I feel bad about making this announcement, but the whole point of it is that I shouldn't. I've been part of TFCRP for around six months now, and don't get me wrong, it's been great. But there's this thing. It's gotten super confusing, diminishing, and overall really, really stressfull. I just need a break. Part of the reason is all the litters. All these great designs, and I have the motivation to apply-- and then someone who I /know/ will win will apply, and I know my writing skills can't match theirs, and it just really brings me down. I try my hardest, but I can't win a single thing, and it's honestly driving me nuts. I can also say that whenever I try to bring a more optimistic approach to things and branch out to other people, I usually get shut down. It really hurts how only some people will accept me, and then after we know eachother, two seconds later they move on to someone who they apparently know better. I've been feeling pretty left out in TFCRP. It's really unfortunate how these people who know they are going to win these events, have won events, but are literally either going to forget or kill off a character they already won, and won't give anyone else a chance. I'm not pointing out names, but it's really hurtful. Nobody else can win a kit, just because they're not aesthetic enough or their writing isn't good enough, because that's what I've seen people choose their kits on. And it's just plain out stupid. Writing doesn't show everything, and sometimes it feels no matter how much effort I put in, the popular kids get chosen. I see myself being way more active then others, more inclusive, more happy, and yet everyone wants to be friends with them. It's not fair. It just isn't. To everyone who applied for feathers & flowers, results won't be delayed. They'll be out same date, same time. And I'm not pointing out names, so don't come here saying "Oh, it was me" or "You can't blame me!" Because in reality, this happens a LOT. So nobody probably knows who I'm talking about. But, I'm tired. I've done so many applications, waited so long, worked so hard, and for what? Nothing. But here are the people, the people who really, really included me. There are more, but here's who stand out: @Telsemm10 Tiger, you've been so kind to me since I joined. You've be really estatic about everything, helped me through things and honestly matched my personality so well. Thanks for always welcoming me, letting our charaters bond and being so smooth and not so uptight about everything <333 @liltingleaves Olive, after I met Tiger, it really touched me how you took the time to reach out so our characters could roleplay, and had interest in becoming friends. I really love how kind and enthusiastic you were about everything-- so thank you <33 @-Female-Dream-Sans- Mare, I mean, come on. You were literally the first (I think) person I roleplayed with. Wingedtriumph and Aspenfaith are such cute siblings omg-- but, you've always been there for me and let me talk to you, as well as reach out a lot to roleplay, which is really awesome! Ily mare <33 These are three people. Three. People. A tiny fraction of the TFCRP community, and yet, the three people who made a huge difference in my time here. And guys-- THAT'S what TFCRP is about. Not the stupid aesthetic or writing style, the person's qualities. Stop giving the same people chances over and over again. I'm actually so, so sick of it, and not just with myself. Give someone else a chance, because it's not worth hurting someone over and over again to give someone else a chance they've already got. Take @---Aura--- for example. She had to leave scratch, and I feel so awful for her-- and part of it was TFCRP. Like, come on guys. It's meant to be for fun. TFCRP is about the people's qualities. Not their writing. Keep that in mind. Thanks to those three. See ya'll. And no negative comments. - ari
