HIYA!!! One question? Why did you deleted all of your arts and post? You’re not used to Tumblr anymore? If so any other socials I can find you?
Hi Anon!
I'm not a big fan of the CATCF fandom due to my prior experiences in it and I have extreme paranoia because of them as well. Admittedly, a lot of this can be attributed to my own actions, but I'd also counter with "I was underage in a fandom space where a fair share of the members were adults" and I felt a need to defend myself because of that. I'm now an adult myself and looking back on when I was extremely active in the fandom makes me feel a whirlwind of emotions for countless reasons I won't get into publicly on Tumblr of all places.
Though I hold the IP very close to my heart and still constantly create things because of it, I often delete my public works because of my own fears that a few people from my past may find me and use it as a way to cause me trouble again 😅 That and the stigma of being a Violet fan send me over the edge, there's only so many of us that are anti-da bullshit but I've been given enough issues over the years for one reason or another.
If you're 18+ and want to reach out to me (either non-anon or specify you're the same person, please!), I can give you my Discord if you want to talk. I truly do love CATCF, I truly do care for the kids in a way I can't really explain in a post, but I also have a lot of anxiety about the people I interact with. I speak to two people in the fandom at this time on and off, but I'd love to connect with more if I feel like there's no ulterior motives with them.
And at the end of the day, my concern is still about minor safety in this fandom. I have no interest in da-adjacent affairs and the least I can do is make that explicit.
