Here I am, after like- a good while. I’d make a witty joke like I usually try to, but I’m just gonna get straight to the point here: This blog is done posting in-character. I’d be like “oh yeah, it’s on an indefinite hiatus! There’s a chance I may come back!” But yeaaahhh no this thing is done. I know that sounds kinda sarcastic and gloomy, but I’m not really quite sure how else to phrase it? Kinda just got to rip the bandaid off.
I don’t want to make this post too long, so there’ll be an explanation for everything under the cut. Just know that nobody did anything; just to sum it up: the blog started as a passion project that was supposed to just be for fun and morphed into something that stressed me out and just wasn’t as fun as it used to be.
Don’t get me wrong; being active here was amazing. The community was great, everybody was so supportive and nice; and I genuinely thank everybody so so SO much for just being here. It’s just time for me to take a step back from this blog so I can look back at it as a positive experience instead of a stressful one.
But anyways, Thank you all so much for being here while this blog was active. I couldn’t thank you all enough.
Alright, under the cut now. Time for long explanations, yayyyy!
So… I guess I should start at the beginning of this blog?? I made it back in May, around the end of the school year (there was probably a month left of school and that was it.) I had been thinking of creating something like this for a while, but I had finally gotten around to it then. Anyways, things went well for a while, then that first hiatus was taken…that happened a few days before school was meant to end, and of course I wanted a smooth transition into the summer, but there was also something else; I wasn’t prepared for the amount of work it took to manage the blog. Of course, I could do it all, I just underestimated everything. So, that hiatus was also me buying time to catch up on asks…which basically didn’t make it a break whatsoever. That was kind of the first big example of me treating this whole thing more like something I HAD to do instead of something I was doing for fun.
Then, we got back from the hiatus. I had lots of posts queue’d, so I let myself relax a little and draw up asks at a bit of a more leisurely pace. But it turns out I was posting faster than I could finish an ask, which led me back into finishing an ask an hour or two before it was supposed to post and just being tired the rest of the day until I started the cycle over again. Eventually, in late June, I started feeling the effects of everything. Stress was really building, I had a bunch of other projects I couldn’t work on because I was focused on the blog, other personal life stuff, and of course I was starting to actually injure my arm/wrist.
Because of all of that, I decided to finally slow down the posting schedule. For a couple days after that I did something I hadn’t for a while: just rest. Of course before this there were more lazy posts that were just sketches or one frame that let me rest more than usual, but I was still always working on something. So just taking a couple days to just chill out was really great. And then as soon as I started getting to work again: the whole “wrist injury” thing happened.
Of course, because of that, I had to go on the second hiatus to let it heal. And during that time, I looked back at my work ethic. That led me to this realization, that I wasn’t really treating this whole thing in a very healthy manner. It was the “fun thing morphed into stress thing”, all that stuff. But also during my forced break, I actually ended up getting a new fixation and I started focusing less on uty. I realized this a couple days back, and that was kind of the final straw that had me make the decision to stop posting in-character here: I wouldn’t be able to portray the character decently anymore. Of course I still love starlo and the whole uty cast dearly, it’s just that I may not be able to act in-character accurately anymore. I know I was kind of ooc before, but I still had a good grasp on the characters (I think). I could go and not have a set schedule for posting, give myself breaks whenever needed, and overall have fun with this blog again, but I wouldn’t be portraying the characters as accurately as before. I wouldn’t be doing them all justice. (pun intended)
That’s about all I’ve got— thanks for reading this whole big thing lol. Sorry if it comes off as a bit of a rant, that’s not really what it’s supposed to be; supposed to just explain why I’m leaving so it doesn’t just look like I dropped off the fact of the earth. Also, reiterating what I said above, thank you all so much for all of the support and everything; this was really fun while it lasted.

I come bearing important news: Posts are going to become less frequent here, changing from a post every 2-3 days, to 1 post a week. (As well as the post window changing from 10-11am to 10am-12pm but that’s not as important)
Due to some changes in my personal life, I’m not quite able to keep up with the fast posting schedule that this blog has currently. Along with that, I feel like the more recent posts have been rushed, so it would be good to have more time so I can make better content for you all. There will probably be special exceptions from time-to-time where posts speed up again temporarily, but it will always return to the slower schedule.
I thank you all for being understanding, and also for your support. Seriously— I thought I’d get little-to-no attention with this, so the amount of people who interact and enjoy the blog is astounding. So, once again, thank you.

*I mean- I’ve seen a buncha versions of my friends on ‘ere, but it’s a bit different when meeting ‘nother version of yerself!
Starlo nervously chuckles and fidgets with his bandana, figuring the interaction was becoming a bit awkward already.
*Uh- well it’s a pretty nice blog ya got goin ‘ere! Plus, the flower’s plenty pretty!
✩ The star looked away. he... was unsure how he got here, a bit confused. Was this like that other guy...? Okay, this one seemed a little more like him but... oh, he looked so nice! This Starlo made him feel... a bit envious. The person he could have been if not for...
"...Howdy, other me!"
✩ He hesitated. Oh, so this one had one of those... 'Underblogs' too. Fun. Kind of odd how the other could figure that out... geez, was that app why he was here? Shit! He fidgeted with the flower, careful to make sure nothing fell off of it.
"...Why- thank you...? People have sort of stopped saying that on account of the thing... uh... ya know. Decayin' and all... but thanks anyways."
✩ Well, yeah that aspect of the flower was pretty uh... important.
*I mean, I don’t got one, so ya gotta think that I’d be pretty cool from my point of view!
*Well- maybe if I taped an echo flower to my face or somethin’…I’m gettin’ off topic here.
*Whatcha got there is pretty damn impressive- even if it’s decayin’ or somethin’. It’s still alive, and that counts for somethin’, right? Better than nothin’!
The air of the wild east was still faintly tense as ever. It had been a few months since that human came through - changing a few residents lives for the long haul.
As of late, a young fox monster has been watching from the sidelines, sitting between the horizontal posts on the fence bordering the entire town, but never entering. Well - until recently, of course.
They finally got the courage, and were presently skipping class to explore the Wild East, admittedly with hopes of talking to the one and only North Star. Their idol. Something about him was just... magnetizing.
Anyhow, the young monster wandered around, the odd sense of familiarity coursing through their very being.
-@cowfolk-reborn
The Saloon was as lively as ever. Moray was on stage preforming music for everyone, Dina was making great drinks (as usual), and everything was like it should be. But, North Star felt like something was off.
He’d had the feeling all day, but had tried to play it off for the rest of the gang. He hadn’t really had the chance to stop home, but besides for that it was a normal day; Star couldn’t pinpoint what was up. Maybe he was just tired or something, but he still couldn’t shake it off.
He looked around and decided that he didn’t want to kill the mood of the place just because of an odd feeling. So, he paid for his drink and left some extra G for the feisty four, and quietly slipped out of the saloon.
Making his way outside, Star’s breath hitched as he caught a familiar sight. Was that…? Adjusting his glasses, he realized that it was just a monster in wild-east style getup. Seeing the kid wandering around seemingly not really knowing where they wanted to go, Star figured that he may as well do the Sheriff’s duty and make this newcomer feel welcome.
“Well, howdy Partner! Ya’ look new ‘round here, so welcome ta’ the Wild East!”
[* They looked up for a second - eyes widening and tail starting to sway as the young monster chuckled. They hadn't expected to run into- well, anyone, other than the few tourists also wandering outside.]
"A-Ah- Are.. Am I... Oh- screw it- Look, y'er... Sheriff North Star, right? 've, been watchin' for a while- Ma wouldn't let me come here, 'til recently."
[* They seemed pretty nervous - and basing on the behavior, there was a definite hint of idolization peeking out from those glimmering, hopeful eyes. Though, there was also a strange feeling coursing through the Fennec monster - being this up-close with him.]
[* Other than that - the mistaken identity was... understandable. Their outfit was rather similar to... Clover's, in a couple ways. As was their hair - nearly the same color, though differently styled.]
[* There was definitely something off about this kid.]
*And- glad ya’ finally made yer way over if you’ve been wantin’ to come for a while!
*Either way, ya’ already seem ta’ know my name, but I figure I’d ask for yours!
North Star extended his hand to the young monster for a handshake; that’s something he learned from Dalv, supposedly you were supposed to use it when meeting new people— or something like that.
He couldn’t help but be a bit bashful at how excited the kid was to meet him. Of course he was used to the usual excitement of people, he was the sheriff after all— he even helped build this humble town from the ground up! He was used to people having a bit of idolization— but this kid? They reminded him of Clover when they first stumbled into town, so full of awe— Stop it, Star.
He cursed himself internally at the thought. He can’t just be comparing random people to Clover, he was better than that…Clover deserved better than that. Even if this kid was similar, he couldn’t just replace Clover. The kid deserved to not be treated like some echo of another.
…But despite the reassurance, Starlo couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
