"hi guys,

really kinda shit news for me that i truly never thought i'd have to give, but i've been thinking about tf!water these past couple days and what to do with his story. the truth is that all this news has been HORRIFIC on my irl health, mentally and physically. i'm really grieving and as much as I would love to do justice to this character, he really wouldn't have any compelling narrative arc without his sister.

i've tried to figure out really ANY way i can bring him to a place of peace through this, and all of them seem really incomplete. obviously a grief story would make the most sense, but the idea of performing grief while actively grieving irl fills me with nothing less than dread.

i was truly incredible friends with these people, and knowing that tf!water started out so entwined with them just makes me so uncomfortable to continue. i want to grieve this in solitude, and not have to roleplay it in front of an audience.

so the flight prod team and i are working on a new character for me, that is as far away from tf!water as possible. so i'm going to be playing a woman called tf!ellie (my irl name)!! concept art will come as soon as it's finished 🩵

i will miss the gender euphoria, and i will miss being cranky and mean. i know you guys will miss him too, but i think this is the best solution to an unwinnable situation.

SPOILERS FOR TF!WATER'S CANON END

||tf!water canonically carried tf!avid and tf!marm to a far away part of the realm. never to be seen again. he believed the academy was an unsafe place to be for his family after the rot hit, and he wanted no part in it.||

i'm genuinely so sorry, i loved that guy. but it's just not something i can do anymore. i hope you are all okay with this decision 🩵"

STREAM SURE WAS SOMETHING!
