Greetings friends. Things have been very rough for me this last 6months. I appreciate the messages and concern very much. I lost a job I loved due to cutbacks and the shock was so bad I developed a full blown panic disorder (yaaay, random panic attacks for no damn reason AND from all the usual triggers -_-) and I found out I have arthritis in my jaw which causes severe headaches and anxiety attacks. I've also developed a short term memory problem and other PCS (Post Concussion Syndrome) symptoms from a severe concussion I sustained in September of 2018. Things have been very rocky, uncomfortable, scary and downright painful for me and every aspect of my life has suffered as a result. This is all on top of my existing health and mental issues so it's been rough not going to lie, BUT I'm finally getting a handle on things and have really started to pull out of it for the better. Does this mean Ill come back to Tumblr? No, unfortunately, not at all. This site is dead to me after what happened with the NSFW ban, but I am still writing on Ao3 (Kirin_Riki) drawing and interacting with friends daily on my Instagram @kirin_riki if you want to keep in touch.
I stopped using discord and facebook largely because I don't have the emotional energy to maintain friend groups in multiple places anymore. Instagram is about the only place you'll be able to reach me outside maybe, the Berserk Amino (@Kirin_Riki). It has become my new home online, my community hub and besides posting NSFW to twitter under @kirinrikiart I don't plan on leaving. Once again ty for your support and appreciative comments even while I've been away. It still baffles me how much respect and love I've received from you all over the years and I do apologize for disappearing on the community, it was never my intent to hurt anyone's feelings or ignore anyone. Sad as it may be, I'm not an actual android overlord and have only got one very human life to live, and now more than ever, it comes first.
I wish you all a happy holiday season and please don't hesitate to contact me on Instagram, even if we've never spoken before. I am always looking to add likeminded friends to my life. Ai no Kusabi is and always will be dear to my heart, and so will all the stories and memories we created here together.
-Yours truly forever and always,
Kirin
