A Revival is Coming (big overall update)
a year ago
Heeheeheeheeeheeheeheeheee....... Welcome....... I see you have found this raptor's den........ Now Listen to what I have to say.......
Part 1: Status report
Finally, after ~6 months or so, I am coming back to reality at large, I feel like.
Yesterday was the day I finally stopped being so afraid of being seen as I am and instead have become more determined to continue to be the authentic, *real* me!
Now, I will probably keep the accounts I have the way they are, as I'm already invested and it just makes sense for my sake of organizing and etc.
But, going forward, I will be 100% the real deal, no hiding or faking who I am anymore.
I also have made significant cutbacks related to my activity on Twitter and although I am not discontinuing being there, it's going to be much less of a focus for me.
I am *almost* fully done organizing my ocs and their art, I just have to finish some final detail work and then I'll be all set to start shifting to creativity once again, which I'm super excited for.
Irl stuff continues and actually has been going decently. We did decide to postpone moving so I'm no longer in a big "gotta look through our stuff and whittle it down!" Mentality, although I still plan to continue with that in *some* capacity as it's engaging and somewhat fun for me.
We also have started getting back into gardening again and i am actually SUPER excited about it. We stopped trying to garden probably around like 2011-2012 once things got too busy for us to keep it up, but this spring, on a whim, we decided to pick it back up again and we have things underway. I might share things related to that in the future, we'll see. All I know is, last Saturday was the first time in forever I've *really* felt accomplished and HAPPY with myself, cuz we got soooo much done with the prep work and all that.
Part 2: Looking ahead
Firstly, I have some healing and self-repairing to do thanks to trauma and drama over the past 6 months. It's been really hard and I'm sorry to anyone who has seen any of it or has seen how I've been. Really not a happy time for me, but now that I'm focusing back on being myself again, maybe I can get over it all.
At the moment, I'm not *real* sure what the future is gonna hold. I plan to finish organizing and then I'm gonna get my characters on ArtFight reorganized and add in a few, then I'm gonna come over here n' tidy up, junk some stuff I don't wanna keep on here anymore, then from there, we'll see, I suppose. I do have a few main ideas tho:
-Discord, Telegram and FA are my primary 'hangout' spots, with Twitter being secondary. Toyhouse is basically my archive and all other accounts are most likely gonna be for lurking
-I have plans to revamp my discord server and get it up n' going again, and to create a second, all-new server that I am pretty excited about. Details soon on that
- I do plan to get back into art, sfw-only though (this does include vore and other non-lewd fetishes, tho, and I'm willing to do SOME nsfw themes, subject to my discretion.
-I also intend to return to doing writing and stories, both sfw and nsfw. We'll see.
-I've mostly decided against becoming a content streamer, at least not like a 'serious' one. I'd really like to someday but I don't think I can devote time to it rn. Same for YouTube content, I might experiment as just a hobby but we'll see.
What I Need from you all
The last part of this for now, what I am needing from all of you.
As you all have seen, I've been goin' through hell, to put it lightly. Spent a lot of time kinda hiding myself away n' dealing with a lot of negative experiences. I'm happy to be feeling better but I need a favor from you guys.
I need your help in building myself back up, putting myself and my ocs and life back on the radar again. I've been out of this for so long that I just get bogged down when I try to go and decide who to talk to or who I might wanna rp with, or what servers to hang out in.
I am trying my best to get back into the swing of things myself but it is *really* hard.
Some of the things that would help to have help with;
-finding new servers and spaces to hangout in (this is a big one cuz I keep trying to go to servers I'm in but I can never make up my mind, or the places I'm in are quiet whenever I'm around, or etc, which I know I can't control and it doesn't upset me *that* much, but still)
-chatting/meeting new friends (another big one for me, it's really hard for me to approach people at times because I don't have much to say or share with them. It would be a huge help having people come to ME sometimes, too)
-rp/etc opportunities (lately one of my biggest frustrations has been that I've gotten NOTHING done with a number of my rp partners.
The basic gist here is, I know *i* need to put effort in towards these things, and I do try hard to do so. The problem is I just keep bogging down and if I had you guys helping me, it'd be a HUGE weight off my shoulders, and maybe I could get back in the swing of things from there.
I just hate feeling like I'm stuck being the one who has to reach out to everyone, y'know?
Anyhow, Hopefully some of you can help with that. I would appreciate it
That should just about do it for now, so stay tuned for more coming soon!
I don't have any real timeline for when things are gonna happen and so on, I'm kinda just taking it piece by piece. I *will* have everything done by July tho, as I need to in order to partake in ArtFight this year.
For now tho, talk to you all again soon!
