tw: health not leaving scratch at all! just going on hiatus of sorts!! no worries i'm not leaving the platform but i am stepping back for a bit. i'm so sorry everyone. i love scratch and love roleplaying. but i'm not being fair to myself or others. i need to consider my health and those i rp with deserve more than excited rambles and then getting ghosted (sorry! ik i've gone quiet on a few people sometimes) i'll have a day or week of bursting excitement and activity, then rapidly drop and get disorganized and leave threads buried by accident due to health. it's not anything too serious, i have a weak immune system is all so i chronically get colds and stuff all the time or really tired. chances are i'll return around the holidays or early next year. My roleplaying will be put on pause. I will not delete my characters. and chances are on the rare weekend i'll use my tfc cats alicepaw and wispkit to still develop their characters. and i was especially excited to rp them so this break is a rough decision so i decided i'll still come back and interact with them. I will not be doing any more applications. I get excited and see a character or lore and pour my time into it. but in the long run, i do not have the free time to manage things. depending on health and mood, i'll also still use my precious bebe beans sereinsong, thicketbrook, cherishpaw, and gibbouskit i love them so much even tho i was merely planning applications but because of this hiatus i will not finish my lodestone application and as excited i am for a cradle litter, i won't be applying for misted. but i will be stalking the litters, winners, and family and threads still, even if i'm significantly less active. i honestly suspected i'd need to call a break after i dropped my saccharine application, but i thought i could pull through for lodestone and misted. why am I going on break/hiatus? well my health tends to decline a lot, and it was either use scratch in my free time when i was feeling great or irl stuff i had to do. and i have more irl stuff i'm particpating in lately, and at the end of the day, my real life fun comes before scratch fun, and my good health never lasts long enough for me to do it all i will be lurking around projects and comments happily hehe, you cannot get rid of me yet scratch i do want to apologize tho for those i've plotted with for character arcs and friends, and even tho they aren't real all my rp characters are dear to me and i wish i could develop them more. but i really need this break. this seems abrupt and i'm not really sure how else to put all this i just know i'm gonna miss my characters so much, but i'll just doodle them unfortunately this means my ideas for awakened, a wcrp i was really excited to host (along with many other projects like a persona debut, wc comic named wonderment, possible reboot of tecrp [wow a human rp!] are all indefinitely paused) ik people were really excited about awakened and i was happily making the kickstarter litter designs, but hopefully i can make the rp a reality one day. i'll likely post art for design practice and improvement. that's pretty much it, not sure if anyone is gonna read all this. again i'm sorry this is so sudden, but i'll still interact so feel free to message me. it's merely my roleplay activity slowing to like a 2-3/10 activity level, but i check scratch daily/every other day.
