This Needs Addressing
Hello to all of you,
As you may all know, I am Admin Ash. For those who don’t, I am one of the main moderators in this blog.
As you may all know, this blog has been inactive for quite sometime and even though requests and questions keep coming in, no one is really getting responses and for that, I apologize. I realize that the last post in this blog was done more or less nine months ago and since then, we have been very inactive. From my part, I have a reason.
As many of our old followers know, last year I was caught in a very bad car accident, though I was unharmed it did take a toll on my family and I leading for me to give up my opportunity of going to study abroad. During this time as well, I found myself caught in a big fight with a very good friend of mine due to a dumb comment on a kpop post. Due to this fight and the ever growing toxicity of the fandom in general, I distanced myself from the entire kpop scene. I may have already addressed this, but I feel as though you guys need the full story.
I still supported my top groups, but I loathed and hid from it. I decided to take on new hobbies and interests in hopes to pull through. Not too long after, due to the issue of my accident my university called me and informed me that they were going to offer me a new chance to go study abroad. Rather than aiming for Europe, I decided to come to the States; where I currently reside. During this time of recuperation, I refound my love and interest for video games and with one of my closest friends, we became very involved in gaming. As I became more and more involved in the community, I completely forgot about what had happened with kpop and one day I caught myself not skipping a song; this is when I decided I wanted to write something, which I did but once I logged into tumblr and saw the same toxicity that I had left, I got frightened and just stashed away my writing yet again. Tumblr in general became so toxic, I just left it alone. I didn’t want to come back here, ever. I do occasionally reblog something but that’s it. I am in no communities or anything.
I, currently, am residing in Colorado studying and working. I have never been happier. I am training for recreational ice skating and I am pulling through. During a long bath, I caught myself thinking about the future of these blogs and I couldn’t find an answer. Those who I met here and have kept contact with me know that I would never ditch them, but in the case with Sky and myself, we got distanced. Sky and I are polar opposites and while I was very involved in my university life, she was involved in her personal life; something I respect. In the short chats we have had, we never discussed the future of these blogs and at this point I feel like neither of us will ever have an answer. Which I will officially announce my retirement as a writer in this blog. I am not abandoning the blog or anything, I will continue to moderate it in Sky’s name if she decides not to continue working on it or decides to hang her mittens. We really tried to work through thick and thin, but it was not working out. This blog has so many nice memories that I will forever cherish, but memories are just that and I cannot hold myself back for them. The future of this blog will continue to remain uncertain until Sky and myself come up with an answer.
I believe that this post has become lengthy enough. From today, November 11th of 2017, at 9:01pm mountain time, the ask box and submission box will close until further notice. Until we decide what is to happen, we will not continue to raise your hopes with a return. Thank you for the support during all of this time. I bid my farewells.
With love,
Admin Ash
