Yeah, you read that right. I'm going to be on a semi-hiatus until further notice. The main reason why I'm not calling it a full-blown hiatus is because I feel like that would imply that I'll be totally inactive on it, which could be misleading. Since this is a sideblog, I can still keep up with the shenanigans easily--I just won't be doing it at my usual pace. My reasoning for this boils down to two things, which overlap pretty strongly. The biggest one is burnout. Running this blog requires me to keep track of not only RPs, but also a main story and imaginary game mechanics, all of which tend to border on convoluted. I was expecting this to happen, yet I went ahead and did it, anyway, and sure enough, it's beginning to have an effect on me. If you've been following this blog from its inception, you'll probably understand where I'm coming from. The other reason is a lot more simple and relatable: shifts in interests. After about a year of nonstop obsessing over fictional turtles and Nintendo franchises, I'm honestly sort of feeling stunted creatively. Before a couple of weeks ago, I was happy drawing my favorite Koopas and indulging in a reformed version of my childhood. But lately, I realize I'm kind of short on ideas and inspiration. This I was far more afraid to admit because many of my current friends I met through this mutual interest, and I didn't want to start losing them because of a lack of something in common. As a result, I tried to put on a smile and get hyped like everyone else, but with no new interesting games until next year, it's becoming harder. Plus, thanks to my sister irl, something that was just a secondary interest had slowly become my new current interest. Whether that would stick around for long, it's too early to tell, but since I'm actually starting to draw and even ship again little by little, it has to mean something. Whatever the case, the fact of the matter is my reason for doing the things I enjoy doing have changed. I know I'll never stop being a Nintendo fan--I spend way too much money and time on their stuff--but I do want to move past that and do other things for the sake of my own sanity and creativity. I hope you all understand that, and I'm sorry if I let you down.
