In light of the website's handling of money walls and its treatment of artists, I can no longer comfortably post here. Now, it was no mystery I've become pretty detached from DeviantArt, but I can say with confidence that this is where my journey here ends. I have deleted all my art for the sake of reclaiming it from the site, though I have archived each and every piece. I know this page is pretty barren now, and many of the friends I made moved on. But to those who haven't deactivated and would per chance see this? Thank you. For your patience, encouragement, and kind words. I was a child with no understanding of the internet and the art capability of a toddler. The definition of 'cringe' with absolutely no self awareness. But for the people who gave me their time, you all helped make me who I am today, and I can't thank you enough. There are many horror stories about how cruel people can be on sites like these, and I'm extremely lucky that I didn't have to experience that for myself,
