honestly not sure i still want to run HSSS. it was a fun little side project when i was looking for resources for making my fantrolls, but i pretty much make them all myself these days, and there isn’t a whole lot that i need that isn’t already on there. i don’t even still make sprites anymore, and the entire blog is literally CALLED “sprite sources” for fuck’s sake, that’s an issue. shit, john’s only still part of it to help me sort through asks and followers, he doesn’t even really do fantrolls anymore…
it’s pretty draining, considering i absolutely hate the “sprite” community and everything they’ve put me through. actually, y’know what, i just hate the homestuck fandom in general. it’s full of antis and discourse and obnoxious bratty children who bully people because they have a B/W mentality, and john and i are both tired of trying to play nice with the fandom when it’s never done the same for us. i’m tired, WE’RE tired of shuffling through followers every single day to be met with people who hate our guts and don’t realize it.
if nothing else, i absolutely refuse to stay anywhere near the “sprite” community considering it harbors a handful of toxic people pulling all the strings, and that is also exhausting to deal with. trying to keep old drama quiet is wearing my mental state extremely thin.
as a whole being a part of it is physically exhausting. so we’re trying to work something out. i’ll keep you posted.
