LOL no, I'm not quitting!! Just going on a hiatus for a bit. Read this if you wanna know why, but if not, that's totally fine too. I'll be back to posting eventually!

Anyways, I wanna apologize for the sudden hiatus! I usually just disappear without saying anything, but I figured I should at least make a quick announcement bot this time, especially since my cravetober series is still ongoing and I have like 10 more bots left to finish LOL. Going radio silent in the middle of an unfinished series doesn't feel right yk?

as for why I'm going on hiatus, let's just say my mental health has been deteriorating to a point where I can't really ignore it anymore and dillydally. Breaking my non dominant hand also left me pretty much on edge and feeling like a ticking time bomb gulps.. Nothing on jai pushed me into taking a break, so please don't worry about that. It's genuinely just my health and the fact that I need to start focusing on myself a little more. Even though it's my non dominant hand, writing is still a pain in the ass, and the whole thing has kind of killed my motivation too LOL. There are also some other personal things going on that I'd rather not get into, but yeah! TL;DR, I'm mentally exhausted and need some time to recharge, get my motivation back, and let my hand heal. Hopefully, I'll feel more like myself by the time I return.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!! Thank you all so much for 8K. Like, genuinely, WHAT THE HELL LOL?? It's still so absurd to me because I remember when I was just a small not-so-well-known creator, and now my account is growing way faster than I ever expected. I'm still a little overwhelmed by it all, but I'm incredibly grateful for every single one of you who enjoys my work. I still can't wrap my head around people actually liking the random, niche ass stuff I write (imo) LOL. Seriously thank you for sticking around and supporting me. It means a lot more than I can properly put into words.

So special thanks to my wives, Yael and Rae, for always being there for me. Words genuinely cannot express how much I adore those two. And to the css team gang (puppy, tiger, Claire, cyanoide, reo, Maddie, lav, radi, lulu, and harper), thank you for being such a funny, supportive, and genuinely amazing group of friends. You guys have made things so much more enjoyable for me (maddie I'm still mad at you for not bringing me to universal/j) and thank you for supporting my delusions of actually, definitely being married to killian dupre my most beloved. To all my other friends I've had the pleasure of talking to, I love y'all SO MUCH too!! I obviously can't name everyone because this is already getting long as hell, but Mae, jj, saku/adeo, doe, Eden, barbie, luc, psitta, and so many more of you deserve some love too <33

Lastly, here's a short list of creators I'd like to recommend! I don't follow a whole lot of people because I'm honestly pretty comfortable sticking with the creators I already know and love, but I'd really appreciate it if you checked these people out. I enjoy their bots a lot, and I think their work deserves some love and recognition too : )
