Hi GFI Family,

As the original founder of Guilt-Free Icons, I want to personally apologize for the long periods of silence you’ve had to endure from me and my fellow mods. We know this isn’t a job or anything, but we also know how much this blog meant to the roleplay community as a whole, and we don’t take that or your support for granted. We get that it was likely frustrating that we offered ways to reach us but seemed to disappear without warning.

With that said. I assure you this was not intentional. I am not here to put anyone on blast. But I’m sure it was obvious that Pebbles’ departure was sort of last-minute for all of us, and this is not her fault. She had every right to make that decision. But it did put a lot of pressure on myself and Bubbles-mod, and I’ll remind you that while at the time Pebbles-mod had plenty of her own things on her plate, she still had the most time to icon for GFI as Bubbles had a lot of responsibility for work as well as outside of it and I suffer from chronic pain & frequent hospitalizations.

At the time though, we were still planning to continue with he blog as close to normal as possible. We found new moderators & continued iconning. There are, in fact, quite a few posts in our drafts right now. However, plans were being made to try to get my health under control. Bubbles was making major life changes as well. We both thought these things would only take a few months, and that taking these months off would give us time to reorganize the blog. But I think you can guess that these things didn’t pan out. I won’t speak for Bubbles, but on my end, my health kept acting up, thus pushing off treatment. And then came March, which I think changed just about everyone’s plans.

So, perhaps you can guess where this brings us. This is more difficult to write than I can properly express, but Bubbles and I have decided to archive and retire Guilt-Free Icons for good. This is not something that will be up for debate or even a thing that can be solved by more moderators. Simply put: we are tired and emotionally drained. After everything that’s happened, we both found ourselves unable to even icon just for the fun of it, even all these months later. Even if we did have new moderators, how could we possibly expect to open back up when iconing, which used to be fun and relaxing for us, feels like a chore?

This is not the fault of anybody here. But in order to best allow ourselves to heal, we need to let go of the looming self-imposed responsibility that’s hanging over our heads. We need to truly give ourselves a break. An indefinite one. Bubbles & I have some interest in doing this again someday, but if we do, we want it to be because we’re passionate and excited about it again–not because we feel like we have to.

So, family, I hope you will support us. If not, I hope you can at least understand us. I cannot thank you enough for being on this journey with us for so long. All of our icons will be left up for you to use, but we will no longer be maintaining links, so if they’re dead, I’m sorry to say that they’re just lost. So make sure to save & backup what you love, okay?

As always, I wish you guys all the best. Be well & be safe out there.
