This year actually wasn't awful for me. This was mostly because I finally joined the furry community after quietly watching it and being interested for a few years prior.
It really did suck to see artists who you silently praised for years to be assholes when you finally interacted with them. It also sucked to get caught up in useless drama that distracts you from your goal and damages your reputation. One thing for sure is that it's not as easy to be a furry artist as I thought.
At least this year has made me significantly more smarter, and now I know what not to do. Heres to hoping 2021 will be a more stable year and I grow more as an artist/person.

Thanks for the support, and I'm glad you thought the year was ok also! But DeviantArt.... yeah, you need to be very careful about that website.

no problemo! yeah deviantart is a dangerous place full of drama and fighting, i never realised that until i experienced alotta bullying on there.. :< can you believe that they see blocking as "starting drama"? like, i only block for the opposite reason: to end drama.
yeah there was alot of block evading too :< i was just trying to get away from it all and things got worse when i did self defense.. D: honestly i don't get why people have to be so jealous all the time.. they even took the hate too far and hacked me, which was very scary.. 0-0;
and y'know after i left, i thought it was all over and that i could finally be in peace, but noooo someone had to steal my ocs along with my art >.<; i was like really scared and frozen in fear, like after i told my friends until i became completely frozen and speechless. i got really scared cos these characters mean alot to me, and it hurts to know that someone is trying to take them away from me ;^; kinda like kidnapping your children in a way.. but i'm really thankful for my friends for helping me out, it means alot QwQ they chased away that darn thief, and were never seen again.
i now watermark my works for that reason. i like to be sneaky when i add em, so they're almost hiding but still readable. also btw when i deleted my deviantart, all my worries just washed away completely, knowing that i wont have anything to do with that site anymore was such a relief.. ÚwÙ
also uh.. sorry for my sudden vent just there! it's just i'm kinda scarred and it's a bit hard to get over my past sometimes.. :< i hope that's okay! sorry if i was rude or anything, i don't mean to be :c hope you can understand <:3

i know i'm late on saying this but welcome to the fandom and i hope you enjoy your time here ^w^ remember not to let haters put you off something you love (that includes being a furry) because interests are important and good to have! :D
2020 really wasn't that bad to me either, i finally moved out and finished making my fursuit that year, which i'm really happy about :3 though the virus definitely bummed down the year a bit, making it hard to go to places :< but as long as you have lots of indoor hobbies like me, you wont be bored ^w^
i'm sorry the people you admired turned out to be jerks :< in a way i kinda feel your pain about the unnecessary drama and losing good rep.. 2018 was actually a bad year for me as i was bullied, manipulated, and betrayed lots on this nightmare of a site called deviantart. that year, i migrated to weasyl and i was very nervous when i first joined but i later on felt welcomed due to the nice community ^-^ honestly? i don't regret the migration one bit, and it was the best choice i ever made cos i made alotta friends on here ^w^ so much better than deviantart, that's full of dramaqueens fighting and having tantrums 24/7.
i'm hoping 2021 will be good to us too, it sounds like it's gonna be another year of the corona virus but eh, i don't mind, as long as lockdown doesn't last, especially all summer.. i do love summer, it's my fave season ever :3
