The WA team could have gone back to their roots; been a UI support/replacement addon. But because they were able to basically now code it to play for them... 🙄

Though, some folks are already working on 'alternatives' 🫠

Then add in the fact that the devs didn't want to tell people they couldn't use addons, they became pressured to develop fights AROUND what the playerbase could use. 😑
However, there is actually a lot of players happy to see this go. Even if they actively used it.

And since the WA sets can be shared both in game and out of game, there became almost a full black market of things people could do. Including options to 'hack' people. 😬

WA was never intended to be as expansive an addon as it became. The first iteration of it was merely a UI support/replacement system. But when they added in the options to apply your own coding, people began figuring out ways to write practically anything and everything to be done with it. 🙃

Aye... When the brain worms hit, it's always hardest. While I could be cliché and say that "it'll pass", or "you're fine", you'd have to believe it too (which is hard atm).
However, it won't be forever. Never is. You WILL find that spark again.
And we'll be here, excited to see what you do next. ❤️

I go through these cycles at times where drawing can be really hard to bring myself to do. But, I always seem to come back with a new focus, and sometimes a slightly better way of tackling my artwork. (Sometimes, that happens faster when I watch others create art.)
It'll come back. I know it. ❤️🫂

Figured it was about time to update the pinned post, as there has been a number of people following as of late. (Hello!)

And because as long as I don't get sick... I will return to streaming Dec 6th. ❤️
Hope to see ya there. 😘

A part of me feels happier when someone gets angry, and I get to see that even in anger, they still treat me as the same person. That they refrain from name calling, misgendering, or anything else in an attempt to 'hurt me'... cause they're just ANGRY.

I trust anger, more than sweet apologies.

But... as I get older, I've begun to see that things people have said to me in their anger, was actually reflections of their true feelings.
Even when someone apologizes... I can hear in their voice, see in their body language, and FEEL from their aura: They're only sorry they shared the truth.

"Things said in anger are rooted in one's true beliefs."

This last one, I feel fits in with a lot of things said recently by way too many people.
I know that in some places, we're taught that people say whatever they can to hurt the other person in a fight, but don't actually mean it.

"No good deed shall go unpunished."

For a long time, I thought this was exactly as it was read. Then, I began to reflect on why I would sometimes feel worse after helping someone. Only to realize I was punishing myself.
I can only do so much. I can be better, but I shouldn't expect that every time.

"We hate the mirror before us."

This one, I figured out years ago. But it essentially says that when we see someone who is like ourselves, we can become incredibly judgemental of them. Because somewhere inside, we want to prevent them from following our own path.

As someone who doesn't have the capacity to even feel remorse (one of my missing emotions), I understand that taking responsibility for my actions when someone says I've hurt them is important.
I may not -feel- it is, but I know that it's the only way they can heal.

I don't recall there being one, but it has been a few years since I last used it.
In FFZ, it's found looking for 'raid' in the search. So would look for that if it's not found under 'block' or other similar terms. ❤️

Dunno if you're fine with using any extensions with Twitch, but FFZ does have a block list that will remove you from raiding into names you add to it.
Sucks that we need an extention for it, but it is an option. 🫂

There's also the option to just start with the texture being super designed for it. Took me a moment to find it again, but this jumped into my mind as a possibility too.
While it's made in zb/3Dmax, the idea of using the textures to achieve the look can be mimic'd
