DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ

Hello! This account is an ARCHIVE for the art I did when I was around 11-14.

I'm 24 now. A lot of the things I did and said are EXTREMELY entangled with the time period the internet was in at that age, and I apologize in advance for all of the many things I said on posts and comments and replies and everywhere I went that involved r*pe jokes and other unsavory things. I can promise I no longer talk like that anymore :') I spent a lot of time with others around my age and memes at the time were honestly just kinda Like That. Not totally an excuse, but I was a child and had no deep understanding of...well, anything, though I sure pretended.

I hid all my work from this account for a while out of shame, and I still am not proud of many aspects of myself from this time, of course, but I decided it's probably still fun for some folks around at the time to go back and see our many messages and interactions. I've also been made aware by several individuals as the years have passed that my work is a source of nostalgia for some, and I think that's super sweet so I'm going to unhide the things that I don't find totally unbearable.

Just please keep in mind I was a preteen/young teen on 2010's internet, and I was particularly the edgy kind who had overly-passionate beliefs about stupid things and otherwise had a LOT to learn. I still do, as I'm only human, but I can tell you with confidence I grew and changed in the ways that matter. The only things that didn't change are that I still pretty much mainly draw my (current) fursona and that I still love rain/overcast weather to a point where it's a personality trait, lmao.

Anyway, do keep that all in mind if you want to look around! My one fear was being conflated with this person now as an adult, but I'm sure a lot of you understand as well what it was like to be this age, especially if it was around the same time I was.

Thank you!

Now, with all of that taken to heart, if you would like to get back in touch or just stop by and say hello, come over to @RainyJackalope and I'll be happy to hear from you! (And I promise I will also not hold anything against you from that time, nor will I be the militant and annoying animal rights activist I tried to be from this period. I'm no longer edgy I just like sleeping and video games :'))
