#but i think its important to remember that boycotting rq network shows because of this will only harm the creators

hey folks, just wanted to let you know that i'll be taking a break from tumblr for a little while (see previous post for explanation). i've realised that all this drama is really getting to me, and so i think i should keep my distance for now to protect my mental health, until things have calmed down and/or i'm in a better headspace to deal with it. i'll definitely be back though! i love my weird little corner of the internet too much to abandon it permanently. thank you to everyone who reacted to my vent post, it made me feel a lot less alone <3

#atm there are so many different opinions floating around that i find it very difficult to make up my mind about the article #i still think that at least some of the points are valid but it may not be as simple as people (myself included) have made it out to be #harlan guthrie of malevolent made a post about it that imo offers a really interesting alternative perspective #so i'd encourage people to check that out if theyve read the article so they can get a more balanced view #but i'll try not to draw any conclusions until we have more evidence #but i think its important to remember that boycotting rq network shows because of this will only harm the creators #and even for tma i personally dont believe that rq deserves sole (or even most of the) credit #for turning it into something that resonated with so many people #many of those who worked on tma arent rq execs or even all that involved with rq outside of tma (including jonny himself ofc) #so i think itd be a real shame if rq's (alleged) shady business practices ruined tma for people to whom it really meant something #my excitement about tmp has certainly been... dampened but i'll still try to approach it with an open mind #as long as jonny is working on it (and seems genuinely excited about it) i'm cautiously optimistic that it won't be a bad story #but i'm rambling again so tldr: shit is complicated #i really need to pick up my meds today because this is not a great time to be going through antidepressant withdrawal #todays a bad pain day so i'm not thrilled about leaving the house but whatever #anyway bye for now! see y'all (hopefully) soon :)
