Going on hiatus when November ends
a month ago
General
Been feeling down half the time lately. All because of, if not limited to:
• Weather, yes it’s rainy af.
• Personal business, I have a job, and I help my dad drive him around a lot and it’s getting really tiring. 😒 Reason for that is his eyesight problem and balance. Ever since that foot surgery back in September 2023, he has to rely on me for all the driving. Very agonizing right now. My real job also applies more pressure, even though I enjoy it more than driving dad around as of now.
• I have a life outside FA. Truth be told, I have a hobby centered around model trains (mostly Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends). So I need to focus more than that aspect.
• Excessive autistic burnouts. I was almost to the point of “shutting my mind down”, whenever I’m trying to create something ambitious.
• Animal Crossing New Horizons doesn’t feel like the escapism anymore. Even though the 3.0 update comes out mid-January, I kinda don’t feel like the same level of energy when it comes to playing it, mostly because I have a real job now, which I don’t have the time to play the game anymore. Long story short, I miss 2020-2022 era of Animal Crossing.
• Seeing my favorite artists here dealing the same issue I’m having. Recently, Klutzatdusk is on hiatus after the Costober ‘25 flopped. And Nocheeseburger having to deal with constant stress. I feel very sorry for the two.
So, when the month ends, I’ll be taking a hiatus. To be frankly honest, porn is unhealthy and it’s tarnishing my brain. During then, I’ll return making art in February for FUTArary (I’ll also be working on that during the hiatus when I have the time).
I’ll pop in sometime in January to check-in and give out my plans, don’t expect much though. (I wanna purchase my favorite villagers as plushies to comfort me during bad moments)

And definitely spend some more time on your other hobbies too when making art starts to upset or burn you out!
New Horizons hasn’t been feeling the same to me too. I will be going back to my island to prepare it for the update in hopes that it’ll give me spark again! Even if it’s for a little.
But hey I’ll be okay, I’ve always been a stressed out person but I try to keep my head up to look for the positives!
We all could really go for a break though, like a fun vacation!
Please do take it easy and I think that would be nice to have some of your favorite villagers as plushies for comfort.
I’ve been learning how to make plushies myself so I can make my favorite villagers! If it all goes well maybe I could make you one of your favorites!
I do plan on taking a vacation in either April and/or June next year. Did take one in New Jersey for a train show back in August.
