Hello everybody!
I hate to be predictable, but I'm baaaaaaaaaaaa-
*flies into mothership and explodes*
I've taken some time off, rethought some things, and let my life get into a better place as well before showing my face around here again. As you all are probably assuming, I being the predictable "lolcow" I am, I did proceed to read what people said after I left and I found it pretty insightful. A post by The Fool stood out to me and I really agree with it.
I got out of line and started, maybe out of boredom, being too confrontational. I want you guys to know that I respect you, not in a positive way admitedly but in the same way you respect a fire-arm. I've read up on the Kiwi Farms on other sites, found out about the sort of extreme abuse and activity that HAS occurred here, and I realize that you guys are not the sort of people to fuck around with. So in the respect that I'm in dangerous waters here, you have my respect. From this point onwards I know where my place is, and I believe I can take my past fuck-ups here and move forward a little wiser.
I want to make it clear that I'm not here to fuck with you guys. I'm not here to see how many times I can poke the hornets nest and get away unscathed, that's not my intention. I genuinely feel that this can be a beneficial relationship for all of us. The trolls get to troll, and have no shortage of material to use (as I'll continue to post my art), and the people who are genuinely interested and civil will get to ask me questions and such. Myself? Well I honestly believe that putting yourself in a place like this can have benefits, I know for sure that I wouldn't have nearly a thick of skin as I do online now if I hadn't been on bullying forums as a kid, subjecting yourself to abuse CAN be instructive. I knew this going in last time, but I made the mistake of trying to talk down people who were trolling. Anyway, I also DO like laughing at myself from time to time, and like I've said before I like seeing the more freaked out responses to my sexuality and art in moderation. The sites I'm already on are filled with friends you see, it's an echo chamber, and over time it can make you feel like no one thinks what you do is wrong. Being here, for me, I suppose is a leveling out of sorts. It's a way for me to stay reminded of how the other side of people feel towards my sexuality and art. I thickens my skin to subject myself to both sides, and I hope being around here can help prepare me for a variety of reactions I would get from people IRL if I came out to someone IRL with these feelings and ideas, you know?
So this is how I hope to have things work this time. Any people who want to troll me that's fine, I realize that's what you're here for. But I'm going to work on my self-control and internet common sense and avoid confrontation or responses towards it, something I should have been doing all along. Those of you, and I know you're out there, that are fascinated by me or my art and want to ask civilized respectful questions or jokes I'm MORE then happy to respond and answer them for you.

As for me? I'll continue to post new art of mine for your collective ingestion.
I'm aware if I DON'T feed the trolls the moderators may find me too boring to keep around and close the thread, it's happened once before. So I guess if it happens again that's fine, it's a way of saying this sort of thing wasn't meant to be.
Anyway I'll pobably put some of my stuff up soon, feel free to react or what not.
