So long and thanks for all the fish
Right, so. In a move that probably surprises absolutely no one, Iâve decided to retire from tumblr RP.Â
There are a lot of factors playing into this, but the main one is that I simply donât have the time to keep up an active blog.Â
Alas, I am not 22 years old with unlimited time anymore. I have a career I want to keep advancing in, Iâve 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 canât do a lot of that if Iâm on tumblr. Iâve had to decide what I want to spend time on, and unfortunately, tumblr has not made the cut.
There are other things â 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 donât have the passion for it like I did when the first Thor movie came out, or hell, even when Avengers and TDW came out. Itâs tiring to invest so much of my time and effort into something that the filmmakers themselves donât give much of a shit about. Lokiâs character has turned into a joke, and the high hopes I had for him post-Thor have not been met in the least. I canât keep rewriting everything myself; eventually I have to accept that the stories wonât go in the direction Iâd hoped for, and move on with my life. I canât do that if Iâm still roleplaying Sigyn on tumblr.Â
Frankly, Iâm also tired of my stuff getting swiped. I understand that Sigyn isnât really âmyâ character, no matter how many years and tears and blood and sweat Iâve poured into crafting her, and that therefore people think itâs okay to take things from my interpretation and use it. As far as myth Sigyn goes, thatâs fine; for MCU Sigyn, though? Iâll admit it rankles, even if people think it shouldnât.Â
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. Iâm tired of having to defend my characterâs actions when sheâs anything less than a doormat.Â
This isnât to say itâs been all bad, because of course it hasnât. Iâve made so many dear friends that I canât imagine life without. Iâve had great partners and storylines. Itâs just that as the years have gone on, those became minimal enough that they no longer outweighed the bad.
Iâm still around on Discord, and Iâll still be lightly roleplaying there. You can HMU for my username if you want to add me. I canât give up on Sigyn entirely. Sheâs too much a part of my very life.Â
As for this blog, Iâll be turning it into an online shrine of sorts. Iâll be posting about myth Sigyn, my thoughts on her, whatever. I wonât be following anyone on it, and Iâll be restricting my interactions with others, but Iâll be here.Â
Iâm also around on the Incorrect Logyn twitter, though Iâll 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.Â
Otherwise, thanks for the great years, and for giving my Sigyn a chance. I love all yâall that matter, and the rest Iâve hexed or forgotten about. Smooches! <3
