Log inJust needed to write this hear because honestly I'm close to giving up... but this community has helped me so much and never done me wrong.
Recently, away from my furry account (what I call my 'personal' accounts for other fandoms/non-furry content), I have had nothing but toxic and negative experiences.
I've recieved abuse, hateful comments, death threats (toward me and my sister) and accusations that are false and entirely made up by people stalking my accounts, all starting from my personal preference in characters and personal ships... people clearly have nothing better to do.
The world and especially online is already such a miserable experience. I try my best to stay positive, ignore and block anything that I don't like or bring me joy. I report when I need to, but it continues across multiple platforms, from anonymous or alt accounts.
Along with artblock and burn out, it's killing my want to continue - but I will. Out of spite.
I'm not going to let them win and ruin my online career and my passion for art, but.... it's fucking hard some days...
I'm really struggling, with work and myself. I'm on medication, have constant body issues, mental health is shot (and I feel getting worse).
I already constantly chase my ass catching up on work and now I'm even more behind. Some days I can't even look at my laptop and I fight the urge to just delete everything.
Just wanted to vent and share some personal things...
The furry community (the ones who are always bad mouthed and abused and called heinous things) have NEVER let me down.
You have always been kind, compassionate, caring and helpful.
I've never had a bad experience with anyone.
(If you read all of this - thank you, you're a star... sorry it's a ramble..)
Thank you all for being so wonderful and welcoming, no matter what you're into, who you are, what you do - I don't know what I'd do without you. Commissions or otherwise, thank you for you support, always. ♡
After all the awful shit I've had to endure recently, this has always been my safe place.
It means the world to me.
Thank you ♡

I had no idea you were facing such problems. You seem really nice. Why in the world would people threaten yiu? I'm so sorry.
Hey there TheFreckleDen. As ye said, some people in this world literally have nothing better to do with their lives then spread their own misery or hate to other people. I don't know why or how it all works but somehow they get joy and happiness from ruining someone else's day or life or get the satisfaction from watching someone crack under relentless bullying whether it be physical, mental, or emotional bullying. Don't give them that satisfaction. I myself and a good best friend of mine whom I met on Wattpad have received plenty of backlash in the past from the fanfictions he writes and I edit and I myself have had to post direct messages to the community to let them know that they do not like a story, or the direction it's heading in, then simply do not continue reading it, move on and find different content that you do like or enjoy reading. Same logic should apply to art, videos, and so on and so forth. But after a while I was able to convince my dear friend and fanfic writer to ignore any negative comment and not even bother reading it. Embrace the appreciative and good comments out there as they are the ones that care and appreciate you for the work you do and who you are. There's always going to be haters no matter what and frankly, unfortunately there's not much we can do aside from ignoring them and reporting. But the moment you give up, is the moment you've given them everything they've been trying to accomplish and the satisfaction have ruining another great artist. It's the same with people that go after Vivziepop, TheTrashPanda, and so many others that are berated with hate and hurtful comments because they don't like what they're seeing. If ye ever need someone to talk to just to vent or have a friendly chat with, ye can always reach out to me on discord or Facebook Messenger and I'd be more than happy to be a friend that'll listen. Keep up the amazing work and don't try, but do your best to push on. But above all, always make sure ye do what ye see best for yerself. Yer health and well being are far more important than anything else out there.
I'm so sorry for you. Just tell yourself that these people are nothing but a bunch of clueless idiots with no talent or personality. And that they don’t even come close to holding a candle to you in any respect.
people are awful just for the sake of it. losers with nothing else to do except making others feel bad. you are incredible and a thousand times better than them. giving virtual hugs <3
