(Picture taken in the Grand Canyon, no I'm not leaving.)

When I made this account, I was panicking. Why? Only Red and a select few others will know. To be honest, even if I was slightly demoralized, I was still determined to create. Starting with nothing gave me the ability to start fresh and do what I wanted, without expectations, since the first bot I made would make an impression, although I’ve already learned a few lessons from a previous life. I still make whatever I want, because this is a hobby, but I try to keep up with promises I’ve made. Sort of.

Having a fresh start let me use a different format, Ailenus’ bot format, which I find to be very modular and good for my purposes. I’ve met new people who showed me cool stuff, like CAG. I’ve tried to make angst, I’ve made smut. However, the majority of the things I’ve found that I like to make are characters who aren’t the most serious, contrasting that with some lore that is basically rambling.

@RedActual, I’ve seen you grow from the beginning, and I remember the time I first found you through your first M4A1 bot. I don’t remember my comment exactly, but it probably was a joke. You’re at over a thousand followers, which is amazing, to be honest.

The person who I learned the most from during my early botmaking days was @Moxxie1, who’s moved onto greener pastures. Thanks for being ever-supportive of me, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this post.

@GhostDriver, you’re doing amazing work building your own things. I’ll admit, the Carbineslop is funny as hell, and I’m glad I inspired someone to show their own OC T-Dolls.

@Hizero, you’re epic as shit. Keep making cool-ass GFL bots, and that G&K Academy better be a gourmet meal. No pressure, though, cook at your own pace.

Shoutouts to @ToastedForever, @Poijjnbv_Teto_Endorser, @Marco1500, @ShunnedThe2nd, @Tanksforfun, many others who I can’t all name, and my friends, who’ve been faithful and supportive of my endeavors.

Most specially is you, someone who decided to click on my bots and chat with them. That’s how we all start.

And remember to touch grass and get fresh air. It helps to change up the scenery.
