HI SHEEZY ITS BEEN A WHILE... i've been really busy artfighting i havent had much time to draw fanart. speaking of artfight

i feel really burnt out from af this year?? which is really weird because the last two years ive done af i havent felt like. Any fatigue during the fight?? i havent even done as many attacks as i did last year & i'm already really tired & i kinda just wanna draw my own ocs. i'm not sure if it's because im tired of drawing for other people or if i'm just intensely hyperfixated on my own guys but it's really really weird because this kind of thing never happens to me onseason?? i usually burn out after the fight

i have a small feeling that it might be because of how artfight blew up on tiktok, though. i hate tiktok with a burning passion & i feel like a lot of people on there just... don't get the spirit of the fight?? i'm not saying everyones horrible but theres been a lot more noticeable rulebreaking (i see people posting rulebreaking attacks like. All the time in the recent attacks section/in the server) & a lot more people just. being dicks??? there have always been assholes on artfight but i feel like its twelve times more noticeable this year. im not saying that tiktok is ruining artfight or whatever, but recently it's been feeling more like a social media platform than a community, which is really sad for me considering ive always loved how the community felt (& also that i hate social media lol). the discord server & offiste communities have just been feeling a lot more hostile lately & i can't help but feel disconnected from the community at large. man

but on the plus side i've been getting so many lovely attacks?!? probably already more than i got during my past two years... i feel so honored that people take the time out of their day to draw MY wacky guys out of everyone else on the site. it's still such a special feeling & i cant believe it hasnt gotten old after two years doing this

if you're looking for some people to attack, consider checking out some of the people that have attacked me or some of the friends i have linked on my profile! go make someone's day
