FAIR WARNING: This is very disjointed and rambley, a LOT has happened.

So hello my fellow mongus fans! I'm the author of Gone Are The Days, a fic series based off of Rodamrix's Among Us Animated (Alternate!) GATD has been on hiatus for a long while and I figured I should just explain what's happening. I haven't abandoned the fic, but I'm not sure if I want to keep working on it either. I did put it on hiatus originally for the holidays, but then college dragged me down and I had no time to work.

And then some drama happened.

A while back, I found out an among us fan server I was in, full of primarily Rodamrix fans, was supporting some real nasty stuff (ew- proshippers)

Rodamrix themself is not affiliated with this server, it was a private group of friends.

and some of them were also fans of GATD. I left the server for my own mental health, but it's left me really uncomfortable with continuing the fic because of some of the stuff I heard people say regarding me n my fic. I am a Pink IRL, GATD is a retelling of my own memories, with some artistic liberties spliced in bc my memories are fuzzy at best, and I was not omnipotent and knew everything that happened in my canon at all times.

And with the AUA's Alternate timeline progressing in new episodes, the fic is gettign more and more canon-divergent and I've gotten some comments abt how "this isn't how it REALLY happened, do you even watch the show???" and it's just

annoying.

I've also been getting self-conscious about my writing. I don't think it's good, I can't read prior chapters without cringing.

I haven't forgotten about gone are the days!! I 100% intend to finish it, especially considering it features a concept I find intriguing---an immortal outliving their partner. It's especially interesting for Renkaza bc I think there's an element of, well, there's no way Akaza would want to continue living without the one person he considers his "tether," so what if he had another tether? In this case, a vow he makes to serve the Rengoku family? But it doesn't fulfill him it all and brings him more harm than good, and---well I'm getting ahead of myself LOL

But yeah. I'm totally going to finish gone are the day dw, it's just uhh....heavily subject to my busy schedule and capricious writing moods :']
