Mini hiatus through Thanksgiving weekend! 

Hate to do this, guys, but this year I’ve moved back to my hometown and that means tons of guests and social obigations this week (I’m American and it’s Thanksgiving week).  I know this will disappoint some of you and I’m really really sorry, but I promise to be back to Tumblr regularly after this weekend.  

If you’re a close mutual with whom I interact outside of Tumblr, you can probably still reach me late evenings (after 10 pm EST) on Skype.  

Status of all my rp blogs:

Simm Master: active
Thirteenth Doctor: partial hiatus until Series Eleven release
Jim Moriarty: temporary full hiatus
Gabriel: partial hiatus
Loki: partial hiatus
Castiel: indefinite full hiatus
Diana/Wonder Woman: indefinite full hiatus
Pitch Black: active for the month of October only

I realize how many people this disappoints. I live to please others and I need to step back from that self-destructive habit, especially with hobbies.  Please do not guilt me over this, even passively. People have already done so and it makes me incredibly sad. Understand that this is a necessary step toward my better mental health.


Partial Hiatus

I hate to do this when I’m actually off work until January, but I am just way, way over-exposed to this hobby right now, and I am fried. The below rules apply to the hiatus and may in some cases become permanent rules.  

1) Please HOLD ALL threads until I lift the hiatus. If you can’t wait, and need to drop them, I am cool with that. In fact, starting fresh might be nice. Occasionally, if someone is doing an event or a spontaneous open starter, I MIGHT reply to that.  But nothing long.

2) Closely related, please DO NOT SPAM ME WITH STARTERS FROM THE SAME MUSE.  Especially if I have not replied to earlier starters that you have already written for me.  I love you enthusiasm, but I cannot keep up with your energy and productivity and I feel extremely guilty as a result.  

3) Please CONTINUE TO SEND ANONS AND ASKS, ESPECIALLY  FOR META. These are always fun and low-maintenance.  I feel like people have stopped doing this lately and it’s the ONE thing that I can handle, lol.

4) Please STOP IM’ING ME.  I’ve noticed that 90% of my mutuals do not abide by that specific blog rule. I really get bad anxiety, and I have never liked Tumblr’s IM system (If I wanted to IM people I would log on to Skype or Discord). IMing is a way different energy from Asks and reblogs.  And I’m finding myself kind of.  Buried under. In people’s IM’s the past couple of months.  Please don’t apologize if you are one of these people: I LOVE your friendliness! <333 But if we could IM only to plot threads, and use Asks for other chatting, at least just for right now, that’d be awesome ❤

PSA:  Saturday, July 28, our internet is turned off and Monday, July 30, we’re moving.  I don’t expect to be back online except briefly, on mobile, until August 4-5.  

Please understand that I will be unable to do drafts or Asks during that period. 😦  Hopefully I will be back by the end of the week.

I will try to install Skype on my phone to keep contact with close mutuals.

//Update: still sick with an intestinal infection, waiting on the doctor to read my lab specimen results and put me on antibiotics already because it takes WEEKS for this particular bacterium to clear out.  I’m weak and dehydrated and brainfoggy so I apologize immensely for my big chunk of absence again 😦  

However happy Pride Month and hang in there, I will return, hopefully in a matter of days when the meds have begun to run their course.
