...So. This clearly did not age well. 
          	I have a few words to say about the most recent Pressure news...
          	
          	...I'm sure any Pressure fans here are aware of the issue with Zeal. 
          	
          	For those who are unaware, Zeal has been accused of a series of incidents with their former composer, Ren. It has been mentioned by Ren that Zeal has not only harassed but sexually assaulted Ren — there is a document online that Ren has composed that is available to read if you are interested. I will link a tiktok at the end for a brief summary of what happened. 
          	
          	I will NOT continue to write this fanfic — PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I DO N O T condone Zeal and his developer team for supporting him. 
          	
          	What Zeal has done is sickening, and I will not be supporting him at all financially. As a Pressure fan myself, I feel sick to my stomach hearing about what has happened and I will no longer associate myself with Zeal. As a fellow victim to assault and as a general human being, continuing this fanfic is... certainly a choice. A choice that I will NOT be making. Ren is incredibly strong for surviving what has happened with Zeal and I wish them a smooth recovery from everything. There are two chapters published today that I already had written. However, after this? No effort will be made to continue this or any form of oneshot related to the Pressure characters. Gianni and Artydoesstuff have made the better decision to leave the team, and I praise them for this. As for the fact that my name derives from this game, I will NOT be changing it. The name Sebastian is sticking, but I — and I cannot stress this enough — will not support Zeal or his developer team.

Now, some may say "separate the art from the artist", but that is not a thing I can in good health do. To separate the art from the artist is to continue to separate the art, which — in Roblox's case — still supports Zeal either way ESPECIALLY if you are a Premium user. I may not be a Premium user, but in continuing to play the game I would only further enforce Zeal's popularity. Until ownership of the game is transferred to a different developer that did NOT make an effort to hide Zeal's doing, I will not be producing or partaking in any form of Pressure content. 
          	  
          	  For those that are aware of Archive Catalogues, we are currently discussing what we're going to do with our version of Sebastian. Currently, we're thinking about switching him out for a similar character. What we know for certain is I — the person manning Sebastian for Archive Catalogues — will be pulling both he and p.ai.nter entirely from the series. I implore any other content creator to do the same, though I will not target anyone for continuing their interest in the game. 
          	  
          	  Pressure was a safe space for a lot of people from it was released, and I have to say it has most certainly come a very long way from it began. Zeal and his team have created a beautiful game, and I must thank the team for this — especially Ren. Ren has composed a wonderful soundtrack for the game, and I personally believe their skill is unmatched in the ambience they've been able to provide for Pressure. Pressure was something that got me through a plethora of hard times, hence the praise it has recieved in this part. However, despite this — as much as I love the game — I must abstain from being involved in its fandom. 
          	  
          	  Thank you for taking the time to read this, and goodnight.
          	  
          	  Sincerely,
          	  
          	  — Sebastian V. Stormcrow

Chat... I might actually start writing character x reader now. Gods help me my ADHD brain needs to stop with the ideas........
          
          On a different note, eccentric expenditure will be continued shortly. Because this is co-written with my boyfriend, a lot of the other characters mentioned in E.E. will have their actions dictated by himself and two of our friends. Chapter 4 is therefore put on hold for a while until I figure out how our favorite restoration project puppet (the wonderful Wally Darling) will worm his way into Sebastian's life. 
          
          Yes, there will be crackships. Yes, there will be overly detailed 'scenes'. Yes, I will provide chapter summaries for any chapters that get a little too gruesome/suggestive. 
          
          Prepare yourselves for this one, folks... Because our favorite fishy friend is not an easy man to crack open!
