another one, yes. this is a little more srs than usual (i guess?) so yeah... this is a long read, so uh, be ready?

i MIGHT quit making bots, but i have a good reason!! i used to really like doing every request and all but they all piled up and theyre all just there and idk what to do. i know i can just make them but making at least three hundred (more or less) bots on c.ai and on janitor is quite literally impossible, especially since half of them dont have any prompt and idk if i should start making changes like what fandom i'll only be doing and such, but idk i dont want to restrict my audience, but yeah. ALSO character ai is giving me a lot of issues regarding heavily filtering my friends' bots (i basically cant use anything that is even slightly suggestive but it might be because i probably posted a few bots that they didnt like, so.... its kinda my fault but its still hella annoying, even when i make NORMAL bots it still restricts me from doing certain things.)

also, im gonna be busy with exams for the whole of september, late october n most of november, so if i come back from my huge break and i decide to make bots again, i'll simply... upload something. but again, im not sure what to do since i lost a lot of interest in making bots, especially with the consideration of how AI affects communities n the planet, and i know im just a creator but i also use bots as well, and idk i guess social media has made me feel bad for using AI (for good reason tbh) often, so yeah im also struggling with that.

oh, and im also writing fanfics at the moment, but im taking a break from that too because of exams and stuff, and because its my last few months of school left, i want to put a lot of effort into my academics, so late November or early December i might come back, might not? idk. but yeah im also just experiencing a lot of fatigue in general, and im at the age where i have a lot to lose (such as university opportunities as an example or not passing the final grade) and im feeling a lot of pressure about it. ngl, i dont want to rant too much but i've just been so emotionally disstressed because i STILL have assignments to do while i have exams and i HAVE to focus on my art because 1) i take it as a subject lol so i have no other choice, and 2) i want to improve on my concepts n stuff. yeah this is NOTHING to do with the current topic but im giving insight into how i actually feel rn.

so even though i've been creating bots for 2 years now (almost three in February?) and i gained a huge following with a lot of support, it just feels... weird to just suddenly let it all go. but im doing it for my own self interest at the end of the day, and if its my decision to quit, i'll announce it and maybe start focusing more on writing because its something i've come to love when it comes to doing this type of content, so... yeah 😦

in conclusion, i might quit, might not quit, but im taking an indefinite break until i can feel... the need to do this again or if i want to. so uhhh yeah! might have some alternative solutions to this, idk, but yeah. hopefully this didnt upset you (i'd hope not, ngl), and that you have a good day or night further 🌸 byeeee
