Wow, it's been a while

Sometimes I think about how bizarre it is/was, going from this well-known popular person on DA to a relative nobody on Tumblr (And DA). First my Flipped Inuyasha fic and art was pretty popular, then my GBNaru Series even more so. I did the Naruto thing for like.. I dunno, maybe 4 years of my life, and since leaving, I have never been as popular as I was then since.

It’s a very strange feeling, remembering the constant communication and comments, all the art I used to pump out, the interest, the fans, the DA friends.

And now I’m just sort of a nobody again. I rarely get spoken too, and the atmosphere on Tumblr is so different in comparison. It’s so weird now to look at popular artists on Tumblr and think ‘wow that used to be me.’

It’s just weird and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I'm just having a strange moment, like this sort of weird realization that I really was popular. I had a reputation that I built up over quite a few years and now I'm just a nobody again. In a weird way, I think it kind of makes me sad.

I guess it doesn't help that I shoved all those GBNaru fans away when I found out that they were still following me, still expecting me to come back to it. I hated that expectation, because I felt like I had all these people who were getting irritated and angry with me for losing interest and doing stuff that I wanted to do instead. I didn't want people like that watching me anyway, but still. I don't regret making that journal and bluntly informing them that I was done with it and that they should not be here for that, but I dunno.

Wow, things have definitely come a long way and changed a lot, huh? 8O
Think of it as finding out the people who are genuinely interested in you and your art instead of just following the fandom like some people do :huggle:
