//well, i think it’s a pretty open secret at this point that i’ve been struggling with this blog for a little while.  i’ve tried multiple things to regain my muse, including putting certain muses on hiatus, highlighting the muses that i’m feeling, and doing a soft reboot, and nothing has really worked.  so, i have decided that it is time for a hard reboot, a clean start.

i will be remaking and archiving this blog.  the url will remain the same because it is very fucking choice, so i won’t be hard to find again.  however, i will be dropping over half of my active muses and, therefore, over half of my active threads.

muses who will be making it over to the new blog will be:

  • akali
  • brit
  • ekko
  • five
  • the joxter
  • lain
  • max
  • mordecai
  • snufkin

their current threads will likely be kept and picked at whenever i feel up to it.

the thing is that over the course of the past two and a half years, i have really boxed myself in mentally when it comes to this blog.  the fact i was able to write so many different muses and keep such consistent activity became a point of pride for me, and i kind of felt like i had to keep doing it, like i had some kind of reputation to maintain and i would be considered a disappointment or a failure if i couldn’t.  i started to set arbitrary quotas for myself, telling myself that i had to write a certain number of replies here before i could work on the ones i actually wanted to work on.  i would sacrifice a lot of sleep just to meet those arbitrary goals.  my sleep schedule is still completely shattered, haha!

anyway, yeah, this blog has just become very overwhelming and the source of a lot of undue stress, and i have no one to blame for it but myself.  i’m not happy here, and i’m no longer excited to add any of the muses i have been hoarding aesthetics and musings for in my drafts for over two years.

i would miss a lot of my muses here, so i can’t just leave, but i need to get the hell away from this blog to free myself from the cage i’ve put myself in.

seeing as i still have a lot of stuff - aesthetics, musings, memes - in both my queue and my drafts, this blog will continue to spit stuff out for another couple of months or so.  basically, i’m turning it into a resource blog for aesthetics, musings, and memes.  feel free to reblog whatever you want from it.  i straight-up don’t care if you destroy my activity because there is no longer anything that i need my activity for.  and i should hope that in leaving this pile of stress behind, i might do some good for somebody else.

i may see you on the other blog, but if not, have a good one, and take care of yourself. 💕

Change the pronouns as necessary.

“I cannot allow you to go. It wouldn’t be safe.” “I don’t just do this out of duty. I do this because I care about you.” “I don’t care what happens to you. I’m only following orders.” “You deliberately disobeyed me and put your life in danger!” “This isn’t about what you want. This about what your life means to others.” “You are never to leave my side again.” “Please trust that I have your best interests in mind.” “Of course. I will remain by your side always.” “You cannot be trusted not to do something reckless!” “Those friends of yours will be the death of you.” “Every time you do something like this, I feel myself going gray.” “I will protect you. Always.” “I won’t always be around to keep you safe.” “Of course you may attend – on the condition that I will be by your side throughout the entire affair.” “Additional security? Am I not enough?” “They’re cute, but you’re not sneaking off alone with them.” “And what if they were an assassin?!” “Behind me, NOW!” “I am not overprotective! I am the reasonable amount of protective!”
