I'm sorry that your blog had to end like this. I get needing to start anew and wanting your ideas to be the best they can be, that's why @poisonrozen created @despair-to-future-arcs as a reboot for @neo-world-program-moniter. I'm also sorry that you seemed to feel so isolated since February, and all of the bullying that has gone on for so long in your life. I'm glad you're alive after the devastation of Helene, and I'm just glad in general that you're alive. Even if @a-tale-never-told never comes to pass in any other form, I'll always be fond of the ideas and history that came with it. And if you do decide to bring it back in some way, I'll be there waiting with my own ideas and asks for these crazy kids. Either way, I'd be more than happy to be your friend, and talk with you as much as you please. I mean it

//Yeah. It truly is depressing, laboring tirelessly and churning out posts only for them to be barely acknowledged by anyone outside of my fanbase. In all honesty, I should really count my blessings that I'm even still being brought up in conversation by others who're relatively unaware of this blog's existence, instead of being disregarded and effectively reduced to an unknown.

//Even then, part of this feels like I hold some form of accountability for all of this since my mental instability has undergone a freefall into the pits of deluded fear-mongering, and I never even bothered to have a healthy conversation to disclose my personal opinions about the state of this blog and how others treated it. But if we're being completely real here, who even wanted to talk about this?

//I get it, I'm a bit mentally volatile when it comes to discussing the performance and expectations of the story, big whoop. In no universe does that justify me sardonically berating and harassing the individuals who constantly take time out of their everyday lives to listen to what I have to say, and formulate false perceptions of why the blog isn't accomplishing what it's supposed to provide. We've deviated so far from the original idea of what this blog was supposed to stand for, I find it quite amusing that it took me this long to address my shortcomings.

//Craving a sense of acknowledgment and validation from those around me is an integral part of what fully defines me as a person, and I never meant to come off as being a nuisance or filthy to anyone, but this was really the wrong way to go about it.

//For all of the systematic flaws within ATAT as a whole, I sincerely don't want it to suffer premature death or simply be vastly overshadowed and left to decompose into a pile of waste. Since there's nobody else within the Tumblr community pursuing the subgenre of alternate history as passionately to the extent that an entire blog revolves around it, it lies within me to deliver a model of content that is best suited to everyone's preferences.

//As you can probably tell though, these aspirations automatically did not equate well to gaining the approval of both communities. Nowadays, I'm far more invested in gathering proper evidence to support my hypothetical claims, hence why I have expressed my intentions to take the alternate timeline element much more seriously and in an informative and readable manner.

//In simpler terms, I'm pretty proud of the concept of analyzing and deconstructing various types of lore and offering insightful commentary on said lore, and why shouldn't I be? It sounds like a very engrossing and productive hobby, and there's a hidden market for that sort of genre on Tumblr.

//All in all, I don't necessarily agree with my previous stance, per se. But it inarguably provided quite an insightful look into just how warped my perceptions and idealistic, nonsensical expectations were for this blog. Looking at it, I see this as more of a learning experience to note down and serve as a constant reminder of what I could potentially accomplish instead of penalizing myself for every single misconception and error I promoted.
