may delete your comment (Possible block). I hope I don’t come across as rude, I just feel like I need to put up some boundaries. If these make you upset you can unfollow me if you like and that I understand. There are other things I like to point out that I have come across but going to try to shorten it up, if possible
Pls dont tag me in random nonsense posts that have nothing to do with me / weddings ( Idk why I get invited to them but it just makes me feel uncomfortable. I got tagged into THREE WHY ARE Y'ALL GETTING MARRIED AREN'T YOU CHILDREN ?! AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THAT PERSON EVEN IS !! PLS B CAREFUL WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO ON THE INTERNET !! ) / wanting more likes and follows posts (and to comment them in general ^^* ) / inappropriate posts (I’ll just report them obv ) / ofc drama posts

I want to keep my gallery family friendly since I notice a lot of ppl and other younger audiences follow me. So please no commenting anything controversial, mean, harassing, and anything that is just inappropriate PLS

I don’t like putting anything personal abt myself. I just want to post art and talk about art/interests with other artists. To keep my real life and my art life separate. But I've seen that ppl think and assume that I am a child so I wanted to let ppl know that I am 18+ !! There is only one friend that knows my age here and I’ll only tell if I am close enough friends with them outside of colors and that I feel comfortable with.

Please do not attack my beliefs as a christian. You can ask me questions abt christianity and questions abt my faith but please be respectful. Ppl have been respectful to me abt my faith on here so I rlly appreciate it sm ! ^ ^

I’ve had some suspicion abt certain ppl that tried talking to me that I have thought were the same person. There are ppl that randomly disappeared and new users show up out of nowhere and hav spoken to me that seemed to b exactly like some ppl/friends I once knew, so yall PLS B CAREFUL *0*

Another important and last thing, I don’t mind suggestions but if you see on my bio that I am not taking any requests THEN I WON'T BE TAKING ANY MORE REQUESTS. If someone asks me to draw them a painting of something or asks me to join their dtiys then I just won’t reply anymore. I can't keep up with them and I don’t want to repeat myself anymore lolol I try to draw for ppl as much as I can but sometimes it can b very overwhelming for me and I've come to the realization that I cannot please everybody.:’)

I know this is a lot but ty for listening. I apologize if anything seemed to come across as rude or offensive. I just feel like this is for the best for my mental health and for others. I appreciate all the support and all the comments that you guys have given to me ! You are all the BEST !!;DD

well said Pineapple :clap:
also your 18 plus?!? woah never woud've guessed :)

this seems good to me

ok! :thumbsup:

I COMPLETELY agree, I hate drama sm, and I never wanted to get involved, i just want to be here for the art. but I knew if I didn't confront the situation that was attacking me personally head-on, I knew they would've never left me alone. which was a huge line that they crossed, so i stood my ground. and that was hopefully the only time that i had to get involved in such things. but im completely here with you, art should be an escape, not a stress. :heart:

I 100% agree with you and i respect you and your choices and I wish people would stop

1000% AGREED. This is something thats been happening for the longest time, and I've been so sick of colors for the last couple of years because of it. It's honestly such a turn off going into something for supportive feedback or amazing art and being met with some people fighting like cats over a minor issue for attention; and I've done that here too, regrettably. I never spoke about this unless discretely and selectively because starting drama is really the OPPOSITE effect I want. Thanks bro :)

@Flowerss Tyy Flowers !! Yeah prob bc I come across a bit childish or younger for my age ig xDD

@alrightymoose Ik why you had to do it, srry if it seemed like I was directing it towards you. You didnt start it and you wanted to make everything clear and set up your own bounderies, which I highly respect ! I've been having this feeling for a long time abt the colors community and after seeing some posts today, I felt like I rlly needed to address it and put up some bounderies too. ( cont. )

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm still new to the social atmosphere of Colors! online. I was surprised at first when I saw my first few vents/rants, but I understood the reason behind them. It's also nice yet, also conflicting, seeing people get involved in drama n others who complain about those who do and don't get involved. I understand both sides. And you don't have to join in if you don't feel you need/want to do so. Boundaries are always important. Though, it does seem like it's been happening-

@alrightymoose I hope you have time to heal and that everything gets better for you !! I agree, art has always been a great escape for me and I'm sure to many others too ! ^^
Ty everyone for understanding and being so supportive !! :pray: :heartpulse:

I should NOT be talking- but I totally get you, and I'm SO glad you're spreading awareness..!

Though, it does seem like it's been happening a lot lately, worryingly enough. :thinking:
Like, twitter levels of weekly drama. . . :dizzy_face:
I'll only personally vent if I feel like It'll help me feel better getting a weight off my chest.
I've thought of making rant pictures to have discussions n things with people, but I haven't really made any yet. They're just thoughts so far n I won't push people2 write what they think abt those topics either as they're merely just discussion pieces.

Though, Ig my first vent is sorta like that, but the same rules still apply. If you don't want to say anything, that's fine.

i completely agree with you!
there are some drama/marriage art posted on here and i always get tagged in. i find this very frustrating because idrc about those things and im not Interested in any drama. i personally think you are an amazing artist and you have a lot of followers so they may tag you in these type of drawings. ty for reading.

and- i mean- i dont think that online dating is safe.
you dont know if behind a screen there is some 8 yr old kid or An old man/woman that could start asking some creepy questions.
marriage is OVER. for me a marriage is a quantity of love that You Cant make on a screen by just liking their art-.
i appreciate your time spending on cl to make those beautiful drawings. :heartbeat:
stay safe!

People shouldnt even have to point this out which makes it really dissappointing. People need to learn and respect other peoples beliefs. Ive always believed in People can be who they wanna be, wear what they wanna wear, believe in what they wanna believe in, love who they wanna love and i will still accept them and everyone else should too, people are abslutely insane sometimes with how rude they can be about these topics. also it even annoys me too how much requests i see you and other popular artists get DAILY which i find really annoying. I HATE THE DRAMA ON HERE TOO these peopole causing the drama are like 9 i swear :sob: Also little kids or weirdos on here please dont try to dig deep into finding peoples age (thought i should bring this up) dont constantly ask for personal info its rude and makes lots of people uncomfortable. i brought it up since you were talking about age, felt like it had to be said x0

also for the wierdos or privacy invaders dont try to interigate random friends of pineapple trying to see who knows her age because i know a lot of people do that and i find it rediculous.
Last thing i wanna say bestie you OLD (that was a joke i swear it :sob: ) :older_woman:

that was a LOT of errors im sorry its past midnight and i cant spell the most simple words ever ( i also dont have my glasses on :sob: )

@PineappleChan_ thank you Pineapplee :heart: and yeah, im doing much better after making that statement, and like I said, drama is an absolute no-go for me, but i made that post for my safety. and i'll be deleting it later when the situation cools down. but now i can focus on what im here to do ;D :sparkling_heart:

i didn't know you were over 18! drama stinks and i'm still hoping that it would end...

@PineappleChan_

I totally understand that you just need to set boundries it doesn't come across as rude at all don't worry! Also I'm really sorry if I confused you I have changed my user name before and I don't think I ever told you :(
I have been commenting on your art ever since I first joined colors, I used to be @/lilkittykat, then @/Pastel_Nyan_Nyan, @/LavenderMocha, and know I'm @-softberri-milki- . I'm really sorry I didn't tell you :(

Pineapple, I just wanna say GOOD JOB for setting your bounderies. You're not being rude at all dw, and I completely agree with what you're saying. :) :thumbsup:

Thank you for addressing this. ^^ ♥

@ThatChurro I absolutely agree with you !! Though, if it’s something that is completely against God and His biblical principles then I can not support their decisions. Even if I don't, I still love and really care abt them as a person and I wish the best for them. I understand that not everyone believes and I understand and respect that. I do encourage however that you and others can get to know Christ and know more abt his whole heart. He loves you sm and cares for you so deeply more than you can ever comprehend.
And yes, I’m so glad you pointed that out ! I had ppl ask me too and abt other personal stuff so unless I feel comfortable around you, I won’t say anything. And WHO YOU CALLIN OLD >:(( XDD

@-softberri-milki- Oh you are completely fine !! ^ ^ You didn’t do anything wrong at all, you can change your users. I am mainly talking abt the ppl that make extra accounts that would act like they are new and act like a totally diff person to try to deceive ppl. You are all good Milki !<3

@Xxp0yo_p0yoxX Thank you for being so understanding Poyo !!<33 Seeing this and other comments have made me feel a lot better ^ ^

@GioGioGio I legit wish I could pin your comment XDD This is why I cannot completely trust everyone on the internet bc you don’t know who that person could b or know their real intentions. I’m not saying I am paranoid abt everyone but I do encourage people to keep in mind to b cautious and TO NOT share anything abt your personal info. 100% agree with this, tysm for liking my art and for your comment ! Pls stay safe too and have fun drawing !:)

Thank you all for the comments, for being really understanding and for sharing your thoughts ! ^ ^

@PineappleChan_ i hope you are all better i will allways follow you k
hope you feel better :smile_cat:

:pineapple: >ω< :pineapple:

@PineappleChan_
i love you for this
really it's doesn't come off as rude, i'm really glad you said this!!
i hope everyone follows the rules
also it's good to hear other artists have a problem with being tagged in- uh... questionable posts.... -^w^'- i love my followers, but, really guys? REALLY

like i said, i love you made this post ♡♡♡

have a blessed daaay!!

@MaggieSue327 Aww ty Maggie !! I rlly appreciate it lots and im glad I didn't come across as rude ^ ^ You as well !! :heartpulse:

@_Your-Emo-Angel_ Tysm !!<3 I don't think you hav but im glad that you at least know the person, that makes me feel a lot better abt it XDD

I'm so sorry that you've been dealing with things like this. I agree, boundaries are so vital, and I've learned the hard way that you just can't please everyone and that's okay. So terrible that your faith has been attacked. I know how that feels. Unless they are genuinely curious, you should pay them no mind. These are definitely topics that needed to be discussed. I agree it's so important to be aware of who you are speaking with online. So many dangerous and deceitful people out here.

I ran out of space, but I wanted to thank you for speaking about these issues. Very informative for others, and will provide you with more peace. Stay strong, Piney! <33

@PineappleChan_ well said pineapple! :clap: hope everyone will follow the rules! :heart:

@_Your-Emo-Angel_ Yeah that's good ! All I want for you is to stay safe xD :heartpulse:

@ColorMeInspired I rlly appreciate that :heartpulse: And I am so srry to hear that your faith has been attacked too. It rlly breaks my heart but I know also that ppl do not know Jesus or understand Him. Its not rlly them attacking directly at you per say but its mainly towards Christ and bc of convection. It's like that verse where Jesus says in John 15:18, ( cont. )

@ColorMeInspired "If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." It goes more in depth abt this in John chapter 15 but thank you for your word of advice. And I do understand that I cannot please everybody too despite me wanting to b rlly close and friends w/ everybody. You stay strong too Brittany !! God's got you !!<33 :)

@AmberTeddy27_ Thank you Amber !! :revolving_hearts: :smiling_face_with_hearts:

@PineappleChan_ yw! :D :heart:

@PineappleChan_ You're right, there are so many who "know not what they do," as Jesus says. It can be so hard at times because there are those who just want to start a fight. Hopefully they will turn from their ways and turn to truth. All we can do is be gracious and give them truth, and if they continue to be hostile we'll have to just leave them be. That's so true John 15:18 is a great verse. Jesus is perfect, and yet the people still found a way to be offended by him and hated him. (cont.)

@PineappleChan_ It just shows that there's a heart issue. Yeah, I'm the same way, I always have the desire to please everyone and get along with everyone, but I've discovered that it's just like chasing the wind. It is impossible and will cause a load of stress worrying and compromising what's right for other people's approval, which is so not worth it. Thank you so much for the encouragement, Piney!!! ^u^ God bless you, sister!! :heart:

I COMPLETELY agree!! You're not coming across rude at all!! I don't think people should be 1) making wedding posts on a drawing app, and 2) tagging people that don't care abt things like that lolol. Also, it's horrible if people are attacking you for being a Christian. I might disagree w/ some things that are against Christianity, but I'll still love them as much as I would a Christian. :two_hearts: It sucks that you have to point all of this out. I'm glad you did tho :revolving_hearts:

@ColorMeInspired I absolutely agree ! All we can do is to plant the seed, let God take care of the rest, and to also pray for them. Which I also know that I can't b a servant of Christ if I'm also striving to please ppl. Even if I did, it'll b impossible to anyways like you hav said. Tysm for your word of advice ! I like having these discussions w/ another christian that I can relate to and also talk abt these topics with. Feel free if you ever want to talk just abt anything w/ me ( cont. )

@ColorMeInspired and I'll do my best to help out whatever I can and to also pray. God bless you too sister :cross: :blossom: :two_hearts:

@Sissi_Crossing Absolutely and ty Sissi ! ^ ^ We are all called to love bc Christ first loved us. He loves all despite our background and if we are christian or not. We don't have to like or simply agree what ppl do but we can still show kindness and to still love them as a person :heartpulse:

@PineappleChan_ Exactly!! :heartpulse: :heartpulse: :heartpulse:

@PineappleChan_ Absolutely, we should pray for them also. You're so welcome! Me too! I love having these type of conversations with a like-minded christian. Very encouraging and I feel like I'm not alone on this walk. That's so sweet of you!! ^u^ Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!! I'm so glad we met! You've been a great friend!! <33

@ColorMeInspired Awww I feel the same way too, I'm so glad we had crossed paths !! :'D I thank you for your encouragment also and for being such a wonderful friend !!<33

@PineappleChan_ Aww you're so welcome!!! :heart: :heart:

I hope nobody has actually targeted you for your beliefs , thats just messed up . Everyones entitled to there own beliefs and religion , targeting others and trying to belittle them is horrible . You do you girlie, don't let anyone try to sway your faith , if they start to really annoy you just tell me I'll handle them . :angry:
I don't think I've seen anyone on Colors get as many requests as you do , I was wondering when you'd say something lol . I tend to do them If I want to but I try not to respond to them regardless so I don't get anyone's hopes up . I think it works well that way , and then you'll actually have time to draw what you want to draw and self indulge a lil bit ^-^

@SaltineCracker Yes for sure ! I do encourage ppl to know abt God and abt His love, to hav an open mind abt christianity. In the end of the day , everyone is entitled to their own beliefs which I do understand and also respect. I rlly appreciate it a lot Justine , you have always been beyond so sweet to me and to others. It makes me feel happy that I am not alone in this , tysm girlie ^u^ <33
I think the reason why I get alot of requests is bc I try to accept them all. At least I used to but now I get a bit overwhelmed with it but that's totes my fault ngl xDD That's what I will prob end up doing bc I do feel a bit guilty abt the ones I said that I want to do in the future but didn't , bc I just never got around to it :')

Absolutely agree , I feel like a lot of the time preconceived notions can sway people from wanting to become more well versed with things . Like even if you don't agree with all things or most things a group believes in its still good to learn more about said group . I feel like a lot of people live off a " if you aren't right you're wrong " mentality but actually learning more about the thing you're opposing can lead to a more transparent view and better understanding .

AWW -^u^- Well I care a lot about you bestie , if you ever need help with anything Im here for you :two_hearts:

Yeahh , I thought you were crazy for that request post xD ... 10 is a lot , especially with the amount of time and effort you put into your work like dang . That and you can't always guarantee that you'll have the motivation to draw certain things .
I get the feeling , but don't let it get to ya too much . I can assure you that people arent keeping tabs on you ( Atleast they shouldn't , I mean its kinda scummy if somebody is :\ ) You should only do them of your own volition , don't feel pressured , I know you want to make people happy but that should not come at the cost of your well being . Arts suppose to destress and be fun , it shouldn't be amplifying the stress. Blah sorry if I'm babbling , I just don't wanna see you overextend yourself . If you don't have the motivation for the requests that you've accepted thats fine . Motivation comes and it goes , do things on your own time and not on some deadline driven by urgency.

@SaltineCracker I couldn't agree more. It's def good to b open minded. Even if some groups don't exactly see eye to eye on things, it's important to be understanding and also b considerate abt their views.
Awww I care a lot abt you too, and I am also here same for you !<33 T0T Whatever you want to talk abt or have someone here to listen, im ya gal !! xp
Okay OKAY HEAR ME OUT. XDD Whenever I first joined CL, I normally would do requests anyways bc most of the time I honestly wouldn't know what to draw;D But Maybe I shouldn't had picked ten requests at once lol
And yes, drawing is supposed to be fun and I did enjoy making those paintings but I did feel a bit more rushed if that makes sense ? Bc I rlly didn't want ppl to b waiting that long so I overwhelmed my own self. And yes, motivation is not always a guarantee, I had a bit of art block for awhile so I def learned from that mistake thats for sure -w- And I rlly do appreciate you saying that and for you looking after me. I'll do my best to not overdrive myself and just take things one step at a time;DD

No worries at all, I don't mind it ! I rlly enjoy our convos and I am prob the one bambling the most xp

I typed this all from my laptop, there is just NO WAY I could type all of this on my switch 0-o

@PineappleChan_ srry ): is there smth i can do to make you better?

wow
