This will be the final post for this blog.
I know that it's officially Ben's first year anniversary today, and in a way, I figure it's something of a fitting time for this post to be made. I've been thinking about it for some time now, but to be honest I wasn't sure.
Over the past several months, things have become increasingly difficult to run this blog. The environment around it has becoming more and more toxic as time passed, and while some things remain good and were at the point of improving, like Norma and Emily coming back together again, I feel that there isn't much point in this blog remaining open if Ben, and his storyline, are not allowed to flourish.
It would be different if he was structured more around asks, but the fact is that they are very seldom received and he has not thus far relied on them for his development.
But the main fact is that things have not come to pass in such a way as to allow him to grow. I had been excited for my plans for him, but they don't seem possible anymore, not in this medium.
This is nothing more than an artistic and a personal choice made by myself. I still love and care about Ben very much, and have for more than a year now. I wouldn't be surprised if he resurfaced in some other medium someday.
But not here, and not in this group any longer.
If you're still around, thank you from the bottom of my heart. My gratitude for you and your support is sincere.
Thank you, and goodbye.
