wait... you're leaving? 🥺

Doing an off-schedule post to answer this:

Unfortunately, yes...mostly.  Due to the amount of frustration I’ve been going through just watching the promotional pictures of Rings of Power come out bit by bit, I decided it would probably be best to take a break from social media once it’s released, since despite all my best efforts I can’t manage to keep the drama off my feed.  So that means I’ll be stopping my regular posting on this blog once September comes and I start spending less time online.  I’m half dreading and half looking forward to it, because while I’m really going to miss the feedback and the sense of community, I’ll also have a chance to really get over the partial art block I’ve been dealing with for almost an entire year without feeling guilty for not having something to post multiple times a week (and it’ll also also be a chance to sort of get out of my own head and not be so much a slave to needing access to the internet every week).

However, I’m not entirely leaving Tumblr, not right away for sure.  And I’m certainly not deleting my blog.  I’ll still be checking the askbox and replying to direct messages and stuff, and once in a while I’ll probably be posting something if I’m particularly happy with it.  But I won’t be keeping up a regular queue anymore (unless I end up coming back again later).  Right before I leave I’ll be posting a comprehensive list of what I will and won’t be doing during the hiatus, just so everybody knows.  In the meantime, here’s Pippin.
