For the few people that cared about my TwentyPuff AU, I'm retiring it effective immediately.
It's already been mostly inactive (only 2–3 doodles for it in 2023; no one to blame but myself), so there's no point in me going back and forth between it being semi-active or inactive if I don't actively care to continue it anytime sooner or later.
Another factor as to why I gave up on it was its predominant design influence now leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth, the influencer of which (teacup) I have since cut all connection from, of my own free will.
Her very-controversial AkuBloss ship and, more recently, her shamelessly advertising her 18+ alt (you can guess what AU of hers is in that without me mentioning it), have simultaneously haunted my daily conscience long enough. NO MORE OF IT!!!
It's yet another one of those things I blame my ignorant teenage-self on for stumbling upon that rabbit-hole to begin with.
I'm in my twenties now. Things are gonna change for the better around here.
From here on out, it's pretty much gonna be how it already was for the past several months: drawing stuff for only the original PPG timeline.
I've been having a lot more fun drawing normal Powerpuff stuff anyway.
Hell, I've honestly surprised myself with my "Western Blossom" piece from this very year.
Hope I've explained enough, and I'll see y'all again whenever I can devote more time to art.

You had a run in with HER before? Me too on DA, and I had my reasons for blocking her given not only her very controversial & disturbing stuff but also she was rather bitter on my own profile and content when it came to reality and the facts. I wanted to give her a chance but she blew it.

BTW, are you returning to DeviantArt under a new name?

No, I'm not coming back to DeviantART. Ever.
Whoever that is, they're impersonating me.
If you pay attention to their comments (and their favorites), it's WAY out-of-character and they're lying to people about their legitimacy.
I hate to use this term, but it's another one of those logo-kids (they're more-often-than-not immature, sometimes violently-angry brats), and what's worse is them getting a hold of my identity and practically staining it viciously just by impersonation alone.
Report them if you can, but knowing DA's terrible management, it'll be a miracle if that actually works... and I'd have to hope they're not blood-thirsty for me in the event their jig is up.
