You're all amazing and so talented, and I'm so happy that people were appreciating me and my art as much and as long as you have. I honestly don't know what I did to deserve such a following and such awesome friends out of here.

Since people might start gossiping about it, my cause of leaving is to get away from drama, the 3Ds shutoff deadline of April, and that I just feel like I've outgrown it. I've seen so much drama, and had my share, that it's been stressing me out behind the curtains. Every day it feels like my feed is cluttered with he/they/she said this or did this or supported wrong thing that it's hard to filter, and a lot of it from artists I like or want to support. I'm sure a lot of you know how draining it is. How damaging it can be. And I've had enough. It's an art app on a Switch, a phone, a computer, to draw and talk about art, not for stirring the pot and ruining people's mental health. We've all forgotten that.

To add on it, I don't like the constant anxiety on here that if I say the wrong thing, or draw the wrong thing, it's gonna get pulled out of context. So many people like to do this and it's not only frustrating but can seriously harm someone, and they need to grow up as well. We all need to accept our mistakes and move on instead of doxing and hounding somebody. It doesn't get anywhere but pain and depression. Plus there ARE little kids on here despite the warnings, and a majority are impressionable. This isn't okay. This isn't right. Am I saying to contain yourself? No. Be expressive. Draw. Color. But keep in mind there's a lot of children and mentally-damaged people on here, and not just you at the end of the day. You don't know who's on the other side of the screen.

Am I gonna delete my account, or post, or talk? I'll still be checking in. How often, I don't yet know. Posting will be on the Switch. And no, my account is staying up. I may be online more in summer, when a lot of my friends are out of school and come back, but for now I'll leave that to tomorrow.

I really hope you guys can enjoy Colors, and learn and improve as well as make friends and have fun like I did. And when it's time to go, I hope you look back on times that were good and silly instead of times you were down and upset. Just remember that you're beautiful in your own way, and let nobody take that away from you or make you think different.

Goodbye Colors. It's been fun, and it's been amazing interacting with most of you.
Signing off for now, Inky, AKA CrystallizedDusk, AKA Heather.

i didnt realize it was time already.

I'll really miss you Dusk. i know we'll still have discord but honestly im barely on it at home. You've been a amazing person to everyone.

I hope you do well on your journey.
:salute: (there should be a salute emoji)

p.s: i'll try to be nicer to failure for you /^_^/

I'll definitely miss you when you're gone but I'll 100% stay in contact throught wattpad and whatnot and honestly I agree with you. Colours is stressful and drama-filled so I reckon I'll leave soon as well.

I had a nice time talking to you on here and I'm glad we became friends :)

stay safe and healthy <3/p

@angelic_mansion That's okay! And thank you Spence... I had it set on at least the 27th, but I really felt like it should be today. It's nothing currently with the community, I really just don't feel like I'd have much on here anymore. It was fun once, and now it just feels like burnout central every time I look at my gallery.

And give him lots of doughnuts!!

@Duracell I've been in a lot of bad blood, and I really don't want that to happen to you. I'm glad we have Wattpad, especially of you leave, but I'm really gonna miss you. I need to actually reach out more, I'm so sorry I haven't Dura. I freely admit I've been a bad friend on that aspect ^^"

@TheRealYTStarMoon Man, of everyone I thought, I didn't think you'd say goodbye back, especially like everything you've said... thank you so much Star. You're an amazing friend and person, and really funny, and it's gonna take me like 50 years to get into how cool your own art is. It's been fun being your platonic wife, and joking around with you (not to mention confusing the h-l out of Sky) when you were online.. all I can say is I really hope we do meet again. You have so much potential and I hope you can do whatever you've been wanting to.

@CrystallizedDusk
We definitely do! And don't worry you haven't been a bad friend at all, you've been (and still are) one of the best I've ever had. It's mostly me just forgetting about colours or forgetting to comment being a reason I haven't reached out :') but I definitely will more in future

i may have not interacted with you but ive seen your art and it always made my day and its sad you have to leave but there was always going to be a point where you leave so please have fun and stay safe- oh and stay hydraited-(i cant speel -____-)

goodbye..

@CrystallizedDusk *huggzies* bye Duskie... I'll see you on insta soon enough...! Love you sm ♡♥♡♥♡♥♥♥♡♡/p

Ik we didn't talk that often, but heck I'll certainly miss you a whole lot <3/p
I wish you the very best in life. Thank you for being such a good friend, I hope someday we can chat again :')

@-Howl- Thanks Zels... I really don't wanna leave you, but let's be honest, it's about time I left. You're always gonna be one of my besties... rest assured :heart_decoration:

@Heroine-of-Winds I really hope we do too! You're such a chill and funny person - I feel bad for not reaching out! >:^

I'll still drop by and such, so it's not the end. Never fear.

@TheAllMightyShortest Hey, it's okay! It's sweet enough knowing you noticed me! I'll maybe upload again over summer when everyone's back, but once in a while, so really not for good. Please take care of yourself! ^^
