Unfortunate tidings I suppose. I'm alive and all that, I just haven't posted here in YEARS. Just wandered off to greener pastures and never wandered my way back. Anyway, what's unfortunate is what's got me to return here. I was content to leave my account up, all the old art here being a good, quick way to look at where I was way back when. But not after this past week. The shenanigans with the auto-opt-in AI art thing was enough for me to decide it was time to pack it in. I know they changed it, I know it wasn't actually AS bad as their poor communication made it sound, but it was still enough. All my old shit may be old, but it's still mine, and I don't want to have to worry about keeping tabs on whatever bs dA is doing when I'm not even active here anymore. And I won't have to worry about what they're up to with the images I've posted, if there aren't any left. So alas, if some how, some way, you're a person reading this who laments the loss of all my things here, thanks for reading
