I spent well over 20 minutes, trying to write this post. I was trying to be tactful, give apologies, all that fun stuff.
But I can't feel sorry for my decision:
I'm leaving the Undertale Community.
This has been a long time coming, as my passion for the game and my ocs has fallen away. Instead, I've despaired over all the drama in this community for the past year, between friends and enemies alike.
And somehow, every time, I've been on the wrong side. No one really knew I was on the wrong side, because of course, I was never able to voice my opinions. All it did was make me want to panic, so I never said a word to anyone.
I stayed out of the drama, but it was killing me inside. I just wanted to be friends with everyone, but for MY own mental health and safety, I have to leave. This community is great, on the surface. But once you get past that, all I could see was hatred and disdain.
I've been here for three years, and each passing year made this community worse and worse. People just got more and more bitter towards each other, and I, quite frankly, can't take it anymore.
Staying in this community has ruined my mental health, as I worried about what EVERYONE thought of me.
But I can't keep doing this to myself, so this is my farewell to the Undertale community.
Determination-Saved will be archived, and I will be starting to make each and every one of my ocs a fandomless oc.
This is no one's fault but my own, so no one is allowed to blame themselves for my departure from the community. I had forced myself to stay as I adored the game and didn't want to abandon my characters.
But I was already kind of doing that. My blogs were being forgotten, and I wasn't passionate about them anymore.
I think I knew this was coming for a while now.
So, goodbye Undertale community, and maybe, I'll return some day.
You can find me in the poke.mon community under @rxxmwhereithappens, or, for very close mutuals, you can message me for my discord.
