This blog is now on permanent hiatus.
[ooc; I was going to wait until after my vacation to do this, but itâs taking longer than expected for us to leave, so. Here I go.
Iâm putting Orihimeâs blog on permanent hiatus, effective immediately. The only reason Iâm not deleting it is because I would love to some day return to her muse, if I ever start feeling better about roleplaying her, and I wonât be archiving the blog because Iâll probably just restore the same blog. I donât see the point of deleting it or remaking when thereâs nothing wrong with it.
Those who have been following me for a while know that Iâve been really struggling for the past six months or so, in all areas of my life. Roleplay is no exception, and while Iâd like to say that itâs an enjoyable hobby for me, it more often than not turns out to be a burden. I canât do everything I used to be able to do. I see people interact with people who have hurt me and/or my friends, and I canât say it doesnât deeply affect me. When I come here, Iâm uncomfortable most of the time, and not just because Iâm worried about how my followers will react to my writing.Â
Additionally, Iâve been as outspoken as I can afford to be about issues that affect me and my friends⊠yet it seems like it never makes a difference. The same issues â bigotry, harassment, and general disregard for othersâ needs â appear over and over again, so Iâve given up even trying to address them for the most part. All the same, they still affect me.Â
Something had to give. Iâm sad that it had to be this blog, since I love both Orihime and my ships, but Iâm doing damage control. I want to enjoy my hobby again. If that means giving up one to save the other three, then thatâs what Iâll do.
For those of you who have me on Skype, Iâd love to continue threads or start new ones (whether with Orihime or another one of my muses â including muses that no longer have blogs, or never did!) All other threads are dropped, though, since I donât know if/when Iâll be coming back.Â
You can find me at @marigoldsandpoetry, @audeamusguardiare, or @earthseveringwind. Those blogs are also currently on hiatus, but Iâm hoping to pick up activity there again soon.
Thanks for the good times. Sorry I couldnât be stronger, or better.
