So I had my characters on lock down completely because people I fell out with like to stalk and steal from people they... well, fall out with. I know it'll never stop. I was a part of that friend group and all they like to do is steal, trash talk and stalk people. A handful of others I'm friends with also had a "falling out" (which was more of us being kicked out) and are subject to the same treatment. Thing is, I don't want to hide literally all my characters and just keep them hidden. I like to share my ideas and my characters as it brings me a lot of happiness. I realize that if I hide my characters they "win", and like many others I'd be bullied into silence and chased off like they want.

In an attempt to try and get past the trauma I have been left with, I am opening up most of my folders again. I'm keeping my Zelda OCs locked down as well as any original story content which are my "Rise of Darkness" and "Transcendence" folders. Zelda OCs may be unlocked at a later date but, given how they like to steal design, story and lore beats from other Zelda artists, I'm unwilling to feed them. They're as bad as AI scrapers.

Oh, and before I forget! My friend is having a 15% off sale on her adopts! Please give Gracu's adoptables a look! If you don't buy anything, maybe donate to her Ko-Fi? She needs a bit of help right now and it'd be awesome to see her get that help. ♥ https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1807521.15-until-aprill-1st-sale
