A post on friendship and ponies.

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 26, 2012, 7:16 AM

I've obviously not posted anything in a long while. Honestly, I won't be posting anything new here from now on. I just have a very sour taste in my mouth from a handful of individuals in the community, and don't feel like sharing anything I've spent time making with people who could give a shit less.

I have made many friends through ponies, as well as gaining the love of my life, during a time where I needed someone the most. I value those friendships, and continue to be active on Twitter, and other places, with all of them. I definitely wouldn't trade every laugh and incredible moments spent with all the Bronies I've had the pleasure of knowing. I have no intentions of leaving the community, except for here on DA. For all the people who have enriched my life, there have been a few who have betrayed my trust and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Probably the worst, and biggest reason I have been hesitant to post anything on here, is the first pony friend I made. We started chatting after they won my first plush I made, and formed quite a bond. At least that's what I thought. It was later brought to my attention by someone else, that this person was spreading derogatory lies about me, insulted my work, and mocked me even being a plush maker in the first place. It was incredibly hurtful, and I cut off all contact with the person. I refuse to have such bullshit in my life, and I'm saddened people like this exist in the community, not just the pony community, but others as well.

I know not everyone is going to like everyone. I'm sure I annoy the shit out of people, which is fine, not everyone is going to get along. At least have the decency to keep it to yourself. I'm not completely innocent on that either. In the past, I've vented about people and have said negative things, but I took the steps to cut that out of my life. It does more harm than good, and benefits no one in the long run.

So, all in all, I will not be posting any art here anymore. It's just not worth the grief from the handful of people who I don't chose to associate with. I'll still be favoriting things, and commenting here and there. You can feel free to send me notes, or follow me on twitter, but I just won't be active here.

Once again, thank you to all of the bronies, furries, and misfits who make my days awesome! I love all of you and hope to meet every single one of you in person some day! Thanks to my amazing boyfriend, who has been more to me than anyone ever has before. And lastly, thanks to those of you who still watch me on here, and have supported me through everything. I'm sorry I barely posted anything, and have slipped off the face of the earth. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing the slight bit of interest in any of the stuff I've put on here. There are so many amazing artists and people here, and I hope you all keep making things for me to favorite and squee over!

Farewell,
Kateasaur

Oh dear, I'm sorry that I've been so preoccupied and away from the internet recently, and that it's taken me as long as it has to respond to this journal. But nevertheless, I am very sorry to hear this dear, even though I can understand your reasoning and where you're coming from of course. :( It's no wonder that you feel the way that you do after experiencing what you have, and certainly I hope I've never given you any reason to doubt my interest or sincerity in our friendship or my dealings with you, since I assure you that I've always valued you and the works that you've chosen to share with us very much. If nothing else you are always entirely welcome on my blog, should you ever be inclined to stop by, but no matter what I of course wish you the best, and hope that we may still have the ability to meet at a future Bronycon or somesuch, someday!

Take care of yourself, and the best of luck to you! :heart: :hug:

I am very sorry to hear this. I was enthralled by your singing Fluttershy. It's what drew me to your page in the first place. And these people have the lack of a heart to criticize your plushies? That is no way to treat someone. Especially with as talented as you are in plush making and repainting.

Well, this is quite disheartening news. I'm very sorry to hear it, but then I would much rather you be happy and free of stress than maintaining something that causes you discomfort like this. I quite enjoyed all of the pieces that you shared with us all, and I thank you for those and for being a friendly source of cheer in all of the interactions I had the pleasure of sharing with you.

Please take care of yourself and be happy.
