BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS: if you wanna continue seeing just original comics and illustrations, sign up for my ko-fi. It’s in my linktree or go to ko-fi.com/wizwoe. If you wanna see all my art, sign up for my patreon at patreon.com/foolstemper - I believe it is also in my linktree in my bio. You can visit my other instagram, too, @foolstemper.Okay okay okay let’s get into itHey, folks. I know this account (wizwoe) has been real quiet - and there’s a reason for that. March 2023, someone hacked this account and I was so disenchanted by my experience here that i just haven’t had it in me to fight to get it back. I care deeply for so many of you, I value your support and kindness, and I was so terrified of turning my back on queer art that I fought myself to continue making things that I didn’t want to make, and that caused me more pain.Point is: this account got hacked and I don’t have the will to get it back when the harassment and fear of the harassment eat at me so intensely. The saddest part is that the harassment is almost entirely from other queer people - so I find myself wondering: am I welcome here? Am I wanted? Am I needed? Am I saying the wrong things? I don’t know. But I don’t want to wake up having to choose between defending myself or just doing the report and block thing. It’s alienating and jarring to see people hate me so much - so to those that do… guess ya got what you wanted. Another queer giving up the queer art thing to make stuff that doesn’t end in death threats or worse. Congratulations, you fucking monsters. You should know I’m happier making music illustrations, tho, so maybe this w’s mine.Anyway. I might try to get back here but I’m just not feeling it. If you want to see other art, go here: linktr.ee/foolstemperI’ll post comics sometimes to patreon but mostly to ko-fi but for the most part, I’m drawing what I want, when I want.See ya by the sea shore, my friends.- Vedder 💙
