IMPORTANT BLOG UPDATE

Hey, Internet!

In case you haven't noticed, my coverage over the past few months has been... a bit iffy. My Amphibia reviews have halted entirely, other shows that I was really looking forward to covering—City of Ghosts, Close Enough Season 2, and Elliott from Earth—have failed to come into fruition, and even reviews of the one show that I'm still on top of episodically, Final Space, have not been coming out as on-time as I would like to hope.

I'm incredibly frustrated that I can't attend to everything that I would like to, but I've been having an incredibly arduous semester of college since January which has made it incredibly difficult to allocate as much time as I would like to writing reviews. I alternate between being consumed by work, or alternatively being too exhausted to devote myself to something this intensive in what free time I get. I only really have one day that I'm able to dedicate to writing my reviews, and I try to put everything into that day, but on long weeks they can end up getting squandered pretty easily. 

I am sorry to everyone who enjoyed my coverage of Amphibia and Close Enough that I have been unable to dedicate time to maintaining those bodies of work; I'm as disappointed as you are. I do hope to do some sort of further write-ups concerning Amphibia, perhaps for the Season 2 finale if nothing else so that I can reflect on the past season. I won't lie, though, in also saying that I have been somewhat ambivalent to the direction of the show as it's continued, which has made writing about it frustrating at points. As for the other shows I listed that I wanted to pick up coverage of, I do hope to write something about Elliott from Earth and City of Ghosts at some point in the future. I just can't right now.

I have spent the last four and a half years pouring my life into this blog, but now that my life has become too much to bear for at least this present point in time, I need to loosen away from it and tend to the other things around me. This website has always been a passion project for me, but if I can't put the passion into it right now, why should I keep plugging away at it? I feel a lot of stress and anxiety, and I need to tend to my mental health. Thank you for your understanding.
