Blog Name Change
Hello everyone!
If you’ve been following me on other socials, you’ve probably seen that I’ve been slowly going around and changing my handle to ShanniePie (or renditions of it) over the last couple weeks.
What put me over the fence to change it?
This has not been an easy change for me, to be honest. ChiefofPigs has been my handle everywhere for the last 10+ years, the majority of my internet social life. As hard as it was to accept, my innocently chosen username when I was a teenager has been becoming less and less PC with each year that has gone by and I am wanting to be respectful to how my name may be construed with different backgrounds and lifestyles.
There are some accounts that I am unable to update my handle and I have spent too much time on to start fresh (e.g. Spotify, reddit, etc.) so you may see me around with the old name in a few places.
What am I wanting to be called now?
I’ve been going by Chief for so many years now, it honestly would be strange to hear myself called as anything else. As this nickname isn’t inherently wrong, please feel free to still call me Chief. I’m just adding Shan/Shannon going forward!
What are some other changes I’m making with this name change?
I’m wanting to live as stress free as possible going forward this year, as well as thinking about things positively. With this, I have deleted all of the writing requests in my inbox and won’t be accepting fic requests outside of special events where I feel I am ready for the task. I wasn’t getting to any of the open requests, and the constant guilt of not making myself work on them sat heavily on my shoulders. It means a lot to me that so many people entrusted me with their requests, but I’m not in a emotional state where I can do them for some time.

As is typical with a blog name change on Tumblr, all of my masterposts and internal blog links are currently broken. Please be patient with me while I make my way through them in the coming week. I’m also going to be going through all my fics and adding my new post header to each one for future ease. A lot of TLC is needed on my blog for a hot minute, but hopefully it will be better than ever when I get to the other side!
Thank you all for the love and support over my time in the Ikemen series fandom, as well as my old friends from the NMS fandom. I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have if I didn’t have friends to help me feel my time and effort was worth it. Every message and tag in reblogs I receive makes me incredibly happy and it helps push me forward every day.
Happy New Year!
Shannon ♥ ♡ ♥
