hello folks, i’ve been putting off making this post for a while in the hopes that something would change but i simply don’t think it’s going to happen. so.
SPHLVRAI is officially going on an indefinite hiatus.
i’m really sad to be saying at least a temporary goodbye to this project, as it’s something that brought me so much joy and creativity in its prime. however, i have a few reasons that i need to stop, or at least take a good long break. for one, i am no longer hyperfixating on hlvrai or spm, so creating content for them right now is more difficult and doesnt bring me the same joy it used to. i have also been struggling a lot with my first year of college, so i haven’t been creating much at all lately.
finally, and possibly the most prevalent reason, is that the hlvrai fandom is just...unbelievably hostile. it is extremely volatile and filled with a lot of people who are addicted to being outraged after spending too long interacting with strangers on the internet. it has gotten to the point where a lot of people want to be unreasonably rude and angry at people without having to feel bad for their own behavior. it’s too easy to forget the humanity of other people on the internet and turn to using them as punching bags, and the hlvrai fandom has encouraged that tendency within itself to a near unbearable level. i simply do not feel comfortable posting hlvrai-related content anymore.
with that said, i do want to thank everyone who followed or participated in the blog. the time when sphlvrai was active was one of the most fun, exciting, and creatively fulfilling periods i’ve had in a while, and i made a lot of art and music i am still proud of to this day. you have all been incredibly kind, and i couldn’t have asked for a better audience.
i apologize again for having to cut this story short. perhaps someday when things are calmer and i feel more comfortable. in the meantime, you can continue keeping up with me on my tumblr, @nbmudkip, as well as my twitch, nbmudkip, and my youtube, nbmudkip.
i wish you all the very best, and hope that we meet again soon on the road ahead.
lots of love,
aster
