In regards to the Jthm fandom: if you’ve been following me for a long time and remember my art/work for this shit, I’m genuinely sorry because I don’t want to associate myself with this art anymore. This has been weighing on my mind for a while, back when I started getting into Jthm again, I met an uncomfortable amount of criticism/harassment for the things I draw. During this time I was in a really bad place mentally and was in a deep manic state while suffering intense bouts of psychosis, everything felt like an attack. I was constantly paranoid.
Looking back at my old art and rants I realize how much I pushed people away and outwardly attacked people for having honest opinions about things they care about. I suppose I felt like I needed to constantly state my mind every chance I got and it makes me sick thinking about the friends I’ve lost due to being just a general dick-head.
I started making this art because Jthm is important to me and I just wanted to have fun with these weird little characters, but it doesn’t really feel the same anymore. I can’t take back all the shit I spammed during this weird time in my life but I don’t want to leave it without addressing the way it makes me feel when I stumble upon it.
Anyways, if you still follow me despite my constant ranting back then, thanks. It’s not easy learning to grow from your mistakes, especially when you’re an angry person. Everyday is another struggle.
I’m trying to figure a lot of things out about myself, Jthm will always be a part of my life and this art was a small piece of it, but it’s one I reject fully. I still think making vent art is important, but I think who you direct it at matters even more.
