i am not entirely sure how to really BEGIN this post, but i'm going to try my best to explain the reasons for which this blog is now closed. i think i should probably start at the beginning. when the first ro9 launched, it was modded by myself and another person some of you might know as cleo. cleo was the concept and premise creator for the roleplay, whereas i was just a co-creator. i manned the blog as a moderator would, updating the lists and answering asks and putting in in terms of locations and the like. it came to be a mutual agreement between all the mods involved the first time to put the original roleplay on a hiatus because of the fact that we had no time to keep it as active as we wanted to. so it closed.
i was asked to relaunch after a couple of years of the original ro9 being closed and i gave the greenlight. and i shouldn't have, because i had no right to allow a relaunch without having asked cleo. it was a mistake on my behalf, and i'm owning up to it. i was never the creator of ro9, only someone who was helping cleo run it by just taking up the mod work when she couldn't. it was wrong to reuse the premise which cleo thought of without having asked for her permission first, and i really, really do apologize for any stress that i've caused her and all those involved.
it's something which i have discussed directly with cleo, and it is a mutual agreement between us both to close down the blog. i know many of you were excited for it, and are sad to see it go but i personally believe it is for the best, for both sides involved. both cleo and i want nothing more than to settle this in the best way possible and hope that this can all be resolved one day. please don't be discouraged, guys. i see a lot of people posting things like "prayer circle for ommy", and while i appreciate all this love and support, it feel as if it's extremely undeserved. :c
this certainly has not been the first arranged marriage roleplay, and it won't be the last, i promise. these things are universal in plot and i'm sure you'll be seeing one soon! so please don't be sad, or upset. while i understand why, i ask you all to understand where i'm coming from with this. and where cleo is coming from, too. i want no bad blood to be had. there exists none between both cleo and i, and i'd like to hope that whatever has been happening on twitter ( since i don't have one but i've caught whiff of things ) comes to settle, too.
with this i officially close this blog, and once again apologize with all of my heart for everything that has happened.
sincerely,
ommy.
