Hello everyone.
*Sit*
So, yall are aware about how I've been teasing about deactivation yes? Well, I've finished the animatic so that means this is the official statement regarding this matter. Get comfy yall.
For context, I adopted the name 'gran_g0u' like 2 years ago, and it had stuck with me like glue. And yes, it had went through a LOT.
Which is why I adore it. I mean, how could I not? It's a perfect nickname. It sound catchy, it's easy to remember, I even have a sick signature based of it, I went viral with the name and like—
"Hey, do you know gran_g0u?"
Wow.
That name really do stuck on people, huh.
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy it does. Yet.
Something happened that made me despise the name now. Like, if I can, I wanna DELETE this name from people's memory. I wished that they never knew gran_g0u existed in the first place.
So, of course, as an impulsive person, I decided the best way to do that is to deactivate.
Yeah, delete this account and start anew.
Be a new person, away from these dramas, problems, haters—
But then it dawn on me.
Even if I start a new account, that doesn't mean that I would not make any mistakes again.
Even if I start a new account, that doesn't mean dramas wouldn't follow me.
Even if I start a new account, that doesn't mean I wouldn't get hated on.
The cycle will just repeat.
Because this is the internet.
And the fact that I had this account for almost 8 years? Dude. I must be going crazy when I thought about deleting it because I'll come clean okay.
I love this account. I love every ART, SILLY TALKS, COMMENTS that I made on this account.
Oh yeah.
I love this account, but not it's name.
I love the friends I made on this account, but I dislike the name they remembered it by.
I truly, cherish this silly account of mine—
So, do I really have to throw away this dearly, silly, beloved account of mine, just because of my hatred towards a name that gave me fame and the side effect of it?
Ronna said no.
Yall said no.
My close friends said no.
As I was contemplating about this whole stuff like a mad woman, Ronna suggested a very silly idea that I don't even know how I didn't think about it before.
"Why don't you just, change your username?"
"Like, change everything. Your name, your signature, your bio—"
"Isn't that count as, start anew too?"
Woah.
She's right. Why didn't I think of that?
Thus, she helped me picked up a new name that I adore— and the official statement regarding this matter is:
I would not deactivate this account (Cue fireworks lmao) because okay I'll admit. Yall convinced me to stay jeez (Thanks).
So:
This account will have a new name yar_Qay!
It's, not as perfect as gran_g0u and that's exactly what I wanted. I know it's silly that an artist write this lengthy ass post about changing her account name but HEY. I like giving closure okay.
So, from the deepest of my heart, I would like to ask that everyone will forget about gran_g0u, and... Accept this new name. LET'S PRETEND AS IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME FOLLOWING ME SHSHSJS
I wanna move on. And I hope yall would still be by my side when I do. But if you do not want to, I won't force you.
*Stand up*
So, what say you, partner?
