hi!
this is a final post to say that from September 15th 2023, Solar Colony will be indefinitely be taken offline. there are a multitude of reasons for this that i will list now.
1) loss of passion
my ocs are something i hold very dear to me and probably always will, but having had these characters since i was 12 years old, i think its safe to say ive outgrown then a bit. i dont think theyre "bad" or "cringe", per se, bur i just have other interests now and it's just how things naturally peogress. my ocs are always something ill fall back on for comfort but for now, the interest isnt there. im sure it will come back sometime.
2) school
as school's been back, it's been absolutely taking everything out of me. 6th form is a hell of a lot more difficult to GCSE years and it takes up so so much of my time. with that being said, all the drive for writing and world building i had in previous years has been crushed by the need to get the vest grades i can. it sucks but, thats just how things go.
3) creative block
idk if this is due to school; but i cannot seem to get myself to produce anything of value, writing or art, especially around my ocs. my main special interest is My Chemical Romance and when i do have the time and energy to draw, I usually draw something to do with MCR for comfort and happiness. this isnt to say my ocs dont make me happy; but MCR is all i feel like creating stuff for rn.
i know i said id give a weeks warning, but, i lied. im not an idiot, and i know none of you actually care enough to read it, nothing harsh or salty, its just the truth. theres nothjng wrong with that, and im not blaming you, but what's the point in pretending like i have a fan base when i dont?
whatever. with that being said, in about 24hours Solar Colony will be coming offline indefinitely. i do not know if - or when - it will be back up, but you'll be the first to know.
that's all!
