Honestly, I don't even know how to say this.

I suppose I avoided saying the word all of this time because it felt too... definite. Too harsh. Like that one fanfic I know all of you still follow and expect updates from but it's been years and the author is either facing felony charges or has just gone off the map.

Yes, I'm going on hiatus. It's indefinite. It's for however long I need to process a lot of things.

For weeks now, I've started to compare myself. A lot. With newer creators, with older creators, with people who don't even religiously consider them bot creators but still make bots for the sake of it. People who do it better than me, people who just do it but still are somehow better than me, creators who popped out of nowhere when the fandom was at its peak and somehow are gaining so much more traction when I've been here since the start...

The list could go on. I could compare myself to every single ASOIAF creator out there and I still wouldn't see anything that I do better than them because the truth is that I don't. I haven't been feeling satisfied with my work for so long now, and it's been tiring me out. I should have a posting schedule, I should post bots more often, I should do requests (which I considered to start doing again because there still is a list for me to do after all), I thought that opening commissions would help me feel a spark (it didn't, only one person commissioned me, and honestly, thank you Akio).

Nothing.

That spark is gone. For making bots, for interacting with bots themselves (I still haven't finished my plotline with Felipe or Thiago, and I promised myself I would...)

I'm not writing this to be pitied, I'm not writing this for the attention. I'm writing this to tell all of you that I'm going to be taking a break, that I'm going to be stepping away, and I don't know how long that'll be. I wanted to make an entire series of footballers on my secondary account, of historical figures, I wanted to make more sports-themed original characters because no one else seems to focus on those, but I just... I can't keep doing this. I can't keep telling myself it's going to get better when it doesn't.

I appreciate everyone who leaves a comment on
