PSA
So I realized that there are several big reasons why I am not active on my blogs. I do work, but I also generally have some time most days where I could rp, if I really wanted to.
The pressure to rp is what keeps me from doing so. I’m afraid that I can’t keep up with my dash, and that I can’t provide the quality replies that you’ve come to expect from me.
More so than that, I’m afraid that in my absence, most of my partners have moved on. I’m starting over from scratch every time I log on, and it’s tiring and disheartening trying to rekindle a thread or relationship with old partners that just aren’t interested anymore.
It doesn’t help that Jason has become such a popular character, and there are literally dozens of blogs I could list off the top of my head that play him well and consistently. I’m by no means undermining my own portrayal, since I’ve become comfortable with my way of playing Jason, but I know that there are other portrayals others may and have chosen over my own if only because they are more reliable.
For these reasons, I will be archiving this blog, and likely will not return. Should I ever choose to play Jason again sometime in the future, chances are I will make a new blog and start fresh.
However since I do still want to rp, I will be moving to my OC blog. There I will unfollow almost everyone that I no longer interact with, and will start fresh with new partners. Hopefully this will take some of the pressure off of what should be a fun hobby, and I can start rping at a more comfortable pace, and in a manner that I can enjoy.
tl;dr: see bold.
