Perfection Is Never Easy | iNDEFINATE HIATUS

So...

I’ve been back and forth on this for what seems like forever but for my own sake I need finally make a choice so I stop beating myself up over it.

When I first came back to the PokeAsk community with this blog, my goal was to get into that ever elusive “Finished Blog Club”. I was so determined! I finally had a story to tell about character I loved, and I still care about this blog very much so! But my brain has a nasty habit of hyping myself up for projects and then leaving them to gather dust. I hate it but if my mind isn’t in it, it becomes genuinely draining to continue on. Plus, as I have mentioned before, I’m getting married in June. With The Other Q finishing up his degree by the end of the year as well we’ve been making plans for where to go from there and what we want to do. Life forces you to move on even if you don’t want to, yknow? I enjoy fandom content but I’ve come to realize I’ve been using it as a safety net of sorts. It’s easier to create content when the background is already in place for you, and you can just explain almost anything away as a “headcanon”. I need to teach myself to branch out and flex my story telling glands on more original works. I need to not be scared of creating original content.

That, and...It seems like drama is really on and off these days. I really wanted to help be a beacon of positivity within the community but as time went on and it was one thing after another it became harder. I wanted to reach out and make friends but the more the environment was muddied with the drama the more I felt..Scared? Unsafe, I guess? Hard to say. I may sound selfish but I suppose I’m just trying to look out for my own mental health first so I apologize. 

Negative aspects aside, it’s been a wonderful number of years in this community. I’ve met so many wonderfully talented artists and cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming amount of support and love I have received during my time here. 

I may lurk around and you may see me like a post or leave a comment every now and again, but as far as this blog’s story goes it’s on hiatus. I don’t know if this is a permanent goodbye as my mind still hasn’t fully settled into a decision, so for now we can call it a see you later.  I’ll be closing the askbox after today so if you have any comments or questions feel free to shoot me one for the time being.

Take care of yourselves, alright?    ~Mod Q

(( I still follow you on twittor and stuff but-

I’m happy you are taking a step forward for yourself and your mental health!! I know it hurts and sucks to have to leave or put a blog on hiatus, but honestly you will always come before that. It may hurt but I’m happy you are taking a step forward for yourself and I wish you only the best.

Whether you come back or not, you were such a lovely member of this community who always did their best to spread positivity and give us The Good Content.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do! Please know no matter if you choose to come back or stay away for good, you’ll always have mine and others support towards your happiness and well-being.

Take care of yourself and don’t stress about this place anymore!! ♥️ ))

Hello, I'm was a fan to your awesome blog and the drawings, character and motivation had me creating my own blog. So thank you for being everyone shining star to guide us through toughest times but I hope those fleeting dreams will help you in future.

Oh goodness thank you! it’s always an honor to hear I inspired someone QwQ

I understand your decision... I couldn't thank you enough for your time here to entertain us with your cute comics. Though I followed this blog months before that 'mass deletion' scene, I always eager to follow your next entry. Again, thank you for making my day brighter with your comics! Hopefully you'll be back to continue Dren's story in the future 🥰

P/S: One of my favourite moments on your blog

Gosh these were all beautiful moments QwQ Thank you for sticking around, even if it was just a short time!

Avatar

Take care of yourself :) go do what you need to do, and even if you don't return, know that you were and still are very loved :)

Avatar

That means so much coming from you, Skins QwQ Thank you so very much

I feel you on askblog plots, I feel like askblogs are almost designed to never resolve and boy is it draining. I've mostly shelved the plot I have here to work on original content as well so you're not alone for sure, Im excited to see more of your non fandom stuff!

Avatar

It's like I wanna finish so bad but just. Cannot. It's nice to know someone else feels the same though. Thank you QwQ

Avatar

Won’t lie, I’m sad that this blog will be shelved for the foreseeable future. But it was quite the enjoyable ride, and I understand and accept your decision. Take care of yourself out there!

Avatar

Trust me, it makes me sad too...Maybe one day I'll be able to come back to it. You take care of yourself too

Avatar

I completely understand what you mean, I've been going through it myself and have taken a step away from Fandom related stories and focused more on creating my own. I can definitely say it's more rewarding when others like the content and show an interest in it! Hope you have a lovely wedding ❤

Avatar

It's comforting to know I'm not alone tbh. Thank you very much <3

If you do decide to stop it permanently - please, don't delete it, so I can finish the archival (got some crazy life moments myself, hence hiatus in archive). In other things to say, best wishes to you and The Other Q! May life be great for you all.

Thank you for the well wishes! Don't worry, I don't plan to delete the blog

What's the "OCverse"?

The OCverse is exactly what it says, the Original Character Universe. I started doing more original content and character/creature design recently but missed Dren and Co., so I made OC versions of them. Considering the world is something The Other Q and I can both have fun messing with, it's what I've been motivated to work on the most

Personally, the thing I like to see most as a viewer is artists/authors clearly enjoying themselves. Whatever you feel like doing, go for it! It's passion that gives things life. Don't worry about making a wrong choice, or what other people will think-- this is your life, you can live it for yourself, and we're here to support that :]

It's comforting yo know people will still support me. It's been hard for me to build up the confidence I once had. Thank you

Anonymous asked:

So since you're branching out into original stuff and turning the cast into that, are you going to reboot this blog that way? Or are you going to leave the blog as is and not continue the story?

Alright so...

I assume you’ve been around my twitter since you’re asking about the OCverse. But to answer your question...I really don’t know. This blog and its story still means the world to me but life has just...Gotten in the way of it, yknow? I haven’t really said anything about it in case I did find the energy/motivation to return, but it’s been increasingly harder and harder for me to. I wanted nothing more than to finish this blog’s story. To finally complete an ask blog, something a rare few have actually done. I wanted to feel accomplished and proud. Have this as something to point back to like “Look at this thing. Look how far I’ve come.” but it’s been hard. 

I don’t know what I want to do with this blog. I don’t know if I’ll come back to it or reboot it to fit the OCverse. I don’t know. I just don’t want to let people down. I don’t want to disappoint people. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m sorry.

Hey guys, the kind of post I'm making today is a bit different. Usually, I would never do this, but given the circumstances, and my fear for other people, I have to do this.

I can't put this situation lightly at all. So, I will get to the point.

@/totallycorrectghostpokemonquotes isn't what he seems. Hes emotionally abusive and manipulative.

This is not a excuse to harrass this person. I do not condone it. The whole point of this post is to warn others about this person so that they do not have to go through this, and if they have, possibly speak up.

I have completed a doc of what I can recount, its not everything, but it consists of the most major of these events.

(Trigger warning for: Mentions of suicide, manipulation, emotional abuse and possible p*dophillia in a twitter callout from another person I will be putting in this doc. Please block the person mentioned and move on.)

This is the google doc everything is on:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l8YEhziq85kIf4NBVaYmfpdd84uY-HNYTshfYNrP3rA/edit?usp=drivesdk

Thanks for listening, and please stay safe.

Guys. This user is back and is trying to ignore what they did.

Please report and STAY AWAY from this user.

I WILL get proof that they tried, multiple times, to get into tumblr with a NEW name. They have ignored and tried to hide from the stuff that they did to my friend. I will not let them do so.

Please report the user

I don't condone harassment or death threads to the ab//ser mentioned. Please just report them for what they did.

Do NOT let them get away with the stuff they have done.

I will be updating this and getting some more proof of them trying to run away from said actions by trying to go for a new name in a new account.
