feel free to add me, follow me, or just stare at my bad posts from afar on those places

also if any of y'all still use traditional forums, i am also active on:

• bulbagarden
• super mario boards
• famiboards
• resetera
• autism forums
• nationstates

my username on all of those boards is Princess Viola except on nationstates where my main account is called 'Gandoor' and i have various other accounts but that is my primary account and also i sometimes change my username on mario boards based on what current brainrot i have (i use other forums too but those are the main ones)

I didn't end up using cohost much in the end. I was here for a while but found the place wasn't exactly for me. Yet this still feels immensely tragic to me. Cohost to me was a better, healthier successor to tumblr. It was a social site truly created for people and artists. That had their well beings in mind. That was more about creating a pleasant and worthwhile experience than shoring up their bottom line. Which... unfortunately, was too good for our capitalist world.

Every account that made this place home and every post they've made getting dusted away at the end of the year is just too sad. The entire stamping out of a community and their knowledge and art never feels good. Even though I couldn't quite get a grip here, and make this my full time community, I still felt like what was here was good and made the internet a better place. Consequently, it's going to be a worse place without it.

The thing I'm most scared about is I'm going to remember people and posts and things and experiences from here, but not their names, not all of them.

But I don't want to forget any of you.
