unbowed unbent unbroken

Right, so. In a move that probably surprises absolutely no one, I’ve decided to retire from tumblr RP. 

There are a lot of factors playing into this, but the main one is that I simply don’t have the time to keep up an active blog. 

Alas, I am not 22 years old with unlimited time anymore. I have a career I want to keep advancing in, I’ve taken up TNR which takes a lot of spare time, and I still want to be able to read or watch TV shows. I want to take novel writing back up some time. I can’t do a lot of that if I’m on tumblr. I’ve had to decide what I want to spend time on, and unfortunately, tumblr has not made the cut.

There are other things – to be honest, Ragnarok killed a lot of my love for the MCU Thorverse, at least as far as roleplaying in it is concerned. I just don’t have the passion for it like I did when the first Thor movie came out, or hell, even when Avengers and TDW came out. It’s tiring to invest so much of my time and effort into something that the filmmakers themselves don’t give much of a shit about. Loki’s character has turned into a joke, and the high hopes I had for him post-Thor have not been met in the least. I can’t keep rewriting everything myself; eventually I have to accept that the stories won’t go in the direction I’d hoped for, and move on with my life. I can’t do that if I’m still roleplaying Sigyn on tumblr. 

Frankly, I’m also tired of my stuff getting swiped. I understand that Sigyn isn’t really “my” character, no matter how many years and tears and blood and sweat I’ve poured into crafting her, and that therefore people think it’s okay to take things from my interpretation and use it. As far as myth Sigyn goes, that’s fine; for MCU Sigyn, though? I’ll admit it rankles, even if people think it shouldn’t. 

Also, tumblr RP just inherently has a lot of drama in it that I no longer have the time or patience for at 27 years old. I’m tired of having to defend my character’s actions when she’s anything less than a doormat. 

This isn’t to say it’s been all bad, because of course it hasn’t. I’ve made so many dear friends that I can’t imagine life without. I’ve had great partners and storylines. It’s just that as the years have gone on, those became minimal enough that they no longer outweighed the bad.

What now, then?

I’m still around on Discord, and I’ll still be lightly roleplaying there. You can HMU for my username if you want to add me. I can’t give up on Sigyn entirely. She’s too much a part of my very life. 

As for this blog, I’ll be turning it into an online shrine of sorts. I’ll be posting about myth Sigyn, my thoughts on her, whatever. I won’t be following anyone on it, and I’ll be restricting my interactions with others, but I’ll be here. 

I’m also around on the Incorrect Logyn twitter, though I’ll no longer be posting those on here, as that idea was one of the things that got swiped shortly after I started doing it. Other people can take it up on here, and I wish them all the best with it.
