Powering Down for Good
((long post warning))
Hey folks, long time, no talk. Unfortunately, I’m here to bring you news that has probably been on plenty of people’s minds already due to our extended lack of activity....and something that I’ve personally been running away in saying.
From this day on, Nextale is DISCONTINUED.
No matter how much time as passed as we attempted to take our break, it still served as a toxic reminder of the drama we faced, the decline of our health, the confusion we had to things we weren’t used to, how dumb our decisions were and the repercussions that came from that, and furthermore, how dangerous it eventually became to Fire and I’s relationship.
Thankfully, that’s been saved and has been even better than before, but there was one thing we mutually agreed on: the shitstorm killed our love for this AU and we wish to never go back to it. We’re not the type of people to go back to something that’s proven to be toxic for us.
Additionally, we lost track of the story and just practically gave up. I will admit to the sin of over-ambition, as back then, that’s been a bad habit of the both of us, mine especially. We originally made this project to run away from things that were falling apart somewhere else...and to be honest, we did the same thing again, which is why I want to personally apologize for taking so long in pulling the trigger. Anyway you know the story: over ambition came and bit us in the ass. Hard.
Finally, life changes. Fire and I are wishing to pursue our lives and have been working more (I had to pick up two jobs), and not to mention, we’re also focusing a LOT more into our original projects and have taken up making a game, too.
However, our time at Nextale wasn’t always a cesspool of drama and toxicity.
When we were active, we had a good run! The beginning days were loads of fun when things got rolling, and we created tons of memorable events. I’ll never forget the day the fandom came together to help one person. TWICE, actually. I’ll never forget the sheer excitement we had when senpais noticed us, and how we would make a post just for a freakout <3 I’ll certainly never forget the time Fire and I answered over 1000 asks on the first day of popularity because we didn’t want to leave one ask unanswered....and that resulted in a few poor folks coming to our asks and asking us to ease up XD
Finally, neither Fire nor I will ever forget the connections we forged that still remain with us to this day, even when we moved on from the fandom. We met a lot of cool people, and shared a lot of memories. Here’s to those memories, and here’s to more in the future.
While we may be exhausted with AUs and the like, we’ll never let our love for what brought us together in the first place waver: the love for Undertale, itself.
Anyway, that’s about it for what I have to say about this.
If you still choose to see more of me and/or Fire in the future, then you can always follow us at our personal blogs: @moonphyr and @firereddragon. Of course....ONLY if you wish to do so.
Other than that, this will be our last post on this blog.
The blog itself will of course remain open. Thank you so much for the fun run, however short it was...as well as all the support, cool-ass fanart, and of course, all the memories and excitement we made.
Onwards towards the new future, and no matter what it is, we can’t wait to see what happens next.
-MoonPhyr and FireRedDragon
