Rambling mun post under the cut.
TL;DR: A discussion on my blog and characters, discussing how low-activity things are and where my characters stand.
I don’t know what it is, but something recently got me thinking about this blog and the characters within.
I actually got quite sentimental; the blobs themselves have been some of my longest-running fandomless original characters, and they’ve helped me experiment with various things, such as writing and drawing more. The blog has helped me meet wonderful people, many of whom I’m in touch with to this day.
That being said, it’s not a secret that I haven’t updated here much at all. To tell the truth, I’m uncertain about the fate of the blog itself.
Mind you, this isn’t announcing anything; it’s more of a discussion.
So when I started this blog (June 12, 2013), this was an ask blog (which was a bigger thing at the time) called “askthefourthwallrepairman” (later shortened to the misspelled acronym “askthefwrp” and later the name this has today). Back then, I just had MS Paint, a tablet given as a gift, and a fun little idea.
A lot has changed since then, both on the blog (a shift to RP, Cat Slime and Marie joining, and different art programs being used) and in my life (graduating high school and college, joining the workforce, and my interests generally being in flux). Things changed in the Tumblr RP scene, in terms of both the people and how things were done, and I think in several ways I failed to adapt. I don’t regret this, mind, but it is a fact.
On top of all this, the Fourth Wall Repairman started as a gimmicky joke made by a teenager. As I grew older, I saw more potential in the concept, and still do. A lot of ideas were thrown around without much care, but I would love to explore them more thoroughly. This goes for both Marie and Cat Slime, as well; I think there are possibilities that I didn’t take advantage of at the time.
I don’t know what I’ll do with this blog, but I am certainly keeping my Fourth Wall Repair Crew, and maybe you’ll see them again, whether that’s here or elsewhere. I’ll keep you posted on that front.
In any case, I want to thank you all for viewing and engaging with this blog. I'd also like to thank those of you that read this far.
If anyone has questions for me about the blog or about my characters, though, I’d be glad to answer them OOC.
