*Sigh*
It's time for my bi-annual post asking where these new TPS fans are coming from.
There's a lot more of them than usual popping up from this year and late last year. Has that show hit the "nostalgia zone" or are younger people actually getting into it? If it's the latter, how and why are people learning about it now?
Tbh, the answers to those questions don't matter to me. I just wanna give my personal stance on it for the time being:
I’m not interested in the show at all right now. I'm probably not gonna draw it, or talk about it again except in reference to stuff like this happening. If you're following me with the hope that I'll somehow get into it again, then you're gonna be disappointed. (But, thank you if you decide to stay for my other nonsense. I don't mind if that was how you found me, and you're staying for other things, but don't feel obligated to stay for content I'm not making anymore).
I'm never gonna update the wiki no matter how many of you like that post now, and I'm gonna delete it now so I stop seeing the notes on it. Y'all seem to be strong enough to do that on your own anyway. Even if I wanted to, I can't remember the trivia that I used to know except in broad strokes, and I certainly can't source them anymore, which is a bad look for any wiki.
Look, I will never be able to fully separate myself from that fandom because I was in it for so long. Being a part of it was an essential part of my growth as an artist, so it's always gonna be a part of me. I'll probably still reference it from time to time, but it's not something I have an interest in going back to. My tastes have changed significantly, and it just doesn't have anything to offer the "me" of today. As such, I don't have anything to offer it either.
#if you don't know what i'm talking about#then don't worry about it. this post isn't for you#it's not that i'm embarrassed or shameful about it#(well there's some old art that doesn't sit well with me anymore. but it is what it is)#it's just not something i'm a part of anymore#and the more people remind me of it#the more i recall things that actually make me *dislike* it#so i'd rather not be bothered about it and let it remain the somewhat pleasant memory that it was#rather than drive myself into ripping all of its faults apart#because it has MANY#some of which are only becoming apparent now that i think back on it#what i'm saying is#if y'all try to drag me back into this#i'm going to become an enemy. not an ally. so please allow me to remain neutral by not bringing it up#i'm halfway thinking about locking up the old ask blog so i won't be bothered by its notifications#(i won't delete it but i will password protect it)#so if there's a post from it you like#you'd better save it now before i do
