#leaving fandom

[chewytanuki]

The ENTIRE tadc Fandom genuinely pissed me all the way off (I don't condone any of the actions of the cast nor creator) Safe to say I will not be posting anymore tadc content.

Lowkey loosing interest in Metalocalypse

Just give me a second to spit it out, okay?

So, I'm quitting the Forsaken community. I'm not TOO aware of what's going on right now, but I do know that as of recently more and more unignorable issues have made prominent marks on the Forsaken community's reputation, and overall view. I have seen an increase in purposeful mischaracterization, hate-speech, unhealthy 'headcanons' and even more hate-speech towards their own community members. While I am aware of the mark Soul left on the community, that doesn't excuse anyone's actions any further. The devs have also been contributing to this in their own way. Some are toxic, some are worse. Forsaken was born as a passion project by people excited to share their passion with the world of roblox; and has deteriorated into something worse than dreams can protect. If anyone has any information on the most recent drama, please inform me. I'd like to hear what I'm missing, and what may have gone down that I missed in my ignorance. For those of you who care for the REQUESTS you put in, I will look over what I have, and remove what I will not write. As the writer, I have my right to write what I choose. As for everyone else, my requests are still open. I will be adding Regretevator to the list, as well as any other games I may come across I enjoy.

I will still interact with unproblematic fan-art, and certain pieces about my favorite characters. But I will no longer be participating in anything else. Please enjoy the rest of your waking hours, and I'm sorry to those who were looking forwards to something I was going to write. Send in questions if you have any, and I will be around soon!

{hi, it certainly has been almost one month that I don't post something here, yeah?}

{well, there's actually a reason for this:}

{I've been considering leaving the TFQoN fandom}

{I have my personal reasons for that decision, but I needed to announce this bc someone might get confused if I just disappeared out of nowhere}

{Bc of this, Fragaria will also NOT be a TFQoN fan oc anymore}

{She will become her own character with her own universe, even if I have difficulty with worldbuilding}

{I want to thank all of the people that made fan content about her, I'll be forever grateful with that ;) }

Letting Go

How do you let go or something you know you need to but also still love? I couldn’t leave the Harry Potter fandom entirely (mostly because of drama or stress from some sites), I still love the movies, and fanfic ideas are lurking. I could write those plot bunnies and let my original works develop separate, or…convert it and make it all mine. And truly work to become an author, as I’ve always dreamed.

You see, since Deathly Hallows was published, I always wondered “what happened at Hogwarts that year?”. I’ve written so many scenes worth of this and yet, Neville’s and Seamus’ arcs still plague me to write it properly. Though I do have an original idea inspired from DH.

I’m not even sure it’s the setting (though I love dystopias), but the characters and how they deal with the plot. Neville becoming a leader, Seamus standing up against all odds, and there’s Sally-Anne Perks. Oh, my take is she wrote the books and the early drafts got stolen and edited to the prejudice they have now. Eventually, she published the true and rightful stories.

And then there’s a blooming world that’s all mine, and I can do whatever I want. It’s fantasy plus space elements, since space exploration begins much sooner due to elemental magic.

How do you satisfy those wants? I love the headcanons I’ve made (from the 1960s to canon era) but it’s also time to move on. And becoming an author is hard work but I want to press forward and be somebody.

Any advice or support would be very much appreciated 💗.

I’m gonna be real here, once Lower Decks is finished, I’m probably gonna be done with Star Trek, I’ve tried in multiple occasions to get into but it’s quite the slog and difficult to keep interest.

How I feel about Star Trek is pretty much how I feel about Star Wars, it’s alright, I’ve seen most of what I wanted to see but I’m not that invested in it. I’ve seen some Star Trek shows and Movies but I’m only really interested in Lower Decks..

Leaving the Mr Men fandom (for now..)

Hello there, it's been a while since my last post. I decided to make another announcement after what's been going on for the past week. This was unplanned, but due to recent events that I unintentionally caused, I decided to leave the Mr Men fandom (for the time being).

So what happened and why I'm leaving? There's quite a few reasons, but the short one is that it's no longer as fun as it was when I got back into it in 2017. If you want longer details, here's what has been going on.

When I got back into the fandom in 2017, it felt like it was new to me as new fans started to show up just as I was engaged with the series as the 2008 show was about to be a decade old. There was drama that happened later that year, but I just didn't bother with it anymore as the person who started it moved on, and we later made up a while ago. But things started to change by the time the decade ended. I met a client on twitter in 2019 that encouraged me to draw more NSFW (can't say what they are exactly as I don't want to be flagged) as commissions which at the time thought was fun to do. But as time went on, things started to change that I started to lose followers and developed haters because I was in a habit on drawing that throughout 2019-2021. It was also thanks to that person that I started to become unhinged, defensive and cutting boundaries to the point that I wasn't myself. A former friend told me to cut ties with the user, which I did towards the end of 2021, but the damaged was done. Because I hung with the person for a while, his behavior rubbed me off the wrong way that I become worse. Last year, I decided to try out venture off into other fandoms like Anpanman, but that didn't last long as my new friends cut me off after someone was telling stuff about me that made them uncomfy. At the time, I thought on leaving the Mr Men fandom, but that plan fell through after a video about me was made on the stuff I did wrong.

Which leads into the other reason, which is basically a fallout that happened with three friends I met when I got back into the fandom in 2017. Things were fine between me and that group of friends, though we didn't talked as much once COVID became a thing. Now whenever or not it's because of me and my former friends hung out with other people that we become different overtime, the current climate on cancel culture or a mixture of the two, IDK. But what I can tell you is that the friendships I had with these people didn't last long and we had a fallout because of my actions. Over the past week, one friend I knew for a while after they joined DA in 2017 just blocked me out of the blue. As for why, I don't know. We were in good terms until last summer that we had a fallout last year, though after that, we remained on good terms and only chatted every couple of times. Because of that and what was going on with my personal life with my one brother's medical being cut off, I panicked and told some people about it, two of them are friends connected with that former friend. This was perhaps the worst decision I did as not long after that and vented a bit, they got upset and ended calling me out and ended more friendships without knowing the consequences. I just felt upset that I caused more harm, and I feel like I'm just lost and cut off too many people for the wrong reasons.

At the end, I just blame myself for not being close with those friends more and stayed away from the NSFW environment as we ended up in different paths. I went one way and became toxic one way and my friends went another way and heard stuff that I'm a bad person. To tell you the truth, I felt like the climate in the fandom changed a lot, and I don't feel welcomed anymore.

After what's going on, I decided to not talk anymore drama behind the scenes. I felt like I lost too many friends after my last friend cut me off and I just feel like the current environment despite trying to change isn't working. I just wish I wasn't dragged too many things in the past that it wouldn't became a habit. I did taking breaks before, but I feel like that isn't enough.

Now does this mean I'm scrapping projects, removing pictures, close my server or stop drawing stuff related to the series? No, of course not. Unlike the last time I left the fandom, I'll still be drawing as much as I can there's some ideas I want to draw out or haven't posted yet. Art trades and commissions are still open despite what is going on.

For now, I'm just gonna be a fan wanderer (meaning I'll be in and out, but not full time) and draw as normally as before and just keeps things to myself. I just feel like the fandom isn't as welcoming as it was 5-6 years ago. The political climate is too much on recent events and I felt like despite trying my best to ignore the haters, isn't enough. There's some things still wrong with me, but despite that, this experience made me realized that I need to think over on what I should be doing in the future. I originally joined the fandom just to share my thoughts and drawings on a obscure series that's been going on for 50 years and wanted to make friends, but then things fell apart twice so far.

To the friends I argued with for the past week, I'm sorry on what was going. I was just panicking on what was going on and made the wrong decision. I should've been quiet when that happened (even as far back as last year), but my emotions got the better of me and became paranoid.  I wish I stuck around with you more after we first met, but things got in the way. Even then, I felt we all changed so much that aren't the same innocent selves like as we first met and that spark is gone. Even if you don't accept me anymore, I wish you for the best.

To anyone else that was harmed by my actions, I'm sorry for everything. I never meant to upset you.
