OOC: A proper goodbye and thank you to all of you
((Hello to those of my followers who are still here for some reason!
Iâm back after almost a year to announce that unlike the other long sudden hiatuses Iâve had, Iâm not coming back from this one. Iâve simply lost my interest in this blog for good this time.
I started this rp blog after binge-watching the entirety of Yu-Gi-Oh! and falling head over heels for Ryou and Yami Bakura. That was four years ago, during the worst year of my life AKA my year abroad in England. And while it took another year before I started finding other yugioh rp blogs, all the roleplays I had brought a big light to my life that year, and afterwards all the roleplays Iâve had on this blog have been so fun and exciting and amazing and emotional!
So thank you to everyone Iâve ever interacted with on this blog, whether you were a funny anon, someone I only rped with once, or one of my deared rp partners! You all gave me such a fun and amazing experience here and I will never forget it!
Now, considering how I almost only had fun here, I should tell you the two main-reasons I still wonât be coming back to this blog:
I donât have the energy to commit to this anymore. Not including the stress of having several rp threads going on at the same time, I simply donât have the energy to write and focus on my muses and rp threads. I started uni a little over a year ago, and had to move out because itâs two hours away from home, and itâs been hard. Being independent (both in living and studies) has been really hard for me and has been sucking up my energy leaving me unable to commit to stuff like this blog or even just to my ask blog (askthenewlordofshadows).
Iâve moved fandoms. When I got into Yu-Gi-Oh! it became my main fandom, and both Ryou and Yami Bakura became my top two favorite characters of all time. My love for these characters was the fuel that kept this blog running. But last year I started watching My Hero Academia and it has since become my new main interest, and its protagonist, Izuku, has become my new #1 fav character. I wish I could say Iâm sorry, but I canât really control what my brain chooses to obsess over. Ryou will always be dear to me (Iâve even got one of DragonBeakâs body pillows of him), Iâve simply moved interests, and Iâm too tired to try and shift my attention back to Yu-Gi-Oh! for now.
If anyone is still interested in me or my content, my personal blog is @sketch-elf, and Iâve got an art blog called @elfy-sketches (tho I donât post a lot of artwork nowadays because of my aforementioned lack of energy).
Edit: I wonât be deleting this blog, btw! Iâll let it stay up if I ever wanna go back to it and look at it for nostalgic reasons.
TL;DR: Thank you to everyone Iâve interacted with over the years! Iâve had an amazing time roleplaying with yall! I wonât come back tho because Iâve moved fandoms and donât have the energy to commit to this blog anymore.
Ps. If anyone really, really wants to rp with me again, contact me on my personal blog, or on my discord, Elfy#4573. Iâm open to rping on discord, but Iâll be selective so weâll have to discuss it first.
