Hello, it’s been a while.
I haven’t been here because the whole world and our country is in chaos and the last thing I want to do is log in here because my drive to rp on my Pokémon blogs has plummeted a hell of a lot, but I would like to make an important announcement.
First and foremost, I’m deeply sorry for those that are still waiting for their writober prizes since last year. I have no other excuses other than real life just got really real, everything is horrible and I can’t for the life of me focus on anything since this year had began to tumble. I promise that when I return, that those prizes will be the FIRST to get done, and that I’d you changed your mind on what you’d like in terms of prizes, please let me know. I’ll throw in something to compensate for this troubling time we all are experiencing at this moment.
The second and most important announcement is, unfortunately, very very late.
A few years ago (2?) I had made a call out post directed at @/writtenbyKaichu for calling someone out for whitewashing a character. I don’t want to bring up the name of the other recipient, but instead, I feel that I need to say this because I’ve reflected in it ever since I dropped off the face of the earth.
To Kaichu, Tian, and anyone else that was greatly upset by this, I want to say I’m very sorry.
I’m sorry for jumping the gun and accusing Kaichu of going after someone for something seemingly harmless (which in actuality white washing is very serious). I’m sorry for creating the call out post because I was not well educated about the topic, and that it was not my place to speak on it if I did not know anything about it.
I’m sorry you felt pressured and scared because of my doings, because you did not deserve the back lash you had. I can’t take away the pain for what I have said, but I will own up to it and learn more about how this topic can be very detrimental to a POC and the characters they play and create.
To those that follow me, please do your research on your character before you pick them up. It’s very important to understand why things like white washing is very bad.
To those that no longer follow me because of what happened: I’m sorry it took me this long to figure out what I said wasn’t ok.
To those that are reading this: Unless If you were very affected by the callout I made years ago, please don’t tell me “you’re valid” or accept this apology. It is not for you. It is for Kaichu, Tian, and for those that had been severely hurt by it.
If anyone can forward this post to writtenbykaichu, hisvanity, and anyone that was hurt by this, please do so. I don't wish to cause anxiety because of my presence, but I do care about what I had done was very bad and I'm looking to reflect on what had happened that day.
I don’t know when I’m coming back to pick up writing here again, but I wanted to put this here because I saw it as incredibly important. Learn from your mistakes, and try to correct people as best as you can.
I miss you all, but for my mental health in our world right now I must keep this blog on hiatus until hopefully the beginning of next year. Until then, please be kind to each other. Learn from each other. Grow and educate each other on sensitive matters, even if you don’t understand it get, it will in due time.
Sincerely, Ammy
To set the record straight, Kai and Tian weren’t the ones who started the callout post against the person who was whitewashing, I did. Kai and Tian were wrongly blamed for causing the whole situation and got all of the hate when it was in fact me. It’s something a lot of people didn’t ( and still don’t ) know even though Kai linked my post to their post and name-dropped me, but I was the one who talked to that person about whitewashing, I was the one who made the first post about it, and the fandom took it as an opportunity to attack Kai and Tian, and yet, for some reason, left me alone.
I am genuinely happy that you understand how bad whitewashing is now, and I definitely forgive you for your ignorance in regards to that topic now that you have educated yourself and have grown from it. There's more that I would be open to discussing with you in private, but at the moment, tumblr's ims are broken, and we all know how much tumblr is a functioning website, lol.
Hope all is well for you, and please make sure to stay safe and happy and healthy!
