Well...I think it's about time that I own up to something I should have owned up to a long time ago...and should have stopped, too.
Not a lot of people might know or remember her, but there was a person by the name of "Reka-chan" dabbling around DA, SA, SMFA, and even was on In and Out of Darkness for a while. Some noticed her art style was similar to mine...well, that's because it was me.
I feel like a total bastard for not saying anything sooner and for letting it drag on for so long, but she was kind of the person I wanted to be. I was hiding my own insecurities behind a fake persona and...well, I've finally decided I needed to be a man and admit to that. This has gone on way too long and I feel like I really need to stop it.
So, it's finally ending here. I've tried several times to let Reka disappear, but I simply couldn't do it. I think it was, again, due to my own insecurities and, even though I'm still insecure about a lot of things, circumstances have changed. I've done a lot of bad things through her and it's really making me feel like a total dickweed for putting on this charade for as long as I have...
For those of you who liked her, watched her art, did art for her: I would like to sincerely apologize. This has been riding heavily on my heart for a LONG time now, and it's about damn time that I fess up to this and take the blame for doing this.
You're all welcome to hate me, but I ask for forgiveness from the bottom of my heart. It's finally time that I suck it in and deal with it first-hand and finally let that persona die while I allow myself to try and over-come my insecurities on my own, instead of hiding behind a fake persona.
So yeah. That's my confession and I still feel like a total jackass for holding on to her for so long, and I'm truly sorry for anyone who's hurt by this.
Thanks for listening.
EDIT: I might upload some of the "art" she's done...because I really like the style and I hope to do some of it for me...

I never knew you before ToT, but I know this story more or less through two other people: Myself and an old friend. This happened once during my sexual insecurity stage when I wasn't sure if I liked being a girl or not, so I pretended to be a male through Gaia. I really pissed someone off when I revealed the truth, but then they later PMed me and told me that they, a female, were actually a guy and was doing the same thing for the same reason...
Course, then we both turned out to piss off other people we'd know through our opposite-sex personas...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it isn't an uncommon thing with the internet and all and that no one should get incredibly pissed at you because it is something all too easy in this day and age.
Has anything I said made any sense? O.o It isn't making any sense to me, but I can't thing of another way to say it. >_<

I'm embarrassed now. I hadn't realized you're a guy! Not that I mind either way. The internet really makes that irrelevant. To me anyway. Hope you'll feel better about this soon!

I
you no matter what!!!!! I think at times everyone goes through a time that they want to be someone else, and some of us go about trying to do so. I will admit on trying to be "Serra", aka my sailor death's, persona for so long when I first created her. She was all I wanted to be: beautiful, thin, powerful.....nothing that I feel like I am. I still have problems with some of this issues, but we all have to work through them somehow.
Anyways, I think you are smart...you know how to create such amazing art because you know how to work with these art programs, and you sew amazingly and have such patience to do so....not something a lot of people can and try to do. *hugs* What matters is that you like you for you, who cares what other's think!!!

lmfao I'm so behind on SA.

Shuu, we love you. xD I don't think your friends (me included) get mad over something like this. Lmao I remember looking at her work and I was like "....o.o is she related to Shuu?"
[sub]And, I think I've seen this happen before. Remember Miria/miraigoldenchild? She acted just like Stephanie/Shadowrosebride, artwise and speechwise...and she even used things I gave to Miria to use.[/sub]
But anyways, yeah, we definitely wouldn't get upset over this, sweetheart.
