i think it’s time for me to retire from writing for genshin impact. it has been a wonderful experience, and i thoroughly enjoy being able to create content for the game—i hold my works for these characters dear to my heart. i just don’t feel as connected to the game anymore to write, despite still loving it and considering it a major interest of mine.

i will not be deleting my works, except for some, so you are free to still enjoy my writing if you wish!

would i quit writing completely? probably not. only for genshin. and even then, i’m not 100% set on it. i have a few more drafts that i would want to finish, but i’m also not sure if i would finish it. if you are willing to take a chance waiting, you can check out my (supposed) new blog because that is where i will be posting, if i do post.

the new blog is @vriothesley! i posted new works on there, albeit very few, if you are interested.

(edit: clarifying that vriothesley is also retired, though i will not be closing it. it will remain up and running, but would have little to no activity.)

i do still read (and subsequently, recommend) fics from time to time, and if you want to see it, my archive and reading account is @cloudford. there are also links in that blog for my other interests and/or endeavors, if you are interested.

it’s been a good few years, and i’ve met amazing people here. i would not exchange the time i was rganvindr & kdaehara on tumblr for anything else. i am more than grateful for all the support i’ve gotten in this silly little hobby for silly little fictional characters.

(i'm sorry this got too long it gave me an existential crisis)

oh. hahah, i guess i didn't think about it too much before but uhhh basically i feel like i was being... limited? because as much as it is creative writing, there are rules to how you can be writing creatively.

i did understand that of course, you have to know that there are ways to improve in writing and to do that, you follow standards. in no way did i think that having those standards for creative writing as something useless, or that i had never learned during my two years in the program because i learned a lot. i learned SO much. and i loved what i learned, and i will genuinely miss it now that i've changed programs.

but having understood that, having learned, having loved what i learned and still feeling like i cannot be a writer by standards just made me realize that maybe it's just not for me. i'm not just cut out for it. maybe i am a good writer, but only for leisure, not for the academe. if i had pushed through the program, i might have lost all love i have from the fun of writing.

hm. i guess you could say i am writing again. just not here.

hi anon! it’s perfectly fine to ask, i know i have not updated it in a while.
