I think I agree. It might seem small on the surface, but being recognized—even in that way—can mean a lot, especially when you’re starting out 💕

That’s a lot to deal with… I’m really sorry. You don’t need to share anything until you feel safe and ready. Taking distance and protecting your peace is what matters most right now 🫂

I like doing that too. It can feel a bit discouraging at times with how social interaction works online, but the right people always reply back—I genuinely believe that.

I’m still on break overall, just… not completely silent.

I’d appreciate not being asked for specifics for now, but thank you all for your patience and kindness. I’ll be back more fully when I’m ready. 💛 (3/3)

I’m still taking time to focus on uni and some personal stuff, and I’m working through a bit of burnout/anxiety at my own pace. That said, I realized I don’t really want to disappear completely, so I’ve been interacting a little when I can as a breather. (2/3)

So some of you might’ve noticed I’ve still been liking or replying here and there despite being on hiatus. I just wanted to clear that up. (1/3)

“I have to become a kind person, before my heart grows numb.”
— How-to Sekai Seifuku

Cynicism is easy online.

But as creators, it’s important to stay grounded, not push people away too quickly, and remember that kindness and boundaries can coexist.

That’s really awful. I’m sorry you and everyone involved are dealing with this. That’s a huge violation of trust and boundaries, especially with how personal these characters are. Wishing you all the best while you deal with this—no one deserves that.

I may still post occasionally, but I’ll likely be much quieter than usual while I sort things out and focus on life offline for a bit. (4/6)

I don’t intend to stop creating. If anything, I want to take this time to rest, refocus, and return with work that I feel genuinely proud of. (3/6)

Between the mental strain of my last university semester, an IRL situation that’s been weighing on me, and a lot of late nights thinking about where I want to go creatively, I realized I need to give myself some space for a while. (2/6)

I’m really glad you took the time for yourself and reflected with a professional. 🌱 Even a single session can be eye-opening and help you understand yourself better. Keep taking care of yourself—you’re doing the work, and that matters.

Take breaks when you need them! Sometimes it feels like the online world never slows down, but your well-being always comes first. Friends, communities, and fans will wait until you’re ready—this applies to anyone feeling the rush, not just creators streaming or posting content.

Decided to fight my anxiety today and finally sent my invite request for Archive of Our Own.

Fingers crossed the account setup goes smoothly so I can launch my Sonic AU fic soon. Wish me luck!

To all creators: Cherish the friends you’ve made along the way. Those connections are special.

But remember—what works for them might not work for you.

A healthy creator stays true to themselves, and real friends will respect that.

It’s not basic at all, it’s super cute! The strawberries & cream theme is adorable.

A friend offered to buy me a new mousepad and told me to pick one.

One is Shadow-coded.
The other is Blaze-coded.

Why must I choose between two characters I love 😭
