not a big number but I'd rather not let it grow any further.
Will I return? I can't really say right now because I'm to distressed to think about it for the long run. If yes, it will most likely be on a new account (and maybe even a different website/app), and my sona and subject matter for art will very likely be different. I may still doodle pizza tower stuff from time to time on it ;3
Will I delete this account? Nah. I'll keep it around for the good memories I made here. I may even return to it but... unlikely. I just need a change of scenery, and a better environment for myself before things get worse for me and others. Hopefully I will be able to do more without the distraction of this website.
An enormous thank you to all who have treated me with love and respect here, I will never forget you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨
