Thanks ^^

@Acid Flask
Not bad. I probably won’t upload anything for pride month.

Started a painting for Pride month ^^

It’s gonna have the straight ally flag behind Acid and the bi flag behind Film.

@belmontzar
thanks!

@Toastypk
WOOO oh that is just the coolest thing ever.

@CountDerpy
OH THATS AWESOME HELL YEAH ^^

I’m thinking about leaving again for a while (probably not forever). I feel like I need to get the fuck out of here for my own mental health but as I’ve said before, I’m beyond any kind of help at this point. Not sure when or if I’ll leave again.

@Toastypk
Nice.

Pretty.

My contribution (besides the banners)

@Toastypk
Adorable

Have a look at this, everypony!

This is an image four of us worked on last year, and now it’s finally uploaded!
It’s Dust, Lightpoint, Countess, and Morrigun as Final Fantasy classes fitting to our OCs.
Descriptions of each are included.

-pounce and huggle- YAY ^^ I hope things get better!

Here’s an image I uploaded two years ago with a score just under 100. If it gets one more upvote, it’ll be my second image with a score above 100 (and the first uploaded from this account). Both of them would have taken two years to get 100+ upvotes which along with the fact most my uploads barely get any votes at all shows how awful I am at art (though it’s far better than the shit I uploaded back in 2020).

Update: It just reached 100 (after 2 years).

I’ll happily hand out hugs for those in need!

It’s just good to see you and yeah you focus on your mental health first Morri.

I need a hug. Terribly bad.

HUGS FOR ALL [only if hugs are wanted]
-happy purr-

Yeah as much as I’d like to remain in contact with my friends here, it’s better to have real life friends than internet friends.

@Morrigun
It’s fine. You’re probably better off not being here if you’re concerned about your mental health.

thank you ^^”” sorry I wanted to reply to every one in one go instead of one by one. also welcome backs make me feel like I have been gone and some how bring a certain amount of guilt ^^’’ but that might just be me.

I will probably go again tbh. its not that I dont enjoy chatting. but I mainly have to look out for my own mental health. there is a lot going on in my life and honestly silly chatting has been nice. but I also for context currently have every venting channel in any discord I am in muted and am only reading them when I got that space for it in my brain. its why I have been gone before I just do not have the mental space currently. I don’t mean it to sound like you can’t share or vent with me, but I do have my own mental limits when it comes to recurring issues. I do find it hard to return so thats why it takes me so long every time even if I am doing well. I am just making it a big stress point in my head when coming back making it take longer and longer that I am gone.

sorry that my return was so short.

hmmm I see now that you rather meant for online friendships to be unsustainable and eventually not worth the commitment of an irl friendship instead of it being disposable? I mean, to me disposable means meaningless after use and it rubbed me the wrong way to think that that would be your view of the people here in the NLR and outside that I don’t know of. Then again, I think that our way of interacting online are different. I don’t really engage that much online, sometimes answering someone or a comment and don’t really make friends online, but if I make a friend online I want to stay in contact because it’s worth the same to me as a real life friendship. I think I understand you now.

Heey brethren! I’m doing good. I have lot’s of free time now and am using that to make up some lost time and visit people I haven’t seen in a while. Good to hear from you again! Maybe you’ve seen that I was a little worried if everything was okay ^^; … Sorry. Good that you take your time for your family and yourself! Sucks tho that your new job is burning you out!

Not everyone likes progress and modernism, but the modernists who want to change the way we do things (such as replacing humans with AI, cash with digital payments, or physical ownership with digital streaming) will try to bring us down with them. Most people only care about convenience and cost, and the rest of us don’t have a choice anymore.

We all use the internet through malicious ISPs that don’t give a fuck about us. We all rely on Google, Microsoft, and Apple some way or another. Most of us probably use Discord, Twitter X, and Reddit because that’s what everyone else uses and we’re relying on them for outreach. How many people complain about all the shit YouTube has pulled over the years (Google+ logins, removing dislikes and comments, blocking ad blockers) yet they still use it anyway because there are no other video platforms with even a fraction of the content YouTube has? A lot. They can try to leave YT but always keep coming back. Or take Windows for example. Microsoft has pulled a lot of shit over the decades which left users complaining or making the switch to GNU/Linux, but most people cannot make the switch and must live with Windows and Microsoft’s fuckery. Maybe it’s because all the workplaces and schools use it, because their favorite apps and games don’t support GNU/Linux, or they don’t know how to install any GNU/Linux distro (not even the user-friendly ones like Ubuntu and Mint). GNU/Linux just isn’t accessible for most people and never will be. The point is big tech companies can get away with all their shit because the vast majority of people are forced to rely on them, thus we are all slaves to big tech.

You might not be addicted to the internet, but many people are (especially kids today who probably can’t even imagine life without it) and this problem’s only going to get worse overtime because it seems like everything nowadays requires an internet connection.

Internet friends come and go, lasting for about as long as you’re together on any website. Eventually we’ll all leave this site and move on to other online places and make new friends there. I don’t like seeing friends as disposable but that’s just the way it is.

What, that…. Gear grinding sounds in brian.

Hey wb^^

I agree with you, but knowing what I know from Star, on behalf of him, he doesn’t mean it in a bad way, there is a lot of ways to put it what he was thinking through but I think he meant it in the good possible ways what is like to have friends here and there.

Also, how are you, brethren! ^ w ^_\

I….uuuuh, capitalism?
smiles nervously

Wow! WTF! Were did you come from!?

What’s that supposed to mean?

Sorry that I’m being blunt here but writing off the people here like this who are willing to converse with you and support you sounds really ungrateful to me. Everyone in this thread are still real people with their own problems who despite that still want to communicate and support each other including you. Even when it can only be a small peptalk at most the intentions stay true.

I also don’t really see your point on blaming this on derpibooru or the current state of the internet around social media and such. I only use whatsapp for messaging and discord for online friends yet almost all of my current irl friends for whom I would lie on a grenade and vice versa are from the past 3 years. If you think making irl friends would make you better off than you can still do that today, but not while carrying the mindset of seeing your online friends as disposable glorified strangers
