Goodbye, Songbirds! Good luck and love is being sent your way from us and we hope for our paths to cross in the future. Hopefully, someday soon, you’ll be playing and enjoying the games we plan to create! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything. We had lots of fun and I hope you can continue to find great content with this blog, even if it’s only an archive!

Thank you for all the lovely farewells and we hope we were able to answer any last questions you had before we signed off. Farewell!

With all of our love,

Cirque & Geeke

Songbirds:

So, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here other than the usual updates. You’re probably all wondering what has been going on and why there was an influx of posts recently.

So... I suppose, it’s announcement time:

The truth is... I’ve thought a lot about this blog in the past few months. I’ve thought about why I started it, what it has accomplished, the friends I’ve made, and the people it has helped. It’s an amazing feeling. I started this blog just because I was looking forward to a game from a series and studio I adored. I never expected to gain over 16,000 followers!

I’ve had an amazing time getting to know many of you. It’s been an honor to reblog the work all of you have contributed to the fandom: text posts, edits, cosplay, art! You’re all such creative, amazing, wonderful people and you’ve made running this blog a part of my life that has influenced me in so many ways. Really, you are all so creative and both Geeke and I love our Songbirds.

So... this is where it gets hard.

I think that I’ve done what I’ve set out to do here.

It’s been a long time since the release of BioShock: Infinite, and this blog? It’s been up even longer. I’ve been doing my best to provide and share your creations to a large audience... and now, in 2015, I think it is safe to say that goal has been accomplished.

Recently, as you’ve noticed, I’ve been taking breaks; breaks that have only gotten longer and longer each time. Breaks that I’ve been using in order to keep myself grounded and healthy. The truth is, the breaks just aren’t enough anymore. While there are so many of you that support us and love this blog (and maybe even some of you love and care for us!), the truth of the matter is, there has been a large influx of negativity in the fandom. Negativity that I have seen here and negativity that I have personally been contacted about from other Songbirds looking for comfort and help.

I wish... I wish I could say I could continue this, but right now, that just is not what I can do.

There is a lot of other personal issues that are contributing to this choice, of course. School has become tougher, as we move into our fourth year, and Geeke and I just know that we can’t keep running this blog and take care of ourselves like we need to too.

The other issues are much more personal and neither of us feel comfortable sharing, but I hope you understand that we have to take care of ourselves first. We just aren’t able to be fully comfortable and keep the work needed for this blog up. It takes so much, much more than I think people realize, and when we run it, we are often stressed and have very little free time when it is paired with our other duties offline. We just want to be able to enjoy ourselves, to be really comfortable and happy.

On top of these factors, recently, I have been contacted by several of you who follow me on my personal blog, who have come to say you support this decision, as you have informed me that the fandom negativity and bullying has reached a peak. Many of you have also told me that content for the game has dwindled (also many of you have even informed me that the tags have become very NSFW and at times hostile), meaning that without an influx of content, we would be unable to run this blog in a way that would allow us as little stress as possible.

To those people, thank you for being honest and understanding about this. It truly meant a lot to us. I’m so sorry for the projects we weren’t able to complete and the giveaways that had to be cancelled. It’s been rough. Really, really rough. I wish it could be different and things could run smoothly, but we hope with all our hearts, that you understand.

So, with a heavy heart, we are officially retiring Fuck Yeah! BioShock: Infinite. It has been a lovely time and we are going to miss you. This blog will remain open as an archive, but we will not be assigning new mods and there will no longer be posts.

We are so sorry, to each of you, we love and miss you, Songbirds. Thank you, each and every one of you, for following us. Thank you for providing content for your fellow fans to reblog. Thank you for submitting. Thank you for your questions. Thank you for your theories. Thank you for your corrections, understanding, patience, and most of all...

Thank you, Songbirds, for your friendship and love.

What do you think Vigors taste like?

I can’t imagine very good. I always pictured something like salt water you mix for a sore throat.

Hey, so I just replayed the DLC's and was wondering, do you consider it canon? I mean, yeah logically it is canon but there are simply so many plot holes and things that weren't really necessary imo, and the ending of the main game was so right, I don't know why they felt like doing that in ep. 2, especially the ending Elizabeth got. One thing I didn't understand though is how she is the last one, when in the ending credits scene, we know there's a universe where Booker didn't give her up.

Neither mods consider the DLC canon as of the release and completion of Episode 2. You can read more about this in our FAQ.

Also, Ken Levine has stated many times that you do not have to consider any of the DLC canon and that it is up to the player. I’ve chatted with him a few times about the subject and he’s really chill about it, so if you’d rather ignore it, feel free. :)

Sorry about the influx of posts, we had to clear the queue and I didn’t want anyone’s hard work left out. Feel free to blacklist the blog or unfollow if you need your dashes cleared up!

anon asked: is there any chance you could do any bioshock infinite inspired iPhone backgrounds?

I’m getting around to emptying my queue of things that I wanted to make in ACNL- 

Here is something from the Bioshock Infinite Concept Art for the lovely Elizabeth.
