Ok but, curious to see...

Does anyone know of this horse?

So.... I left HARPG because I didn't like the person it made me, I didn't like the community and how toxic people became. Good people turned sour and toxic, straight out mean and it became all about the money. I becabe this person too, I'm not an asshole and I'm not toxic, I am the person who tend to try to involve everyone, fun, loving and generally happy. I wasn't. So I left, took a long break, it's been a couple of years but there has not been without missing the art and the people who did stay true to themselves and still took care of people. I decided to return after debating this for the longest time, generally speaking, since I left. But with a promise to stay true to who I am, not let the toxicity get to me. I'm older, wiser and with less time for bullshit. Between a fulltime job, my own trainwreck of a horse (yes, this one finally bought herself a horse of her own and he has PTSD, anxiety and lots of other issues) there isn't much time left for other things. I have turned to gaming, made a new best friend who is also an artist and the best person I have met.

This time around I have decided on a few things.

1. Don't become sour if people "copy" my designs, it means they like them and I should be happy.

2. Don't let money be a drive. This time I won't do points, sales, etc. I have concidered to let horsereality be my main place for my horses and just draw those but I have not decided upon that yet. We will see, it might be fun.

3. I probably will just "keep to myself". I'm here for the art and therefor I will try to limit my active horses. OF COURSE, that being said, I don't mind getting into your stories, doing RP etc, I just wont do custom breeds, horses etc. Nor will I hold my own competitions (holy shit it makes people go beserk).

4. I have stopped tracing, yes I used to I refused to speak up about it because the community was really snarky and rude about it. But see where it got me, I can now do freehand drawings because I fucking studied by tracing. If you are a rude **** about tracing, feel free to stop watching me.

5. I will be more open about what I think, if I think someone is being rude I will speak up about it. If I see someone being bullied, I WILL SPEAK UP ABOUT IT. I am done taking shit and I am done seeing people take shit. This being said, I won't turn toxic, but I will also not stand toxic people. When I left this community things needed a change and I doubt it has happen, but I will make sure to be a part of that change.

6. I might do Tiktoks, because let's face it, it's fun and interesting imo. We will see, it will be artrelated and off my usual account. My usual account is DeerTrash for those who are interested in my not so interesting shenenigans with my horse (and sometimes my cats)

The main part is, I want to have fun. Not sit here and hate on people like I did the first time around. I will still do breedingpartners, rp partners etc. I will still do the HARPG-intended part, I will just stay away from sales, moneymaking etc. Therefor I will NOT take commisions, do designs or sell my horses for points/money.
