Announcement time.
Hello to those of you who are reading this. I have something I wish to convey, but I’ll start off with the purpose of this post: I’m leaving the tumblr rpc for good. I’ve thought about this quite a lot, and I believe this is the right conclusion for myself. I might come back in a few months or maybe even in a year, but I will be deactivating all of my accounts in the next two days.
I’m leaving mostly to focus on my mental health. My depression often fluctuates and I don’t think I can bring myself to keep writing when I can hardly bring myself to answer IMs.
The other reason is because the rpc isn’t what it used to be. I’m not going to be here anymore, so I’m going to be honest about my thoughts and feelings. Years ago, there was a vibrancy to roleplaying. Nobody was afraid to mix series together, make silly plots, nor did it feel as divided as it does today. Sure, it was a chaotic time, but I had so much fun just being able to be free with what I wanted to do with characters. It just feels very divided. I don’t want that. People have been burnt by others and I think that’s potentially why groups don’t just band together, but it feels very much like a dictatorship sometimes. It’s not who you know, it’s who favours you in this community. All humans give into favouritism, that’s just how we function, but to see people sometimes try their best and still end up unseen is really tiresome. I’ve seen people come and go because of it.
I’m not blaming anyone in particular, these are just my observations across years of being here. Maybe things will change for the better at some point, but for now, there’s too much for me to be worrying about. I hope everyone has wonderful lives. Stay safe.
Haru, signing off for the last time.
