Hey! soo uhh, this forum hasn't been touched in a few years at least, and I think that's probably for the best? Gotta move on to greener pastures eventually.
buuuut i did wanna peek back in and say thanks to all y'all for tolerating this edgy, r/iamverysmart dude named Datten for so long. now that i think about it, this whole roleplaying thing that i did as a young teenager made me a whole lot more passionate about art, and a much better storyteller in general. i still retain a lot of influences from it, i think.
hell, current protag of the story i'm working on? he's basically a few incarnations down from good ol' mach zeno, my old sonic OC. of course, at this point, it's basically a whole new character.
but most of all, you guys were just... nice! i was this lonely little confused 14 year old going through a bunch of bad family shit and mental shit. i know it didn't happen very often, but posting around here and playing games of SupCom and all that? really helped me get through the days. tbh, looking back on my younger self... i dunno how you guys did it, i keep cringing and wincing when i read my old messages or posts. it was very kind of you to keep this annoying kid around.
thanks so much!
