Chapter Text
I don’t have very many followers, so I feel kind of silly doing a post on this, but maybe it’s good to give a final update here.
I don’t usually like giving out information about my real life online, but I feel like my actions will make more sense with a bit of context.
I’m seventeen, by this fall of 2024 I would have been a senior in high school… if I hadn’t graduated a year early due to taking extra classes online. But I did graduate early.
And now it’s time for me to go to college. Choose a career. Take up responsibilities and become a real person.
I’m busier than I ever was before, and I feel almost sick with how many things I need to get done and prepare for. I feel like I’m outgrowing a lot of the things I used to do, like writing/reading fanfic and making aus and fanart. I know that adults can still enjoy those things, and there’s nothing *inherently* bad or childish about enjoying that stuff, and if you’re an adult who finds relaxation and community in fandom, there’s no problem with that. More power to you, honestly.
However, for me, fandom/fanfic is too linked with the ‘me’ that’s a kid. I cherish those memories, but they’re the past. I can’t afford to hold onto that anymore.
That said, I still enjoy the shows, and I’ll still keep up with them, but I feel weird being so invested in fandom now. It isn’t the same.
To everyone that liked the stuff I’ve made, you were the joy in my life for many years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And I’m sorry that I couldn’t deliver more.
I probably won’t post here ever again. Goodbye.
