#blog hiatus

[as-above-rp]

OOC Update, Blog Update, Mini Vent

I truly wonder sometimes if it's the tumblr system fucking me over and not sending me notifications when people interact, or if it's just folks losing interest in plot/thread ideas and quietly dropping them. Then again, I haven't really been online since the new year started. Even back in November, my activity was spotty at best, fueled by little bursts of creativity and fumes from the excitement of October. But fumes run out eventually. And the little bursts of motivation to post online become fewer and father between.

I'm going to be so real; I've been tired of the tumblr RPC for a while. I stuck around for almost 10 years because it introduced me to some AMAZING people, and I genuinely had a lot of fun creating new things with people, and talking about the funny little characters we all have together. But the formatting is tedious, I switch interests at the drop of a hat but cling to others that have lost relevancy with the RPC as a whole, and I just feel like it's harder and harder for me to maintain partnerships with folks only using tumblr.

Not to mention that my senior dog's health looking like a Rollercoaster track with all the ups/downs/loopdiloops, and new challenges facing my intermediate school workplace, have been taking their toll on my energy. I don't want to spend my energy on a platform that I already have to exert extra effort to make tolerable, with so little interaction and feedback to make any of the effort worth it. I want to put that energy towards friends and projects that actually lift me up and bring me joy in what is a very trying time in my life atm.

That all being said, I'm not going to keep anybody in the dark any longer. I'm officially putting this blog into a winter hiatus. All the other blogs associated with this one, like @nomans-land-rp , @the-trails-we-blaze and @plague-on-the-run , will similarly be put on hiatus as well. I'm just going to ride the rest of this winter out trying to keep my head above water, and putting my energy into things that bring me comfort and joy.

I'd like to say that I'm going to spend the winter revamping my blogs, updating character stories and plot lines behind the scenes rather than in public posts, and finally adding characters I've been itching to write again from my early 20-teen years in the RPC for a big comeback in spring. I want to say that's what I'll be doing, because that's what I WANT to do, and HOPE I can accomplish it. But as of right now, I can't guarantee any of that. I'm taking everything one day at a time, and I'm allowing myself the grace to change my mind without any pressure or guilt.

In case I do come back in the spring, this post will be deleted and replaced with a new promo, featuring updated characters, rosters, and storylines. All withdtanding threads will be dropped to open up space for new plots, and new interactions. In case I don't come back, it's been a wonderful time getting to know everyone, i am so thankful for all the interactions and friendships i've made, and I wish everyone the best of luck, and for your RPC experience to continue being a fruitful one.

If you want to keep in touch with me, I am happy to share my discord info with folks who reach out to me in my DMs--although please keep in mind that I reserve the right to pick and choose who I share this information with. The worst I can do is say no thank you, but please respect that boundary--if I do share my info with you, don't just give it out to other people. And if I choose not to share it with you, understand that I'm very selective about my innermost circles, and I want to keep it to folks I really get along with and feel a friendship with.

Until next time, friends. Thank you for everything ♡

Hiatus for all my blogs to focus on my mental health, thank you all for your support <3

Blog hiatus due to burnout.

I'm experiencing burnout atm.

So I'm going to go on hiatus.

[blueberrythefrog]

USB!Kinito and this blog will be put on hiatus for the time being, until the end of April! I have been unmotivated and mentally drained, these past few days, trying to push out art and more story! and I have decided to disable asks, due to people getting pushy towards the AU, which has also contributed to my motivation sinking. Also, another reason I am taking a break is because, this month is my birth month!, and every year on my birth month, I like to take breaks to focus on me!, so I can mentally recover from social interactions! So, don't get discouraged, I will return when I can!, and if I don't return after April, I'll probably return mid way through May!, until then, thank you all for being so patient!, see you soon!

Life update:

Well, cat news got worse. We’re looking at compassionate euthanasia for our girl. Our options are letting her go, or having her go through a CT and another tap but our vet said she’s already so frail and weak that he’s not sure she would survive any more invasive procedures, nor did he want to give us false hope with potential costly surgeries that have a 50% rate of failure anyways.

He recommended we try upping her current diuretic to see if that does anything over the next week or two to reduce the fluid in her heart sac but he does not have hope considering she’s already been on a high dosage for the last 6 weeks. Over the next two weeks we will be doing everything in our power to make her remaining time stress-free and full of love before we say goodbye.

That said, I will not be around as much. Content creation and original fics are basically halted but I will try and get some event stories out so I have something to work on instead of stewing in sadness. I won’t hold myself to a timeline for them but I already outlined and started writing them and want to see them through, so please be patient with me as I get them out when I am able to.

This blog has been my hobby and safety net since last year so I don’t plan to abandon it, however I may be quiet and keeping to myself. Please don’t take it personally if I don’t respond to messages or DMs right away. So many of you have reached out or been otherwise supportive and it’s been a true blessing to have y’all in my life, not just during cat’s illness but overall, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate every single one of you in this fandom.

Indefinite Hiatus

I don't know who will read this, but as of today I'm going to have to declare this blog to be on hiatus. It is unfortunate to have to do this because there were a lot of things I wanted to do and I've suspended activities before even really getting started. There are too many things going on in my personal life for me to actively engage with hobbies at the moment. I just want to leave this message here to give thanks and show appreciation to everyone who positively interacts with the things I post. Even though I'm declaring hiatus, I can say with confidence this won't be permanent and as soon as the circumstances in my life improve, I will come back. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who gives likes and participates in the polls! I look forward to the day I see you again. 😊

Idk atm maybe it would be best if I stepped away for a lil while for writing and strictly focus on commissions. Thought I would've recovered a lot more since the 12-1am debacle posting I did but I haven't so maybe tomorrow

Sorry to everyone, I thought I was better than this in regards to posting but ig I'm not

blog hiatus details

if you're reading this you probably saw my blog title so let me explain (tl;dr at the end)

life has been a tad crazy at the moment (moment meaning like the past 3 months as of posting this) for a few reasons. i am currently doing my first year of college/running start so dealing with that and adjusting to a different workload/workstyle has been interesting and frankly time consuming. my family has also been going a bit crazy and while it doesn't really affect me personally it sometimes does take a portion of my thoughts. i am also just kind of in that age where i'm preparing for the real world; driving a car, getting a job, college, etc. and while i have thankfully got through my horrendous seasonal depression (it was so bad this winter) it is only replaced by anxiety so that's pretty epic as well.

throughout the past few months the busyness and mental illness caused a really bad lack of motivation, and as you may have noticed i just started reblogging like hell. i did feel a bit bad about it ngl. on the bright side, i do have a few ideas in store for when i finally get back my motivation and time (which might be soon). also hopefully with the seasonal depression out of the way it'll be easier for me to get over any negative thoughts i have about doing art

also i slowly just kinda forgot about this blog with life needing my attention a lot more. when i come back, i'll probably make another blog for rb'ing, so i can make more meaningful posts here on the main blog. i did get the classic "doing it for the likes" feeling a lot, and i probably will still have that when i come back, but i'll try to be doing stuff for myself more. maybe i'll also actually get good at art

i also apologize to those who have been tagging me in stuff, i do feel really bad about not responding. i miss you guys and i am super excited to come back, i just need to prepare myself a bit more

tl;dr: life has been crazy, motivation has been down. i have ideas for when i come back, which is hopefully soon. also i will try to change my view on how this blog works and operates

anyway thanks for reading all this, see you guys soon ❤️❤️❤️

also i am dating someone now. whoops 🙃

Hello, everyone. Mod Copper here, with a little announcement. For a long time this blog was updated on a consistent basis because of the queue system. However, while daily posts are still a thing, there is little consistency to their timing. This is largely due to a change in my work schedule that eats into the free time I have to maintain the queue. More recently, issues with my internet have also been contributing factors. And, honestly, there is a bit of burnout involved, too. I still love running this blog but I have been doing it for two years now.

So, I am going to take a hiatus for the next week or two. I had hoped to finish this episode first but my net is being particularly cranky today so a post is unlikely. During this hiatus I am going to focus on finishing the capping of the current episode and the next so that I can fill the queue again like it once was.

(For those curious I use to queue up a month's worth of posts at a time, something that takes about four hours to do between uploading, adding dialogue, and tagging characters for each post. I haven't been able to do that in a couple of months because my work shift change has me getting up at 4:30am each weekday, so I spend most of my weekend catching up on everything, including sleep.)

Thank you to everyone for their support these last two years. This blog will be back in action soon.

- ❤️ Copper

Ooc: I'm taking a blog hiatus for plot reasons (there's a bunch going on behind the scenes currently) and I have to take a break from Posting on here for a couple of weeks because we're working on the next big step in the plot and it can't happen if Elijah doesn't chill for awhile

If you still want to keep up with the plot check out @ek300-theprototype my oc blog

Elijah will return, eventually

🌿hiatus🌿

I'm just as lost as you are. I'm taking time away from it.

I feel empty most days. I try not to but, I still do. I feel everything that I could feel in a moment and then it flees back into a greyness that's suffocating.

I just don't think my life is important enough to blog about. I think there are other people and things that people would care about more.

So, I'm just going to step away. It's healthier for me this way.

Nobody really cares, so I don't know why I'm posting this. It doesn't matter. Sorry for wasting your time, if you were following up until now.

I don't know if I'll come back. If I do, I don't know when.

<3

I hope as many people as possible will see this. I want to say that I am sorry but recently I have went through many unforeseen ups and downs in my personal life that put me in a strange place emotionally. I’ve also somewhat fallen out of love with the DN fandom, but I don’t believe this is by any means permanent. I simply don’t have the energy and passion to engage with this platform right now, and I really don’t know when I will be returning so I’ll have to declare this blog on hiatus. Please do not worry about me as I am not in any danger or in serious trouble. I just sort of need some time on my own and away from social media. I look forward to the day I can interact with all of you again.

Hello everyone! I want to give you all a heads up:

My partner and I, who run this blog and the Yaoi World Discord server, were told that our landlord sold our house out from under us just a couple days ago. On top of that, my partner, who is the main poster for the blog and spends the most time filling out our queue, is suffering complications from having COVID last month, due to their already very poor health. We are doing everything that we can to avoid a hospital visit, as every day that they spend in the hospital is a missed day of work for me (I'm paid to be their full time caregiver so that I don't have to leave them alone 8 hours a day).

What this boils down to is that if the queue runs out, the blog may go silent for a time. We aren't abandoning it or leaving Tumblr, we just have to focus on my partner's health, packing, finding a new place, and making sure that we have enough funding to make it all work.

I will be running a yard sale after I finish sorting and packing everything we want to keep to try to bulk up our funds, but I unfortunately have to put my shop into vacation mode so I don't get orders while everything is boxed up.

If you want to help out the blog/server admins....

Going to avoid social media for a week due to you-know-what day/week.

I'm also dealing with personal issues with my family and finishing up with my class in a couple weeks, so I won't be making videos/art in a while.

Hello!

Quick update to say that I won’t be much active in the next few weeks cause I’m travelling and when I come back I’m moving into my apartment so all that plus working has me just absolutely stressed and too busy to frolic on silly blogs. But worry not I will be back stronger than ever!

[imgonnaragnorockurshit]

a lil life update

hey folks :) long time no talk

the last time i put something of my own on this blog was 9 months ago and the last time i updated Annihilation Day was over a year ago, and even then, my reposts have been very far and few between.

since we last spoke i got my first boyfriend, fell in love with said boyfriend, lost my best friend, graduated college, moved out of an abusive living situation (said best friend), got into grad school, moved to another state, started grad school (wow!), got dumped (wow.), and am currently in my last few weeks of my first semester of my master's program.

to say life got on top of me this past year would be an understatement and navigating it all has been really awful and hard and lonely, but i'm hoping that rejoining this community will help me feel less alone, and maybe help me heal a bit through writing again.

i'm sorry i haven't really been around. there's such a lovely community of artists on this website and among my mutuals and it makes me sad to think that i missed out on so much of everyone's work while i was gone. I can't say quite when i'll start posting again, especially AD because that project is super close to my heart and i never want to rush it just to post it, but i promise to try.

in the meantime, i definitely hope to be more active, so please feel free to send me any asks or requests for anything, or even just a hello or life update of your own, i'd love to get talking with you all again.

anyways, thanks for listening. i'll talk to you soon <3

love,

whiskey
