You know guys, if there's one thing on why you don't see me often on TBT related events, it's because they're too heavy on the art/drawing/crafting department which is my weakness.
Except for if these scenarios are related to New Horizons, I'm fine with that. It's the things that require a more hands-on interaction.
- I haven't really bothered with the arts and crafts growing up, as I always thought that was boring.
- I get super embarrassed when drawing certain features to the drawing, and I think to myself that I'm going to hate the finished project when I'm done with it.
- And about the crafting, I don't really come with the materials needed to do it. Not to mention that I never know what I'll need to do it, how I can get it done.
So yes, as much as I would love to have these new collectibles when they come, I fear that my lack of creativity is what's holding me back on getting a lot or in some cases, at all.
I was lucky enough to have the Farewell to New Leaf, Earth Week 2024, TBT World Championship 2024 and Mushroom Season to not require any arts and crafts to earn currency to buy the new collectibles, but that's only 4 of the events from last year as the rest required doing it to earn
most of the currency at the very LEAST!
To add on, it's one of the very few excusable reasons why I'm not active on TBT as to when I used to. I feel like I
have to participate in something that I don't like doing, even if it turns out good or bad, so I hide in the shadows until the event is over.
And even when the event is over, I'm still not active on the Forums since everything else seems to be more fun than I would like to admit.
Then again, my new year's resolution for 2025 is to try new things, even if I wouldn't like it, but this arts and crafts thing I think I can have a hard pass on.
