hope it helps!

@redweasel  
That’s deep. Thanks.

if you can find love if you stop drawing, then please stop drawing. but I think you know it won’t help. keep approaching people, being friendly, not giving a fuck about the normies and the haters, and beyond that it’s mostly just… chance. you can find some places where people are a little more likely to accept your darker feelings, but there’s no guarantee anyone there will wanna do you.

please don’t go, lunar! you’re a wonderful artist and I know that I and quite a few others would terribly miss you if you were to leave

@Darkest Lunar Flower  
We all really want you to stay your art is so beautiful and cute and it can be so expressive too such as the picture of Luna under moonlight saying she does not have a cold heart just because she is introverted, art like that and all your cute art makes everyone so happy and they see what a wonderful girl you are, we all love you and do not want to see you go.

It was just a thought…I’m still not sure…

It’s always sad to see any talented artist give up.
 
I have known a few that left here, and the site seems emptier without them. It was my reason for starting the artist group chat thread originally.
 
Maybe take a couple of weeks break and come back then?
 
Just remember, even if we haven’t met face to face, you have friends here.

Darkest I am so sorry you feel so down and out at this time, I wish I could help you but I do not know how, all I can hope to do is remind you that all your art and your conversations here and on Discord have made so many people happy, we love your art and we love you as a person, you are wonderful, we want you to stay and keep doing what makes you happy: Drawing Luna. I wish I could do more for you and I hope you feel better soon.

I can tell you hurt a lot. Have you considered that you’re angry too? You can be angry, okay. I don’t mean go out and pitch a fit and/or hurt people. Be angry, do something cathartic. Internalizing all that pain is just bottling it up, and it’s burning the bottle now.
 
Getting a job won’t fix that; all the money and ‘productive’ activity won’t compensate for losing your art since your art is an outlet. Hell, maybe do some angry art, that is a thing. “The Sun” might be coming, but if you’re so caught up in being miserable you might not notice. Maybe it’s time to chase the dawn, and seek out the Sun.

Originally I was going to ignore this, but I felt I needed to share something.  
Why waste such a wonderful talent? Pardon me for not understanding the extent of your sadness but giving up is never the answer. I’ve given up on things and I’ve deeply regretted them every time. College, friends, life choices. I almost quit life itself. The world has goodness in it, and it takes time to find it. Unfortunately, the internet is a harsh cyber world of bullying and trolling, and it tends to drown out the gentle helpful offers and overall kindness from others. But they do exist.
 
If you like doing art, please don’t give up. I make shitty memes and I get hated on, but there are still one or two people who look forward to my jokes, however terrible they may be. Even if only a handful of people are listening, that is better than giving up, because you’re still providing and still producing something good in the world, not that my content is good by any means, but you get the idea. I feel motivated to continue sharing.
 
And Flower, your art is beautiful. You have such a special style that I’ve not seen replicated ever before. The fur textures and eyes especially. I wouldn’t have thrown money at you for a commission if I didn’t think you had the ability to produce beautiful art.
 
Never give up. Giving up seems easy, and it may seem like a good idea. But you will regret it.

lunar pls! D:
