Hi? Gosh how do I even start with this :'D
I know it's been ages since I've last popped up on here. I've been debating when to post this for a while, but I kept adding to my draft more and more and now it's the end of JULY omgg I felt so guilty disappearing with zero updates but then thought my birthday would be the best day to finally address this considering it'll feel less random? idk but Ive always celebrated my bday with you guys and I'd feel so bad answering your kind asks without me at least explaining why I was gone for months.
Truth be told, I was dealing with a lot of stuff irl. health issues and sudden declining grades that left me stumped and drained for months now- along with technical issues like having to replace some parts of my computer that took a while for me to find to even draw digitally, which I didn't have the time for anyway with how tired and weary I felt every day.
I'm frankly shaken up by a lot of shit rn and I don't know how to be active online with this burden on my chest- Especially as it's been a while since I've even looked at utmv related content and my motivation dwindled. I swear I'd hype myself up to post or reblog something- but I'd see just how much I've missed or the overwhelming amount of posts I'd need to go through and I'd feel so swamped with exhaustion and most importantly guilt, for not clearing the air up sooner to reassure you guys that I'm, y'know, alive, and not dead in a ditch somewhere. And I'd procrastinate cause typing it all out is hard and I'd give up halfway every time and it's just not fair to you all!
I thought I was handling it well when I started going out and socializing more, instead of staying cooped up at home on my computer all day. and in the first draft of this post I made months ago I was gonna detail some of the fun plans I had, for my life and for this blog :D but relaxing my strict study schedule and letting go a bit of my tight routine, thinking it was better than wringing myself dry to keep it up, backfired horribly, to say the least.
I know right?? so silly to be hung up on stupid shit like studies of all things! but this is a very important thing for me considering my career plans and the competitivity encouraged by everyone I'm surrounded by, the pressure of keeping up adding to my already stressful days. I had to fix myself up first and I couldn't handle the strain nor interact with people and thinking of jobs and exams sapped my energy so much it's frankly embarrassing. writing this feels so cheesy too and it frustrates me to know I could've come back a month earlier if it weren't for that, but I also know putting all of this into words then would just sound like incoherent venting (not that this is very different tbf) and I wasn't in the right headspace to address my absence, or anything really- I didn't want everyone to see me return when I couldn't muster up a genuinely positive message, let alone talk to anyone with a shadow of my usual cheer
I feel like a complete mess and It drives me up the wall how depressed I've gotten. I debated deleting this blog so many times 'cause the fear of disappointing my audience and my friends, for lack of a more fitting sentiment, made me feel even shittier. I'm constantly thinking if this wall of text is worth posting, or if it's better not to burden you all with all my sappy troubles as if it's the end of the world. Trust me, I'll be fine. I'm not trying to dramatize this situation, but I don't think I'm up to pretending I'm all sunshine and enthusiasm you're all accustomed to.
So sorry for worrying you all! I'll try to catch up, deliver some missed birthday gifts, and answer some asks while I'm at it! Again, I can't state how much I appreciate your support throughout the years. It's frankly a miracle I kept any of you around with how much I keep popping and leaving at random with no warning. I definitely can't promise for my stay to be without a hitch, and if you don't mind an inconsistent schedule you're free to stay of course, but I'm afraid I can't sustain the pace I had when I first started this blog. I'll keep posting art, but lower my activity in the fandom sphere to reduce the strain on my mental health. so fewer rants and walls of text, more art, and less stress overall. Love you all and thanks for waiting for this long <3

Literally EVERY artist who played festivals tagging them (and posting on THEIR account) because it’s a cross-promo 🤦🏻♀️ but oh well I guess Louis want to lose even more fans during the festivals instead of gaining some so idrc anymore cuz I’m tired of wasting opportunities
Literally how would not tagging a festival lose him fans LMAOOOO WHAT. Are you suggesting that people who were fans of him, who like his music, might be like oh no he didn't tag a festival he played BYE!😂 Let's say the rest of the artists tagged the fest (I very much doubt this is true but I will not be looking up every artist that played it and checking... and no way did this anon either)- SO WHAT. Louis is a fucking STAR, he's a HEADLINER, he doesn't need to suck up and trade off publicity, they'll beg him to come back! And precisely how would tagging a fest gain him new fans? Literally come back and explain this to me in detail, seriously. I'd love to discuss.
But! I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that what you actually mean is that the fest posting about him on their socials where people who don't follow him might see it would gain him fans (which has no relation to this so I am REACHING to give that benefit here)- well that is NOT the same thing, and whether they do that is NOT dependent on being like oh guess we'll just repost the artists who tagged us! If they didn't oh well lol gosh hope I didn't forget any! And in fact I went and had a look at the festival in question's insta and what do you know; they posted about Louis along with the rest of the artists playing the fest (only he got TWO grid posts unlike most) and they are not reposting these supposed other artists' posts tagging them. So again: tell me how him tagging a festival gains him fans (and not doing it loses them!). Spell it out. Show me your work, don't just throw fandom buzz phrases around and think that means something.
You know what gains him fans at festivals? PLAYING THEM. Which he IS DOING. Oh and by the way you know how playing them gains him fans? By getting the attention of new people who weren't necessarily gonna watch his set or caring about his set- like for example by PLAYING SONGS THEY RECOGNIZE. But sure, he's failing to gain new fans (fact check: he REALLY isn't, literally look at the numbers) and it's because.... checks notes... he doesn't tag shows that have already happened and no longer need promo. SURE!
