I'm worried about the state of the community. After what happened today (which is not to be discussed due to being a very touchy subject), some folks voiced their desire to leave. I had to deal with all this all while trying (key word: trying) to be a good girlfriend and balancing other stresses too. I really want us to try and hang in there, though maybe I'm just being selfish here. I want to be hopeful.
I think maybe we should try to return back to what SBARG is supposed to be all about: working together against impossible odds and the test of time, and helping each other out with things.
Surprisingly, the grist posts were one of the few things that didn't show up during v2 proper. Partially this was because the other timelines had already did it and at the end of v1 a lot of the staff was tired of the grist. But it's been quite a while and I think it's been long enough to maybe start "collecting grist" again, and by which, I mean preforming acts of kindness towards each other and fulfilling art requests too.
If anyone wants me to draw them anything (as long as it's safe for work and not too complicated), post a request in the #v2grist tag. Maybe others will join me in fulfilling requests too, as well as noting acts of kindness towards others that they have preformed recently.
Let us stay strong here. Even if the main story is over.
