so, i have a decision i want to make final.
i am leaving the team rocket community entirely.
this is going to be an indefinite decision, but you know, it’s very likely permanent. and while yes, it is partially in light of a recent event that very few people know about, quite honestly i had been considering it for a very, very long time. we’re talking back when i dropped sylvia long time.
i want to talk about why, though. for some reason, in this community specifically, all of my characters seem to depend on specific relationships and that’s just… not good. i have tried. again and again. to restart characters from scratch and extend their reach beyond shipping and specific friendships but it never happened. and while i think it had to do with me making close friends here, i think it also had to do with the enemies i unfortunately make here too.
and you know? i have no idea why that is? i mean whether it’s people not liking me for my politics (which happens on my other blogs too, TRUST me), or just me not getting along with people, or me losing friends, the team rocket blogs and i just seem to not vibe.
but here’s the thing: i am completely at peace with this. there was a point in my life where being TEAM ROCKET was like. my ~identity~ or something. where i also NEEDED proton in my life because he was so representitive of my depression. but i am healing. i am growing and i am ready to leave this part of me behind.
i hope no one takes this to be a vague or a callout. honestly i couldn’t begin to list all of the people i’ve lost and had runins with here. i don’t want to. this isn’t meant to be a negative post. it’s meant to be a sort of liberation. i’m finally letting this dead weight go.
for the record, this means NO. team rocket muses. domino, petrel, miyamoto, and james will be coming off of writtenbykaichu. sylvia, x, venus, and proton will officially be retired. i’ll have to talk to kas about madame boss–if she’s started that project then i’ll keep her, but if not, i’ll give her another blog to work on and let her go too.
i am absolutely certain this will be good for me. and i’m not saying with certainty that i will never ever EVER write a rocket again, but like. when i do? it’ll be because the muse kicked me in the face and i have a renewed passion for it and the deadweight i feel now isn’t present at all. and THAT is a day i can look forward to.
see you guys on the other side!

so i feel that i should clarify something very quickly: my decision to ‘leave the rocket fandom’ affects my blogs only. i’m still perfectly happy to interact with any rocket-based blogs who, ya know. WANT to interact with me. i’m just personally not going to write rockets anymore. sorry if i scared anyone off with that. love ya!
