I am officialy putting Gale and Astarion on low activity/highly selective status. There's only a few things both the boys are responding to regularly. I'm also gonna be purging my inbox because nothing in there is really speaking to me and I think cleaning things up will help a great deal with the overwhelmed anxiety I'm feeling over here.
What this means: I'm feeling burnt out and need to limit myself so that I don't lose the desire to continue one of my favorite hobbies. I still have muse for the boys here, it's just limited and I can't keep trying to write what isn't flowing for me. I'll probably be checking in on this blog two or three times a week and responding to things as I can find the muse until Gale and Astarion's voices grow strong again.
What this doesn't mean: I'm ignoring people on purpose or with ill intent, or that my struggle to continue our threads or start up interactions has any bearing on your writing/muses/ooc personality. This is a me thing, not a you thing.
I've been RPing online since I was 13 years old in CompuServe chatrooms and Yahoo!Groups when that was still a thing, and I'm 40 now. I know well enough when I need to step back and limit myself before I overwhelm/overstimulate myself and leave people disappointed, which just causes anxiety in me with my people pleasing ways.
If this means you don't want to continue things with me, that's fine. If you need to unfollow me for your comfort on your dash, that is fine too. I'd prefer a hardblock over a softblock, but if you softblock me and I see you on my dash without the mutual symbol I will likely unfollow as well (this doesn't count for sideblogs obviously since those don't really show up as mutual)
If you have questions about our stuff, please don't feel afraid to reach out. Either on Discord or IMs.
If you want to start something new with me, Tryckie Boi is very active and taking up the majority of my brainspace for writing at the moment. You can also find me on Wade and Logan over at @babyknifexworstlogan, who have their own Isekai-style BG3 verses. Activity there is still not as high as Tryck, but I am there more often than I am here these days.
Again, this is about me and my comfort and has no bearing on anyone else. I'll probably not be over here much on the weekend, we'll see how things go.
tl;dr - Limiting interactions over here and going to low-activity and highly selective status. It's a me thing not a you thing, please feel free to unfollow/block me for your comfort if you feel it necessary, no hard feelings.
